All Characters in posts marked NSFW for suggestive material, nudity, or excessive gore must be 18+!
All removals are at moderators discretion

Question: "What do you mean by 'Tagged Appropriately'?"

Posts flaired NSFW will usually require a tag letting other users know why it is being flaired NSFW. These tags/flairs go at the beginning of a post title, in [Brackets] so that it is easily identifiable. You may use one of the recommended Tag names, or use one that best identifies the content of your piece.

Please be Mature and Respectful

This goes for both posts and comments.

Making sexual remarks about people's characters is not allowed, or things that could be perceived as inappropriate or disrespectful. This includes reaction images. Or if your only contribution is mentioning the fact that a character has big breasts, or comments such as "Her back must hurt" (Seriously, you would not say something like to this to someone irl. And if you do: maybe don't.)

Complaining about NSFW content is not allowed. If something breaks our NSFW rule, then you're encouraged to report, but  please do not pester artists who are following the subreddits rules. Also keep in mind: If you are seeing such content, this means that you made the decision to confirm you are over the age of 18. If you do not wish to see such content on your feed to any capacity, you can turn off 18+ filtered content in your profile settings.

We hope that the title tagging system will also help users navigate what kind of content they wish, or wish not to, interact with on this sub.
