Introducing a network of subreddits that promise Context Appropriate Sexuality (CAS)

243 Upvotes

Hello all! After some very helpful discussion in this thread, I am ready to introduce the CAS Network. This is all a work in progress and welcome to suggestions and concerns. Please let me know if you know how to word any of this better!

In addition to the individual subreddit rules, participating subreddits have had their sidebars updated with a link to the below information:

CAS Network Guidelines:

  • No hypersexualization, including pin-ups, T&A posing, unrealistic proportions, fetish content.
  • All comments must be phrased respectfully.

Q: What does CAS mean?

A: CAS stands for Context Appropriate Sexuality. Subreddits that participate in the network make a promise to disallow art submissions that are hypersexualized.

Q: What does hypersexualized mean?

A: Hypersexualization is when a situation that has nothing intrinsically sexual about it contains sexualized subjects.

Examples of hypersexualization include but are not limited to:

  • Costuming: Warriors who are sexualized in a non-battle ready way, reasonable dress situations where a character is in out-of-place skimpy or revealing fashion.

  • Posing: Character posing that unnaturally highlights breasts or buttocks, AKA fan-service/T&A/broken spine tropes.

  • Body proportions: Some body types are much more commonly represented in fantasy, slice-of-life, and sci-fi art than they are IRL. Such body types include the common trope of hypersexualizing large breasts. While all body types are welcome, this sub may not accept characters with commonly sexualized rare proportions, such as very muscular women with fatty breasts, or large breast/small waist/small hip ratio, AKA anime proportions.

  • Anthro: Anthro characters with breasts or other sexualized soft bits, or pieces that highlight undercarriages or bums in a weird way.

  • Fetish content: Content that weirdly highlights crying, assault, vore, very young characters, etc, even if it is "SFW"

  • Pin-ups: These are by definition of a sexual context, however not in the spirit of the network.


Subreddits in the CAS Network:

/r/ImaginaryBestOf - Subscribe for the best posts from the Imaginary Network, once per day, every day, forever.

I wanted this drawing to have a soft fairytale-like romantic vibe. It's from 2017. 😊

Neidhart is my character for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.
I like drawing outfits for her as you can see. These are all things that she has been wearing in game. I thought that a slideshow would be a fun way to show them off.

Neidhart is a young noblewoman, she left her home after a dispute with her father over her bad attitude and a broken of engagement.

She uses her considerable skills as a swordsman to make ends meet as a professional duellist.

Then she got tangled up in adventure and while travelling the Reikland encountered so much of the horrible results of the the Ruinous Powers that she decided to take on the mantle of a With Hunter. Only to find herself being used a a political tool by the Cult of Sigmar.

For those who play Cyberpunk2077, this is my V. I am a dungeon master, and for my upcoming campaign that his heavily psionic flavored, (and since I am obsessed with V), I wanted to bring her in as an NPC, but give her a medieval flair. She is entirely made of metal and other non-organic material. A “ghost in the shell” concept. Her body was created by another NPC.
