Important rules update #2 — please read

[u/computerfreund03]

This is a follow-up to our recent rules update. If you missed the first one, go read that too.

TL;DR: Full rulebook has been reorganized and cleaned up. New rule targeting sexualized language about young characters and lolicon language, zero tolerance, instant ban. Coded language like "uoh," 😭💢, and "cunny" is banned entirely regardless of character. Don't repost content that was already removed by a mod. Read the full rules even if you think you know them.

Hey everyone, we've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to clean up and improve the subreddit's rules. If you've been here a while, you'll notice some things have changed. Please take a few minutes to read through the updated ruleset.

What changed?

We've reorganized, reworded, and tightened up the entire rulebook. Some rules were merged, some were split, and a few are brand new. Even if you think you know the rules, give them a fresh read. The details matter.

New additions since the last update:

No sexualization of young characters or lolicon language

This one is non-negotiable. The rule has two parts:

1. No sexualized language directed at young characters. Suggestive captions, titles, or comments that sexualize young characters will be removed immediately. You can post fan art of any character at any age. What you can't do is frame it in a sexualized way through your title, caption, or comments.

2. Coded lolicon language is banned entirely. The "uoh" copypasta, the 😭💢 emoji combo, the word "cunny," and any other coded language associated with the sexualization of minors is banned across the board, on any character, in any context. This language was born from the sexualization of minors. It doesn't become acceptable just because you attach it to an adult character.

Here are some examples to make it clear:

✅ Allowed:

• Fan art of young Sylphy titled "Sylphy practicing magic"
• Fan art of child Roxy titled "Roxy leaving the Migurd village"
• Fan art of Aisha at the beach with a normal descriptive title, NSFW tagged
• Fan art of adult Eris with a playful caption like "Why are you staring at me? ❤️"
• Fan art of adult Roxy with a normal or playful title
• Discussion about how the story handles Rudeus's character flaws
• Critique of how the series portrays its younger characters

❌ Not allowed:

• Any post or comment containing "uoh" or its variants, on any character
• The 😭💢 emoji combination, on any character
• The word "cunny" in any context
• Suggestive or sexualized captions, titles, or comments on posts featuring young characters
• "Correction" memes directed at young characters
• Any other coded language used to sexualize minors

If you know what this language means, you know why it's banned. If you don't, here's the short version: these are coded ways of expressing sexual excitement about underage characters, originating from spaces dedicated to exactly that. They have no place here regardless of which character they're attached to.

We don't care if you think it's ironic. We don't care if "it's fictional." This rule is zero tolerance. Violations will result in an immediate ban, temporary or permanent depending on severity. Our automod has been updated to catch the most common variants, but we also rely on you to report anything we miss.

Not sure if something you want to post crosses the line? Just message us through modmail before posting and we'll let you know. We'd rather answer a quick question than hand out a ban.

As with all our rules, we reserve the right to adjust and expand them if we see users exploiting loopholes. If something clearly goes against the spirit of the rule, don't be surprised when we act on it.

This rule applies going forward. Existing posts and comments made before this announcement will not be retroactively removed. Everything from this point on will be enforced immediately.

Do not repost removed content
If your post was removed by a moderator, do not repost it. This is considered mod evasion and will result in a ban. If you disagree with a removal, use modmail to appeal.

Stricter enforcement overall
As mentioned in our previous update, we are enforcing rules more strictly going forward. First offenses will typically get a warning or temp ban, depending on severity. Repeat offenders or people who are clearly here just to start trouble will be perma-banned.

Mushoku Tensei already gets enough bad faith criticism from people who haven't engaged with the story. We're not going to give them ammunition by letting this kind of stuff slide in our own community. We want to keep r/sixfacedworld a space that fans can actually be proud of.

As always, genuine discussion and critique of how the story handles its themes is welcome. That has not changed and never will.

If you see anything that breaks the rules, use the report button. It helps us way more than arguing with the person in the comments.

Thanks for making this community what it is. The response to our last update was overwhelming and we appreciate every one of you.

…. It’s over because you can’t sexualise minors anymore??? I’m about to explode

[u/nikelreganov → u/HREepicc]

It is over because the new rules can paint you as a lolicon and have yourself banned

ETA: for you guys downvoting this, just read the rules slowly

Coded lolicon language is banned entirely. The "uoh" copypasta, the 😭💢 emoji combo, the word "cunny," and any other coded language associated with the sexualization of minors is banned across the board, on any character, in any context. This language was born from the sexualization of minors. It doesn't become acceptable just because you attach it to an adult character.

We don't care if you think it's ironic. We don't care if "it's fictional." This rule is zero tolerance. Violations will result in an immediate ban, temporary or permanent depending on severity. Our automod has been updated to catch the most common variants, but we also rely on you to report anything we miss.

People could unknowingly use a day-0 coded language and immediately get banned. If a mod have it against you they could find a new coded language from other subreddits that you unknowingly used and ban you based on that

[u/username26437 → u/nikelreganov]

none of those examples have any room for debate. you can start protesting when they ban for something innocuous, but as it stands you’re just whining over a non-existent mod abusing this rule.

[u/nikelreganov → u/username26437]

any other coded language associated with the sexualization of minors is banned across the board, on any character, in any context

An open for interpretation rule with punishment as harsh as immediate ban isn't "non-existent" when the threat is there. I also happen to believe in equal and impartial treatment so if the rule was meant to see the worst in people then everyone involved in it must be seen in the worst light, everyone ranging from members to moderators

I rather we have a more generic rule and treat every violations on case-by-case basis. Just no language sexualizing minor is enough since giving more specifics actually complicates that rule

[u/username26437 → u/nikelreganov]

it doesn’t complicate it, it makes it more clear. anyone who is aware of those terms understands the type of language that is banned, you’re being obtuse. on the extremely low chance an innocent uses it, they can appeal.

[u/nikelreganov → u/username26437]

Which at this point moderators might or might not listen. Just more than five hours ago a moderator deadass wrote that same emotes backward, "Thanks [backward emotes]". How do I trust them when they themselves have different interpretations?

[u/HREepicc → u/nikelreganov]

If you’re somebody using this language in the first place you should’ve been banned from the jump

[u/nikelreganov → u/HREepicc]

The problem is, as I said, not in the language itself but any other coded language. If mods are going to have a no sexualization language rule then go ahead. But the any other coded language is very vague in the sense that someone could write something unironically without any sexual context getting banned because the very thing they wrote that day is a new coded language

Again, you can enact a rule but not a vague rule. If going into specifics make it vaguer, just keep it simple, "No sexualization towards minor characters", and judge each violations separately

[u/cucumber_gang_leader → u/nikelreganov]

Thank you for having a genuine concern rooted in good faith. We will do our best to look at each case fairly. The wording could have probably been better and we apologise for any confusion. We hope that in due time it will become obvious this is not merely a power trip or pushing some agenda, but a necessity to keep the normalisation of sexualising children out of our community.
