Result

I’m not removing it. Not because the result of the poll is like that, but because I’m tired of being called a child abuser by people. Even if they are right or wrong. My apologies to those who think otherwise.

As you know, we’ve had a lot of drama about age in last days. And I’m so sorry to open a new one. I hope I don’t use the wrong word this time :)

You can see current rules below, which suggested by @throwawayforratings@lemmynsfw.com in here.

  • 1: No sexual depictions of real people under the age of 18. Period.
  • 2: No sexual artwork of fictional characters who are canonically under the age of 18. (eg, Sailor Moon, Rei Ayanami, Lisa Simpson, etc.) This includes “aged up” versions of such characters.
  • 3: No sexual artwork of fictional characters who unambiguously appear under the age of 18, regardless of canonical age. This includes, but is not limited to, “3,000 year old dragon loli” type characters. The basis for this will be behavior and physical appearance. Admin/mod’s decision is final.
  • 4: Sexual artwork of fictional characters with no canonical age and ambiguously youthful appearance is allowed, at admin/mod’s discretion.

The problem is rule 2. In the current hentai communities, if we look at canonical age, it’s around 30% underage. However, looking at the images, not all of these contents appear as underage. Check out some of the reports:

These characters are all canonically underage, but only last one (and maybe 3th) looks underage. This makes moderation difficult. Anyway, I wanted to ask everyone because I’m very indecisive about this. IDK how Reddit handled these.

Do you think we should remove the 2nd rule and examine it under the 3rd rule or should the rule remain?

Also we’re looking for an admin

We are looking for someone who is especially knowledgeable about hentai, who can take care of this business regardless of the outcome of the decision. I sent an offer to @securitas@lemmynsfw.com regarding this. Looking for another admin too.

    A rule based on ‘canonical age’ is nonsensical. They’re fictional characters.

    Not to mention rule 2 and 3 when put together are incoherent. Either ‘canonical age’ is relevant and rule 3 should go, or it is irrelevant and rule 2 needs to go.

    Since the appearance of a character is more important than whatever number an author decided for age, then rule 2 makes sense to remove.
