Hi all! As promised, here is the proposed text of the newest version of the rules. The staff has gone through like eight drafts and literally thousands and thousands of matrix posts to get here, so please be kind. You can see @limeey’s comment on the transparency post if you want more insight into how this sausage was made.
We are opening these rules to commentary from the community before they go into effect. To be clear, this isn’t a vote, but we will take all community feedback into account and answer whatever questions we can before finalizing anything.
Please keep in mind that we are not Reddit, we do not have Reddit’s resources, and safety and consent are our priorities.
I’ll post the draft in two parts in two comments: The new sidebar, and the FAQ/clarifications page.
I think we’ll just have to bite the bullet and make another hentai-instance. Hentai can not and will not work under rules like these.
What about short women? There’s a community called Shortstacks. So are they considered underage because they’re short? What about Midna from Zelda? Do we just need to add boobs to make a character into an adult? Are flatchests just completely forbidden since you can’t assess wether someone is 17, 19 or 21? (Hell the Evangelion girls (Asuka and Rei) are 14 and 13 and look like somewhere between 17 and 19 to me)
Edit: I think the FAQ (haven’t read it yet when I wrote this) solves the issue with underage hentai. I still think it’s quite restrictive but hey it’s probably the best we can get with all the Americans losing their minds over this.
Not sure if rhetorical, but I think most understand it pretty clear that no one is offended simply by short stature or flat chest.
It’s short + zero body fat (including boobs) + no hips + twig arms and legs + pigtails + school uniform + baby face + baby voice + childish activity + context clues as to being underage, etc etc etc…
We all know what it means.
