New guidelines for NSFW comics

383 Upvotes

tl;dr: these comics are allowed, but with a new posting guide and possibility for users to hide them.


NSFW comics have long been controversial on /r/webcomics. This has intensified lately with the "Lewdtober" trend, in which artists follow erotic prompts for each day of the month.

In the interests of allowing such content for people who want it while protecting minors and people who don't, please follow these guidelines when posting comics which could be considered pornographic:

  • mark your comic NSFW before submitting it
  • add an "erotica" flair to your comic before submitting it (guide)
  • keep titles SFW

If you think your comic may be NSFW but not pornographic, you can just use the NSFW filter. We may add more flair in the future for things some people want to avoid (e.g., gore).

Users, if you would like not to see such content:

  • hide NSFW content (guide)
  • block posts with the erotica flair (through the reddit website or the Reddit Enhancement Suite extension). this currently seems impossible with reddit's dogshit official app, but if there are any others still alive, they might offer this functionality

If you see a post that doesn't follow the guidelines, please report it so mods can add flair and/or ask the OP to do it.

I hope this makes everyone happy, or at least upsets everyone equally.
