Content guidelines
These guidelines help determine appropriate content tagging. While not exhaustive, they outline the consensus on what constitutes Suggestive and/or Explicit content.
Special Considerations¶
Exceptions may arise due to content diversity. Always consider complete tagging requirements before concluding exemptions apply.
Visually Non-Human Avatars in a State of Undress¶
Visually non-human Avatars are characterized by:
- Complete fur/scale coverage (anthropomorphic animals/furries)
- Robotic/mechanical design
- Non-humanoid body structure (abstract, geometric)
These Avatars are exempt from Explicit full frontal nudity considerations, unless they have visible genitals, reproductive organs or breasts on female-presenting bodies.
- Minimally defined breasts without explicit detail are considered Suggestive.
Rule of thumb:
Would this be acceptable on a children's cartoon show?
Standard clothing considerations apply to visually non-human Avatars as outlined below.
If in doubt: tag it. Better to be overly cautious with potentially Suggestive/Explicit content.
Suggestive¶
Content implying sexual themes without explicit material; revealing clothing, romantic interactions, suggestive poses similar to PG-13 movies, music videos, or fashion advertisements.
Suggestive content is not barred from public instance types.
Avatar Appearance¶
Revealing Attire (covers intimate areas):
- Low-cut tops, micro-skirts, bikinis
- Pants/undergarments accentuating buttocks
Form-fitting Clothing (non-accentuating):
- Bodysuits, leotards, lingerie
Suggestive Designs:
- Imagery depicting suggestive figures/poses
Avatar Function¶
Suggestive Animations:
- Flirty poses and moves
- Suggestive dancing
Worlds/Props¶
Worlds and Props follow the same standards as Avatars, including:
- Posters with suggestive imagery
- Statues/figures in revealing attire
Explicit¶
Content showing sexual acts, full nudity with intimate areas visible, or material designed for sexual arousal. This adult-only content would receive R/NC-17 ratings or be restricted on mainstream platforms.
Explicit content is not completely barred from public instances. See Behaviour Guidelines for applicable rules.
Avatar Appearance¶
Full/Partial Nudity:
- Exposed genitalia (penis, sheath, testicles, vagina, anus)
- Visible internal genitalia/reproductive organs (due to transparent body)
- Exposed nipples on female-presenting bodies
- Minimal coverage (bandages, pasties, tape, microkini)
Obscenely Exaggerated Proportions:
- Body parts of an intimate/suggestive nature scaled to sizes that lack reasonable proportional balance relative to body structure and become the dominant visual element
Fetish/Bondage Attire:
- Collars with explicit tags, ball gags, ring gags
- Bondage gear with specific intent for fetish play
- Sex toys
Explicit Designs:
- Pornographic imagery
- Designs highlighting sexual anatomy
Revealing Coverage:
- Clearly defined genital bulges/detailing
- Transparent clothing exposing intimate areas
- Form-fitting attire displaying explicit detail
Avatar Function¶
Nudity Toggles:
- Clothing removal revealing prohibited anatomy
Sexual Interactions:
- Penetration systems
- Sexual collider/trigger responses
Explicit Audio:
- Sexual sounds (moaning, penetration, orgasm, ejaculation)
Sexual Attachments:
- Sex toys, strap-ons
- Simulated bodily functions (ejaculation, lactation)
Worlds/Props¶
Worlds and Props follow the same standards as Avatars, including:
Sexually Focused Content:
- Strip clubs
- Pornographic imagery
- Sex toys and explicit audio systems
