Fixing lewdness issues

Go To

This thread is for cleaning up pages that violate the No Lewdness, No Prudishness policy.

Do not use this thread for reporting pages that need to be cut for violating The Content Policy. Report pages that appear too lewd or gushy to have on the wiki using the "Report Page" button on the sidebar, with the checkbox saying "The page may violate the Content Policy" checked. That will create a thread on the Content Violation Discussions subforum. The thread will be opened by a mod if the report is valid, and if it's deemed necessary, the page will be cleaned according to the Content Policy. (The list of pages that were deemed problematic can be found on The Content Policy's page.)

No Lewdness:

"Lewdness" is more than just being about something sexual or potentially sexual. Here are some signs of lewd writing:

  1. Personal opinions on hotness. Examples should stand on their own without the introduction of YMMV material. Adding your own thoughts and feelings on an example is an opinion, same as calling an example good or bad. Don't do it. Don't try and extend your feelings to a larger group of fans either, e.g. "...and fangirls everywhere rejoiced". You're not fooling anyone.
  2. Overly detailed examples. The example doesn't need to be an exact sensory account of the event. Too much of that and you end up sounding like you're writing porn. When in doubt, drop a few adjectives.
  3. Unrelated fanservice mentions. If the hot bits aren't related to the example, they don't belong in the example.
  4. Pornographic writing. If you're writing porn, it should be somewhere other than the wiki. Keep it Family Friendly.
  5. Titillation links. Tell, don't show. We don't need screen shots to illustrate NSFW fanservice. If a reader is really curious, they can go look it up on Google. (See also Weblinks Are Not Examples.)
  6. Pedo gushing. We don't need to describe children sexually. This should be cut immediately. We're not interested in hosting pedophilia fantasies. Period. If a work contains children having sex, even if portrayed negatively, report it as a potential violation of The Content Policy using the "Report Page" button in the sidebar.
  7. Talking about actors instead of characters. An actor is not the character they play. When you're writing an example about a work, refer to the character, not the actor. This applies to non-sexual references, but too often it's tropers writing about how they find certain actors hot. That doesn't fit in character examples.
  8. Thinking a page with a Not Safe for Work subject is license to be lewd. Even when we discuss porn, we are about just stating the facts.
  9. Fanfic Recs for underage sex. We will not host any recommendation for fics that have explicit sex involving people apparently or actually younger than 16. Period. We categorically do not recommend fics with sex in which at least one participant:
This applies even if all parties are underage.

No Prudishness:

  1. Don't cutlist or gut pages just because they're about sexual topics. Sex exists. It's used in media a lot. You'll just need to cope with that fact. Relationships, fanservice, and sexual activity all fall into their own tropes as a result.
  2. Don't be a Bluenose Bowdlerizer. We're not looking to censor all sex off the wiki. If the sex and sexuality is an honest part of the work and relevant to the example, it belongs there.
  3. The wiki is not rated G. We aren't sanitizing the wiki for small children. Sex and sexuality are part of media and we aren't going to ignore them. This wiki is Family Friendly, not Unsupervised Small Child Friendly. This isn't an excuse to make work pages dirtier than the work itself, as the above No Lewdness section makes clear, but neither is it an excuse to make those pages cleaner than the work itself.

For further explanations, please read this thread

Don't know if this is really too lewd an entry, but I found this on the web original page for Creator's Pet:

  • Porn example: Sara Stone on Naughty America. After being gone a few years, she returned to the biz with a "exclusive" deal with the site. As expected, she had a couple new scenes... then more and more and more... to the extent that if there was a possible sub-site/genre she could be placed in (ex. threesomes, cowgirl as in the occupation, cheating wife, etc.) you could best believe she was there, sometimes two scenes of her per week. This isn't to say that she was actually bad in said scenes, but the viewers called the site on it and eventually the frequency died down along with the exclusive deal.

Aside from this entry being explicitly about a porn site, this is pretty much troping a real life person just because they appeared in a lot of porn videos. Should we cut this entry?

I'd say so. On top of troping pure porn, I'm pretty sure this doesn't fit the trope as it's an actress, not her character. Also it misuses He's Back!.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Third Crisis seems a bit odd to trope.

I've played it, and it's definitely a porn game. There's a plot, but it's not the real focus...

Sebeck 1468 has added the following sentence (in bold) to an example from Astonishing X-Men:

  • Mr. Fanservice: Colossus is the main source of fanservice. He is given multiple shirtless scenes throughout the comic and even spends the first 3 issues of his resurrection wearing nothing but a tight red speedo, with quite a few panels displaying loving close ups of his ass and muscles. Emma even compliments him on his physique several times.

I feel like this doesn't add much to the example; and the fact the user also added an entry describing Colossus' "endowment" to X-Men: '70s Members makes me think they are just gushing over the character. In any case, I don't want to come off as overzealous, so should this stay on the page or be removed?

Or: "with quite a few panels displaying close ups of his body." 'Camera' framing is noteworthy.

Does this on HoYay.Anime And Manga violate the content policy? Training with Hinako was cut by the P5 because Bathtime with Hinako and Hiyoko was pedo-pandering, and only allowed to be restored if it excluded the third episode.

Yeah its directly recapping the sexualized parts that got the episode banished in the first place. I do not think anything about that example is salvageable.

Sick Episode has an entry that kinda skeeves me out as it mentions fetishes.

What do you think about my analysis?

For every low there is a high.

I think the fact that this particular fetish is innocuous on the surface level means it's probably not that big a deal. The mention of the actual episode title is probably okay, but remove the Hilarious in Hindsight pothole and the spoiler markup, or even reduce it to a "not to be confused with the later episode of the same name" bit earlier on. And yeah, cut the gushing from the Team Rocket one too.

I don't actually know if standalone works can qualify as Sick Episode anyway.

Hello. I already discussed this on ATT, but I thought I'd go here to ask about some additional details I'd like to have clarified.

Recently, the Japanese adult video company GIGA made Kyuusei Sentai Wakusaber, a six-episode parody series of Super Sentai/Power Rangers. The first five episodes are all family friendly, feature no pornographic content and are available on Youtube. The sixth episode however is only available on Giga's website, and is a straight-up porno, but also concludes the story.

The people I spoke with on ATT all seem to be in consensus that it would be okay for me to make a page on the first five episodes of Wakusaber, but I was wondering if it would be okay for me to make a page on the sixth episode as well so long as I don't mention the... explicit bits... in too much detail. In my discussion on ATT, I was made aware of two works that follow similar rules and I was wondering how their rules might apply here.

If you'd like additional clarification, here is a link to the original discussion that took place.

Just imagine something here.

Just write for the first five episodes. Maybe put a warning for the sixth.

The ratio of 5 purely no-porn episodes to one that still has plot in it but also sex is fine for the wiki. The policy is not a complete purging of everything with explicitness, but the stuff that is just the sex. So yeah, you can talk about the plot points that #6 closes up, just put a warning that its NSFW and don't go indepth on what exactly sex is happening.

I think this goes here. Just came across this entry on Snake People:

  • Erotic TF artist Darin Brown uses the pseudonym Naga, and has drawn several "self-portraits" of his female Naga persona. NSFW link.

Would it be okay to remove the link and replace it with a sentence naming the artist's site, or should the whole thing be removed?

#696: Sep 3rd 2021 at 12:54:18 PM

I'm leaning to cutting the whole mention. "They drew (naked) snakepeople sometimes" is way too barebones and going indepth is going into pornyness.

There's this on YMMV.Juno under Misaimed Fandom:

  • Not by a whole lot, but pregnancy fetishists have a great admiration for this movie, especially the scene in which Juno enthusiastically rolls up her shirt for Vanessa at the mall.

99% sure this can immediately be axed.
