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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Unrelated fanservice mentions. If the hot bits aren't related to the example, they don't belong in the example.
- Pornographic writing. If you're writing porn, it should be somewhere other than the wiki. Keep it Family Friendly.
- 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.)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Not sure if it was ever mentioned before (it probably was given the page's age), but thoughts on PlayingWith.Naughty Tentacles? Based on a discussion post from 2019, it existed at some point beforehand, was cut, and then recreated last year
. Was that done with permission?
And what was the context for the page being previously deleted? Was it based on discussions in this thread or possibly the Playing With thread? I'm confused as to why a trope that's denied having entries for over a decade by this point would permit a Playing With page. (If there is a justifiable reason for it, it should probably be included in the page as a commented-out note or something for reference.)

Thanks for playing King's Quest V!
That is a good point, I was a bit confused with that myself. And if it isn’t allowed, the page should be PRLC’d.
EDIT: Raised this in the wiki policy thread

"The only thing which is certain, is that something will happen".
I wasn’t sure what to do about that myself - I don’t know if preemptive action in such a way is permitted, but they have almost exclusively focused on Playing With pages for Sex Tropes.
I created one
— I suppose it makes sense given how many pages they affected.
Crossposted to the Playing With cleanup thread - PlayingWith.Gay Guy Seeks Popular Jock needs a clean for lewdness.
Blase is still editing FWIW. Haven't checked through his edits but it might be worth doing because he's still editing PW pages, and if he's still adding lewd crap an ATT may be necessary.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallIt's not just lewdness
their pages have issues with. We should probably consolidate the discussion on the other thread.
Made an ATT
. Apologies if it comes off a little rushed.
On PlayingWith.Dance Party Ending, under “Parodied”
- Alice was stripped naked but otherwise unharmed during the final battle. Despite being embarrassed over being seen naked and wanting to get herself clothed as soon as possible, she is forced to dance with the rest of the party in the street before she could get clothed.
Cut, right?
BlueBlazesYes, that doesn't even have any relevance to the trope.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall![]()
It's a shoehorn of public nudity on a trope that has nothing to do with it. Cut it.
There's been someone who keeps adding random references to public nudity on Playing With pages (usually under either the Parodied or Exaggerated section), and that looks like one of their edits.
Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.Highfalutin Quelea, I'm guessing? Mainly because they made that edit?
I'm so tempted at this point to just update the Playing With main page to be like "keep your creepy ass fetishes and fantasies off the page"
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallAt this point, a specialized cleanup for scrubbing lewdness from the Playing With wiki might be necessary because the amount of fetish content those pages attract is rather concerning.
We have a Playing With Page cleanup already which has been tackling a lot of it. The two issues just overlap a lot.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallGoing to follow up on Adannor's post
and list the Blue Archive memes that got cut but weren't lewd to warrant that:
- Wolfseggs SteelExplanation I reworded it to fix grammar and removed the mention to pornography, and it's just a dirty pun.
- There's no other choice but to have sex, don't you think? Explanation (NSFW Warning!) A meme due to a mistranslation and referring to an adult-looking character, worth restoring
- Shanhaijing Education Group Service Explanation Just Fun with Acronyms
I'm more ambivalent about restoring these examples about Sensei. They feel redundant to his Memetic Loser entry in the YMMV page.
- Sensei is so weak / Sensei has no rights in Kivotos / Sensei is everyone's property in Kivotos Explanation (NSFW Warning!)
- Sensei's moral code / "The students forced me" Explanation
- No-genes Sensei Explanation
- Sensei falls victim to the Dryness Squad Explanation
Any others I didn't mention are because I'm fine with leaving them cut.
I'm also going to propose cutting this in YMMV.Blue Archive despite being an actual nickname because that term implies sexualization is happening:
- Fan Nickname:
- Little Shun/Shunling is nicknamed by the playerbase as "Shunny", which is just the combination of the word "Shun" and "Cunny" for obvious reasons.
Edited by animuacid on Jul 13th 2025 at 4:02:01 PM
yeah, the shun nickname can be cut. (god i'm sick of being a ba fan)
![]()
You could cut the creepy inappropriate nickname.
Also agree with WarJay that there needs to be tighter regulations on what ends up on Playing With pages.
Do not mess with creatures which you do not understand.

We do
