The page outright states that it's for a fanzine for fetishists, so that points towards cut.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportAccording to the Porn with Plot entry, it seems to have developed a storyline later, which indicates that it's keepable. The top section has a pothole to I Read It for the Articles, which likewise supports the idea that it's more than pure porn.
Until further evidence rises, keep.

I despise hypocrisy, unless of course it is my own.Bumping to get this out of the stack of locked threads.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanChecking over the page it seems like it's Porn with Plot. I say keep.
Edit: Nvm, opinion changed.

Bumping to get it out of the stack of locked threads.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman- Chico (Man) is horny to his former classmate Deion (angel girl), but his girlfriend Rhoda (demon girl) is super horny for him. When the three meet, he finally ditches Rhoda, and she swears vengeance. Next time they meet, she infects him with incubus virus that makes his ballsack supernatural and now Deion walks with stomach larger than herself, but the two don't really mind. She lays eggs, but it doesn't seem they have babies, so it doesn't stop their sex life. Deion's brother Rogiel comes over and while they talk alone, impregnates her, but is chased off by a passing demon hunter. Rhoda kidnaps Chico and reveals she's in cahoots with Rogiel to make hybrid babies, it didn't work out with him, but Chico has potential, so she rapes him. She then captures an unnamed angel and bounded makes Chico impregnate her. Deion barges in, saves his bf, and breaks up with his for his safety and to give birth. (Not mentioned: countless porn scenes inserted all over)
- Chico doesn't have a gf and is also half-incubus, so he impregnates prostitutes. Chico's cousin Anita comes over and wonders if she's dummy fat or pregnant. Deion returns with Chico's normal baby, who's explained to be a powerful seraphim. Anita's bf turns out to be Rogiel, and she's about to give birth to monster army, and Rhoda also decides to join. Deion barges in and rescues Anita. Deion decides to kill the villains later, but her magic sword's power... is proportional to her stomach size, so she prepares accordingly. She pokes a demon mook with it, and he explodes. What happens later is unknown because no more is available, and the trope page implies it got cancelled.
- Demonseed Tales was mentioned as an also pornographic spin-off, but aside the cover for the 4th issue I've found literally no info on it.
- Demonseed Redux! is a loose remake that drops the porn (still has nudity) and doubles on exposition, giving everyone backstory, elaborating on war and instead of Deion being stupid pregnant right away she's treated like a ticking bomb and not happy. Rogiel is replaced by a background mastermind Galadriel. Also featuring a bunch of side-characters and along the way demon mooks to be killed and breeding slaves to save. The villain gets rid of Rhoda and reveals Chico to be his crossbreed child, and he can undo what Deion is going through if Chico ditches his demon hunter party. What's next doesn't appear to be available online. There were no on-screen sex or genitals.
- Demonseed is pure porn with a gimmick and only has minimal background backstory.
- Demonseed Tales seem to have gone from the face of the internet, though the trope page notes it's just as bad.
- Demonseed Redux! doesn't have explicit scenes or fetish aspect, and has proper story. The trope page has a note that the author now considers this one the definite version.
I think we can keep Demonseed Redux! if we forbid examples from the original version. Though I note Demonseed has no wicks and is almost entirely ZCE field. Even if it's tropeworthy, the page may not be in a healthy state to stay.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupIn that case, cut all except Demonseed Redux
Keep to Demonseed Redux and cut the rest.

Do it.
I despise hypocrisy, unless of course it is my own.Redux away
Redux version is a keep.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportLooks like we have a consensus to declare this "Bleached Underpants only". I'll do the record-keeping but someone will need to clean the page up.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanBumping to get it out of the stack of locked threads.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanBump again.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanUh I guess the first step is moving the page to Demonseed Redux!
Can't do it myself as I'm on mobile.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."~Amonimus, since you did review this work, do you have an idea which examples can stay and which can go?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI've commented out the ZCE, which actually doesn't leave much.
The rest would require going through the second time to check (the link in the description goes to the Redux's reader page, though it is at Web Archive).
I'll give it another read "soon" to get this out of the way.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupI've finished re-reading and have troped it thoroughly at Sandbox.Demonseed Redux. How's it looking?
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupSeems OK to me. As with the other work where we are trying to repurpose, I think here too we should cut the current pages, launch the sandbox and crosswick it.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanLets Launch.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Launched at Demonseed Redux, Sandbox.Demonseed Redux cutlisted, turned Webcomic.Demonseed into redirect (can be cut and PRLC instead), am mid-crosswicking.
