The flag here for BountifulBoobs was sent with the rationale

I would like to get a second opinion from P5 if this counts as porn or not.

  • Arguments for porn: The title, the characters are highschoolers, the plot is mostly an excuse to talk about breasts, yuri.

  • Arguments for not porn: No nudity.

Having read it, I can say confidently that it's not porn. It's just a sweet yuri work that involves schoolgirls grabbing each other's breasts, and that happens all the time. Angel it.

[up] I'm not sure, because, I'm speaking as a woman, breasts tend to get heavily sexualalized, and this is a work where it seems that's one of the main points and it doesn't help that the constant groping is done by highschoolers. Are you sure the manga portrays this in a non-sexual way?

I didn't say it wasn't sexualized (the characters are definitely enjoying it and it's very linked to their romance), but it's definitely not porn, and given that it's high-schoolers, I'm not calling it either age-inappropriate or pedopandering.

While not explicit porn, it is heavy on the ecchi side with constant boob-based Fanservice thrown at you. The page image alone is a boob grope. This puts the work in a tricky position because, while it isn't technically violating any 5P guidelines (as far as I can tell at a glance anyway), it still makes safe-for-work editing difficult.

Also, I wouldn't chalk Yuri as a primary reason for content violations because it's a broad genre covering girl x girl relationships. Not all Yuri works are that heavily sexualized, and I'm speaking from experience as someone who has read tamer Yuri light novels.

Oh, it's definitely an ecchi one-shot. I'd easily call it NSFW. What I fail to see is how that qualifies it for removal. All of the tropes on-page are okay, it's not pornographic at all, it's not pedopandering.

If it's not violating P5 guidelines...then it's not violating P5 guidelines.

Aren't high schoolers minors? Sure, sexualizing high schoolers is usually considered not as bad as sexualizing per-pubescent children, but they're still minors and I have heard about people not liking them being sexaulized.

[up]It's probably worth investigating if the characters have confirmed ages. If under 18, then yeah... definitely sexualization of minors.

Well, sexualizing highschoolers is something that's very common in media, unfortunately. I don't think that's enough to get a work cut by itself. I think it depends on how it's portrayed on the work and the audience the work is targeted towards.

It might also depend on culture. Some areas have the age of consent at 16 or even younger.

Very ecchi but it's neither porn nor pedo-pandering so voting keep.

Keep. Seems fine for our rules as said by Ramidel whose read it.

Nothing about this seems any worse than any other high school ecchi work, and those generally get kept unless there's extenuating circumstances. Keep.

Looks like we have a consensus to keep, but narrowly. I'll do the record-keeping; closing in the meantime.
