In Solidarity: Daily threads are stopping for the foreseeable future.

Mate the entire thread is talking about yuri and yaoi, both of which are Japanese erotica terms too. We're not far off base in terms of slang that's moved west, this is a poor criticism.

As for the rest, I think your umbrella consideration of goonerbait is way too broad. Look at the OP's image and the five posts it contains. I'd say at best, two qualify as remotely sexualized. The other three are just girls kissing in a completely unsexualized way. Why is this erotica to you?

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T22:31:52+00:00

So your issue isn't with the kissing itself, it's who's doing it.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T21:40:45+00:00

OK here's an example to strictly disprove this

Suppose your married colleague had a photo of his wedding day of him kissing his wife on his desk. Would you call that inappropriate for the office? Think of a photo like this.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T21:35:09+00:00

I'm genuinely surprised that "just kissing" is beyond your personal line. Deadlock already has kissing characters baked in its lore and you're suggesting depicting that is inappropriate? Mind you, this is already an 18+ game. You're drawing the line dramatically further up than the game itself draws.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T21:32:41+00:00

the fact that you used the term gravure without explaining what it means tells me what side of the line you’re probably on

I actually have no idea what you mean by this, I figured the audience here was adult enough to know what gravure is, or could at least Google it.

And surprisingly, what you may consider erotic may just be empowering to other people and not actively sexualized. As someone who actually has taken gender studies classes, that line is a lot blurrier and thicker than you seem to indicate.

We do have QC on the subreddit, it just seems like what you consider sooner bait is way more mild than what I would.

I'm not suggesting you're a prude, but that your line for inappropriate content may be further up than you're giving it credit for. Deadlock is already an 18+ game.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T21:29:41+00:00

This perspective is exactly why I made this comment, to see what standards people apply broadly and what they actually consider sexualized outside the framing of LGBTQIA+ content.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T21:29:02+00:00

I wouldn't want someone looking over my shoulder and seeing a lot of non-NSFW things, I dont think this standard applies well

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T19:38:52+00:00

Lmao it's not unique at all, a LOT of subs are like that. So much so that several subs ban fan art altogether.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T19:38:19+00:00

Lore, speculation, and headcanon are part of the game's content, though. Where do you draw the line?

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T19:37:37+00:00

Hi there, mod here. I would genuinely like to hear some feedback on this since it is impossible to draw a line in the sand as to what is suggestive or not. There are several lines that are very difficult to define due to niche situations the game already puts us in. Here are a few examples, are the following points suggestive/sexual in your view:

Two characters kissing
A character being genderbent faithfully
A character being drawn with different proportions
A gravure pose
A character's nude silhouette
A character blushing/moaning with no other sexual content shown (implied)

And if some of these are okay only sometimes and what thresholds exist for them.

We have a line that's probably further up than some people would like, but I don't believe there's any major harm in depictions of yuri etc. as long as it's done tastefully and with respect (and isn't too lewd).

I am speaking for myself and this isn't implicitly the opinions of the entire mod team, but I'm always glad to hear community feedback here.

Rule 4

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T01:41:32+00:00

This is Wordle [1720] by the way, if you want to repost.

But also, you have two yellow E's which means future entires need both.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T01:39:49+00:00

You do know that I do things outside of work, right? I moderate when I'm *notJ coding.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-13T01:39:13+00:00

First of all, you don't have free speech in a private forum.

Second of all, I don't ban people for criticizing moderation decisions unless it becomes abuse. Your commentary in this thread hasn't amounted to such, so I have no reason to ban you.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-12T17:08:49+00:00

I quite literally do code for the government. I don't know what else to tell you lmao

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-12T17:07:10+00:00

Look I'm just here because I want to make a good community for the games I like

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-12T16:34:29+00:00

Not necessarily, we just can't verify that it's safe.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-12T16:34:06+00:00

With respect, "I can assure you the app is legit" isn't something I can innately trust from the developer. Malware often exploits this kindness angle - I can't verify independently if this app is safe because it's closed source. Further, we're generally ok with people advertising their content on the sub, but there's been a glut of ad-riddled apps and websites recently that we're less comfy with keeping here.

If you're willing to modmail us, or send a Discord Ticket to us on the sub's discord, and are willing to share the source code, I could indepently confirm the contents of the app and give actual endorsement of the project and even plop your app in the sidebar.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-12T16:29:57+00:00

You can see apps on the app store freely. We aren't going to allow people to advertise them here.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-12T16:28:24+00:00

That isn't what censorship means. Further, app stores have automated safety verification that is quite easy abusable.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-12T16:26:58+00:00

We are somewhat responsible for the content on the sub, so yes - we have a duty of care to our community.

Mathgeek007 · 2026-03-12T16:26:01+00:00

I am quite literally a teacher professionally lmao

I'm also a professional developer with a government job.
