Iâve copied over the base descriptions from derpi for those tags, sans examples; I can find some later, but if anyone already has some good (safe) ones in mind, please do show.
The basics of this in relation to rule #5 is that the laws on âunderage pornographyâ in some countries the site (via several parts of our infrastructure and key staff) are in are (likely intentionally) very vague. Laws use wording like âimages that appear to show an underage person in sexual scenariosâ and then some paragraphs further down âobscene imagery is not limited to photographs but can include fictional representations of underage personsâ. Basically the laws were made to be so vague that drawn lolicon could get flagged as actual CP, and while it would be exceptional for a prosecutor or judge to actually bother, itâs high risk enough for companies to just terminate services outright over to save themselves the risk.
Now, youâre probably thinking, and this is a sane thing to think, âSweetie Belle canât ever possibly be confused for a representation of a real person, sheâs a unicorn, she has a horn! And look, I made her unguligrade anthro, no human has hooves for feet!â. Unfortunately people will (and have) just drawn straight up âyep, thatâs definitely a human childâ lolicon, and slapped a tiny horn on the forehead, or floating wings, made the skin colour a bit different. And for the hooves? Well, they just donât draw the toes separately, like a sock but make sure the âtoesâ are bent, and call it âunguligrade anthroâ.
Iâd like to say these are just hypotheticals, but derpi went through this phase, with loli/shota artists trying to skirt the âno human loliâ rules but just changing the most minor things possible to call it âanthroâ. The end result was just to set it so âfoalconâ was so obviously not involving humans at all as to be âsafeâ by virtue of being pony/feral only.
