Any critiques, desire for clarity, outright hatred, whatever have you. I will respond the best I can.
I know there’s been some blowback on some of the policy updates but it’s been difficult to really explain fully that the restrictive content policy is temporary, this community was very unmanaged for a time and it had to be reigned in somehow and with the limited tools at disposal the temporary policy changes were made.
Here’s a comment that also explains a little bit behind the decisions made recently as well.
For community mods, we have a community mod coord matrix group chat now. Feel free to DM about it.
Also, there’s another ongoing discussion regarding SFW communities on lemmyNSFW here.
What parts of the image suggest that it’s consensual?
Here’s what I see:
Regarding the first point, as I said, I don’t know the character, so I can’t comment on that. If she’s underage, then yes, that’s absolutely against the rules.
Regarding the second point, the tears don’t look like she’s been crying. They just look like they’re from physical strain. There’s nothing in her expression that suggests any sort of displeasure.
Regarding the rest of the points, all of that can easily be consensual. Not even CNC, but just flat-out explicitly consensual. It’s absurd to think that a penthouse somehow implies non-consent.
BDSM isn’t non-con. Bruises and tears can happen between consenting adults. If she’s not an adult, then that’s a problem, but I see nothing suggesting a lack of consent.
She’s an 18-year-old high school student in a wholesome/lighthearted/romcom high school anime.
I agree with your latter points with ordinary adults who are strangers. However, we know a lot about Hayasaka’s character and personality from the anime. If it’s a stranger getting whipped and clitoris piercings, I wouldn’t say anything. But if it’s a family member or a friend, you already know a lot about them, and that context makes a crucial difference.
If this was a picture of your mom, would you first thought be that this is consensual or she was kidnapped/abused/raped? With a stranger, you have no clue. But if you know the person, that changes a lot.
But it’s not. It’s a fictional character.
Honestly, whatever kinky rough stuff my mom might be into is her own business. That’s not really something I need to worry about.
Honestly, I’m just baffled. With the way everyone has responded here, basically none of the artwork typically posted at rapehentai (which was banned here) would qualify as rape.
There’s always the excuse that “oh the victim consented to being shoved into the trashcan beforehand”.
The artist of this work (sabu) posts lots of artwork that are set inside a fictional universe where slavery is legal. The “slaves” in this artist’s works are intended to be portrayed as real slaves.
You make some good points above, but I would recommend making an account on FetLife and seeing how wild people can get consensually.
I can without a doubt tell you that the following has been consensually performed with partners, and in all cases because they desired it, not myself.
-Impact play - to the point of causing visible bruising.
-Rope play - this can range from the artistic to the painful. Type of rope, and acts performed while tied can vary greatly including chains between nipples and clit.
-Needle play - ok, this one I couldn’t do, but the partner did this one to themselves. Piercing nipples and clit with surgical grade needles.
-Whipping - the thing with whips is they can actually look a lot worse than they feel, but you can go the other way as well and cause pain.
Tears will absolutely happen in many of these cases, and it is something they want. Consent is a tricky thing to derive from a photo, but I would not say any of the items listed above imply consent or not.
All that said, your point that the character is highschool student I would say is valid, provided she is underage.
The wealthy/older man comment I’m not understanding…
