《★ NSFW / Sexual Content ★》

Any form of content that isn't suitable for a PG 13 audience is prohibited, as per Kyodo Guidelines. There are minors within this app, being openly inappropriate will generally be a ban for the safety of our users.

➥ The usage of slurs in public is NOT allowed. Saying them in dms are okay so long as you can reclaim them, it’s not used negatively, and the person you’re communicating with hasn’t expressed discomfort. If you can’t reclaim, use it negatively, or continue saying it even after the person has asked you not to / expressed discomfort, you WILL be banned.

➥ We DO NOT allow ERP/smut/dirty RP or any form of sexual roleplaying whatsoever. Asking for, or alluding towards it is an instant ban. This is your only warning.

➥ Use of inappropriate terms (dom/sub, BDSM, futa, third leg, ecchi/hentai, omegaverse, etc. we know it when we see it.) will lead to a ban.

➥ Kinks and fetishes will be a ban.

➥ Sexualizing race, gender, disorders, etc. will be a ban.

➥ Adults asking minors to RP romance will lead to a ban

➥ Do not use art from NSFW artists, it may lead to your profile being hidden.

➥ Please refrain from using 18+ as an age range, as it can be confused with ERP/NSFW RP. If we suspect it's for ERP, you will be banned.

➥ Profiles featuring characters involved in SA / abuse / r*pe:

If the character is a developed one with specific traits beyond these acts, the team will warn and hide the profile.

For characters whose sole purpose is to embody such acts, it will result in an immediate ban.

Using a pedophile character as a profile picture will result in an instant ban, no exceptions.
