I'm concerned about how enforcable this would be. There are tens of thousands of fictional characters and 90% of underaged anime characters have the same look as any adult character.
I don't know anime all too well, so I typically go by a rule of removing posts if their age looks questionable, and banning users if it's full on creepo stuff. Should I be expected to do more than that? Looking up characters for every single post is not going to be feasible, especially on the larger communities and on communities with small mod teams.
I am too, which is why I've put up posts looking for people to take over my hentai communities. Looking up characters is not practical. I went through !hentai to test it out. Ended up reporting about 1 in every 5 posts. Unfortunately, unless the rules change, which I doubt they will, I think running a hentai community on here has just become intractable unless you have like 4 or 5 people dedicated to each individual community.
Yeesh... I suppose I'll just keep doing my best and see how it goes! Reports and comments from subscribers will hopefully help narrow things down, but I don't see this rule being 100% enforced in any community.
I hope the hentai communities don't get slapped too hard and forced to move to less strict instances. That would be sad, I really love this place, and the rule (in theory) is awesome too! ❤
@FreezingInFuckingHell@lemmynsfw.com @RestfulD34m0N@lemmynsfw.com I really don’t know hentai stuff. Can you handle this?
A looot of Pokemon characters, especially the main player characters would probably be a good start for compiling a list together.
TBH, a blanket ban on Pokémon characters is most likely prudent for any hentai community given the new rules. I'll be doing that on my communities most likely.
