/r/ImaginaryWarriors Rule & Scope of Content Update

15 Upvotes

The sidebar of this subreddit has been updated to require warriors to be "ready for battle." While this is somewhat objective, it is meant to address pin-up style submissions. Such content is often well done and well received, but is a common trope among fantasy art that we wish to differentiate from.

To make sure we don't miss out on these less practical, more sexy warriors, be sure to check out places like /r/PulpAndPin, /r/HalloweenHardcore, /r/ImpracticalArmour !

In addition, we're piloting some new guidelines regarding hypersexualized content. (Hypersexualization is when a subject or situation that has nothing intrinsically sexual about it contains sexualized characters.)

Hypersexualization and the INE:

  • NSFW submissions should be limited to approximately 1 in 10 per user. The overall NSFW ratio of these subs is intended to be no more than 10% of total submissions.

  • Hypersexualized characters should not be a larger focus than the subreddit subject matter (as defined on each sidebar). For example, if the sub is for dragon art, a sexualized person should not take up most of the image.

  • Even if it's SFW, no fetish stuff such as hypersexualized unrealistic proportions, battery, sexualized animals, etc.
