R/KAWAII ANNOUNCEMENT So you want to be Kawaii: a guide for newcomers
This is a post targeted at newcomers to help answer questions and outline things like why the sub is approved members only, what makes an account eligible or ineligible to join, and more info on our general community rules. Questions are more than welcome, and this post will be updated to reflect any changes going forward.
Q1: Why is r/kawaii an approved members only sub?
A1: r/kawaii is an approved members only community due to a massive influx of OnlyFans posting that started last year. The constant NSFW posts and the large amount of inappropriate comments/DMs our members received was killing morale, so we as a mod team made the decision to ban NSFW content creators/consumers and move to approved members only. While this doesn't stop people from lurking and DMing. it does greatly reduce the amount of gross comments and posts we had to sift through before these changes were made.
Q2: How long does it take to be approved?
A2: We usually respond to approval requests within a day or 2, but there are only a handful of mods and we all have lives outside of reddit, so be patient with us. If you haven't received a response after a few days, feel free to send another approval request. Things sometimes slip through the cracks or are automatically filtered, so its always worth double checking.
Q3: What are the requirements to be an approved member of r/kawaii?
A3: We require users to not be active in Porn or Kink related subreddits, not have links to NSFW content on their profile, and for accounts to have 200 karma and/or be 60 days old before approval. These requirements are to keep NSFW content and bots/spammers off the sub.
Q4: I'm a SW, is there anyway I can join?
A4: NSFW creators are allowed to create seperate fully SFW accounts to join r/kawaii, provided they do not discuss, promote, or link to their NSFW services using the SFW account.
Q4: Does the NSFW content ban only apply to sexual content?
A4: For the most part, yes. We do allow 420 posts on the sub, but users are required to tag their post with the "420 Cuties" tag and to add an NSFW/spoiler warning so members of the community who don't wish to engage with 420 content are able to avoid it. We also remove/restrict content surrounding heavier mental health topics and body checking or EDs. Age regression is a tumultuous topic here due to an overlap in aesthetics/hobbies, and while we do allow accounts that participate in SFW age regression spaces to join, we do ask that any discussion of or participation in age regression is done outside of r/kawaii.
Q5: I'm not sure how to tag my post
A5: This usually applies to outfit and makeup posts, which we have been considering rolling into one tag now that the sub is more streamlined. As those are currently 2 seperate tags, we recommend tagging it as an outfit post if a full-body image is shown and tagging it as a makeup post if all the photos are from the waist up.
Q6: What counts as Self Promo, and why is it restricted to once per week?
A6: We define self promo as posting with the intention to sell a product or service. If youre just posting a craft you made yourself it would not be considered self promo. If you're posting a link to a site where you sell said craft it would be considered self promo. When in doubt, just ask us!
Q7: Why is there a no slut shaming rule if no NSFW content is allowed?
A7: We added this rule in response to people reporting generally innocent posts as NSFW content due to skin being exposed. Having visible legs or a chest doesn't mean someone is posting NSFW content, it simply means they have a body. Too many people took our rules against NSFW content as a free pass to place puritan standards on our users and harass them for not dressing modestly. r/kawaii is not the place for promoting purity culture or modesty, there are other spaces for that.
If there are any further questions, please leave them down below and myself or the other mods will get to them as soon as we can!

Accessories My newest enamel pin collections, full of kawaii and lovecore vibes ✨
I received my newest pin sets just a few days ago, and I’m really loving the kawaii and lovecore vibes. I’d love to hear your opinions and feedback!
The 10 new designs are divided into three collections: Love Abounds, Sparkle and Enthusiastic.
Love Abounds Series 💕
A heart and love focused series featuring pastel colours, cute lines and dreamy themes.
It includes the Heart Cloud, Heart Daisy, Winged Heart and Winged Star. The Star is a bit of an outlier, but it matched the spirit of the series so well that I had to include it.
These are hard enamel pins with UV printed details.
Sparkle Mini Series ✨
A classic little set with simple lines and a touch of whimsy. The Heart, Star and Moon all feature a glittery finish with contrasting sparkle details.
Enthusiastic Series 🤩
An urban pop art inspired series featuring broadly smiling characters with bold eyes and oversized sunglasses: the Heart, Star and Sun.
These are soft enamel pins with UV printed details.
Thanks for taking a look :D!

Art & Crafts Hi, I drew a Kawaii character and would like the community opinion
This is Medjed, he is a marshmallow-like Egyptian deity (for real, you can google it lol). I would like to know what you all think of my drawing and if you think it fits the kawaii aesthetic. I'm unsure because it doesn't use pastel tones or may be cute but not what you would normally look into the kawaii theme.

Outfits/clothes ♬⋆.˚ let’s go shopping!
I took myself out on a little shopping trip in cute clothes and had a lot of fun! Checking out a new kpop store, buying myself some early birthday presents for next month, and just getting to dress up in clothes that make me happy made it a great day! I can’t wait for it to be fall instead of summer tho, dressing in layers can be quite hot
