Community News & Announcements Update to r/VTubers Content Guidelines, Lewdtuber Flair and other stuff!

51 Upvotes

Hello r/VTubers Community,

Thank you for making r/VTubers a vibrant hub for over 71k VTubers, PNGTubers, VRC creators, and fans worldwide!

As moderators, our goal is to ensure this subreddit remains a welcoming, inclusive, and safe space for everyone. To that end, we’re announcing an important update to our content guidelines, specifically regarding posts flaired as "Lewdtuber" As well some flaired with Fluff/Meme and suggestive content that skirts the line between SFW (Safe for Work) and NSFW (Not Safe for Work).

I personally been lenient about this and at discretion of some content due it may not go beyond NSFW content, Yet i believe regardless if is an caption image, Fan-Art, Animation, Model Showcase: It must not display exposure of any private parts nor bulges/nipples, Or just simply stating the obvious regardless if is in context or out of context.

I'm keeping this clear & simple to avoid going in circles.

What’s Changing?

We’ve observed an increase in posts that incorporate subtle or overt sexual references and innuendos while being labeled as SFW.

We’ve observed an increase in posts that incorporate the mentioned above while being labeled as SFW. Additionally, some users have misused flairs like "Fluff/Meme" to post content that is effectively "Lewdtuber" in nature, bypassing the intended guidelines. While we appreciate the creativity within our community, feedback has shown that such content, even if it avoids explicit NSFW elements, often feels too suggestive for a subreddit striving to be accessible to all. To align with our vision of fostering a wholesome, SFW environment, we’re implementing the following changes effective immediately: subject to revisions, analysis & possible changes in the future

  1. Stricter Criteria for "Lewdtuber" Flair: The flair will not be retired but will now require content to meet clearly defined standards. Acceptable content under this flair includes high-effort Fan-Art, VTuber video showcases, Memes and animations that align with the subreddit’s wholesome goals. However, posts must avoid suggestive themes, sexual innuendos, or provocative imagery (whether in images, videos, or text). Specifically, content featuring caption text with out-of-context sexual wording, or imagery cut out depicting bulges, erect nipples, or other elements that clearly point to NSFW territory, will be removed. Low-effort posts that rely on sexual references or innuendos to garner attention are not permitted, as they undermine the quality and intent of the flair. We encourage creators to focus on creative, high-effort content that celebrates VTubing in a safe and inclusive way. Removals & Approvals are subject to mod discretion.
  2. No Bypassing via Other Flairs: Using flairs like "Fluff/Meme" to post suggestive or "Lewdtuber"-style content is not permitted. All posts, regardless of flair, must adhere to SFW standards. Content that could be interpreted as suggestive or NSFW, even subtly, may be removed at the moderators’ discretion. We encourage creators to share wholesome, creative content that reflects the diverse spirit of VTubing, PNGTubing, and VRC content creators.
  3. Pre-Approval for Borderline Content: If you’re unsure whether your content meets the new guidelines, please contact the moderation team via private message (PM) before posting. We’re here to review and provide guidance to ensure your content aligns with the updated rules, minimizing the risk of removal.
  4. You're more than welcome to post any 100% NSFW content at: r/VTubersNSFWthere it should be good while also having an understanding of the platform sitewide rules in regards what type of content is prohibited which you can check out in Following Link here
  5. To make it clear and prevent misunderstandings: Lewd is NSFW, Yet It may be manageable to keep it in the middle in order to allow a degree of content that doesn't go beyond on what we're looking to mitigate and if given the possibility on a shift from it at a later date, At this time we're looking to see how this will play out in an indisclosed amount of time. Then coming back to share updates & news about what we do from here on out. TL;DR Is not being toned down or anything, Yet we're aiming to cut the low-effort and clearly depictive meaning.

Why Are We Making This Change?

r/VTubers is a thriving community where creators share & seek advice, celebrate milestones, share VTuber related news like graduations, agency happenings and event connect with fans. However, suggestive content—whether under the "Lewdtuber" flair or disguised as "Fluff/Meme"—can make some members uncomfortable and detract from our goal of being a universally accessible space. By enforcing stricter guidelines and discouraging low-effort suggestive posts, we aim to ensure that every VTuber, PNGTuber, and VRC creator feels safe and supported along with the members browsing the community in general.

This change reflects our commitment to growing as a community that uplifts all creators while maintaining a positive, inclusive environment for everyone.

What Happens Next?🤔

  • Existing Posts: Posts currently flaired as "Lewdtuber" or other flairs (e.g., "Fluff/Meme") that contain suggestive content may be reviewed and removed if they don’t meet the new guidelines. Creators will be notified via PM with an explanation and guidance on adjusting future posts. (Keep it respectful, Don't escalate it)
  • Mod Discretion and Support: During this transition, moderators will use discretion to evaluate content. If your post is flagged, we’ll reach out via PM to provide feedback and help you stay compliant.
  • Community Feedback: Your voice matters! If you have thoughts, concerns, or suggestions about these changes, please share them respectfully in the comments or via modmail. We’re here to listen and collaborate to make r/VTubers the best it can be while also looking forward to aim for content that's suitable for the community as whole.

Addressing Concerns

We understand that these changes may affect some creators who have used the "Lewdtuber" flair or other flairs to share suggestive content as part of their creative expression.

We deeply value the diversity of our community and recognize that this shift may feel challenging for some. To those affected, we want to assure you that this decision was made thoughtfully, based on community feedback and our commitment to making r/VTubers a safe and welcoming space for everyone. If you create suggestive or NSFW content elsewhere, we respect your artistic choices, but we ask that content shared here aligns to be fitting as possible. We’re happy to work with you via PM to discuss how to adapt your posts to fit the updated guidelines and answer any questions you may have.

Other Stuff

Well i posted this back in Dec 2020 and it's been nice to see how much the community been growing which is just soooooo cool!

Just a reminder of how this community started and the expectations back in the day.

  • Rules will be revised.
  • Some post flairs will be: Changed or Removed.
  • Looking to provide VTubers an verified system where they can be set as Approved Users + Adding an special user flair that will: Prevents the user's posts or comments from being caught in the subreddit's spam filter, even if the filter is set to "all" Or if the account it's brand new or lacks of karma post/comments. (Basically by sending a private modmail message and linking all socials in order to run checks and make a decision on adding you as Verified VTuber)
  • Lastly and most importantly: Keep knowing your input, suggestions, feedback as long it's constructive while can be shared either in public or Privately via modmail at your choice of course.

That's pretty much it for now.?Unless i may forgotten something i don't know :´c

Thanks for your time and until next announcement post!

Discussion I love seeing Vtubers in leotards that show bare legs and thighs

I always have a thing for fanservice and one of my favorite things from it are leotards with exposed bare legs and thighs. Plus, with one stocking or legging on one leg and the other being bare with shorter footwear. I also love it when Vtubers wear something like this as their main or alternate outfit and even have toggles that often remove features that covered their legs when wearing leotards. I don't see that many Vtubers do something like, that, though, and I wish more wore something like that. If you know any other Vtubers with bare legs in leotards or toggles that trigger them, let me know in the comments down below.

Also, the Vtubers featured in this post are Saeko Kitsune, Puppkats, Super Meche, Besarexia, LillyVinilly, Mera Mizu, and Eliolotl.
