A while back, the guidelines had “Genitals that are
almost visible or visible as
vague outlines through clothing”.
The second part was for cameltoe, while the first covered cases like these, where we could
almost see the pussy, but either there was a tiny little censor or the body itself blocked the view; in practice, I remember also considering anuses for almost visible, even though it wasn’t what the guidelines said, which usually meant bare asses were Questionable, even though in a way-previous update, when it was pointed out that a bare ass would become Suggestive, it wasn’t considered a problem (in general, buttcheeks alone aren’t considered as pornographic as nipples).
The problem with this clause was that to rate an ass, you had to go through this process:
1 Is there a genital or detailed anus showing? If yes, Explicit and done.
2 Is there a moderately-detailed anus showing? If yes, at least Questionable and skip to 9.
3 Is there a prominent non-detailed anus showing? If yes, at least Suggestive and skip to 8.
4 Are we seeing the genital/anus area, but completely bare? If yes, skip to 9.
5 Is this a show species or dog or something where we don’t expect genitals/anus if we could see there? If yes, skip to 9.
6 Is it more than half uncovered? If yes, at least Suggestive.
7 Is there only a “small” bit by a subjective measure preventing us seeing genitals/anus? If yes, at least Questionable.
8 Is there only a “small” bit by a subjective measure preventing us seeing genitals? If yes, at least Questionable.
9 Consider other matters.
7 and 8 are by far the most subjective parts, and worse, lead to Questionable in cases where you could have actually put a simple x or nothing being shown to get Suggestive instead (so a lower rating from showing
more between the cheeks)! A bit over a year ago, as part of an effort to
simplify the guidelines, the clause was pulled, so that there’s only Suggestive transition for lack of clothing at half, and then Questionable/Explicit get triggered by things actually being there or not.
With the clause removed, this is the process:
1 Is there a genital or detailed anus showing? If yes, Explicit and done.
2 Is there a moderately-detailed anus showing? If yes, at least Questionable and skip to 7.
3 Is there a prominent non-detailed anus showing? If yes, at least Suggestive and skip to 7.
4 Are we seeing the genital/anus area, but completely bare? If yes, skip to 7.
5 Is this a show species or dog or something where we don’t expect genitals/anus if we could see there? If yes, skip to 7.
6 Is it more than half uncovered? If yes, at least Suggestive.
7 Consider other matters.
I should further note that the 9-step process is actually so complicated, I’m pretty sure I’ve still got it incorrect due to interplay between the genital area and anus area (does a featureless crotch mean no anus? What about the reverse? These are questions we shouldn’t even really
have to answer, is the point).
Anyways, I’m fairly confident the first image is Suggestive, and less so on the second being Safe (Suggestive for it would be based on the expression alone; the towel is covering up everything).
