How "LEWD" is one's profile allowed to be?

This might be a good topic to continue internally.

The preferred rule against nudity and pornography is to keep it vague, and employ that "I know it when I see it" argument for when something crosses the line.

Allow me to provide another perspective.

I want you guys on this site to be safe from legal trouble, and if we start introducing specific criteria without a catch-all, it'll bring us closer to having to be compliant with specific laws about site content. For example, we don't want to have to add a "Are you 18 or older?" popup when entering the site. And when it comes to laws, it makes sense to go by the legal guidelines for nudity.

There's nudity as a concept and then legal nudity. If we specifically say "yeah no nipples or vaginas on female art is fine", someone could post 100% naked art but with convenient censoring and that would be a loophole. That's not going to fly -- the intent is what's important, and making sure we're safe from legal matters is also important.

It's not about judging others for "lewd" content, it's to make sure we don't have to stress out about legal stuff. I don't care if you are into hardcore stuff, as long as it's not being dumped here.
