Content Guidelines: Violence and Gore

Extreme violence, body horror, cannibalism, and necrophilia guidelines

Gore and extreme violence content requires careful consideration of both written descriptions and visual elements. Such content is permitted in fictional contexts with proper warnings but faces restrictions on visual depictions.

All gore and extreme violence content must include the #Dead Dove tag and clear content warnings. Written content may explore these themes when they serve narrative purposes, but visual depictions face strict limitations. Real-life images of injury or gore are prohibited, and fictional depictions are limited to healed scars, healed limb loss, and non-graphic fantastical injuries like zombification.

Body horror follows similar guidelines, permitting fictional written content with warnings while prohibiting real-life visual depictions entirely. Fictional images showing harmful contortions or breaks that would realistically cause injury are also prohibited.

Necrophilia with unanimated corpses is completely prohibited. However, content involving animated corpses (zombies, undead characters) is permitted when the undead character retains the intellectual capacity to consent.

Cannibalism as part of a bot scenario is allowed under certain contexts. Horror or crime scenarios involving cannibals are permitted, and fantasy settings may portray the eating of humans. However, content glorifying real cannibalism is prohibited, as well as fetishized cannibalistic content like hard vore. Soft vore, where someone is swallowed whole without harm, is allowed.
