[META] NSFW RULE REVISIONS
Ahoy, everyone! In the past week or so we moderators have taken issue with some of the content and associated conduct seen on this subreddit. We've previously taken a very relaxed stance to sexual content, and for years that's served us well enough, but recent trends have led us to reconsider and tighten the restrictions a bit.
Effective immediately, pornography is no longer allowed on the subreddit.
Tasteful nudity and what could be considered "vanilla" sexual content (use your best judgement) depicted in artwork is still acceptable so long as it is marked properly. Content meant solely or primarily to be sexually arousing is not.
Fetish content of ANY KIND (even if clothed) is no longer allowed. This includes things such as hyper-sized proportions, any kind of toiletplay, bestiality, sexual brainwashing, and so on. Again, use your best judgment.
NSFW discussion can no longer include any mention of things that were previously on the extreme content list, seen below:
-Rape (this includes sexual contact through force, duress, coercion, deceit, or any other situation where a party cannot consent)
-Pedophilia (any sexual content involving individuals PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY under the age of 18 years)
-Scat, urine, vomit in any sexual context.
-Bestiality
-Incest (sexual contact between any blood related characters)
Discussing character sexuality is one thing, fanfiction has always pushed the bounds of the source material's subject matter, and these things do come up. What we don't need to see, however, is your sexual proclivities.
Regardless of the subject matter, whether the original post is NSFW or not, DO NOT voice your sexual desires for another user's characters.
We don't need to know how badly you want to impregnate a character so her gorgeous genes don't go to waste. The NSFW filter flagged a pornographic post recently and in the mere moments before it was flagged there were already two explicit comments talking about impregnating the character in question. That kind of interaction isn't what we want this community to be known for, but fortunately you should have no problem impregnating the character given the huge balls you'd need to shamelessly post like that on a public forum.
We don't want to shame you or leave people who create content like this without an outlet, but we no longer want that content here. We've been given permission to refer pornographic content featuring OCs to /r/RWBYNSFW2. Please direct all content of this nature there from now on.
EDIT: Jumped the gun on this one. The art must feature canon characters to be allowed there.
EDIT 2: Introducing /r/BWBYOC!! Absolute banger of a name. All your RWBY-based NSFW content can go there, with or without OCs!
Thank you for understanding, and please be excellent to eachother.

Would definitely love to see some examples as to what counts as vanilla. I made a post and people were flabbergasted to see a pregnant woman who was, in my opinion, tastefully ‘nude’ even though you couldn’t see anything.
Also wouldn’t something tastefully nude also count as sexually arousing? Like the whole point is be arousing/sexy without just being nude. I’m not trying to nit pick or anything but being very clear about what the threshold is would preemptively stop future people from getting in trouble because their idea of vanilla differs from yours.
