Body Horror

Body Horror refers to unnatural additions or distortions of the body that is commonly unsettling.
Warning: This page includes descriptions and depictions of body horror with examples hidden under a spoiler tag.


Parasites on a character

Character features that are visually replaced with parasites, or parasites that are visibly attached to the body, must be filtered.



Features in Unusual Places


Features in unusual places (like a mouth on a character's belly) need to be filtered. The exception to this rule is features placed on a character’s appendages (such as hair, tails, etc.). Characters with 5 eyes or less on the head does not need a body horror filter. Characters with more than 6 eyes on their body will need a Body Horror and Sensitive Content filter for trypophobia.




Hyper Realism


Characters that have out of place hyper realistic parts (such as eyes, mouths, etc) need to be filtered.



Distortion

Characters that appear squashed, stretched or contorted in an unsettling manner, need to be filtered.
