Warning
This page includes descriptions of gore and example images hidden under a spoiler tag.Gore
This refers to any sort of violence or physical trauma to the body.
Notice: Art examples are still being developed and will be added over time.
Blood
Small amounts of blood, like a nose bleed, scraped knees or blood drop to show a character’s blood color is okay without a mask. Large amounts of gore, like deep cuts and wounds need a moderate gore filter.
Spoiler:
"Fake" Gore
Candy gore, flower gore, sparkle gore, robotic gore, and any sort of non-realistic blood needs to be filtered. Small amounts of gore to show a character's blood is okay without a filter. Fake gore needs a moderate or extreme filter depending on the intensity of the representation to real gore/organs.
Bruising
Small bruises, such as a black eye or a bumped knee are fine without a filter. However, extreme bruising (large or multiple bruises) should be under a moderate gore filter
Spoiler:
Open Wounds
Small cuts are okay to be posted without a filter. Large wounds need to be under a moderate gore filter, as well as any infected wounds. Healed scars are fine without a filter, however healed scars with self harm inflicted wounds need the sensitive content filter.
Flayed/Missing Skin
Visible muscles/tissue and torn skin need to be filtered. If there is no detail beneath the missing skin (ie, just a color), this uses the moderate gore filter. Detailed tissue and muscle needs an extreme filter.
Spilling Guts
Any sort of organs or innards (cartoonish or otherwise) outside of the body need an extreme gore filter.
Eye or Nail Trauma
Nail and eye trauma, like extremely injured eyes and ripped off nails, need an extreme gore filter.
Missing Limbs
Simplified or cartoonish bone stumps with a single color are fine without a mask. Those that show moderate detail should be under a moderate gore filter. Detailed musculature requires an extreme gore filter. Healed amputations are fine with no filter
