Common Phobias

(Refers to elements of character designs that may trigger certain common phobias not specifically related to gore or body horror require this filter.)

6 or more eyes with the exception of real life species with more eyes than that (e.g, spiders).

Sensitive Topics

(Refers to other, unspecified topics which are controversial or otherwise uncomfortable.)

Mentions of physical, mental, or sexual abuse fall into this category for filtering. Staff may remove characters, attacks, or other content that holds extreme cases of this category. Additionally, hateful symbols are not allowed onsite at all, even with a filter.

Depictions of dead animals or characters need to be filtered, even if there is no gore present. Undead creatures like zombies and skeletons are exempt from this rule.

Cultural appropriation

Participating in and depicting cultures other than your own can be very fun and a great learning experience, but please make sure you represent the cultures respectfully in your depictions! Consider doing research before drawing and designing characters in order to avoid misrepresentation or caricatures. If you have a friend from said culture it can be good to ask them after doing your own research. Any blatantly disrespectful depictions of cultures, especially minority cultures, are not allowed on Art Fight, and could be removed at moderator discretion.
