Shit like skirts, underwear, and bikinis are just clothing. Clothing itself isn't inherently sexual. It's the context and the intent behind how it's portrayed that matters. If platforms like MAL started banning characters just for wearing common items of clothing because someone might view them as sexual, you'd end up with a ban on almost everything. People can sexualize any shit, even something as mundane as shoes. The problem isn’t the clothing, if one views the things you listed as sexual content that is more of how that individual User view those things more than anything else.

More to the point when it comes to fictional characters, underaged is subjective. Unless someone is posting actual real life people, MAL doesn't restrict fictional depictions of characters unless they are graphically nude or some shit like that.

MAL allows users to use avatars of fictional characters, including those who commonly appear underage, as long as the image isn’t overtly sexualized or breaking their content guidelines. Where this type of thing would be subjective in itself, judged by the moderators I would guess.

peoples are fine with loli fanservice and all the freedom they love to have but at the same time discontent with rurouni kenshin anime pfp because it's author was pedophile lets also forget the fact rurouni kenshin sold 72 million copies and was known to be very good classic work that introduced peoples to the anime and made influence to the anime genre itself also it's not like rurouni anime was created by 1 person and author himself entire teams and companies worked on it if you denounce entire production and countless people hard work on it just because it's creator did something bad years later doesn't make much sense does it?

@Wolfyrinn Tatsuya Matsuki prove the point of why it stir with rorouni kenshin even though here Shiro Usazaki is innocent. The effects are still inbound.

@Lucifrost you don't have dudes posting underage girls in bikinis as their profile pictures in public websites do you? they get banned for that in any western website
@Wolfyrinn
I don't know. I never bothered to check if bikini drawings are allowed since I don't intend to post such pics myself.

@ColourWheel so in the end the person who decide whether someone is rule break or not is moderators and each of them will have their own individual opinion about it even if they abide by the rules mal have their own opinion still affect the judgement about it

@MYZIC this person profile picture should be exactly why there should be stricter rules
@Wolfyrinn you have hunter x hunter in your favorites, which sports a sexualized shota (I mean, have you seen the amount of skin shown with those shorts he's rocking? Golly gee, its scandalous).

Therefore you are a pedo, and should be banned forever

A while back I created my own forum signature, I got a warning about it, and it was not because the signature featured a picture of the fictional character Aika Sumeragi in a pose that happens to expose part of their panties. I got a warning because my forum signature simply exceeded the forum rules for going over a file size limit. Once I reduced the file size, I resubmitted the signature and the moderator approved it as acceptable.

So panties to the moderators are not seen as sexual content. I would assume the same thing goes for bikinis and skirts too. lol

Plus you are talking about a medium where Users will commonly use a character from their favorite Anime as a profile pic.

MAL isn't going to started banning every 2000 year old vampire Loli gramma off this site simply because a single Users thinks that character looks underage. lol

Like I said before as long as a fictional character isn't graphically nude, generally MAL will allow it. They would likely remove any pictures of actual real life people who look under age as a profile pic though.

MAL already has rules against those type of images. Either people aren't reporting those pages or MAL mods are slow to act on them.

Technically there isn't a strict “avatar policy” on this site that I have ever seen. I would assume it just falls back on their "Community Standards & Terms of Service" which would include such things a graphic nudity, actual pornography, and explicit sexual imagery (all of which is subjective to the moderators).

Yes, it's allowed, as it very well should be. If you dislike them then there is an exceedingly simple solution: Don't select them as images to adorn your own profile page and don't visit or make return visits to stare at the images of those who include them as their own decor of choice.

If you proceed to operate on that basis, then how is it affecting you? It isn't. The content you're referring to is directly sourced from and all over non-hentai anime anyway, so it wouldn't make any consistent sense to censor imagery from non-pornographic anime which comprise a large portion of this website's database and purpose. Those series have many fans, so why should they be disenfranchised from posting whichever images they want from those series? At least with hentai you can argue it's too explicit for a shared public space. But nothing is too explicit about underwear or bikinis.

The age of the characters is completely irrelevant.

@krautnelson any other website outside mal do you think this kind of stuff would be allowed?
@Wolfyrinn I'd say most forums that center around anime and that allow discussions about ecchi and hentai.

I honestly feel like you don't quite understand what kind of place this forum here is, because it's defnitely not something any kind of mainstream peeps find themselves in. the MAL forums have always been a cespool for the more degenerate half of the anime community. not that I encourage that behaviour - I frankly wish some people would tone it done a bit for their own sanity's sake - but I'm just saying it how it is.

I don't think anyone on MAL posts illegal content. I have seen zero instances of anyone sharing illegal porn here.

yes, very very much. anime is so sexualised. all waifus must be ugly like your avg cartoons, and there must be strict laws that will ban any anime that show any skin. Prolly should cut off any penis that get hard from pixels.



Porno was sooo good - best girl. Alicesoft kino.

kidnapping girls, forcing them to prostitution, and pumping and dumping them is way more fun than I had ever realised.

If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

It should be handled on a case by case basis, but in general, I support people's ability to do what they want with their own profile, so long as it's legal.

@Shizuna Kikuchiyo was also fantastic, top 3 with Porno and Antenna for me, but I couldn't find Christmas themed pics with them at the time, so Porno won :3
