Hi, this image is currently tagged explicit >>2847148, but I wonder why, as I can’t see any “organs/liquids” there, and it looks generally questionable, or even suggestive. Can you tell me?^^

Belly riding images are in an odd spot due to the technicality on Explicit (the image has another version showing clearly sex is happening), but anyways, the image fits better in Suggestive (almost Safe, but weird positioning plus bondage gear).

>>2804299 has some contention about the rating in the comments, and I agree, it’s…unclear whether there’s supposed to be any obscured action going on. Right now, it’s rated safe. Thoughts?

@Meanlucario
I don’t see even areola, so Suggestive is correct.
@Rainboom Dash
Common rating mistake, people tagging Suggestive when they think sex is about to happen due to positioning, rather than tagging Safe as they should because it’s just a kiss currently happening.
@Background Pony #4230
It’s weird, but I don’t think Suggestive is right with them not actually touching.
@Background Pony #4230
Yes, a bit too much is being revealed.

Not sure how to rate this one I just uploaded >>2868782
My initial instinct is to just call it Explicit, but at both source links (the artist’s and the commissioner’s uploads on FA) it’s just tagged “General”, which makes me unsure if the “honey” in the pic is supposed to be sexual fluid or not. (FA’s tags aren’t a perfect match with ours, but from what I can tell, their General is for content that we would rate either Safe or Suggestive.)

@radpanic
Questionable is generally used for when a muzzle is buried deep in like that. Making the least assumptions, that’s just honey, so no need to rate Explicit.
@Background Pony #4230
Suggestive is probably fine here, it’s what having an object to represent the genitals would be, even if this is more a weird anatomy situation. Questionable at most, it simply doesn’t look like genitalia.
@Blissful690
No, as it’s too abstract/indirect.
Background Pony #0443
Just to be sure - ratings are solely based on the content of the image, correct?

Indeed, ratings are not meant to be ways to gate access to sources (“explicit source” is a tag useful there). As for figuring out rating here, “Hardkink” is the only thing that would possibly push it to Suggestive, but I’m fairly certain it’s still within Safe.
Also, I must say this situation in general seems way overprotective with wanting to rate above Safe when the twitter account is protected (itself a little nuts) on top of having text to warn people about the content.

“Hardkink” is not unambiguous, it could also refer to a tight bend. And unlike an extended double entendre with character reactions, this is just the word bare of any textual context. So fine as ‘safe’ in my opinion.
Subtext/paratext such as “it’s listed in the user bio on $SOCIAL_MEDIA_SITE so it probably refers to the sexy kind of kink” is valid of course, but it’s not text.

A classic case of “Well since I changed something with sexual intent, it clearly should jump a rating up!” when what they changed is barely even noticible. They’d have to go a lot further on breast size to even approach Suggestive.

A staff member rerated it from Questionable to Safe two years ago, and I agree with that assessment. Peeing is not inherently sexual (and profuse blushing doesn’t make it sexualised), and this image is about as nonsexual as an omorashi situation can be made.
