Insults in a webcomic

[summermcallen]

Hi
in my third episode of my short story webtoon I must add some insults and mobbing.
But I'm not sure what I can use without beeing banned.
I only use "Bitch" and "slut" as insult words.
Does anyone know if i can use them?
I need to know it in both webtoon and tapas
I have read the policy, but somehow it was not clear enough what is still allowed

Tapas is totally fine.
I think bitch and slut would be fine on webtoons as well.

The only real swearing you have to be mindful of on any site are derogatory slurs or any word that targets minority groups.

Looking at the content guidelines I think "bitch" and "slut" should be fine but anything stronger (F words, C words etc) might need a content warning. Although even then you should be able to get away with one or two

@joannekwan @BlunderingAlbatross
thank you so much now I feeling a bit safer to upload it

There's also the route of using a "creative" spelling something like Beeyotch or Biatch for Bitch. It's less likely to get caught on a potential random curse word sweep. Just another option.

If you want to censor any strong word, you can change it by random symbols like #$%&/()! just put the same amount of symbols than words and grown-ups will going to figure out the words and kids will always assume that is a bad word but they will never figure out wich one is.
It's a common rule for comics, especially for those that are targeted for all audiences.

Even bitch can be censored for kids if you don't want to kids say something like bitch in any way, just change it to B#tch or just put #%$# to completely censor the word.

why not just censored it like use b*tch instead BITCH or p*rn instead p*rn~ I use it often when I have a vulgar character~

Or you can be creative without swearing. I hope you fall down the stairs and break your neck. I hope a porcupine gives birth between your ass cheeks. I hope something extreme unpleasant happens to you this evening.
