Its 2023...where's the NSFW?

[oystersalsa]

Making a NSFW webcomic. Can people post non-explicit versions on Tapas, etc, then save the explicit stuff for Patreon? Not looking to monetize necessarily! I'm on the app so I've no idea how NSFW or mature stuff works on here.

Yeah nudity is pretty much forbidden on the appstore nowadays. You can censoure and put the uncensored version on patreon. You can also put the uncensored version on Comic fury, you can bundle it on itch.io and sell it for free (albiet bundle as a complete comic) and Ive heard Global comix is pretty nsfw friendly

Tapas and really the appstores in general are cracking down on alot of stuff, even pubic hair is banned (happy trails).

Out of my own experience posting nsfw works

tapas app, webtoon, webcomics app, mangatoon - censor the hell out of it, like leave maybe faces, hands (if their not touching any sensitive areas) and feets, cut out or put giant black bars on everything that could be considered a sensitive spot when things get steamy
tapas browser version only with no chance of any promotion, globalcomix - putting mosaic on genitalia is enough, just make sure it's really opaque (got in trouble with tapas once and got whole series thrown into the shadow realm for a scheduled page with a little bit too little mosaic)
comic fury, flowfo, as pdfs on itch.io, paywalling behind patreon/subscriberstar, making your own website - do as you please

for comparison on how far you can go on the app vs browser version of tapas, here are two versions of my comic

Thank you, that's quite comprehensive. And thanks for linking your series! The browser version isn't too explicit either, it seems.

[oystersalsa]

Thanks! I understand.

Depends where you look, I'd say 'xD There's a lot of soft fluff and then 26 pages long fun time scene (ok, only the one that was season's finale was this long xD and I'd say it's the most explicit I've gone with this series and as I've got bonked once for not censoring enough, this amount of censorship is probably the minimum you have to put to stay on the site)

I also have been making some NSFW art! but I'm waiting until I have a dozen of them then posting them somewhere under a different name. Also experimenting with unique art styles so people don't trace it back to me.

Can't add much more than what others have already said. From my own personal experience full frontal nudity is fine on desktop, as long as it's non-sexual, is story relevant and occurs rarely. Before the Apple ban on mature stuff I touched base with the staff about a nude scene, and they were fine with it. They haven't taken it down yet, or contacted me about it, so I assume they're still fine with it.

Here is the scene if you're curious. Warning for gross-out and some drug use.

Thanks for all the information, I have been wondering about that.
The censored version + patreon sounds like a good option for me.
I´m doing nsfw stories/art and I´m planning to do a comic and this
would work for me because I would only have to censor 10% of the
comic
