I really do love tapas, if it wasn’t for the amazing readers and support I’ve received on webtoons, I’d probably keep strictly with tapas. They have issues but it’s very community oriented and I like that.

I am SO thankful you sent this, I was really worried because it felt so strange (although knowing that I’m a little peeved it was then one of my readers who reported me, like thanks guys?) I definitely don’t like that way of moderation, it feels like any person with an axe to grind could just make up whatever they like and then gets someone’s episodes taken down :confused:

Just why can’t people show this? As long as it’s properly tagged, it’s just a woman who hasn’t shaved, with her tits out, I see this on a daily basis e-e

Thank you v-v’ yah I hope it goes smoothly, and I’ll definitely update here as to the situation, I sent my message back to the webtoons support so hopefully they allow my content back in.

And I think i must have?? I never saw it but for some reason I got a bunch of new readers so perhaps??

:laughing: Lol,

Thats the thing its like whenever a wombman is drawn something like this then the artist is mostly likely have to censor it because of how the rules are placed like I understand but still...

And take a look at this artist the female characters are naked (their chest is exposed) but the artist had to put stuff around it so they wouldn't get in trouble, but the males are not
( art is by DizzyAlyx comic name: Gone and Forgotten)



Its like how you've said "why not male nipples?" or "What if my character was a trans woman?"
tbh why must censor the females chest but not males? What if that female who was drawn to be idk flat chested? They'll still censor it right? Because of their gender .

So many questions to this :sweat_01: but likely to not be answered :unamused:


And the picture you had provided with that artist called Koraidner they drawn the stuff out there, like you could see it going out :sweat_02: but nothin had happened though right?
So it is a bit strange ,really do shows the sexism ngl :thinking:


Articles I had read

So like I have read a couple of Articles (two :sweat_smile:)
And just reading them two it just feels that woman are being "controlled" in a way ( maybe not controlled but you get the idea :sweat_02:), like to not being able to show themselves but "it is what it is" though :unamused:

I really do find it a lot confusing though, about this topic

(I know this title is weird but still)


(This a lot of nipple talk, I also won't lie that I wouldn't thought that I would type the word "nipple" at all :laughing:)

Dude, what? That's insane! Your panel is DEFINITELY conservative/tasteful enough, even when considering the sexist double standard. I hope that appeal goes through!

I’m very glad for all the support, I am a little worried it won’t be allowed but I do really hope it is since there is so little exposed and I have moments in the future where non-sexual nudity will just come up. I’ll be sure to let people know what happens I just hope I have good news to give, and that’s truly horrible for that artist, I wonder if they appealed the process though? Perhaps they didn’t?

Thank you! Honestly it’s not a great sign for future parts in the story since there are moments which may leave some characters more exposed V-V’

Oof wow Webtoons is crazy strict. I have some scenes in later chapters that might be questionable... I will have to get creative it seems! Sorry that happened though, thats so annoying and the hypocrisy is so stupid. Like - there's no good reason for it. There's no nipple and honestly when I read it I didnt even notice!

Oh yes, I love sharing this cuz it makes me so mad, lol. I have male characters with fairly well defined junk in speedos and butts hanging out and over the top bloody violence, but this is what they decided was too much for their website LOL

Oh my godI BARELY EVEN NOTICED SHE WAS TOPLESS ON THAT PAGE BECAUSE THE FOCUS IS THE FACE HOW

WEBTOON Trust & Safety

I'd tend to distrustful of people that label themselves that. Comes a bit off too me.

Yea they completely took a whole episode away from my comic despite me censoring it.
This is one of the reasons y i don't make posting on WT a priority. there is too much favoritism going on there.

Ffff wow! I didn't even know that character was topless until you pointed it out. There isn't even cleavage or anything!

Even though what my comic got flagged for was much worse than this, I can empathize. I started posting my comic there when they didn't have any super defined rules against non-sexual nudity, there's even a mature content feature you can check off on the upload screen that's is still up, so I thought it was fine. But after being featured some anus flagged my nude pages, which I was never informed of. I found out while looking to see if I got new comments. I sent them an email, but they never responded so I deleted, then reposted my whole comic with super ugly censor bars and a warning at the beginning stating my comic is only for adults.


Admittedly I can understand them taking the scene down since it was full frontal nudity, but it still kinda sucks due to the muddiness I mentioned with the rules.

Now they have a really clear "NO MATURE CONTENT OF ANY KIND" bit on the upload screen... right below the check box for mature content. With all the flagging, and new level of restrictions for canvas comics, I assume they intend the that section to be for young children and preteens. Like a baby's play area.

I hope the staff respond, and you get your page put back up. This whole mess is so stupid, I wouldn't even care if they didn't have such double standards, and weren't hypocrites with their premium comics getting special privileges.

I actually have something to say regarding the censorship issue and Tapas.
A few months ago they reached me because one panel of one of me series portrayed nudity. It was shocking to me because it was from a finished comic with more than 4 years of updates and I always thought I was respecting their guidelines.

Turned out to be a panel where a male character was sleeping naked and half a testicle was visible. I felt outraged about the idea of having to censor what was literally a tiny curve line in a panel with no sexual connotations; even though I kept it cool and had a few chats with the moderator. After a while, they discussed the topic again and told me that they understood my frustration and decided to not block my comic because of that.

To me that's what makes Tapas better than Webtoons, the fact that you can talk and discuss with the staff and your voice actually matters. I have a way larger audience here and they are lovely, so Webtoons is just a place to post my work without much interest over the place.

Yah, I’m hoping it gets reversed but I’m sorry for your future works! It’s true that you can get creative with restriction but in a lot of ways it just limits creativity-

I have some questionable beheadings and body horror in mine and like yours it’s the boobs is what sets people off???! I’m just- the senselessness id astounding -_- I will never stop screaming about how if it’s okay for a man, should be okay for a woman in comic design.

Yah, I’m feelino a little that way now- I do still love engaging with my readers there, it’s just one jerk whose probably never even talked with me decided to report it :confused:

Honestly- my first instinct was to be petty and scribble all over the page to block it out, but I don’t like the idea of doing that now. I mean I’m still pissed and its made worse seeing all the people on this thread who have creative, different content that’s been flagged. I really want the rules just to be changed I’m not sure if it will happen but maybe if some of originals or bigger creators stood up for this webtoons would have to listen. I love Olympus lore, but every other image of Persephone is like -huge cleavage- so why the heck can’t small time creators do it??
