Sexual innuendos in dialogues

[PaulieBlade]

So we know that Tapas and especially Webtoon are really anal (ha!) about graphical depiction of sex. I've already gone through having my comics deleted (either from the app or altogether) by both Tapas and Webtoon because it showed nipples, bare butts etc. I've learned to live with this.

But my new comic will feature a lot of... talking about sexual stuff. Making remarks, suggestions, or--at times--talking about it quite directly. Are there limits how far we can go? Is the visual representation the only thing that is forbidden and we're in the clear when it comes to dialogues? Did anyone have any experiences with having their comics deleted solely because of content of the text?

No experience here but my comic will be quite similar to yours in that regard so that's something I'd love to know too.
I think innuendos should at least be fine though, and the language you use could affect your visibility but wouldn't get your comic deleted (unless it incites violence or something I think).

So, as someone with quite erotic comics in their portfolio I can say that I need to censor the drawings quite heavily for tapas app and webtoon
Here's the version that's been getting a pass also on webtoon, webcomics app and mangatoon

Read BDSM Boys - App Friendly | Tapas Web Comics

And so far none of the platforms have had any problems with the dialogues

Thanks, but could you give an example of a CHARGE dialogued that nonetheless left you in the clear? Also, could you link the Webtoon version as well? I'm interested in the amount of censorship that needs to be done.

Sorry, I don't remember '^^ (almost 4 years, over 200 pages...)

I see, thanks. Well, it's still quite an achievement that a BDSM-themed comic is even allowed on Webtoon. Maybe there is hope after all...
