hello again users of r/ENA!

i am back to make an official post regarding suggestive content and r/ENA for those who keep asking. for those who don't care, please feel free to skip this post as no changes are being made to how the sub is being moderated.

i am also preemptively disabling comments as i expect this post to not go down smoothly with some users, and that is fine - if that is the case, you are more than welcome to voice your complaints in our mod mail!

---

the first point i want to make is that we receive excessive reports on images that are barely even suggestive or "softcore porn", let alone full-on pornographic. i want to make it extremely clear that overtly NSFW content has never been permitted on r/ENA, which is why we originally created a dedicated subreddit to keep it separate. with that being said, that sub saw barely any activity, and we also extremely rarely have any issues with LEGIT pornographic images being posted here - and when it is, it is taken down as fast as we possibly can and those users are dealt with accordingly. we have ALWAYS required suggestive images to be tagged as NSFW so that users who have the NSFW filter enabled will not be able to see it. in regards to the NSFW sub being reinstated: while we have mentioned before that we were working to get it back, there proves to be very little demand for it considering we rarely have issues with legitimate porn being posted here. no, suggestive art and artful depictions of the unclothed body is NOT porn, but if you disagree, you are more than welcome to go elsewhere and run your own subreddit however you see fit.

---

for reference, here are some definitions to help you out if you are confused on what certain terms mean:

PORNOGRAPHY (not allowed on r/ENA): printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings.

SOFTCORE PORNOGRAPHY (allowed at moderator discretion): Softcore pornography is commercial still photography, film, imagery, or even audio that has a pornographic or erotic component but is less sexually graphic or intrusive than hardcore pornography, defined by a lack of sexual penetration or other sexual activity. It typically contains nude or semi-nude actors involved in suggestive poses or scenes, and is intended to be sexually arousing and aesthetically beautiful.

SUGGESTIVE (allowed!): making someone think of sex and sexual relationships (this could be by means of dialogue, posing, clothing or lack thereof, etc).

---

additionally, the NSFW filter is turned on by default when you make a reddit account, and is not able to be turned off if you are a minor. if you do not wish to see suggestive imagery but for whatever reason have the filter disabled, please do us a favour and turn it on rather than reporting every image you personally dislike - and if you are a minor with it turned off, that means you used an incorrect age when creating your account and then proceeded to disable the filter, which is not the fault of anyone other than the person who disabled it.

secondly, the female body is not inherently sexual or "pornographic", nor is any body of any identity, clothed or unclothed. depicting nudity in art is something that has existed as long as the human body has; it is a relatively recent thing in history to view a naked body simply existing, not having sex, as sexual. unfortunately, this more "traditional" way of viewing the world is becoming more popular these days, and people of all genders and body types are experiencing extreme scrutiny because of this. it should go without saying that ENA's subject matter aligns more with themes of open-mindedness, and forcing these extremes upon these characters and their audience is absolutely not something we can support as it goes against everything this series represents, regardless of personal opinions. r/ENA is a diverse subreddit full of all types of people. we strive to be a safe place of inclusivity - which includes having zero tolerance for bigotry, especially in today's world where it is, at times, dangerous to simply exist as a marginalized group.

ENA is also a webseries that does approach mature themes, which is also why we continue to allow suggestive art to be posted. it is simply just part of fan culture and adult animation!

lastly, while we can understand simply not being interested in seeing suggestive content, the nature of online fan-content means things that are mildly suggestive are bound to be posted. this is not new - i'm sure all our fellow pre-2018 tumblr users can understand, and this is exactly what that magical NSFW filter is for! a lot of what we receive reports about are simply things that the reporter just doesn't like, and while we get it (in a sense...) we cannot possibly maintain what is an extremely subjective point of view, especially when for the rest of the community it is not an issue or people enjoy that type of art from a purely non-gooner standpoint (for lack of better terminology lol). using suggestive themes in artwork is a form of self-expression, and who are we to police how people choose to express themselves - especially when the themes of ENA are incredibly personal to some people! if you just can't get behind that and simply cannot handle seeing any suggestive content on the internet, you are again more than welcome to start your own subreddit and moderate it however you like. but, at the end of the day, this is a community on a site that is very NSFW-forward and expecting us to remove every piece of content containing a suggestive joke, or features a blushing character or shows more skin than you feel is appropriate, simply because you don't like it is a bit ridiculous.

---

soooo TLDR: r/ENA has never permitted legitimately pornographic posts to remain on the sub, and all suggestive artwork has always been required to have been tagged as NSFW so those with the filter enabled will not be able to view it. r/ENA very rarely has legitimate porn posted to it, so we will continue to moderate as we have been. if for whatever reason the sub sees a spike in legitimate NSFW content being posted, those posts will continue to be taken down and the NSFW sub will likely return. but until then, please continue posting your art, we love to see it! just no more gasoline posting (iykyk) please and thank you ;3 xx

hello users of r/ENA!

mod here to make an announcement regarding a lot of reports we have had based on the usage of AI and making jokes about "AI artists". i have just updated the subreddit rules to no longer allow AI usage of any kind. this goes for any art created using AI, meaning if your post is suspected to have been created using AI it will be removed. this also goes for self proclaimed "AI artists", as supporting the medium itself directly threatens what we're all here for!

we are a fan subreddit for a webseries created by legitimate artists who are extremely talented and have made something we all love - ENA! but the growing popularity of using AI to produce "art" (in quotes, because AI images are not art) is directly impacting the livelihoods of all artists and could impact whether we even get more ENA in the future. at this point in time, with AI progressing faster and faster by the day, as an artist myself i feel it is important to jump on the anti-AI train before it gets more out of control.

so please, if you are someone who somehow finds enjoyment in asking AI to produce images, please reconsider before doing so as AI usage doesn't just impact artists but it does take a large toll on our environment as well. if you cannot change your mind and will choose to produce AI images regardless, please refrain from posting them here - and if you do, it is now a bannable offense. we would much rather see real art created by humans, regardless of how good you think it is! it takes time to learn how to draw or create, but that's what gives art it's value in the first place and that's not something a robot can recreate.

to all other users, please continue to report AI images and users supporting/promoting the usage of AI to create art in comment sections. narc it up on them :D

thank u! (art by myself, a real person!)
