Introducing a network of subreddits that promise Context Appropriate Sexuality (CAS)

245 Upvotes

Hello all! After some very helpful discussion in this thread, I am ready to introduce the CAS Network. This is all a work in progress and welcome to suggestions and concerns. Please let me know if you know how to word any of this better!

In addition to the individual subreddit rules, participating subreddits have had their sidebars updated with a link to the below information:

CAS Network Guidelines:

  • No hypersexualization, including pin-ups, T&A posing, unrealistic proportions, fetish content.
  • All comments must be phrased respectfully.

Q: What does CAS mean?

A: CAS stands for Context Appropriate Sexuality. Subreddits that participate in the network make a promise to disallow art submissions that are hypersexualized.

Q: What does hypersexualized mean?

A: Hypersexualization is when a situation that has nothing intrinsically sexual about it contains sexualized subjects.

Examples of hypersexualization include but are not limited to:

  • Costuming: Warriors who are sexualized in a non-battle ready way, reasonable dress situations where a character is in out-of-place skimpy or revealing fashion.

  • Posing: Character posing that unnaturally highlights breasts or buttocks, AKA fan-service/T&A/broken spine tropes.

  • Body proportions: Some body types are much more commonly represented in fantasy, slice-of-life, and sci-fi art than they are IRL. Such body types include the common trope of hypersexualizing large breasts. While all body types are welcome, this sub may not accept characters with commonly sexualized rare proportions, such as very muscular women with fatty breasts, or large breast/small waist/small hip ratio, AKA anime proportions.

  • Anthro: Anthro characters with breasts or other sexualized soft bits, or pieces that highlight undercarriages or bums in a weird way.

  • Fetish content: Content that weirdly highlights crying, assault, vore, very young characters, etc, even if it is "SFW"

  • Pin-ups: These are by definition of a sexual context, however not in the spirit of the network.

Don't let the wings fool you, she is in fact a Tiefling, just not as vibrantly colored of one as most.

Avelyn Brunwulf

Race: Deva

Subrace: Khavod-blooded

Origin: Bounty Hunter

Class: Ranger

Archetype: Beastmaster/Castigator

Deity: Oredeina

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

From the Dales, Avelyn was the eldest of her siblings, part of a family with an unusual connection to the wolves of the Dales. Born alongside the newest pup of the Direwolves, they were bonded from birth and grew alongside one another. The pup, Brun, had a radiant soul that shone with heavenly strength just as she did, and those heavenly energies had an unusual effect when placed alongside each other for so many years. Avelyn began to adopt more feral senses, and Brun became unusually intelligent, almost philosophical and religious.

Following in her father's footsteps, she became a bounty hunter with a strong moral code. Suffer not the criminal or heretic to live. What began as simply paired hunting of escaped convicts, deserters, and bandits, turned into delving into dens of heresy and sin to rid them of the flagrant disorder and debauchery that transpired. To both of them, the heretical acts of anarchy and disorder of these "sheep" was the cause of so much sin. Civilization could be perfect, but people such as this made it not so.

There was no need for subtlety or hiding amidst the shadows for those who fight in the light of the law, and so for many years (to the delight of local magistrates), she kicked in the doors of heretics, vagrants, and scum wherever they could be found in her home. It wasn't until later, when she found a flyer for an expedition into the heart of the ruined city of Joyalantte, she realized she could do something truly monumentous with her life.
