Just a little curious cause the other day my Malcolm ref sheet got removed from a tumblr community supposedly for being NSFW(?) (They just said he had too little clothing) but at what point do you guys personally consider an art piece to be suggestive/NSFW?
To me I would call my ref sheets SFW, it's just underwear and their poses are anything but suggestive, I mean gosh you see more revealing swimsuits at the beach or on TV then the underwear I draw on my OCs. I get flagging or filtering full nudity or discretely censored nudity, but idk partial nudity (underwear) in a non suggestive pose doesn't feel like something I need to censor/filter? I'm not upset about the tumblr thing, I kinda expected this to happen at some point, but now I'm just curious where do other people draw the line?Mar 22, 2026

I don’t consider a drawing of a character in underwear that’s in the context of a reference NSFW. I’d call fully nudity NSFW or someone in underwear where it’s ment to sexual NSFW but not just a reference sheet.
