What goes too far in terms of "pervy content"?

If a picture doesn't show actual nudity or sexual content, but shows something that could be considered perverted (or ecchi), how is it judged?

For instance, I know of a 4-koma comic where several of the League women are at a hot tub, and Lux is envious of the breast sizes of the others (whereas she is flat). While the women are clearly unclothed, nothing explicit is shown. Does this cross a line?

Just trying to get some clearer outlines for this rule.

If you try to post content as that comes as close as possible to breaking the rule just barely on the "OK" side of violating it, you're going to have a bad time.

The way I see it if you have to ask it's probably not a good idea.

i came to lol and stayed for Brydaro. good points and arguments there man. i giggled at it like a little school girl, but you make very fair points. To touch down on what he was saying, i am in fully agree that it would be hard and immoral to judge what is appropriate or not, considering almost all of the ladies of the league are designed in a very... attention grabbing way. i dont see the difference between a comic someone drew showing the ladies of the league, but not fully exposed, and the splash art of Kat. The ladies are not fully exposed in the splash either but they have some interesting curves in some interesting places. food for though.

A good way to look at it in my opinion would be to see how far Riot has taken it in the past. 'Convenient censoring' has been used by Riot in the past going by most artistic standards (See the Zyra teaser).

Safe content usually will use some form of convenient censoring such as image angle or having hair (or leaves and shadows in the case of Zyra's teaser) covering more erotic parts. Questionable content usually shows nipples and/or butts, explicit content shows genitals/anuses. Riot hasn't specified, and as such I'd say it's safe to assume those would be the guidelines here as well.

This may help.

So wait, you want to know where the line between "unacceptably pornographic" and "postable" is?

I know it when I see it.
