We’re rolling out a slight restructure on Furbooru’s rating tags by phasing out the Semi-Grimdark rating.
Semi-Grimdark rating was legacy brought over Derpibooru, since the site was bound to the children’s show My Little Pony it was sensical to keep the safe rating as safe as possible. We do not have this need at Furbooru once our target audience is more mature.
For this reason it was decided that it would be beneficial to the site to simplify the ratings eliminating the redundancy created by the Semi-Grimdark tag.
What does that mean on practical terms? It means that cartoonish violence, minor exposure of blood, jokes and related will only require sexual rating. For example:
>>148s (merged)
(questionable || explicit) && blood
on a new line in the box that says “complex filters.”
- Realistically cruel death/doom, like coming apart in acid, bleeding mortal wounds, or facing execution while clearly beaten up
Furbooru is not cheap to operate - help support us financially!
