Content policy clarification request

[ArcDragon]

Hello! Huge fan of Corruption of Champions going back 5+ years, and I've just published a game I'd like to create a thread for in the other games forum. I'm looking over the content guidelines and I think my game is ok, but I'd just like to get it tentatively approved before I risk a perma-IP ban over a misunderstanding.

The issue is that one of the locations in the game is a high school, and yes, sexual acts do occur there. But people turn 18 before they graduate high school. At no point does the game ever say any anything about these people being underaged, but neither does the game throw up a flashing neon sign to beat you over the head saying "they're all 18 you perverts!" It is stated that these are "school girls" but that literally just means they're attending school, and personally I was calling my girlfriend a "girl" well into her 20s.

"a female child or young woman, especially one still at school"

I want to be sure I'm in the clear and that I'm not going to get banned over someone making overzealous assumptions.

Is this going to be ok?

Thank you.

I'm gonna wait for other people to chime in as well, but imo, that's a no-go from me.

When you use the term high school, to me, you are intentionally trying to invoke the thought of younger characters, leaning toward the point of making people inch toward "barely legal." It makes me extremely uncomfortable to call them such and it's not anything I would choose to engage with at all, but I'm also aware that some part of that stems from the fact that my immediate thought of the ages ranges involving a high school is like 11-16. You can tell me "Well actually they're 18 in this instance," it doesn't override a years-long entombed understanding that high school = 11-16.

These ain't my forums, and this ain't my website and it's ultimately down to Fenoxo - but if it were my site, it'd be a no from me.

Yeah I'm not really big on hosting content related to school-aged girls, doubly so since it often winds up as an excuse to have characters who appear even younger while still being 18 - sort of a lesser version of the classic "This character is obviously a child but is really a 1000 year old dragon."

Unfortunate. The high school is one location out of 12, the art depicts large-breasted girls who don't look underage at all, etc.

But this is why I asked first.

Thank you for the response.
