Q: Does FursonasFactory allow adult/NSFW content?
A: Yes. Adult content is a supported and legitimate part of the platform. Artists/Buyers must be ID-verified and mark their listings/account as NSFW. NSFW content is hidden by default and only visible to users who explicitly enable it.
Q: How do I enable NSFW content?
A: Go to your account settings and enable adult content viewing. You’ll confirm that you are 18 or older. Once enabled, NSFW-marked listings become visible.
Q: What NSFW content is allowed?
A: Explicit sexual artwork between adult characters, mature themes, nudity, fetish content, adult fantasy scenarios, and gore within limits. See the Upload Policy for the full breakdown.
Q: What NSFW content is absolutely prohibited?
A: Sexual content involving minors in any form — no exceptions. Real-person sexual content without clear documented consent is also prohibited. Both result in immediate permanent account termination and may be reported to authorities.
Q: Does a character being fictional mean I can draw them as a minor in sexual content?
A: Absolutely not. There are no exceptions for fictional characters, fursonas, or anthropomorphic characters of any kind.
Q: What if a character’s age is unclear?
A: Characters with ambiguous ages must be depicted and described as adults. Adult body proportions and presentation are required. Ambiguity is resolved against the uploader.
Q: Can I say a character “looks young but is actually 1000 years old”?
A: No. This construction is explicitly prohibited. The visual presentation must clearly read as adult. A fictional age claim doesn’t make non-adult-presenting content compliant.
Q: I think I saw content that depicts a minor sexually. What do I do?
A: Report it immediately using the flag button, or email support@fursonasfactory.com with the subject line “Minor Content Report.” These reports are the highest moderation priority and may be reported to NCMEC and law enforcement.
Q: Do I need to mark my whole account as NSFW or just individual listings?
A: At minimum, individual listings containing adult content must be marked NSFW. If your account primarily offers adult content, marking your account as NSFW is also encouraged.
Q: Can buyers who haven’t enabled NSFW accidentally see adult content?
A: No. NSFW content is gated behind the adult content toggle — invisible to users who haven’t enabled it.
Q: Can I offer both SFW and NSFW commission types?
A: Yes. You can have SFW listings and NSFW listings on the same store. SFW users will only see your SFW content.
Q: What is “real-person sexual content” and why is it prohibited?
A: Sexual content depicting real, identifiable people — celebrities, public figures, internet personalities, or other platform users — without their clear, documented, and freely given consent. This violates the dignity and privacy of real individuals regardless of artistic framing.
Q: Can I draw sexual content of other people’s fursonas?
A: Drawing another artist’s character in adult content without their permission is strongly discouraged and violates community norms. Always get documented permission before creating adult content of another person’s character.
Q: Is gore allowed on FursonasFactory?
A: Gore and graphic violence are permitted in NSFW-marked listings, provided the content doesn’t depict real identifiable individuals, constitute targeted harassment, or exist purely for shock value. Staff may remove extreme content at their discretion.
Q: What happens if I upload NSFW content to a listing I forgot to mark?
A: Uploading adult content to an unmarked listing is a policy violation. The content will be removed and you may receive a content strike. Always mark a listing as NSFW before uploading adult content to it.
Q: Can a buyer request NSFW content that the artist hasn’t explicitly listed?
A: Buyers can discuss NSFW requests with artists via DM before placing an order. Artists are not obligated to create content outside their stated terms. Do not place an order expecting NSFW content unless the artist has explicitly agreed.
Q: What does “non-consensual scenarios” mean in the Upload Policy?
A: Non-consensual scenarios presented in a clearly fictional context are a permitted NSFW content category, subject to the same age and marking rules. Content involving real people or minors in such scenarios is still absolutely prohibited.
Q: Are fetish commissions allowed?
A: Yes. Fetish content is permitted within NSFW-marked listings, subject to all other content rules. Artists are never obligated to create fetish content they’re not comfortable with.
Q: Can a minor use a parent’s account to view NSFW content?
A: All users must be 18 or older to have an account. The platform has no mechanism to grant access to minors under any circumstances.
Q: How do I report a listing that I believe contains incorrectly marked or unmarked NSFW content?
A: Use the flag button on the listing and select the appropriate reason. Staff will review and take action if a violation is confirmed.
Q: Can I post NSFW art in the order comment thread?
A: WIP images shared in an order comment thread for an NSFW commission are appropriate — both parties have consented to that commission. Don’t send unsolicited NSFW images through messages or order threads for SFW commissions.
Q: What is considered “adult body proportions” for age ambiguity purposes?
A: Characters must visually present as adults — this means adult-proportioned bodies (full height, adult facial features, developed physique). Deliberately small, childlike, or juvenile proportions do not become acceptable with a written age disclaimer. When in doubt, draw more adult-looking characters.
Q: Are aging-up commissions (drawing a canonically minor character as an adult) permitted
A: Aged-up commissions of canonically minor characters in sexual or explicit situations present significant policy and legal risk and are not permitted. The character’s canonical age creates context that doesn’t disappear with a disclaimer. Avoid commissioning or accepting these.
Q: Does the NSFW toggle affect what artists can see in my profile?
A: The NSFW toggle controls what content is visible to you as a viewer. Artists see their own listings regardless of toggle status. Your own listing visibility to others depends on their settings, not yours.
Q: What is the process if I see NSFW content on an SFW listing?
A: Flag the listing immediately using the flag button and select “Unmarked adult content.” Staff will investigate and take action. You can also report it to support@fursonasfactory.com if you prefer.
Q: Can I post NSFW content in my listing description (text only, no images)?
A: Explicit text descriptions (not visual content) in a listing that is marked NSFW are fine. Keep descriptions professional even for NSFW content — you’re describing a product, not writing erotica.
Q: Is there a distinction between “explicit” and “suggestive” content for marking purposes?
A: Content that any reasonable person would consider adult-only — nudity, sexual themes, explicit scenarios — must be marked NSFW. Suggestive-but-clothed art exists in a gray area. When in doubt, mark it NSFW — it costs nothing and protects you from a violation.
Q: Can I offer NSFW commissions as a Buyer-type account?
A: Buyers commission artists, they don’t create listings. As a Buyer, you can request NSFW content in bounties and DM artists about NSFW commissions. You don’t need to change your account type just to buy NSFW content — you just need adult content enabled in your settings.
Q: What action is taken when minor sexual content is found?
A: The content is removed immediately. The account is permanently terminated with no appeal. The incident may be reported to NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) and relevant law enforcement. There are no second chances for this violation — it is the most severe category of content violation on the platform.
