Are there specific rules about nudity in photos on Happydemy®?

Introduction

Happydemy® values artistic freedom and cultural expression. However, to maintain a respectful, safe, and inclusive environment for all Members, we have specific guidelines regarding the publication of content that contains nudity. These rules are designed to balance creative expression with the protection and well-being of the community.

General Policy on Nudity

• Artistic Expression is Respected: We allow tasteful artistic depictions of the human form when done professionally and respectfully.

• Explicit Content is Prohibited: Content that is sexually explicit, pornographic, or intended to arouse is not permitted.

• Protection of Minors: Any content involving minors, in any context related to nudity, is strictly forbidden and will be reported to legal authorities.

Allowed Content Examples

• Professional Artistic Photography: Images celebrating the beauty of the human form in a non-sexual, artistic manner (e.g., gallery exhibits, professional portraiture).

• Breastfeeding Imagery: Pictures of women breastfeeding are natural expressions of motherhood and are permitted.

• Classical Art: Reproductions of historical artwork featuring nudity (e.g., Renaissance paintings) are allowed when presented respectfully.

Not Allowed Content Examples

• Intimate Parts Exposed: Images or videos where intimate parts (genitalia, exposed breasts in sexual contexts) are visible or highlighted.

• Self-Generated Erotic Content: Selfies, amateur photos, or videos created to solicit attention or funds.

• Sexual Acts or Pornography: Any material depicting sexual activities or pornographic scenarios.

• Sadism, Masochism, Rape Content: Content promoting or depicting sexual violence.

• Sexual Exploitation of Minors: Zero tolerance — immediate reporting to authorities.

Additional Restrictions

• No Solicitation: Using nudity to promote donations, services, or goods is forbidden.

• No Sexual Messaging: Associating nudity with solicitation, suggestive language, or provocative messaging is prohibited.

• No Partial Exceptions for Explicit Content: Even if "artistic intent" is claimed, if the content is sexually provocative or vulgar, it will be removed.

Reporting and Enforcement

All Members are encouraged to:

• Report Inappropriate Nudity: Use "Report to Whiteshield" for any content that seems to breach these guidelines.

• Provide Context: If sharing permitted artistic content, explain the context if necessary (e.g., "Photo from gallery exhibit XYZ").

Violations may lead to:

• Immediate removal of the content.

• Account warnings or temporary suspensions.

• Permanent bans for serious or repeated breaches.

• Reporting to legal authorities for severe offences.

Example Scenarios

• Allowed: A professional photo series on human form beauty displayed respectfully, with no sexual connotations.
