What sex scene? There isn't one.
What is in the model is, at most a reference to a type of porn, or a specific "brand" of porn.
The model doesn't include any images of any company producing porn, nor any signs visible in the pictures available that anything sexual happened. There's no jizz on the couch, in other words. Edit: there is the sweat stain though, which could be considered a post sexual stain, despite it not being inherently sexual. My couch has an ass shaped spot if I have to sit down after a shower before dressing.
This makes the model a bit of humor, maybe satire if you want to stretch the term satire far enough.
So, if the rules don't prohibit joke models, there's nothing about the model itself that's a problem for a "family friendly" event. Which, that term is getting a little damn old at this point, since it's being used as code for anti-drag arguments as well now. Which is off topic, but you might want to know the term is being coopted by bigots so you can decide if you want to avoid it or not.
Seriously, there is nothing explicit in that model. It references porn tropes, but in a way that the only way someone would know the reference is to have either enjoyed fake casting couch porn themselves, or have run into that trope in other ways (which, let's be real, chances of it being other ways approaches zero).
No kid is going to see this model and be harmed in any way whatsoever. Any kid that would get the joke is either old enough that it isn't a problem, or has way more important issues to be addressed.
So, yeah, if you don't want to allow even the most oblique references to adult subject matter, that needs to be in the rules.
I really don't appreciate the insinuation that I'd be one to do that, but at least you said it was off topic. That was out of line. I'd appreciate it if you edited it out. I shouldn't even have to point this out but nothing about a man in a dress is inherently sexual. This model is a snapshot of a room that just finished filming a sex scene. Those are two wildly different things.
I was just musing about how content moderation rules are always easier when you allow for moderator discretion. I remember seeing a very compelling argument made by a moderator here a few weeks ago talking about how in their experience the ones always questioning where the rule they broke were the ones causing problems.
For the record, I don't really have any sort of problem with this model. I like it. I find it very creative and skillfully made. I just asked one question about how we should handle things that aren't explicitly against the rules and rather than talk about that you wanted to write me an essay about why this actually isn't sexual at all and even insinuate that I'm anti-drag.
Your reading comprehension is poor.
I said that you might want to reevaluate the use of one term because bigots are taking it over. This is not a new thing, but not everyone is aware of it. I assumed you aren't a bigot, but also weren't aware of them using the term "family values" as a dog whistle.
I just reread the quoted section three times. Being dyslexic, I thought maybe I messed up something, but tts and a non dyslexic human have verified what I said. I'm not sure how you arrived at the conclusion I was accusing you of anything. I said, "but you might want to know". That right there is the part that indicates I suspect you were unaware.
Seriously, lemmy leans heavily left. Enough so that I default to assuming that bigots are an extreme rarity here. I think I may have run across it a handful of times since the reddit exodus. I would apologize for the misunderstanding, but my dude, you taking what I said wrong is totally on you.
If you think I've misread something you can just say that instead of saying insulting things like "your reading comprehension is poor."
