MemberUm... why is this rated as questionable? As far as I'm aware it's Safe? Or is the commiting of seppuku that makes this Questionable?
Siral Exan
PrivilegedThe visage of blood and self-violence makes this questionable. Blood/gore and violence can go up to explicit, it depends on context and imagery; in the opposite, a small consequential scratch or a minor nose bleed can still be tagged safe so long as there is no sexual context.
Or in shorthand: ratings are just as effected by blood in context as anything else.
DiamondsDroog
MemberAh. D'alright. I thought that questionable just meant "Tits but no genitals, or just skimpy clothing, basically NSFW stuff that isn't sex" and Explicit means "genitals and/or sex".
On an unrelated note, seppuku is linked to an artist. Is there a better tag for it, or does the tag need to be disambiguated (or even both)?

MemberWas planning on asking this this morning, but had to leave for my work. Stabbing_self wouldn't work as well, as it covers other sorts of stabs.

Former StaffSeppuku is a specific form of self-gutting (by cutting open the abdomen), so that doesn't fit anyway.
I guess this would be some kind of self_impalement, though that tag doesn't exist (yet).
Furrin Gok
MemberI thought Seppuku was stabbing oneself through the chest, not gutting.
Genjar
Former StaffNah. They used a tanto to slice the stomach open, leading to massive blood loss and (usually) quick death.
