Viewing post in Rule 5: Law & Ethics

What's the rule on feral wolf characters(Like Deviantart Talking wolves who walk on all fours with anime/emo/scene hair for instance)? Are they always allowed if SFW? But what about NSFW if the player is also a wolf or turned into a wolf and consenting to mating with an adult wolf character who is verbally and mentally capable of consent(Harkness Test)?

However, I draw the line at bestiality/zoophilia though(A human character having sex with a wolf as human) and is totally against that.

Also, I am not trying to start fights with the more younger furries who are against feral art. I am just asking what are the rules about that are. Will comply regardless if I want to participate. Thank you!

Hello,

The Assistants and I currently discussing your inquiry but it is taking a bit of time to come up with a response. We will get it to you.

For SFW, feral wolf characters are allowed but you will still need at least one wolf to be mostly physically anthropomorphized beyond having sentience and the ability to communicate with non-feral characters in order for them to count towards the “anthro” in Rule 3.

For NSFW, while the Harkness Test is the standard that most Furries use and passes in your example, with recent vague itch.io policy changes we are worried that this example would go against their “animal-related” policy. https://itch.io/docs/creators/faq#is-adult-content-allowed

We will email itch.io to see if they will allow such content but are highly doubtful they will respond to us let alone give us clarification to allow it. For now we will have to prohibit Harkness Test Passing Feral NSFW but will contact you if we do get a response.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

Also, that policy meant for if you make money from credit card companies and there are feral furry games on Itch for free, etc.
