Are tentacles NSFW?

I made some cool animated tentacles and want to release them as a free asset, but idk if it is against the rules for NSFW. By itself, a tentacle monster shouldn’t be considered lewd right? I just wanna make sure.

Here are the animations, jeez even imgur marked them as nsfw :(

(The asset pack will have 20 different tentacles)

Would you get in trouble for opening your game page at work?

well my opinion is no, as it is simply a game monster, but my opinion is subjective and I do not want a ban so I’m asking just in case.

Also playing any games at work will get me fired so I guess … yes?

No, I mean if someone saw you browsing your game page on the site.

oh you are taking the meaning nsfw literally. I meant nsfw as the requirement to mark it as “Has sensitive content” on itch.io

That's the rule of thumb we use. Edit: that said, it's telling that Imgur automatically marked a cartoon animated tentacle as NSFW when there's nothing else around it. We're not so silly.

that is a very subjective rule of thumb.

maybe change to, is it forbidden for minors to view that content.

but i am not culturally americanized completely. what would get me in trouble at work is not looking at porn, but looking at it on company equipment or if I do it on my smartphone, looking at it on company time or company network. the very act of it being porn itself is not problematic, but the situations where it would be ok, are hand crafted. most of the time it could be construed as sexual harassment as well, if I show it to others.

so basically, i have no idea what is nsfw. it is a meaningless phrase to me. browsing for apple hardware while working at microsoft might get you in trouble i guess. browsing religious content if your company has policy against relgion at work. and so on.

exactly. that baffles me long time. any game is nsfw, because playing at work   is forbidden. 

i wanna know where you can play at work and not get fired, so i can apply there.

The makers of Day of the Tentacle and Maniac Mansion   might want to have a word with imgur.

Probably it depends more on what the tentacle is doing. And where. By the way: I like your tentacle! (Gosh! Is this already sexual harassment? This world becomes more complicated every day ...).

Thank you guys so much! I’ve uploaded the free asset pack here: https://fieraryan.itch.io/animated-tentacles
