The Rating Guidelines say that only “tasteful” pantyshots qualify for a safe rating and I’d say that if the girl is embarrassed and doesn’t like it, it doesn’t count as “tasteful”.

Meanwhile, Unbreakable apparently thinks it’s tasteful...

Well you don't see much so I thought it would be safe with a safe rating, feel free to change it if you think I'm wrong.

But for the other two linked, I'm leaning more towards q.

post #34363 isn't revealing at all and the panty exposure is accidental, so in my opinion it is clearly Safe. The general idea is that Questionable images should contain erotic nudity or sexual activity, an outfit or viewing angle that might be considered titillating isn't enough.

Well, no. To be rated safe, it needs to be “clearly lacking all sexual content”, otherwise it’s questionable. “An outfit or viewing angle that might be considered titillating” is not “clearly lacking all sexual content” and should therefore be rated questionable.

Any sexual activity visible actually disqualifies a post for a questionable rating because that’s already explicit.

I’m not surprised that you consider it safe, though, because the safe rating seems to be getting watered down a lot. Same with the questionable rating, as you just demonstrated.

Yeah, I'd rate it safe as well. Safe != Safe For Work. In fact, a girl in underwear only is considered safe as long as her pose or behavior doesn't indicate anything sexual. Even partially nude can be considered safe, especially if it's an artistic nude.

Found a truckload of posts with groping rating:s. Isnt groping sexual by definition?
A few examples in decreasing "sexnes" order:
post #2869639
post #2855288
post #135025
post #2761721

Which of these are safe if any?

All of them look safe to me. Questionable would be more along the line of showing more nude skin like nipples or a partially visible vulva, while explicit would be showing genitalia (vagina/fully exposed pussy, and/or the penis). Yes, groping the breasts is a sexual activity, but these characters are fully clothed and the act seems contextually harmless in those posts. It would be questionable if rape was involved.

I unlocked them and changed the rating, but I don't know why they were like that. It's probably related to the fact that their tag histories show no rating record until a certain time period. Someone who's been on this site for longer than me might know more.
