the worst part is that it was first posted as G then someone had to rerate it to S

Are you kidding me?! Good god, when I first saw this mishap, I went "At least it wasn't G". That just makes it worse! Not to mention it's extremely obvious it's Q at the minimum.

But nevertheless, I've rerated it to Q as soon as I was told my assumption of a misrate was correct. Even more baffling, considering all the other NSFW posts it was uploaded alongside are properly rated Q and E. Ah well, I'll just take this as a lesson in misrating (even if I wasn't the one making the mistake), and hopefully I won't be back here to report/ask for a double look at a misrate of anyone else's anytime soon.

post #6512138
Was rated S by the uploader. I changed it to Q because of the breast grab, but the uploader kept changing it back to S. When I pointed out the rating guidelines, the uploader claimed Q is too high because "the characters are fully clothed and [the groping is] the only thing present in the image" (message here). My argument against this is that the breast grab is a prominent part of the image and undoubtedly sexual in presentation, and characters being fully clothed don't reduce the suggestiveness of breast grabs as far as I know (it certainly wouldn't for crotch grabs). Also, the hand covering the mouth gives the image some slight BDSM undertones, though I think the Q rating is justified even without this.

Since this was also brought up in the message, I will also say that while tags being listed under a howto:rate section don't always mean the post should be rated that high, the cases where groping tags would not justify those ratings are extremely rare.

I believe I provided enough evidence to show this post belongs in Q and would like some second opinions so we don't keep going back and forth on this.

Looks very rape-y because of this, pushes it to Q in my opinion.
I don't think the had looks particularly grope-y otherwise due to the simple art (no defined breasts) so I could see a S if it was just a hug from behind, but the expressions + blush + covering the others mouth makes this Q. It's clearly "Mild sexual contact."

To whom this may concern,

Should post #5439408 be rated sensitive instead of general? That amount of blood might be too much. Not to mention the unsettling stare

Thanks in advance

I would probably rate as S, since some people are really sensitive towards the sight of blood (Hemophobia)

Could this get away with a G rating, or is it fine the way it is?

In general, if you're having trouble deciding between S and G, it's better to rate as S to be safe.

That kind of situation would typically be G, but extra scrutiny might be drawn to it because of the character's age. Younger characters are treated more harshly in terms of rating.

I think the subtly aroused look and distance between their faces combined with their apparent age makes this a definite S. I'd hesitate to rate this G even if they were adults.
