FAQ
What specifically counts as "non-consensual"?
Non-consensual includes any sexual or intimate act without clear, voluntary agreement: assault, rape, coercion, exploitation of someone who is unconscious or intoxicated, sexual manipulation under threat, and situations where consent is impossible (e.g., a minor or legally incapacitated person). Ambiguity should be treated cautiously and likely labeled as NC.
Should every story with NC be banned?
Not necessarily. Mature, thoughtful depictions of NC can exist in stories that explore trauma, consequences, or character recovery. The key is responsible portrayal: clear labeling, content warnings, sensitivity to readers, and platform safeguards (age restrictions, filters, moderation). Content that glamorizes or normalizes sexual violence should be rejected or heavily revised.
How should I warn readers about NC in an interactive story?
Place a clear NC content warning before the story or before the relevant chapter, describe the nature of the trigger briefly (e.g., sexual violence, coercion), and offer options such as skipping the scene, choosing an alternative path, or using a fade-to-black approach. Make warnings visible in metadata and search filters.
Are there resources for writing about NC sensitively?
Yes. Use sensitivity readers, consult survivor-centered guidelines, and reference trauma-informed writing resources. Provide helpline links and content note templates where appropriate, and consider consulting legal or platform-specific policy guidance for age restrictions and moderation requirements.
