Hey!
So, February has a lot of sexual art. For many users, it is awkward, uncomfortable, and/or disturbing to see. I am proposing an in-game toggle that just removes the art from these encounters but keeps the text. So, for instance, the mating achromatic and melanistic lion decor would just show the explore biome background and no character art, but would still show the usual text and options.

I am aware that there is a tutorial on the wiki (https://www.lioden.wiki/blocking-images) to block the sexual images. However, many other users probably are not, and it is not stated on any event posts or on the event page. This method also requires an extension to be downloaded, and will not work on mobile. I know several lioden players, myself included, that play on mobile and would really like to stop seeing all that. Yes, this game is 16+, and no genitalia is shown, but users can still feel uncomfortable with it.

There are already in-game toggles for a variety of things, like pregnant images, custom decor on lions, and of course the marking censor. There is also the opportunity to opt out of the event entirely, but seeing as not all of the encounters are sexual and the event is a major money maker for players I don't think it's a valid option for people just interested in losing the sexual art.

To restate - a toggle, perhaps on the event page or on your user profile, that gives the option to remove sexual images from explore encounters. If not that, a link to the wiki page about blocking images would be nice on the news post or event page.

I'm not sure how difficult this idea would be to implement, but I think it might be a good thing to think on for future Feb events!

Additional suggestions!

From Lunarmoon - the mating encounter is hidden behind a bush
From Taevali - the mating encounter is replaced by a black screen or a nsfw warning to prevent the player from skipping over the encounter by accident
From Fern [side] - this toggle or another one would also block out extreme gore like that seen in the March event

To restate, this would be a TOGGLE, so users that prefer the explore to be the same would simply not turn the toggle on. It would not affect their gameplay in any way.



This suggestion has 723 supports and 98 NO supports.

What popped into my head was the explore encounter with the image, but with a black "CENSORED" bar slapped on it. Not exactly the best idea, but it was funny in my head.

100% support! I would REALLY like to turn off the sex encounters when around family/friends. I dont see these sex encounters as NSFW as it is nature and feral lions. but i would appreciate if i could toggle on and off. especially the BDSM gear.

100% support! Im asexual and nsfw imagery with humans make me uncomfortable, not to mention literal animals. However, I still want to be able to take part in the event and not just hide the event's activity. It would also be a great option to hide the nsfw images when in public, so people don't see the bizzare lion imagery lmao

The art doesn’t make me uncomfortable but I can absolutely see how it could make some feel that way 100%!! Supported! ^^

Also side note: Firenkyo, your post sounds great and you did a wonderful job writing it and explaining your points!! 💜

As a mother. I CANNOT explore in February or March around my kid. I am literally looking over my shoulder to ensure he doesn’t see the screen of my tablet. So I 💯 % support this and think it’s a great idea. I don’t want to traumatize my son with sex and violence before he understands the nature of these things. He is very young still. I too am not fond of seeing the graphic nature of the content. I can remember years ago when I first started playing I was shocked at the art! I just didn’t expect it. But having the option to turn it off would be amazing! Sign me up!

I think this is a great idea! It gets so awkward to play in public and grinding events like February’s I kinda get sick of seeing the repetitive animal mating imagery. I know it’s a 16+ game but feel like it’s reasonable, at the very least, to be uncomfortable with it.

I've already responded here in support, but I just had to say that your profile image is perfect for this topic, Samantha

Coming back here to bump this for more views ~ I'm going to be watching my niece today and it will be harder to explore while she's here due to the sexual images not being an optional thing to see. Hoping the Liogods hear our pleas!

While the art itself could hardly even be considered erotic or really suggestive (mating animals ilustrated or not don't count for a very good reason, as suggesting that it's there to potentionaly arouse people is uh, not good) they do depict intercourse and that's not something all prople will be comfortable with, either concerning themselves or others regardless.

I'm ace, couldn't care less for the pictures as it's really not graphic and not proportionnally a whole lot, but a toggle can't hurt anyone. I agree it would be usefull to have a general explore or event image blocker to select manually, although some presets could also help if you don’t want to comb through them.

I'd also agree it's a good idea to still have a visual reminder.

You could turn the mating encounters into two shoddily drawn stick lions holding hands/j

I actually think the stick figure lions would be ridiculous

"Woah!! These two lions totally aren't censoring something!"
Then the relevant options for the encounter it's censoring

I think its is a good idea, not only for Feb or March for the sexual themes or gore. But some people don't like themes of other events but still enjoy the event currency and shop items. Some explore encounters are just a lot for them.

Would it be better to make it be like a month by month choice to censor? Or make it like the choice to see pregnant lions or not and like "turn on" image censor?

very disappointed that the devs did not acknowledge this whatsoever. No mention or thought of a poll to determine a solution to this like you've suggested
