Regarding Sketchfab models in the future and their wonky rulings. (Patreon)
Content
It seems that Sketchfab has a weird rule regarding nudity and adult rated models.
Their ToS states as follows:
What is Age-restricted (Age+) content?
Age-restricted content includes, but is not limited to, models that:
contain nude characters or partial nudity
that are erotic in nature (depicting sex or containingsexual implications, even when there is no nudity)
that depict drug usage
that depict extreme violence
are otherwise shocking or disturbing
Nudity depicted in statuary, antiquities, or a similar form that has been deemed appropriate for historic value and is or has been on public display in a gallery or museum is exempt.
Labeling new and existing work as Age-restrictedis the responsibility of the creator, and it is mandatory. The Sketchfab team will moderate cases where content categorization is debatable and reserves the right to make the final decision.
Age-restricted content will show theAge+ flagnext to the model name.
Unacceptable Content
Somematerial is never allowed: pornographic, threatening, harassing, libelous, hate-oriented, harmful, defamatory, racist, xenophobic, or illegal content. This includes explicit descriptions and/or links to explicit content, even if the related content has been marked as Age-restricted.
Here's the e-mail I recently recieved.
Hey again,
Just to follow up on my previous email, I noticed that a couple of your uploads include erect/semi erect penises:
Ezria's "Asset"
Xelthia's "Assets"
This is also not allowed - could you remove them for me?
Thanks!
And another one.
Hi,
We do not allow any pornographic content, including drafts, private models and password protected models. We already asked you to delete two models two days ago - please do this immediately.

So basically, it looks like I may or may not be able to post nudity, but none with erect penises, and not in an overly suggestive way, and it may or many not be allowed if it depict sex even if it's age-restricted.
The ruling here is not at all straight forward, so I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to, or will desire to stay on the platform. Apparently they didn't say that Keema was in violation of the rules--maybe it's just because she's a female model? I don't fuckin' know.
EDIT: On the upside, I'm looking into Marmoset viewer.
