• 1.1) Users are expected to be nice and maintain a decorum of civility.
• 1.2) Overly vulgar or creepy comments and content are not allowed. This community is not suited for such unpleasant behavior and content.
• 1.3) Politics, religion, and other controversial topics are not allowed. There are other communities for such topics; r/wholesomeanimemes is not one of them.

[Rule 2] Wholesome Anime-related Content

• 2.1) This community is intended for wholesome anime-related content.
• 2.2) For this community, “wholesome” is defined as:

• 2.2a) Positive and intended to promote the well-being of mind and spirit;
• 2.2b) Absent of ill-intended, malicious, or depressive elements; and,
• 2.2c) Contains a story/context to differentiate a post from a simple cute post (i.e., this community is not r/awwnime).

[Rule 3] Animemes

• 3.1) This community is intended for wholesome animemes (anime memes).
• 3.2) Animemes determined to be too low-effort or insubstantial in their quality are subject to removal. This includes reaction posts, description posts, and posts with simple and uncreative edits.

[Rule 4] Anime and Sources

• 4.1) This community also permits unedited, non-animeme works that originate from anime, manga, and miscellaneous anime-styled works (e.g., self-made anime comics, fanworks/parodies/doujins). Please use the proper flair for these posts – “Wholesome Anime,” “Wholesome Manga,” or “Wholesome Anime-styled Work.”

• 4.1a) Note: “Doujins” (or doujinshis) refers to self-published manga that can be either original or parody works. They do not necessarily mean R-rated works.

• 4.3a) This is not a source-finding community. Hence, any source-requesting posts will be removed, even if someone else provides a source in the comments.
  

• 4.5a) This limit resets every Sunday at 00:00 UTC.
• 4.5b) Unused submissions do not accumulate for future use.

• Posts may be removed for one or more of the following reasons:
• 5.1) Posts must not be text-only or text-heavy.
• 5.2) Posts must not be in low resolution (e.g., post too small, “grainy” image).
• 5.3) Posts must not contain any visual obstruction (e.g., online advertisement, notifications, large watermark, substantial filler space).
• 5.4) Posts must not rely on the title to work.
• 5.5) Posts must not have an inappropriate or effortless title.
• 5.6) Posts must not redirect users to view the post.
• 5.7) Posts must not use the wrong flair.

[Rule 6] No NSFW and R-rated Content

• 6.1) Hentai, nudity, and other pornographic elements are not allowed. r/wholesomeanimemes is not r/wholesomehentai or r/wholesomehentaimemes (or any other NSFW/R-rated content-sharing community). Regardless of whether or not they depict explicit material, posts that are suited for the latter communities will be removed, such as content from R-rated websites (e.g., nHentai) or memes referencing R-rated material.
• 6.2) Sexually suggestive posts (i.e., horny posting) are not allowed.
  
• 6.3) Mildly suggestive materials in posts are okay as long as their depiction is appropriate. Such posts must be tagged as “NSFW.”

• 9.2) Posts with overlaps from existing submissions will be treated as a repost unless they substantially distinguish themselves from existing submissions. Minor, inconsequential differences (e.g., better resolution, a few more frames) are not enough to treat a post as a separate entity from an existing submission.
