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 716 supports and 96 NO supports.

damn lmao.... I will NEVER understand people being so against toggle that won't affect their gameplay, at all. I used to be very offput by february - I mean, I still am but I got lil numbed and just go thru explore. you can be adult and not want to see animals in sexual act? it doesn't matter if it is drawn or documentary or realistic to portray, why people have issues with others not wanting to see such imagery I just can't understand.

def support.

a toggle to keep everyone happy? I may be all for the insanity and the memes but if it makes more people happy for a toggle to exist I'm all for it...

Support for anything to help with the situation. As it is, I do block images that make me uncomfortable on desktop, but for mobile I have to zoom in the Explore page to only be see the text and the Explore paw during Feb/March/Oct(when siding with angels)/Nov to avoid nsfw/disturbing imagery, especially at work. Which sucks because that means missing the other artwork.

I would prefer, though, if it's something like the Marking Censor - where you can pick and choose which encounters you don't want to see. Having preset lists for gore and sex would be convenient and helpful, especially if they update as the site does, but everybody's line is in a different place, and it'd be useful to block/unblock the Explore images as we see fit.

BIG support! I tend to play Lioden in public due to how often I'm away from home, and the February event is just ... really unsuitable for this. I personally don't fancy sexual topics either way, so having a toggle like this would greatly improve my experience.

I'm not too bothered by the intimate stuff but 100% support this for a better experience for those who it affects!
As for me I'd love to be able to hide the gore mentioned in the March event, as that kind of stuff does disturb me and even the amount of it found in the January event had me cringing.
Please make this a reality Lioden!

I just hadn't thought to make a suggestion before, and I didn't know that so many people would support it earlier.
Why does it matter how long I've been playing? Am I not allowed to get weirded out by something, or suggest something for others who get weirded out by it once I've played for a certain amount of time?

Weird ass point

Doesn't matter how long you've been playing. Personally this probably could've been suggested wayyyyy earlier but it is still a very good suggestion that i wish the devs would acknowledge.

Yeah, big support! The encounters don't bother me personally, but when I'm in public playing the game during February (which is often, gotta be on that heartshell grind!) I feel really self-conscious It would be great if I could turn them off so my friends don't have to see all that when they look over my shoulder lmao
