"I have never made skins, and I can easily see why in most of these got the no-"
Opinion discarded. They've never even made a skin before, what makes them qualified to talk about how easy the rules are to follow?

It doesn't take being a designer to see why the staff would have issue with hot demon girls near you.

I mean, SMR is basically saying that is 'egirl culture' and nothing sexual about it, but does no one remember all the porn site adds?

Click here for Hot Asian Girls Near you!
Click here for Hot X Girls Near You!

That is the FIRST thing I think of when I see 'Hot X Girls Near You!' because it was so prevalent before adblock.

So, yeah, I doubt that FR devs are going to believe that is meant to be 'innocent'.

The skin without that name could have been acceptable with maybe a little altering at worst. The intent by that name ruined it. And the second you attach that name to that skin, fine toothed comb time.

It sucks for the artist, but play stupid games...

That was my thought. Maybe with a different name, the clothes could have slipped through, but once they framed it as a 'hot girl' outfit, can they blame the mod for seeing it that way?

Shoot, 'Hot Girl' on its own would have been pushing it, but still maybe able to pass, but 'Hot Demon girls near you'? (which if I recall was what the entire title said?)

The person who did it is saying that it is based upon a song, but for some reason I am wondering where the song got the phrase...

Yes, the title was "Hot Demon Girls Near You" which is baffling

Egirl culture is very sexual though. Why try to be so coy about things? It’s just so disingenuous

Thanks, I didn't know enough about 'egirl' culture to know, because I had literally never heard of it until yesterday :P

This!
I had issue with that skin, because it was first one presented and was thus most memorable. And of all the skins that might have been declined for stockings but didn't have any inuendos, they put one named Hot Demon Girl Near U or whatever it was as the first point of the thread.
Why put ol' times porn popup ad and argue that is it NOT inherently sexual?
