Explicit Guidelines
Quote Content
Quotes that contain strong language, sexual references, or other mature themes must be marked Explicit upon submission. Explicit quotes are permitted on TypeGG, provided they remain suitable for the platform. If a quote is too graphic, explicit, or distressing to appear on the platform, it cannot be submitted or ranked in any form.
Material that is pornographic, excessively violent, or promotes hate is never permitted.
Sensitive subjects such as sexual assault, rape, suicide, or self-harm may only be referenced when presented with restraint and clear literary, historical, or artistic relevance. Graphic or sensationalized depictions are not allowed.
| Type | Allowed on TypeGG? | Explicit? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mild profanity (e.g. "damn", "hell", "crap", "bastard") or slang | Yes | No | Acceptable when natural in context and true to the source. |
| Strong profanity (e.g. "fuck", "shit", "bitch", "cunt") or explicit sexual language | Yes | Yes | Allowed when appropriate to the original work (e.g. film dialogue, literature). |
| Graphic sexual content or pornography | No | — | Never permitted under any circumstance, even if flagged. |
| Violence or gore | Sometimes | Yes | Permitted only when integral to artistic, historical, or narrative context. Not allowed if excessive, gratuitous, or disturbing in detail. |
| Sexual assault, rape, suicide, self-harm | Sometimes | Yes | May appear only when referenced with restraint and clear literary or historical purpose. Never allowed if graphically depicted or described. |
| Hate speech or slurs | No | — | Always prohibited, regardless of context or source. |
| Drug/alcohol references | Yes | Yes | Allowed when relevant to the source material and not promotional or glorifying. Must be flagged as Explicit. |
Source Thumbnails
Source thumbnails follow the same rules as quote content, with the additional requirement that nudity of any kind is strictly forbidden. If a source thumbnail is deemed Explicit, then all quotes under that source are flagged as Explicit, even if the quote content itself is non-Explicit.
What Happens to an Explicit Quote?
Explicit quotes have reduced visibility on TypeGG. Quotes flagged as Explicit ineligible for Quickplay or the Daily Quote. They can still be found in the Quote Browser and Soloplay, provided you enable the "Explicit quotes" setting within the Quote Browser.
