It's G (I think) other than the text. Do we rate text these days?

That image isn't G at all even without the text, too much focus is blatantly put on sexualizing the subject of the image between the oversized breasts, the tightness of the clothes against said breasts, the angle emphasizing the breasts and ass, etc. I would almost certainly get banned from a Christian server if I sent an image like that there.

Though even if the rest of the image wasn't suggestive, I'd still say the text lowers it to S since one must imagine sexual language like "titfuck" does not fall under the mild profanity described as being G-appropriate in howto:rate.

First one is borderline. Her pussy is covered by her pubic hair but some would argue that doesn't count. She isn't actually using her dildo but some think that type should count as a penis.

Second one is Q no questions.

Yes, we've been doing that ever since the G rating was created. Theer's nothing SFW about direct references to blatant sexual acts.

Regardless of the dildo, that amount of pubic hair shown is plenty for E. Pubic hair only qualifies for Q when it's subtle.

It is pubic hair in standing full-frontal nudity without a special focus on the crotch, it is a textbook example of Q (putting aside the dildo). I'm not sure why the amount of pubic hair matters at all, pubic hair isn't mentioned under E.

q or s?

I think a peek like that falls under S, even if it is implied no panties.

Penis-shaped dildos aren't mentioned under E either. Howto:rate is not an exhaustive list. And the statement under Q applies for both genitalia and pubic hair:

Visible vulva or pubic hair, if subtle and not blatantly exposed, such as in standing full-frontal nudity.

The more hair that is visible, the harder it is to keep it subtle. Regardless of whether you think this case in particular is subtle enough, pubic hair is often considered to be as inappropriate as genitalia, so the original argument that pubic hair covering the genitals somehow makes it less explicit doesn't work. If post #11468192 qualifies for Q, it likely still would even if she were completely shaved.

I don't know why you cropped the rest of the guideline from howto:rate.

"Blatantly exposed" means spread legs, spread pussy, presenting own/another's body, anything focused on the crotch, and anything where the pussy is fully visible.

Because I knew people would treat those as strict limitations for what counts as "blatantly exposed" when they're not. The point of that guideline was that rating barely visible pussies as E is overkill. But a full bush is highly visible from the front. There is no subtlety here. Same reason why we usually don't rate penises as Q; they're too visible even when they're not "blatantly exposed." I really don't see why large amounts of pubic hair would be considered that much closer to the SFW end of the spectrum than genitals. They're roughly at the same level.

See forum #333449 for evazion's statement on this guideline. And yes, I do see the irony in using a statement from a discussion in which I argued that this kind of content isn't an automatic E.

I try not to move the pin on ratings too much because as clearly demonstrated in my past replies here as well as more recently topic #35840 there are some cases where I have difficulty interpreting the line when a post is bordering between two ratings but I would've sooner thought post #11468192 should be E for the toy. It's always been a bit weird to me how it can fluctuate between Q or E depending on if it's attached to a person as flesh or held as a silicon toy. The presence of the hair doesn't feel very E to me, in spite of the rating text.
