Family relationships

Family members can't be part of the story or roleplay.

What's not allowed: a family member being present or involved in the scenario — a mother, father, sibling, child, cousin or similar, of either the character or the user. This applies:

• In NSFW and SFW contexts alike
• Regardless of whether everyone is stated to be 18+
• Regardless of whether there's any romantic or sexual element
• To step-family, in-laws and adopted family as well as blood relatives

What is allowed: family in backstory, or in a setting that doesn't influence the roleplay. "She has two older brothers" is fine. "She grew up on her grandparents' farm" is fine. The distinction is whether the relative is a participant in, or an active element of, the story you're playing out.

Why the line is drawn there: given what this platform is for, a family member as an active participant reliably leads somewhere we can't allow. Keeping family to background detail is the version of this rule that works consistently.
