remember tags are picture specific. there's no violence happening here, hence non_violent tag. If she was getting the snot beat out of her in the next picture, this current picture would STILL get the non_violent tag even if it gets tossed in a series or a pool.
This distinction was made years ago to please the family_friendly crowd, who don't want to search for pictures that are remotely violent. They can use the family_friendly tag.
For people who don't mind stuff that are potentially abusive, they can use the non_violent tag. Everything else that doesn't have these 2 tags are likely abuse oriented. If there's even a shadow of doubt that the picture could potentially be violent in the future, it would get the non_violent tag but not family_friendly.
So if the author tells us the picture is a one shot and not related to anything else, this could potentially get a family_friendly tag as well.
Man, I've just been binging on this artist; he is so great. Like, his art style is really simple, but his dialogue and scenarios are just awesome. I wish he'd actually make a story, though, and not all 1 or 2 page comics.
Non-violent seems to be for images where abuse can reasonably be expected to follow or has happened yet isn't being shown. Like an image from someone who is known to draw abuse or a yu acting like a shithead and you just know the artist isn't gonna let that fly.
AbyuseAddict: Might be hard to draw, but something involving a corrosive liquid (like drain cleaners). I've always wanted to see that.
