* All official teasers for this banner have been removed from official YouTube

* 2 out of 5 “stic.k figure” teasers have been taken down on official TikTok

* **This is happening on the international server, not just CN**. I also tried to make TikTok edit of the stic.k figures, but I got account strike (It is just stic.k with audio!). If we repeat it, our account might get ban.

Still, the audio alone (heavy breathing, suggestive sounds) could be enough to triger social media's moderation systems and flag content. So if creators upload kindles or full story clips (YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Rednote, etc.), there’s a risk of account strikes or content restrictions for violating community guidelines.

To be clear: **I don’t think the kindles will be as explicit as people imagine**. The developers obviously have limits they can’t cross. (I used to joke about wanting LADS to go full explicit, but obviously I don’t actually want any devs to go to jail lol). **Most likely, we’ll get a first-person perspective (MC POV) that avoids showing too much visually. And MC and LIs still wear a lot of swimsuit!**

Although I’m not from China, my country also has strict censorship, and I can think of some worst-case scenarios:

1. In many regions, the game’s age rating is only 12+ or 13+. Even though LADS is clearly aimed at adult women and 17+/18+ in home country, the rating system and local regulations in each region don’t always reflect that. People outside the fandom (especially parents) might view the content, see the rating and think it is not appropiate for minors, and report the game, which could lead to it being removed in some regions.

2. **The content can be taken out of context and used to shame women’s interests** (similar to how period trac.ker were moc.ked by incels). If it goes viral in the wrong circles, it could become very annoying.

3. **Leaked intimate storylines can easily be taken out of context, causing drama and bac.klash from outsiders.** This could lead to mass reporting, forcing the developers to censor/change card art or story content. Papergames has a history of editing content after release, and LADS has already nerfed some elements before (Sylus's junior). I think in China LADS already have many haters and uhm online gender wars so the game can easily get reported by rivals or haters or incels).

So I suggest: if you can, **pull the card as soon as the update drops and screen-record it.** But remember, **don't upload kindles or full story content on social platforms**, you might receive account strikes or restrictions for violating community guidelines.
