Tag description
Proposed

A fetish where public nudity or public indecency is normal and treated as a casual everyday activity. "Zenra" is a Japanese word, literally translated as "completely nude". Zenra imagines a world where nudism is normal and people go about their everyday activities without paying any attention to their nudity. Others incorporate the nudity on a more conscious level by doing such things as playing "strip volleyball", where the participants must remove clothing each time the other team scores a point. In some cases sex and sexual acts are treated as a normal recreational activity, including in public places. Not to be confused with exhibitionism or nudism, where public nudity is not treated as a normal everyday situation.

Applied

A fetish where public nudity or public indecency is considered normal and treated as a casual everyday activity by society.

note I don't think any tag exists for this specific setup even though it's quite common. I like it, but it's hard to mix and match tags to find specifically these works.
staff Thanks all hopefully this description works well

Ok, I'll start tagging, this is going to take a while to hit 100+ ticks.

Honestly, I feel like this is just some kind of exhibitionist (I know op addressed this). But the term exhibitionist itself is a bit general and I would like something that is more specifis. I think instead of this, it's better to just make the tags for something like 'normalised deviation' so that we can just combine both tags (exhibitionist + ....) to achieve the same thing but more use case (for example: Public use + .../normalised deviation).

for the freeuse case, i think it kinda fit the bill in zenra term. does it need it's own tag? maybe. does it replace zenra? could be, but personally i prefer zenra more because from my experience, the topic of free use usually only just about someone or a couple of people consent of being available to use for sex, while zenra exploring more on the setting and plot

@zurui san i think it will encompass common sense change plot because it fit the term being proposed, although I don't know what the other things follow you mentioned. if it's the scale of effect or how it works, i think first one matter more in this case because there's a lot of way to setup the zenra genre

So... is it like change in common sense? Although yeah change in common sense would be including so many other thing

Yes, this is something that exhibitionism alone does not do it justice. To be normal for nudity in every day life and enjoying the thrill of being seen in public while commiting a sexual act are SO different. It's real hard to find gems that are specifically zenra.

Isn't this just Freeuse or Hypercasual?

By casual nudity do you mean nudity outside of a sexual context (like naturism)?

I like this one, but I feel like I'm missing another type of tag, similar to "mind control" where characters engage in sex like normal activity but without actually being mind controlled, just like a normal everyday thing. With a correct tagging of "nudity" or "public nudity" plus a tag of making it normal and accepted would do the trick and could be used to tag many more doujins.

One, this proposal was posted at the time when the guidelines weren't as clear-cut so chill on the roasting of the long description. And two, I've already posted a shorter description a few comments below - if you can provide a better description then sure.

You've already addressed it, but I gotta say something... You should have put the huge description in the NOTE section, and followed the guidelines for the TAG DESCRIPTION Descriptions Short and factual. One or two sentences

Don't the Japanese use terms like "common sense alteration" or some shit? It's like a sub sect of hypnosis but on a global scale, or the world bends to create the perverted situation. Like but the series isn't found here

I feel like this isn't already well known (I didn't know about it at all) but night be similar to the popular "Free-Use" tags on other sites that mostly do western live-action porn. Would that also be accurate? Would it also merit it's own tag?

I mean, I think "nudism" is pretty close to it, but it's more like just a part of it. So "zenra" is still much better since it's a broader term just to clarify, as @pervert9001 said, nudism is about treating nudity as normal, which is in fact very different from exhibitionism. "zenra" is just about making nudism the normality in a broader setting (such as a village, country or the whole world). The main difference is that zenra also includes other forms of indecency (as far as I understand from the description) which could include public sex, which is something that's uncommon in a pure nudism setting

Yes, as I said below: "The description is just copied from danbooru, for nhentai probably first sentence is enough. I just included it fully for why it's worth having." And no, nudism/naturism/exhibitionism is different as I explained.

@Playwright Lorde Not everyone here can read Chinese you know. It can be easily be passed as a normal exhibition doujin if we can't read the context. Anyway, next time post the English version preferably.

Yes, as I said below: "The description is just copied from danbooru, for nhentai probably first sentence is enough. I just included it fully for why it's worth having." As for adding /nudism - I think it makes more sense to keep nudism separate.

Too long, a better one would be something like this. "Zenra a Japanese word for complete nude" When nudity is a common place and a large part of societal norm and treated as an everyday occurrence."

Anyway, I don't think that this tag suggestion will be created anytime soon, not until the definition for the exhibition tag itself is clearly fleshed out first. Admins should feel free to do otherwise. describe exhibitionism accepted

Another sports-oriented zenra I can think of is - but sadly the full English translated AND colored version got nuked. (Why is it that just about every good zenra tankoubon listed so far got nuked? lmao)

OP was right on saying zenra is quite a common genre. Typing "zenra" alone in the search bar yields hundreds of results (had to filter out the exhibitionist genres and the artists with zenra in their names though) and there are works like the ones already mentioned in the previous comments that are not so obvious. The ones I find include: - no sex and funny, but definitely zenra - dreamworld zenra Granted, there are entries that blurs the classic zenra definition as well. It is to be expected, as numerous mangaka constantly push themselves to innovate. Examples include: - they're still wearing outer clothes but have public sex so might as well - a zenra island where the genders are segregated

@Aestios There's no public nudity tag as of yet, the [exhibitionism] tag currently handles it. As posted by OP in his tag description, zenra is distinct from exhibitionism. Public nudity and public sex tags alone won't hit the zenra genre because it can also describe exhibitionism as well. [public use] meanwhile tag is primarily meant to be used for people whoring themselves like and not lovey-dovey sex like .

Could "Public Nudity" be used as a possible alternative? As other commentators have pointed out some series have Zenra wherein it's considered a accepted societal norm (# and # ) and others have it where it's artificially enforced as part of a hypnosis plot (Saimin Seishidou). Zenra as tag basically means "Completely Nude" in the context that nudity is considered normal within the work itself. We already have "Exhibitionism" for people who expose themselves naked and "Public Use" for public sexual interactions. If we want we can just add more tags to describe the particular "type" of Zenra that happens.

What a great story. You know, they should allow people to create personalized public favorite lists. And give them a ranking. Do you know where I can send that request?

@Xx155681xX Plot says it is the town's custom so technically yes, but doujinshi like that has their own primary tags - [public use] and [glory hole]. Zenra's significance for this particular one is minimal because there is barely any public exposure. Similar doujin:

Does this work fall under the category?

An interesting scenario that I'm glad has a tag to make it easier to search. I suppose -"mind control" can be used to exclude artificially induced zenra, and "nudity only" tag included to remove sexual acts.

cool, thanks for answering 40-sai archwizard. what i can take is to categorize works in this tag, it would be depending on 2 factors, the scale of zenra and people behaviors then. i hope this tag can be applied so works with zenra theme won't get dilluted among other less fitting tags

@Octrice's Stocking "is it correct if my interpretation of this would be anything involving sexual will be treated as normal, regardless of the causes?" Mostly yes, as long as onlookers are sane or at least are acting like so as a result. This can pose a problem when describing a setting where onlookers are also hypnotized - imo if the onlookers are stiff with no reaction whatsoever or going mindless monkey zombies in heat then it fails the zenra litmus test.

Ok, I'll take your comments into consideration @pervert9001 @Aelter "Zenra, translated as "completely nude" in Japanese, is a term where in a given society setting nudity and/or sexual activity in public is the norm, either as already built into the story setting, artificially induced, or otherwise. Not to be confused with exhibitionism where public nudity and sexual activity is not treated as a normal situation." artificially induced = mind control; government-sponsored decree otherwise = isekai'ed; brought into remote island, town, etc. I have to keep things short so I shortened the above.
Octrice's Stocking
Octrice's Stocking
also personally this is a good specific tag to differentiate from public sex tag, which used to tag anything involving outdoor sex regardless
40-sai archwizard
40-sai archwizard
I think one of the differences between zenra and exhibitionism is based on the onlookers' reactions. Like: exhibitionism - onlookers go "Nani, wtf!?" (see pages 31-38) zenra - onlookers go "Meh, it's just Tuesday." (see the aforementioned ) Just putting this out for when tagging zenra in the future once it gets accepted. Don't want to see the mess like what they did with ugly bastard tag (not all ugly are bastards smh).

is it correct if my interpretation of this would be anything involving sexual will be treated as normal, regardless of the causes? example: hypnosis, alternate world, implementation of rules/common sense in places, reverse moral

Thank you Archwizard! Then I am confident in my understanding of it! I've read plenty of stories that differs like this, and they are so common that I was thinking it was weird that they weren't mentioned in most of the definitions online. Archwizard, could you alter your description slightly somehow, so people like me won't misunderstand 'zenra'?
40-sai archwizard
40-sai archwizard
Honestly I don't know much about zenra other than the description, but from what I can garner even just the context of a particular scene matter. @Aelter 1. Saimin Seishidou (another nuked series) comes to mind. Zenra here started off as just a localized incident wherein ugly bastard MC used hypnosis to change the surrounding onlookers' perception on sex and nudity. 2. I think would work as zenra, although there may be an argument over whether just nudity and no public sex (with LOTS of onlookers) is enough.
Aelter
Aelter
Two questions from someone who has little knowledge about zenra... 1. Does this include or exclude "change in common sense" types of works? 2. Can some characters be aware of the absurdity? Like those works where the MC goes to a remote village or island. Or those works where a new girl is flustered by the school's "nude rule".

40-sai archwizard's description is much better. (Also, nudism _is_ about treating nudity like it's totally normal and not inherently sexual, so that part doesn't even make sense.)
40-sai archwizard
40-sai archwizard
Shortened description suggestion: Zenra, translated as "completely nude" in Japanese, is a term where in an imaginary world nudism and sexual activity in public is the norm. Not to be confused with exhibitionism where public nudity is not treated as a normal everyday situation. Example: . Great manga and anime series btw. Sadly the English translation got nuked. Would be great if similar series can be tagged as compensation.

"Voyeurism is the act of gaining sexual pleasure from secretly watching unsuspecting people who are naked, undressing, or engaging in sexual activity." So not really fitting.
