preteen

Definition

Preteen is a general age descriptor tag used for characters typically around 10 to 12 years old, representing the transitional stage between childhood and adolescence.

This tag is intended as a neutral age descriptor to enable more accurate searching, filtering and blacklisting. It does not and should not automatically imply NSFW or NSFL content.

Usage

Apply this tag to characters explicitly described or clearly depicted as preteen-aged.

This may include:

• late primary or early middle school settings
• early puberty or adolescence-stage characters
• transitional childhood-to-teen scenarios
• age-appropriate school and family contexts

This tag may be used on both SFW and NSFW bots for organizational purposes. However, if the bot contains sexualized, exploitative, or otherwise NSFL depictions involving preteen characters, appropriate NSFL tags such as underage, loli, or shota must also be applied.
