Intellectual property

How Flamify handles named characters, real people, deepfakes, and copyrighted worlds.

Named characters and copyrighted IP

Flamify does not host characters drawn from copyrighted intellectual property. This includes:
  • Named characters from a series, comic, game, show, or film (e.g. “Naruto”, “Lara Croft”, “Hermione Granger”).
  • Recognisable storylines, locations, or fictional worlds that belong to a specific franchise.
  • Scenarios that instruct the user to “play as” a copyrighted character.
  • Visual likenesses that are clearly intended to depict a copyrighted character, even if the name is changed.

What is allowed

  • Original characters in the style of a genre. Cyberpunk noir, magical academy, isekai-adjacent, space opera — all allowed.
  • Characters that evoke a vibe or archetype without using protected names, storylines, or visual identities.
  • Genre tropes, narrative structures, and setting conventions that are not themselves copyrighted.

Parody and transformative use

We leave narrow room for parody, satire, and clearly transformative work that references a copyrighted property without reproducing its specific characters or storylines. We apply this narrowly and case-by-case. When in doubt, the character will be rejected with an explanation, and the creator can adjust and resubmit.

Real people

Characters that are, depict, or are recognisably modelled on a real person are prohibited. This rule is detailed in Prohibited content → Real people and in Principles → Real people are off-limits. The rule covers:
  • Celebrities, athletes, public figures, politicians, internet personas.
  • Private individuals (named or visually identifiable).
  • Fictional characters whose appearance closely matches a specific real actor or model (deepfakes, face-swaps, or AI-generated likenesses).

Why this matters

The harm of non-consensual depiction scales with the realism of the model. Modern image models produce output that can be indistinguishable from a real photograph. Allowing real-person likenesses on a platform that generates adult content would mean non-consensual intimate imagery by default. We don’t do that.

Trademarks and brand names

Characters should not be branded with real company logos, trademarks, or brand names in a way that implies endorsement or official affiliation. Generic references to real-world products, companies, or locations in a narrative context (e.g. “she ordered a coffee at the café”) are fine.
