    Make sure that mountain is free of any trees before taking that scenic picture.

    This essentially bans all photography - it’s fucking weird.

      Nah, you just have to photoshop X eyes and a stuck out tongue on every living thing. They didn’t say anything about dead things.

      I wonder where the limit is.

      Like is it just photos or all depictions? If it’s all depictions, how far does it go? Will certainly combinations of letters be banned? :O :P :) \o/

      If so, will kanji be banned as well? We Lemmings all know this one by now

      :.|:;

      And I don’t know any actual kanji but I do know lots of their origins are depictions of living things, plants, animals, people.
