Can a manga contest's judges disqualify your submission for containing "inapproriate" materials?
I'm making a one-shot for Young Jump's seinen manga contest.
https://youngjump.jp/seinenmangataisho.shueisha/
My one-shot contains 2-4 pages gang-rape scene in it.
The explicity level is something akin to Wolf Guy's.

The submission website doesn't state what sort of content that is prohibited for submission, so the worst case scenario for now is they could asked me to revise or to remove the gang-rape scene if I won the contest.
IF I won.
The mangaka of Sundome Milky Way, Kaguya-sama, and Tokyo Ghoul once joked about "4-pages sex scene rule" saying that it's OK to depict sex for as long it's not continously or consecutively drawn for more than 4 pages.

However, referencing a more recent example:
https://tonarinoyj.jp/episode/2550912965879572461
could indicate that Young Jump's editorial being more lenient with portraying sexual contents now.
But another case of Tsunashima Shirou's cancellation of Jinrouki Winvurga from Champion Red, and Oikawa Tooru who cancelled his own manga to then re-serialize it again in Akita Shoten's Young Champion so he can draw more lewder scene indicates that the censorship in the manga industry is getting tighter somehow.
But then there's another case of Hamada Kosuke's Re Cervin from Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits. The absolute madman redrew the entire first tankoubon and add a sex scene that looks straight out of a eromanga.
Get a feeling so complicated.
Does anybody here have any experience or any connection with Japanese's editors regarding this topic?
