<p>WEBTOON™ is more than comics.
We are a diverse community of creatives, illustrators, artists, writers, and fans.
We are a storytelling destination that pushes the boundaries of creativity, art, and narrative.
We value inclusivity and authenticity, and as a platform, WEBTOON strives to provide a safe and welcoming space for all creators and readers.
To ensure this, we have outlined our community policy below.</p>
