Specifically this part https://e621.net/static/code_of_conduct#extremecontent

  • Do not upload or link to real-life material featuring animal genitalia or animals in sexual situations.

The wording is unclear to me.

Is it allowed to link or mention university websites or titles of scientific papers, that feature medical dissections of real animals?
Should I even mention the references used to draw medical diagrams of animal reproductive systems?

The rules is exactly what it says on the tin, don't link to that specific content
just mentioning a university or medical journal is not anywhere close to that

Thanks for the clarification for the mentioning part, I wanted to be sure that there wasn't any other rules that I missed regarding that.

Though, to me the rule wording is a bit ambiguous. It sounds like linking such content in non-sexual context is allowed.

But I can see two interpretations
1. No animal genitalia, No animals in sexual situations
2. No animal genitalia in sexual situations, No animals in sexual situations
