>>785845There are literally SO many platforms NSFW artists can post on. I for one am kind of tired of them acting like when a small scale website says "no nsfw" it's somehow oppressive to the art community in general. I like NSFW art but I totally understand why as a website with assumingly not a lot of staff you would want to keep art that can range from tasteful NSFW to loli coomer shit off your platform until you get your staff together and know the problems the sites going to have with a normal amount of art content.
Everyone complains that DA is just a fetish website but then turns around and complains when an art website decides they don't want NSFW. I dont get it. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Maybe I'm also bitter that NSFW artists can seemingly do so little (like draw -insert meme chatacter here- getting fucked) and cultivate a huge audience of people who just want to jerk off and that's it. Not sure if I automatically want those people coming in droves to a newish platform especially if this one doesn't want to become the new DA kek.

No. 786143
>>785851The issue is that Artfol initially allowed NSFW and then changed their mind after opening the app. If a website did the opposite, saying it was going to be fully SFW and then allowed porn and fetish art after opening, I would expect people to have the same complaints.
Not to mention, there isn't a lot. There is Twitter and Deviantart. Maybe Reddit but you can't do direct uploads on an NSFW profile, so you have to go through another website to upload. Almost no one genuinely uses DA to discover art since the mods are basically absent and the website is dead in the water. The reason people complain about DA is that it has no mods and there is no blacklist (or even extension) to try to filter some of it and IIRC, the block feature is pretty much broken. At least on Twitter, you can blacklist certain words, hashtags, etc, and Reddit is mostly contained to respective subreddits but most people suspect Reddit is going to do a full NSFW ban at some point in the future.
Not to mention, you can't even take commissions through PayPal for NSFW without being at risk of having your account removed
and PayPal withholding the money indefinatly and MasterCard is tightening their restrictions for adult content being sold that is no doubt going to affect drawn imagery. And Patreon actively monitors your off-site activity (even as far as a website like pixiv) for anything that isn't allowed on their services and will boot you off if you break their TOS on a different website.
and it sounds like bitterness cause the grass is always greener on the other side. Most artists who do that little already had relatively large fanbases and this is coming from someone that primarily does SFW with a NSFW side gig.
No. 786292

Yeah I don't watch all her videos, mainly just her story videos and it's just something I notice and it's to the point where I roll my eyes now whenever she feels the need to mention how she went through something "traumatizing" but "can't go into it". I'm just like "Shut up…" And again, I feel like an asshole for thinking this but in my experience with people who do this, they tend to exaggerate and I can't help but feel like Michie is doing the same thing.

I'm remembering how she said she wanted a part-time job that pays more than minimum wage because she "makes more than minimum wage" with her art (which I have to wonder how true that is). But yeah she was being ridiculous. She hasn't had a regular job in years and she expects to be able to find a job that pays more than minimum wage when she been out of work for a good while now?

>>786143All of this is only really an issue for NSFW artists. I dont understand how that effects all artists as a whole. Not everyone who posts art enjoys sharing a space with coomer content. Im not sure why every website has to cater to porn anyway if they're private businesses. Im not saying everyone has to use or like Artfol but this weird habit of people tearing down websites simply for the fact that they don't want porn on their site is strange to me.
I see plenty of NSFW artists thriving on twitter, instagram and reddit despite what everyone says about them "cracking down" tbh. I also don't think there's much merit to "well they were already popular before they drew NSFW" when I know of several no name artists off the top of my head that blew up when they drew NSFW animations. There's nothing wrong with drawing porn art but it's weird to me how if you're an artist you can't say you dislike NSFW art being mixed with SFW without being jumped on by other artists.

She said recently that she is going to finish it. In my opinion she is just doing too much work (her art improved, but when she started she said she wanted to do simple illustrations, and now it's way too detailled for her well being). She also faced a lot of criticisms and vendetta in my taste. I just wish she was a bit more open to not let her patreon in the dark. Her last kickstarter was highly successful so I guess she is remotivated. We will see.
No. 786787
>>786738Yeah that's shitty. Under $10 is too low in almost all cases unless it's a super quick sketch.
Commission pricing discourse pops up on art twitter all the time and the consensus seems to be "charge professional industry rates regardless of your skill and location because you deserve it". Kind of hyperbolic but you get the gist. I don't agree with that tbh. Professional artists can charge industry rates because they are highly skilled and professional, whereas so many twitter artists think it's acceptable to keep pushing off commissions for months to do personal work and take 30 mental health days a month. And the market for certain art styles like anime is just so oversaturated even if you are pretty good.
But honestly most of the time it's just a wiser choice to get a regular part-time job if you need money. Commissions are so fickle that unless you are really good or popular you shouldn't be relying on them for stable income.
No. 786807
>>786787I don't really care about the prices people are charging their clients because it's up to the customer to decide if they're being ripped off or not, but the general unprofessionalism on the artists' front is often mindblowing.

To add sth to the NSFW discussion, it sounds like some of you don't realize how much NSFW ban affects. Yes, it affects artists drawing straight up porn and I agree porn should be kept away from publicly accessible sites with no age limit, but it also affects any kind of nudity; Raphael would get banned for this despite his artwork being shown at schools and in the museums to people of any age because it's not erotic or pornographic. Making any non-sexual nudity a complete taboo and bannable offense is something that may even have infuence on society as a whole - I don't want to be dramatic and say "if we ban NSFW men will start raping women showing just a little bit of skin in their attire" but you sure see it's not that black and white.
No. 786856
>>786853This. I make art with a lot of nudity but it's not porn or erotic stuff, just things like your pic that sadly falls under the NSFW ban. I also always have to put a NSFW warning on sites that do allow it, which most of the time gets the piece less recognition because algorithms don't favour that kind of artwork.
>>786502Oh wow, it's almost as if NFTs are a scam.
No. 786888
>>786701As someone on both sides of the tracks, it's basically a website saying one then and turning around and doing another. Like I said if artfol marketed itself as completely SFW and then suddenly allowed NSFW content, I'd expect people to have the same complaints that it basically isn't what they signed up for.
You don't have to cater to porn or NSFW art, just don't do the bait and switch bs which is my primary issue with it tbh.

>>786888Samefag as but
>>786853>>786856I mostly draw pinup and even websites that say they allow artistic nudity can ban or remove something because they found it too sexual. They say they allow artistic nudity but don't give a guideline of what specifically counts as artistic vs pornographic nudity.
Would I be allowed to post my drawings of nude reference photos? Women who are just topless but not doing anything sexual? Would two nude women next to each other be considered too sexual? Even though nudity is allowed, to what degree? Just nipples? A vulva? Would something like what Happy D draws (Say what you want about her skills, she doesn't draw pornography) be banned or not allowed on the website even though it isn't pornographic? At one point DeviantArt said artistic nudity was allowed but you could still be banned if they deemed it "too sexual" or "too erotic" even if it fit within a general guideline of artistic nudity.
Like I've seen similar situations with YouTube, FFN, etc. where they say they allow certain content, but then still ban/censor/remove it. Like YouTube allows LGBT+ content but you can still get demonetized and get community strikes if it isn't advertiser/family-friendly and it's even extended to despite having an app specifically made for children, YT forces everyone on the primary app to be kid/family-friendly and can demonetize you if they incorrectly flag your content as "for children".
It's an issue for primarily NSFW artists yes dealing with payment processors, websites, etc. but not every NSFW artist is drawing coomer loli inflation. Some of us are just drawing regular nudity that is no more vile or graphic than paintings that are shown in schools and museums yet could still be de-platformed or risk losing access to money because of it.
>>786891And yeah basically this. It was a dick move and a lot of people had to specifically ask if NSFW was no longer allowed because they didn't notify anyone of the change in TOS. Even though no one reads a social media's TOS all the time, at least most websites make an effort to alert people to a change in TOS via email, in-app/website notification, etc. It was asked repeatedly if NSFW content would be allowed, to what degree, etc., and the devs all agreed and said yes yes yes only to change it 3 days into the opening of the app. Even though may have been largely because of Apple's bs content policies, it was also like no secret apple was like that so why would you even say yes to start with?
I think more people would have preferred the app only being on android or having to use a website as opposed to a bait and switch.
side note: the devs speak like children/teenagers and that honestly makes me want to use the app even less.

>>787130I never said I was oppressed, I'm just annoyed.

No. 787216
>>787130if the bar for being annoyed or miffed by something is whether or not you're oppressed by that logic no one can complain about being mildly annoyed or frustrated by anything unless it systematically affects them and others who are a protected class like damn.
>>787158and yeah this. Most artists are good faith and tag their content as best they can… Look at A03 and all the weird and NSFW stuff over there, most people tag their things in good faith and if a website provides a good tagging system, a lot of artists, SFW and NSFW like that cause NSFW artists get tired of being told we don't do enough to keep our content away from people who don't want to see it short of having a completely privated account and in some cases, even that isn't enough given how many artists like badtorquoise get called out for doing NSFW on a privated account and SFW artists will never have to see or interact with it.
places like DeviantArt got do bad with porn because there is no kind of filtration system or way of blocking tags/content you don't want to see and even blocking users can be completely broken since last I checked, they still have a limit to how many people you can block.
idk why its so hard for a website for artists to have a website that allows SFW and NSFW and just have a good tagging system so no one has to see anything they don't want to. Most people tag in good faith cause it helps people who want to see that kinda thing find it.

>>787530 said. TD = Twisted Disaster, a somewhat sizeable art/commentary channel who was best known for being friends with Holly Brown and also involved in the zine controversy that they both got into back in 2019 I believe.
Twisted Disaster's highlights aren't really as severe as some others mentioned in previous threads, the main issues with her is her lack of self awareness and more specifically, her lack of work ethic when it comes to commissions and her being overly dramatic when she claimed she was homeless back in 2019 when she wasn't, she was just living in her in-laws garage until they could find their own apartment after they had asked them to leave.
On the commission front, she pretty much does what your personal cow does only she got a huge influx of commissions because she kept saying she had emergency after emergency which created a bloated backlog that she's slowly getting through but has the gall to whinge about it when it was her own fault and it could be avoided if she issued refunds but in her words, "I just can't do that".
And then the cherry on top was when she said she was looking for part time work but wants a job where she makes more than minimum wage to justify gas money to get to and from work but refuses to work in places like factories because she can't stand for long periods of time lest her back pains (and her obesity) or computer office-type jobs because she doesn't want to be on a computer all day and then come home to do the same thing when she's working on art. And I'm sure you can see how dumb this all is.

Even when he was aware of being in the wrong after getting called out and being himself the holiest of thou over everyone else in the earth, he choose to disable replies because he's too afraid enough for his fragile ego that the backlash caused on him. The quote tweets for this one are entertaining enough to watch, with many people calling him out for not retweeting gofundmes or kofis for people in need that are not his friends, to another person calling him out for harassing an ex-friend of his for having a nsfw account, and a lesbian minor as well.

>>788340Honestly the problem is not that they wanted a big artist, the problem is that they said it out loud. In art industry it's very known that companies usually want to use artists that have more name to their belts in order to garner hype, hell this happens in zines all the time, where the bigger names have better chance of getting selected. The thing is though that even though some big artists get chosen only due to their numbers, smaller artist aren't barred out completely from applying and still have a chance of getting chosen if their art is deemed as good enough. This just flat out "bans" smaller skilled artists.
I would also add that this is kinda tacky anyway since you basically want art + influence for a price of a single commission, where usually you would need to either hire separately for these positions or offer a higher pay to accommodate for both of these things. Sure we don't know how much the commissioner is getting paid but assuming that it's a flat price you're basically trying to have your cake an eat it too. The better way would've been to open commissions for all and then just choose those higher follower count artist without flatout stating that. Everyone already knows it's being done, it's like an unspoken rule everyone understands and accepts even if they don't like it but that doesn't mean it should become acceptable criteria. It's like a collage openly admitting that they only want kids who's parents make certain amount of money. It happens regardless but shouldn't become a standard.

Going off of his recent tweets it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to call him going full lolcow in the recent future.

It doesn't matter where you go, the art community is always going to be filled with drama, you just need to tailor your experience with what you want to see. Easier said than done though. If artfol doesn't improve I'm out.

No. 791194
>>791148What are you talking about? That's the fucking truth, none of these virtue signaling dumbasses attack male coomers drawing heaps dodgier porn than any of these "pedo females" combined because they know their male coomer audience will stomp them to the ground and snip out all controversy. Female artists with a predominantly female audience lose their support immediately and have to come up with these retarded "actually I was abused as a child which is why I like this anime teen" posts and basically lay out their whole mental health history in their desperation to soften the blows even a little. The people attacking them feed on that shit, they know it's easier to bully female artists because women are socialized to avoid conflict. It is what it is and in case it's never recognized it can never be fixed.
And in case you're instead referring to the fact that the Artist Of the Day receiving cancellation is actually a male then you should know it's a FTM troon i.e. a woman

>>791403>They learn from toxic adults on the internet who show them it's okay do this over a fucking cartoon pairingThat's the thing. These kids are attacking (mainly female) artists left and right over muh cartoon characters and won't rest until the earth is scorched black, and they're learning it from the adults grooming them to be their personal attack dogs. There's always some adult behind their actions telling them that they're one of the good ones, they can be trusted, see how much they care for your kids' safety by calling these
abusive racist pedo bitches out etc. In reality they're most likely mentally ill, narcissistic, terminally online sad fucks who can't function with their peers and have to exploit minors for validation and admiration. They always have a graveyard of skeletons stuffed under their beds and probably an anonymous diaperfur account nobody knows about but it doesn't stop them from telling kids online that they should look out for anyone shipping their NOTP because that's the sign of a pedophile.
It's dangerous in both giving out false information on how to actually recognize red flag behavior and also because inevitably they're going to piss off the wrong hombre and end up ruining their own lives instead. But no, it's always about "letting pedos know their place uwu" while discord groomers run free behind their backs.

and most importantly, it is false info on how to recognize red flags and
abusive/predatory behavior like anon said. like i dont understand the disconnect between showing censored ""cp"" to your majority underage audience but then calling the artist who drew it in the wrong even though if it were legitimately cp they wouldn't be able to post it censored.

No one even wants to say that though in fear someone will take them saying "calm down its just a drawing" to mean "I love rape/incest art and I wish there was more of it". Its fucking insane.
I'm not saying I agree with the weird porn fandom artists draw but whatever happened to just… clicking away when you saw something you didn't like? Actual predators like Sh*dman exist on twitter producing the most vile content but these teens and wokesters just want to attack artists that are "attackable". Morality is moot. There's no point in attacking someone whos fully accepted their degenercy but they'll drag someone who actually cares about their reputation through the mud for the thrill. Honestly fuck them where are there parents while they sit doom scrolling through 18+ NSFW twitters anyway?
No. 792083
>>792064NTA but yes? BL is extremely popular with lesbian women, the fandom is filled with women.
>>792081Saying you can't be a lesbian because you like yaoi is like saying you can't be a lesbian if you use a strap-on for sex since it's "still a dick imitating a male body part". If anything lesbian stuff is more of a sign of a male AGP transbian fetishist at this point, it's completely overtaken by heterosexual scrotes and BL is literally the only genre they can't sexualize under male gaze.
No. 792094
>>792083That analogy isn’t so good though…The strap-on is for the feeling; yaoi, at least the kind with relatively manly men like Columbo draws, uses the whole muscular male form.

No. 792115

No. 792179
>>792160>>792174Statistics say straight women prefer lesbian porn over straight porn. By your logic, that would make most heterosexual women lesbian or bi. But since the reason is that in lesbian porn the attention is solely on pleasing a woman, that's actually more appealing than watching often male-oriented straight porn where the woman gets choked, slapped, fucked raw without protection etc. The same applies to BL, it's all existing in an universe created by women to appeal to the taste defined by the experience of growing up and living your life as a female.
I'm not trying to fight you on your little headcanon because it's futile, unless you're a lesbian fujo yourself you will never understand the sum of variables that lead you to the lifestyle but attempting to take away someone's sexuality card based on the fictional media they consume is a step beyond retarded. Most fujos aren't interested in gay shit because "squee two males how wonderful", the experience is created by a tight-knit network made of other women with similar experiences, free of male presence and oppression, free of expectations based on female sexuality including the objectification of women in erotica. That's also why these "antis" are conditioned to see fujos as the archetypal evil, they're women who dare to explore and establish their sexuality without feeling ashamed.

Most guys in BL look very effeminate. The "top" characters look like tall butch lesbians, while the "bottom" characters look like tomboys, and I don't think that's a coincidence. In Japan, it seems like actual gay men are into bara. Wouldn't most fujos just force their way into those spaces if it was really about creeping on gay guys?

>>792281I discussed this topic with my lesbian friend yesterday, and we think that:
No scrote actually acts like 2D men

Anime girls have zero to no personality in most cases, they're blank things for scrotes to project their fetishes
So what do women do? relate to the 2D men
And now a very big tinfoil that I'm lazy to explain: 2D men are butch coded. This is why butches like 2D men.

>>792263I actually think the more dull/sexless yuri is made by straight women, now that you say that.
>>792281That's honestly the reason why I was into yaoi. The guys looked like butches and baby boidykes, the writing had a ton of female energy behind it. It was easy to not give any shits about the content.
I knew "straight" women who'd do "yaoi" scenes in cosplay with other women. They had an internalized lesbphobia and probably didn't realize it.
You're right; in Japanese media, bara is associated with gay men. The absence of feminity = gay.

Also I think they look "feminine" because they're based on how pretty japanese/asian men look. Like k-pop guys. Iirc the typical shoujo BL look that was popular in the 70s and 80s is inspired by a very pretty western actor though.

No. 792365
>>792319I disagree, because men have never been shamed for being attracted to women, while lesbianism and bisexuality are typically shamed or outright erased.
Plus, most guys into traps are just coomers who fried their brain on so much porn that they need the added novelty of a woman with dick to get off.
I'd argue BL is a proxy for often shamed, repressed female/female attraction and sexuality. It's almost euphemistic, and the male bodies aren't even accurate to actual male bodies (self-lubricating asses lol). Actual female desire is downcast and seen as dirty (especially when it's not in service to males), so the "solution" is guys-but-not-really-guys acting out the fantasies women would be able to express if they were given more freedom/safety. There's no such nuance in "trap" hentai, OTOH. It's pretty straightforward faggotry and coomerism.

In the end at least the Asian part of BL seems to write the best male characters, better than the ones we have IRL.
>>792366> Claiming said anons are bisPlease, calm down.
No. 792375
>>792360Because male and female sexualities developed differently. Men don't have to be subjected to objectification, fetishization and sexualization since early puberty while also being repressed and shamed for it. They aren't disturbed by being thought of as sexual beings. They aren't being reminded of how they're expected to be sexually subservient to their partner of the opposite sex. They don't have to be afraid of being raped or sexually abused. They don't have to go through these experiences during their youth and young adulthood which are amplified tenfold if you're not heterosexual. Men can enjoy porn of their self-insert power fantasy avatar fucking a mountain of women because they feel immensely powerful being sexual. Women don't have that privilege. The ones with the most traumatizing experiences regarding their gender, especially the non-genderconforming ones, usually don't like inserting into the sexual situations in media. That's why they prefer reading erotica with male only characters that are still feminine enough for them to resonate with. I really, really don't understand why this is such a far-fetched idea to people other than maybe men themselves.
Not all lesbians like this female-created gay genre. Not at all. Some enjoy lesbian media only because they don't find the appeal in male characters. But almost all of those who do like this very specific, niche, fictional, romanticized genre are lesbians.

But what is the next gayest thing they can do?
Kiss and date other women who pretend to be yaoi anime men

I enjoy if the men are written to be more romantic, fluffy and charming, like the perfect guy a woman would want, I like the equal dynamic the male characters can have so I can "experience" a healthy relationship through fiction and I guess that makes me even more of a lesbian.

I'm not saying there aren't lesbians enjoying fluffy BL, I'm just saying that the majority of BL fans are people strongly into men.
>>792427A man isn't feminine just because it isn't a buff hairy ape anon. And liking some "feminine" men certainly doesn't make a woman a lesbian, especially if there's sex scenes with dicks involved. If it does for you that's cool, I just don't think that's how it works.
Also, tell me how big bony dudes (yaoi hand memes, anyone) are even remotely feminine. The stereotypical ukes are also depicted with full male anatomy, their faces are just pretty and again, mostly based on asian features that tend to be a little softer or beautiful western young actors.

No, the 00's fujoshis weren't into women at all, in fact they usually despised female characters (why is a matter for another topic, but they sure weren't interested into rehabilitating them). The trope of 'evil ex girlfriend' trying to break up the gay couple was extremely popular kek. The loudest fujoshis were girls/women getting off on kawaii bishies fucking each other. Literally nobody would even consider that they could be bi/lesbian based on that since their interest in males was obsessive and sexual/romantic. This is some bizzare rewriting of history.

No, he doesn't look manlier than grown ass men in BL (picrel, totally feminine). I also didn't say I was attracted to the features of your picrel who scrotes like to call feminine, I'm just trying to explain things. Either you're baiting or you're a zoomer who doesn't know what they're talking about. I don't want to derail the thread now.
>>792486Stylization, anon. It's called stylization. Also clearly inspired by another type of look.
>>792502You're spouting bullshit. Literally anyone who was into BL and yaoi in the 00s remembers how mysoginy in the genre was rampant and how women characters were only used as some villain or a plain supporting character. The grown female authors made them that way. No one self inserted in them because they were bad and boring characters, instead girls who wanted to self insert would do so with the "uke" who was still a male but a bit softer in looks and personality.

>>792511No one has any sources here, we're all just shooting the shit.
IMO, a genre of androgynous, feminine males being in love is kind of bi-pandering in itself because it combines aesthetically pleasing characteristics of both sexes,
and it provides a level of detachment that both lesbians and straight women can enjoy, but it's a zero-sum game of just hetties vs lezzies in this war I guess, kek.
No. 792521
>>792511I mean, I feel like it's common sense that
most fujoshis aren't lesbians? right? Considering how small the lesbian population is + that it's male on male pornography (ie geared towards people who are attracted to males), there's just no way, right? Like it seems so obvious to me lol am I crazy? I'm not saying there are no lesbians into bl btw just that they're not the majority. Just like I'm sure
most people watching lesbian porn are straight men, even though straight women do watch it

>>792514There you go, some sources on BL being mostly a media consumed by het women (but also popular among bis and gay men)

>The female readership in Thailand is estimated at 50% as males also read gay manga,[5] and the membership of Yaoi-Con, a yaoi convention in San Francisco, is 50% female.[1] It is usually assumed that all female fans are heterosexual, but in Japan there is a presence of lesbian manga authors[6] and lesbian, bisexual, other or questioning female readers.[7] Recent online surveys of English-speaking readers of yaoi indicate that 50-60% of female readers self-identify as heterosexual.[8][9] It has been suggested that Western fans may be more diverse in their sexual orientation than Japanese fans and that Western fans are "more likely to link" BL ("Boy's Love") to supporting gay rights.[9] Much like the Yaoi readership base, the majority of Yaoi fanfiction writers are also believed to be heterosexual women. The reasoning behind this trend is sometimes attributed to patriarchy- that women who write yaoi fanfiction are in fact acting out heterosexual fantasies through these male figures.[10]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaoi_fandom#:~:text=Although%20the%20genre%20is%20marketed,this%20percentage%20at%20about%2010%25.

>>792622She's genuinely the biggest retard ever. She's been beefing with this Levihan shipper since fucking 2013 and their drama is still ongoing to this day. She legit claims to have PTSD and anxiety from it, how all the harassment online made her stop eating and she even had to go to the hospital over that,… which is so pathetic because this is all literally over a bunch of Attack on Titan ships. Just get over it and accept that there are people out there who will ship what you don't like, jfc this woman is around 23+ years old too. Whenever something happens, she's very quick to make it about herself, in this case it's the Columbo drama. Columbo got doxxed and of course Hanpetos had to run to her account to say how she's "scared for her life". Literally no one cares about her except for the imaginary people who harass her on a daily basis.
The Levihan shipper who frames her to be some "abuser" and "stalker" is pretty retarded too. Kins Hanji to the extreme and has an entire furry OC made after her where she self inserts hardcore. She thought that Hanpetos called her a retard back in 2013 which started the entire drama and here we are, two grown ass women claiming to have actual PTSD, depression and anxiety over fictional ships.

>>792115pretty much. Yaoi/BL is filled with women (for various reasons) including lesbians. You can draw something because you find it sexually appealing or just because it's fun, interesting, for exploration, etc. not everything has to be because you just want to bone it.
like I'm bi but at some point I lost interest in BL and just didn't find it appealing anymore. Not because I'm not attracted to guys, but because BL specifically didn't interest me. There's more that goes into the interest of this stuff than just sex appeal. One reason I used to be into it was because it could have some raunchy or straight-up
problematic shit in it without anyone raising a stink or fuss had it been het or lesbian.
>>792263Yeah yuri made by women tends to be rather dull. Citrus was the first
problematic yuri I had come acros sin years and it was a breath of fresh air yet everyone got called out for liking it because they called it fetishistic. Anything that is wlw but anything beyond gentle and sweet handholding and uwu cuddles is unacceptable so most people just don't make it because they aren't trying to be harassed just for enjoying it.
hell no one can enjoy anything
problematic w/o people thinking you're fucked up or genuinely want it to happen cause people don't separate fantasy from reality anymore. No I enjoy
problematic fiction because it helps cope with the emotions of semi-trauma and negative emotions from my youth and i'm in a place in real life that is perfectly safe and I can explore dark and possibly traumatic shit without endangering myself.
>>792289It depends on the kind of men a woman prefers. Honestly I prefer bara > yaoi boys because I actually like huskier and more masculine men.
>>792441In my experience I've had more sexual shaming from women than I have men to the point of being groomed into hating myself due to my attraction to men and thinking that I actually deserved terrible relationships with men despite the number of
abusive and
toxic women in my life that fed that nonsense to me
and abused me on top of it.
>>792455Any guy from a boyband (I.e Jonas Brothers, BTS, etc.) will probably look close enough to BL characters. It won't be 1:1 because real life duh but you get some not hyper-masculine guys. And most gay asian men seem to be into both relatively equally. It just depends on if they like twinks or if they like hunks. the gay guy ik irl likes both while i (bisexual woman) prefer bara. I just like men with little more meat on them.
>>792622why are people literally this invested in ship drama? If a ship causes you so much stress your hair starts falling out you fucking need therapy.
>>792624It's because people try too hard to relate what you like to explore or enjoy in a fantasy to be what you're sexually into when sexuality for both men and women is extremely nuanced and complicated and there is barely any research into it due to the fact that scientists cannot get funding to study sex because people think they already know all there is to know.
>>792647You don't need to have your IRL name listed anywhere. Asians can be middle eastern and vice versa. If your family literally doesn't search any of that stuff or follow accounts related to fandoms it's pretty easy to go undetected with the massive amount of people and things on tumblr. Even if her brother already knew it's still terrifying and doxxing to have someone you know say internet strangers managed to get in contact with them.
My god this is what happens when i don't check this all day and dont want to same fag post. One big ass post
Tldr: Sexuality is nuanced,BL is made by and consumed mostly by women though a lot of asian men like bara adn yaoi relatively equally, I prefer bara > yaoi, a lot of yuri is dull because it will be attacked if it is anything less than pure, fiction is for exploration and it's oversimpliication to make assumptions based on what kind of fiction someone consumes and why, women like a variety of things and there is no one size fits all. Some like bara, some don't some like both or guys that are more shounen average and you don't need to have a lot of information listed to get doxxed.

That's not shit you joke about publicly for anyone to see and minors/fanart crusaders get away with a lot of messed up life ruining tactics because they do it under the guise of moral superiority.
Even if Columbo lied which I don't think they did considering how easy it is to dox someone in 2021, its not far fetched to believe someone could have taken that callout post and decided to do it just for fun because they saw some gay shit they didn't like, like 4chan moids do.

>>792748That, and women are just in general considered easier targets.
like the pattern I'm noticing w/ all of these callouts against artists is that they're always disprivilaged or viewed as weak/easy in some way. Women, LGBT+, neurodivergent, non-white/american, ESL/Not knowing English at all, etc.
For all the bitching and moaning they do about men and male artist, straight artists, etc., they only ever target anyone who is male, straight, cis, neurotypical, etc. It's because women, LGBT+, etc. artist are supposed to be "better" than that and therefore they view harassing– I mean "calling them out" or "bringing awareness" to the content they draw public is only meant to educate them or their mutuals who for some reason they feel the need to control who they (their mutuals) follow because their mutuals are not allowed to enjoy things that they do not enjoy.
So it's basically a combination of A. Viewing non-majority people as an easy target, B. Feeling that non-majority people should be "better than" the x-majority people, C. Wanting/needing to control who their mutuals follow because god forbid your friend like something
problematic that you personally find disgusting. D. Neo-puritan culture E. Using being online "Activists" and hiding behind "educating" and "just warning" people to be media watchdogs and bullies, F. An absolute refusal to hold themselves accountable for anything they do and splitting hairs over-celebrating someone being hurt vs deactivating (I.e "I'm not celebrating them being outted just celebrating them deactivating") as well as shifting the blame of their own actions/fault in any situation where an artist gets harassed because of what they started and only taking responsibility for the bare minimum if that, and G. Getting groomed by adults who think what someone draws is an indicator predatory behavior rather than actual actions.

It's one thing to be cancelled in a ship war as a 16-year old but an entirely another when you're an adult who has a career and has to pay for your own rent, utilities and food. Not to mention the previous case about some artist being outed to her homophobic conservative muslim family in a country where homosexuality gets you a death sentence.

Especially regarding shit like this.Sounds like “well you wouldn’t get harassed if you covered yourself more”
I get that it’s quite retarded to say everything about yourself on the internet, but some people have friends and sometimes you just want to share snippets of what’s going on, like when they go out traveling or when they post their favorite doodles.
>but you posted it knowing the consequences1!1!! So now I’m allowed to go to your workplace and get you fired!1!!No, specially if the person in question only did some retarded drawings of shit like an aged up character or a gay ship they like, holding hands or hugging, because some of these retards will see red just looking at two characters they don’t like together hugging.
It’s schizo shit and that kind of shitty person should get sent to jail for harassing, stalking and slandering a random person on the internet because they did a fucking drawing of two characters.
I don’t understand what is this clown world in which we’re living right now, in which we have to wonder whether the harassment of a person is okay or no.
Like, sure, kick them out of your ~*comfort*~ platform, creepy children, but let them live their life, you don’t need to kick them out from -every- platform, you don’t need to look out where they work so they get fired, you don’t need to talk to their family and friends, that’s fucking creepy and it should be penalized properly.
This is why vigilantism doesn’t work, specially nowadays, kids are kids and they will stay retarded until they hit their 30’s if you’re lucky, everyone can just say whatever the fuck they want and it won’t be double checked because I swear there’s tiny hive minds everywhere.

>>793205Yeah I agree with you anon.
>>793181 I think that yeah, you're right, people should consider their online footprint and stop oversharing to the degree that they do because it's way too dangerous now, but you're not really considering that for a lot of people that's not an option. That may be possible for younger artists who have barely posted but for ones who have a large digital footprint that's not possible. The internet was very different even just 5 years ago and it's very short sighted to say "well, those people should have been smarter" when a whole generation of people were lulled in to a false sense of security and then had the rug pulled from under them. People will dig through years and years of someone's posts just to find a single scrap of anything to run a smear campaign on someone simply because they don't like them and the fact that a lot of artists are in that position is not fair.
As well, the accounts egging them on or whatever are not artists, they're randos who can just delete their accounts and move on if they want. For artists that's not usually possible and artists are easier targets because there's little social media attention to be gained from starting a harassment campaign on someone with 30 followers. To compare the two is being a bit deliberately obtuse, being fair.
The problem with the whole proshipping/anti thing from what I can see is that the rules are constantly changing as to what is acceptable. I dislike loli and shota shit personally but if I'm being honest the vast majority of artists getting cancelled don't draw that. Most of it is just aged up characters or anime teens who look like adults anyway but some terminally online weirdo decides to throw a shitfit because they kin that character or something and then they convince their minor minions to harass people in droves. The issue is that a lot of this is never any tangible complaint, it's always something extremely vague, saying the artist is a pedo or whatever but current discourse has proven that that can be anything from being a groomer, to loli/shota, to anime teens aged up or a minor coded adult or whatever they decide falls under this bracket.
Most of this is not being said in good faith and is done solely to catch artists and harass people for fun because they've decided they don't like them, and it's almost always women who are targeted. I really don't see how drawing some Jojo ship or something is justification for people stalking you to the point of breakdown or getting you fired or something, and lets not pretend that the former doesn't happen as a result the vast majority of the time from these harassment campaigns because they do.

>>793181No, anon. It's not a "both sides are dumb" kind of issue. The other side is minding their own business and the other is attacking their real life being over drawings like a deranged terrorist. Being butthurt over fictional ships and characters is retarded and it
should be ridiculed so that people understand it's not something a sane, mature, responsible person should practice. Speaking up about all of this isn't "asking for it" or "dwelling in it", it's raising awareness about an issue people aren't taking seriously. To the cancel crowd it's just a fun game with no consequences because their immature brains can't think two seconds ahead and others believe it "couldn't happen to them because they're careful about their online presence and never do anything controversial" before it happens to them.

You can post all the stuff you mentioned without posting your real name, your DOB, where you live, or anything detailed about your family and real friends. It has no accurate analogy in real life harassment, where the consequences and actions are all instant and occur in real life.
>aged up character or a gay ship they like, holding hands or hugging, because some of these retards will see red just looking at two characters they don’t like together hugging.You’d hope the freaks harassing artists would be going after them for worse but it truly doesn’t take much to set them off.
>>793233>That may be possible for younger artists who have barely posted but for ones who have a large digital footprint that's not possibleAs much as I’d want to agree with this, I can’t. It sucks and it’s terrible, and no one is smart when they’re a 14 year old retard drawing shit online they unknowingly might regret later, but internet safety awareness existed back then and that was my entire argument. I don’t think lack of self awareness 10 years ago when you were in 9th grade is justification to be stalked now. The mob will attack you for anything so really what exactly an artist does shouldn’t matter, what I’m saying is artists can make an effort to untether themselves from a former digital identity if it’s putting their lives at risk. You can fight off antis and proshippers for your entire online career or what fucking ever, but your personal safety should be your main priority. If you can’t abandon an account because that’s your job(and you’re actually making good money off of it), then honestly you’re SOL because the mob isn’t going to magically go away until these kids get tired of themselves. Change your name, move towns, do whatever you have to. But if it’s a personal account, fucking jump ship and don’t post shit that jeopardizes your real life again. If your art style is so identifiable then change it up every few posts, write in a foreign language, change fandoms or change mediums. There’s so many fucking artists online right now, if you’re not a big account you’re really not that important. I don’t think this is being obtuse, it’s merely harsh if not objective.

>>793270Well anon I mean, I agree with you for the most part, if you're in the shitter then yeah that's what you should do. However I do think you maybe misunderstood what I was saying before slightly. I wasn't saying anything so much about internet safety, what I was trying to emphasize moreso was the fact that only a few years prior to now, the landscape of the internet was quite different. Even something harmless like genderbend art is deemed in a completely different light nowadays and is a cancel worthy offense. So lots of people will have ammunition like this that can be used against them unfairly because the rules have changed and who knows when you'll get another rug pull when the rules change again. What I'm saying is, it's difficult to keep up with and it's not as simple as people whining, as you were claiming above.
On the point of internet safety though, you are sort of ignoring the fact that for the past decade, social media has become increasingly more predatory in terms of what they want people to share online and our privacy in general. For example, how if you use a fake name on facebook they'll lock your account and demand a scan of an ID and force you to change it to your real name. Rules like this have largely normalized and encouraged people en masse to overshare their data online and I don't think it's entirely being fair to point at them and blame them for this.
Changing accounts is also not that simple for this reason and I say this from experience. One time I made a new account on instagram that was not attached to anything I had previously used, no same email, no phone number, no other accounts logged in, nothing. Yet I was still being recommended to follow people from my old facebook and I was being recommended to them, too. Social media takes note of factors such as your IP address and device serial and logs them and links all of your accounts together and will recommend new accounts of yours to other you knew before. Go on to the app store right now, Apple have recently started implementing rules in their app store that will tell you what all data these apps collect and what they will do with them (linking identities, etc).
The same thing happened to me on twitter too, a brand new account and it magically knew my birthday, my location (even though I used a VPN) and was recommending old accounts I used to follow. If someone is stalking you it's a matter of time until the algorithm decides to suggest your account to them too because it encourages engagement. As I and other anons are trying to explain, I think you're looking at this too naively and you don't understand how difficult it is nowadays to untie yourself from older identities. Not to say it can't be done and again I agree with all of the steps you've outlined because at the end of the day your personal information should be protected at all costs. Just that it's nowhere near as simple as you're making out because of all of these factors involved.
No. 793472
>>793306What you're saying is true anon. I've dealt with the same shit on twitter. Brand new account with fake name, new email, totally out of topic of my other accounts yet it still recommended to myself my old accounts (one dated back from 2015!) and my IRL friends accounts. To my followers too :/. I had to abandon this account and recreate one on a computer that was barely used and had no email or twitter accounts ever logged in. Imagining that I said one "
problematic" thing, and that they somehow get my real name, they can get my real address since my internet provider decided to put it on an online phone book (and that it's been 2 whole months since i made an appeal to them AND google to remove it).
All this to say that, even if you're cautious the algorithm can suddenly fuck you over. I feel that you must take more and more steps to be truly anonymous, or hell, not get fucking doxxed on the current web. It wasn't like that in the early 2010s.
No. 793498
>>793472Yup, that's what I experienced, too. You can't even easily hop accounts because social media even keeps hashes of the images you post and tries to identify you that way, too… it's so creepy.
That's without even factoring in that all it would take is someone managing to get in to an old account of yours from a data leak or something (which are becoming increasingly common now) and suddenly they can compromise many of your accounts/data and you'll find yourself doxxed because websites force you to submit so much sensitive data and logs things such as your location that anyone with access to your account can see.
Facebook only the other week had a gigantic breach that exposed hundreds of millions of people's names, numbers, email addresses etc. All someone has to do is send a password reset for your art account and if it's successful when you put in the address from the leak, then those people know your real name, phone number, location, where you work etc. People think this would never happen to them but if you have stalkers it's a whole other ball game. Look at how KF operates, when people are obsessed they /will/ spend the time combing through shit just to mess with you.
I also forgot that in places like the US, as you mentioned people's addresses will just be publicly available (and I don't understand how that's legal).
Like you said, unless you are extremely proactive as to how you use the web (fake details, TOR, randomly generated passwords, no repeating emails/use only disposable emails) which lets be real, most people are not, you are liable to fall
victim to being in a bad situation.

The jpn artist that revolocities and his fans drove off tumblr some years ago posted some vent tweets before going private just now. (urct/uracata)
> tl;dr They're reflecting on how they felt pressured to accept his apology back then bc his friends and fans were harassing them to do so. They're also upset revo's apology made it sound like they were friends in order to take the heat off himself and now the misconception stuck with english fans.

She makes people feel like this on a regular basis for no reason other than she's a sick and bad person who gets her jollies from seeing other people who have never done anything to her suffer.
I wouldn't get any pleasure out of finding out she died or anything but at the same time she won't even learn any empathy for others from this anyway so I have no sympathy for her.

I’m sorry if this is a bit off topic to the conversation now as well, but I noticed this artist MawsPaws. She was mentioned/on locked down for a bit for throwing a tantrum over a design that barely looked like hers and is known to be friends with a few cows mentioned on previous threads before.
I’m not a fan of her but it’s one of these moments where looking through twitter for the next ‘scandal’ brought me to her phase.
I couldn’t help but be curious to WHAT situation she’s talking about? She full on had a tangent about white people.
She basically said in her current tweet that she found out she’s mentally ill and taking a hiatus, but it’s weird how she went from “Do not follow me if you’re below 16” to “I’m mentally ill and crying over situation. Ever notice wyt ppl always talk about so and so.”

>>796142I was thinking more of the Tajmark situation where a user tried to get her fired from her job that set her off on the ‘wyt ppl’ rant.
Not to mention the kf situation was posted around March. She did retweet something from that artist ironically.
That and ever since the topless situation she put “ suggestive 16+ (gore/nonsexual top nudity)” as a bio. Though there is one question that should be raised, why is she getting all up and offended about a situation that isn’t her place to begin with.
Do these artists on twitter just seek attention even if it has nothing to do with them? It’s like you break a bone or close to dying and these artists will try to make you mourn for them instead lol, it’s hilarious yet stupid.

Their entire clique is full of attention seeking grifters. They’re constantly trying to find reasons on why you should feel bad and pity one person over the other.

>>798000I can't promise this will work or is smart but I managed to set my paypal name to a shortened version of my middle name and last initial, which was private enough for me.

It's not like they can reasonably disprove that.
Again though I may have just been lucky. This was years ago that I made the account, like late 2010s, so it may be stricter now. No idea if it's strictly legal or whatever but I never made more than $300 a year so it probably wasn't worth pursuing either way I imagine.

Unless I'm wrong, I think it's a pretty safe bet if you need to keep your irl name separate, but I've tested it myself a bit because I have an easily doxxable name.
Also, I have ko-fi send the payments to my business account. Then I transfer the money from that account to my personal, that my bank is attached to. Just to be extra careful.

>>798071Yeah you got lucky. Right now paypal only allows me to change a single letter in case something was misspelled, bigger name changes have to be proven with documents.
>>798084That's good to know, ko-fi does seem very user-friendly and I would prefer it but I've also read that people were able to see the names through paypal anyway so I'll have to test it out.

This isn’t really a complaint, just something I’ve been wondering but wasn’t sure where to ask. Why do digital artists sometimes post their art like
>screenshot of finished drawing in an art program

>photo of finished drawing on a screen
No. 798156
>>798154It must be so It’s more difficult to steal or something, specially if the picture looks like it has a really low resolution or if it looks unfinished/unpolished. So when someone traces it or reposts it in order to make money out of it, it won’t look nice enough for a customer with more than 1 brain cell that wants to buy art.
I don’t know thought, this could be more of a tinfoil than anything else. Maybe the artist is just lazy and/or can’t make the picture look nice in the format of the app they’re using to publish their stuff.

Unironically, copy the sakimichan model. People have tried to call her out for years and because she sticks to only posting art it never works.

Sorry you had to experience all of that but I admire your strength in being able to deal with it all. I hope you're doing better nowadays.
Sadly, I have noticed the same thing when it comes to callouts and harassment campaigns. It's true that women are mostly targeted but not enough people appreciate that it's also women who are doing the targeting. It's an unfortunate truth, men just don't really get involved in this sort of thing and they don't seem to care very much. I suppose that's another reason why someone like sakimichan is so hard to cancel, her primary audience is coomer men.

And I'm pretty sure almost everyone has done something
problematic in their past. It's so frustrating that people don't believe in redemption or people growing past their teenager phase or that things were held to different standards 10 years ago.

Obviously, people insisted "well I wasnt a racist that age!" Or "abuse doesnt excuse it."
Eventually I sought out therapy and realized that none of this mattered to me. I drew for fun, not for business so I moved on eventually. I was a big artist (10k+ followers on twitter) and I lost like 80% of my friends.
You learn to let go of it when you realize how unhealthy it was for me trying to please 300 mutuals and meet these peoples standards. Obviously, I am not a racist now. But I realized a lot of my self growth should be for improving myself. Not pleasing my friends with 20k followers.

Most other nobodies spend their every living hour on twitter self advertising hoping to not lose the money they spent to open up their ETH wallet.
Also the energy spent with social media and public services you NEED to survive in society like cars, food and travel is falsely symmetrical with nfts and just a bad faith argument in general. Yes it spends a lot, but the proportion of people using it is gargantually larger and if you were to break down the total carbon footprint of running twitter by individual user you’d get a very small fraction of the individual carbon footprint of crypto.

How are NFTs a scam? What makes it a scam? People once said the same thing about Bitcoin, and Doge. As usual, most artist are very financially ignorant, and don't see the bigger picture of why crypto is being so heavily pushed. Sure there are some who may genuinely care about the environmental impact, but why weren't they saying anything before? Cryptoarts been around a while, but no one said shit until Beeple raked in a fortune, and some bigger artist decided to jump on board. That just makes the whole caring about the environment argument seem like fake outrage, and sour grapes, and attempts to discourage more talented, or their completion from climbing higher than them. Also, commissions are a very unstable market, and even if you are a great artist, there's no guarantee that you'll get a line of commissioners waiting and ready as soon as you open slots. NFTs are a risk, dealing with the blockchain and all, but the potential payouts are much more rewarding. I personally know several Crypto artist, including one who crawled his way to the top, and is currently making a good, stable living from it. Even for small time artist jumping in, hoping to ride the way, like all things, it takes time, but the reward are definitely greater. Why should anyone stay down and broke, trying to appease a salty, gatekept industry, when those same group of people won't hesitate to throw you under the bus in the blink of an eye?

No. 799400
>>799372I think it comes down how NFTs were marketed. NFTs are basically the MLM of art community. The nfts were sold as "savior of small artists" or a way "for small artist compete" but in reality the only people making a bank out of it are the already successful artists who got the connections and the money. These big artist also toss the ball to each other by basically bidding to each other's nfts to boost their worth and get them sold for higher price. The biggest nft websites are also invite only so it basically becomes a rich people hangout while smaller artist who try to get into nfts have to pay some sort of fee to partake in these websites that are usually also less popular.
Now I'm not saying this to shame either, if I were these artists, hell I would totally do the same shit if it got me such an easy money but you cannot ignore the fact that nfts really are just rich people's virtual trading card game where the small artists are just to feed into the system without seeing any of the benefits of it.

anyway, eth carbon footprint has always been significantly less than other crypto, such as btc, otherwise nfts wouldn't even be a thing. not doing research about crypto/nfts now will not benefit you if you want to get rich off your art in the future and not have to wageslave for the rest of your life. this literally is the frontier

if you feel insecure, it looks better to say that the drawing was an 'experimentation' or saying that you're 'trying new things' instead of claiming it's a sketch. people may understand or go easier on it and won't think that you're humblebragging.

All the social justice circlejerking makes me nostalgic for the kind of inane drama there used to be on Deviantart back in the day.

I would even go so far as to say that these two Twitter artists have less in common than two friends typically would, and that most of their similarities are the result of both of them being generic Instagram anime girl artists. It's fucking retarded to accuse someone of copying what was really generic to begin with, especially with such scant evidence.
"Art style theft" has got to be the most petty, vendetta-driven thing someone can get angry at another artist for. Here's a thought: if your art style is that easy to imitate well, maybe it wasn't a very good style to begin with.

>>800998But. None of these comparisons are legit. They look nothing alike. What the fuck? Can't people just sort out their petty drama in private instead of going scorched earth and airing their dirty laundry out in the open. How old are these people? 16? It's harrowing to realize that someone you've had a decade-long relationship would just dish out your personal things like family issues for all world to see out of the blue but it speaks a lot more about NettleLemonade than the person she's attempting to call out.

A few years ago I heard about artists leaving Tapas because they didn’t like some terms of service changes but idk how things are there nowadays. When I was first getting into webcomics I used to love Smackjeeves but it’s kind of dead/dying now… Making your own website used to be more common but that would probably be too much trouble if you’re just making something casual.
And yeah, Webtoon ads can be cringy but I guess they just haven’t found a good way to advertise comics in a video, and I think it’s also because they’re trying to reach a mainstream audience so they decided to be clickbaity. Only once have I checked out a webtoon because of an ad because most of them are annoying.
No. 801595
>>801583>>801564To be honest sometimes I fear that if I make a webcomic on webtoon and it somehow manages to get video advertisements or just instagram adverisements, it'll completely slander/go against what the comic may stand for or focus on the cliche romance stories than the whole plot which worries me a bit.
I never really use webtoon as much simply due to a lot of stories just really not appealing to me or getting me hooked at all. I feel like I need to at least like the site before I post things otherwise I might just regret making any project on there if that makes sense? Maybe it's that overthinking part of me and the side of me that just dislikes so much of the art style and stories there.
No. 801641
>>801595I’m pretty sure the ads are only for comics that have been officially sponsored by Webtoon, not just anybody on there will get an ad made for their comic, so unless you get super popular and decide to partner with Webtoon then you shouldn’t have to worry.
Webtoon is pretty great if you like cheesy romance stories, but there are also some hidden gems not focused on romance if you can find them, though it might take a bit of digging. Personally I feel it’s better to read the already completed ones so you don’t have to wait for updates or risk the comic being discontinued when you’ve already invested in it (not usually a problem with sponsored comics since I’m pretty sure the creators are contracted to finish them eventually). As for art style, a lot of the sponsored comics are translated from Korean so they’ll have the art style that’s popular there, that cutesy anime-esque style, not a problem for me but I can see how others wouldn’t like it. It’s either that or Tumblr/Twitter style comics by Americans. Again, you can dig around for something different but those styles are most popular on there right now.

I don't know if this technically counts (I think it does since this youtuber makes art of his oc or used to), but there is currently a war/storm around the youtuber Commodore.
Cosmo was a YouTuber who first got into trouble when it was found out he was grooming a minor age 14-15 and stated the age of consent was 14 while being 20. Yes, old news.. But surprisingly a few days ago Cosmodore would return to youtube and twitter with an announcement that he 'relapsed' into grooming minors again and ADMITS to it.
I can't tell if this man is having a mental breakdown which is causing him to try to make this situation a "Haha look at these people be sensitive snowflakes" or something else. He came back before this as well trying to blame the victim still and make excuses as well when the victim wanted to move on.
My mind is just blown at the fact that this guy keeps digging himself in a deeper hole with his situation.

Fans of these two attacked that dumb tranny who made a "pewdiepie being robbed is good, actually" comic but won't flinch an eye on shadman drawing kids porn. Why? Because their idols decide shadman is not a bad dude. Shadman also makes use of the fact that he isn't snarky and doesn't write gotchas like the average twitter idiot that goes against that group.

>>804337>no one knows he used real children and actors I mean, that’s pretty much the crux of it. I think it’s been like, 10 years? At least as far as I heard since the last controversy of Shad drawing porn or borderline porn of an actual child. If you weren’t around at the time or never heard about it, I don’t quite fault people for not knowing and defending his art. Cause without knowing he’s done porn of actual children, there is nothing that’s exactly illegal about his art. Degen and ugly but those aren’t crimes in and of themselves.
It’s the people who acknowledge he used real children and defend that is what I side eye. It doesn’t help that a lot of the accusations (which have a measure of truth to them when it comes to Shad) get drowned out because when people point it out, the first thought is that he drew porn of a
fictional minor because idiots who think characters have rights have conflated genuine cp with some fucked up art so much no one cares to investigate.
“Shadman drew actual cp/borderline cp.” doesn’t draw the attention it should when cp can range from porn of characters who are minors, aged up minors/turning the characters 18, to adult characters with an age gap especially in fandoms where shipping is common. But rarely is it something that involves an actual child. I’ve seen cp used to refer to fictional shit more then actual children in like 95% of the time and it’s both infuriating and sickening.
Seriously a ship between a mid 20 something year old and a 30/40 year old got called cp and pedophilia… no wonder fewer people take accusations of it seriously.

But it's only for big artists? Even if you make 1 sale at 1 ETH, it's still money in the bank, and I've also seen people comment that this new one has no gas fees. So why not try and make some money off these "annoying" dudebros?

>>804354You hit the nail on the coffin. It's why I can't take and get so mad at proshipper vs antishipper shitstorm that is fights over fictional minors with adults arguing with children and children arguing with each other.
At the end of the day, I'm more concerned about the sick people who go out of their way to draw real life minors in sexual situations and try to post AND sell it, not fictional characters.
I don't even think there should be a label of proshipper and antishipper if someone is trying to call out a person who drew cp or encourage minors in sexual positions with adults (in their words), you don't walk around in real life calling these types of people antishippers and proshippers.
It's worrying and makes me a bit frustrated at the fact that people overshadow serious situations such as an artist who ACTUALLY received cp and drew a minor in sexual positions, trying to sell it with fictional characters that the creator themselves a lot of times do not care if they get lewded go off on.
I remember daftpina making a video about the artist Otako Studios who was known for creating the second season of Panty And Stocking actually getting arrested for abuse of a minor and sexual deeds, even confessed to it at that point. Currently that video is deleted but before it was it seemed like there was very few views on the serious situation of an artist abusing their powers other than fictional characters.

>>804586I half agree with you. In one hand, I do agree that artists really should embrace any chance they get to make money. It's already hard as it is, so why not.
However, when it comes to NFT's case in particular pretty much the only people making any money from it are people who either already have money themselves, or are established in the industry with a stable job, or have a massive platform- or all three. 99% of artists doing NFT aren't even getting that measly 1 ETH, hence why many say that NFT is just an echo chamber. It's really only a select few.
Besides, it's a risky game for new artists as well because of public backlash. It's undoubtable that stating publicly that you support NFT will get you a handful of backlash and unfollows and most artists who don't fit in the "big artist" label aren't willing to risk that because that can seriously break them in a platform.
NFT really just comes off as a game that only the big ones can win even if it's just for 1 ETH, it's too risky for artists who don't already have everything under their feet stable.
Sorry for the long ass sperg but I wanted to give my two coins on the subject.

And yes, if one single NFT consumes more energy than a large number of american households there is individual impact and responsibility.
Like rossdraws has a successful youtube, 5k patrons, art books and his merch sold out almost instantly. And now he's jumping on the NFT train. I can totally understand wanting to make money but yes at some point you're just greedy. They can do whatever they want but I don't think the backlash from their audience is unreasonable or unexpected.

I think it would demand a revolutionary discovery in technology, and most likely an expensive one, too. At the moment I think the ones in charge just don't see such change as "worth it", after all even with public backlash you'll still see huge brands, celebrities and people with deep pockets cashing in on crypto while completely ignoring the carbon print. If the people who pay don't seem to mind it, then there's no motivation to change it.

>>805029It's risky because unless you're rich, established or have a big following you're not guaranteed to have your work bought and get your money back.

>>805029Imagine you're an artist with a small or moderate following working a min wage job or living off commissions. You don't have much money to spend, just enough to get by and maybe buy some videogames or merch every now and then.
You try to get into NFTs because you were told you could make a lot more money through it. You pay to mint your first NFT. Nobody bids on it. you lost that money. Money that maybe, you couldn't afford to lose.
Economically, doing NFTs is a lot riskier for the average artist because you're losing money for the CHANCE that someone MAY place a bid, which 90% of the time doesn't happen because you're not a big name in the industry or platform. You're way safer doing regular commissions or setting up a Patreon. The way it currently is, NFTs are a playground for people who have the means and money to fall back on if they don't get bids only.
What some people don't understand is that NFT bidders will pretty much only bid on works done by big names. If you're a random Twitter artist your chances of getting your NFT bought are close to 0, hence why it's just not worth it.

>>804939I can only tell you about bitcoin so this might not apply to other cryptos. Around every 8 minutes a new block containing transactions is added to the chain, if your the one to add the block, you get a reward. In order to add a block you play a guessing game with your GPU, this is called mining. In playing this game you are competing with everyone else, and the games difficulty increases the more GPUs are playing.
The thing is, it needs to be this way. The only reason it's secure is because it takes so much power. It's literally in the name of the concept "Proof of work" you have to proove you dumped power into this to have your work be accepted. This is why they want to switch Ether over to "proof of stake".
Personally I don't see how crypto is the future, it's never going to be as efficient as having a centralized payment processor. And the pros of being decentralized and and not being connected to a central bank have niche appeal at best. It really feels like a gold rush more than anything else. Then again I could be wrong, I also never understood why we need NFTs to sell digital art, in my mind the connection between the token and the artwork is really weak. But to others, having this token attached seems to make the purchase feel more real.

>>805215I think she's absolutely right about there not being artists in their 30s.
The difference is that people who are 18-22 are going to be focusing on their "art career" but really they're just planting the seeds, going to art college, starting their social media etc. So if you go to college or are in that age group you see a ton of artists.
But if you're 30 years old you're just not going to see these people around you anymore. No one who is around 30 is dreaming of being an artist, their dreams are kind of dead.
The only reason why you see 30+ artists is because they're just very seen in general. They're the rare few and its literally their job to be seen- they make art- people need to look at it.
No. 805790
>>805544This is almost word for word what TD said, and I disagree because it still limits how many 25-30 year old artists(from 40+ it gets harder) I see on Twitter/insta.
But onto the same subject, perhaps it’s branding related? Most 30 year olds artists, outside of the industry, unlike TD prob actively avoid talking to kids in the art community/try not to pander to said demographic specifically. Most 30 year old artists outside of the industry who I follow generally work on nsfw (not porn but horror elements), so hence why news of their work may not reach an audience that spends most of its time online- so my experience may be hella bias
No. 805831
>>805215I'm glad someone else posted this video. As someone who is turning 30 this year and is still doing art and posting it on social media, I'm a little conflicted with this video. On the one hand, she's not completely wrong because I've noticed that a lot of the artists I follow on Twitter happen to be in their early 20s with a few who are even 18-19. There are only about 3 or 4 artists I watch who happen to be in their 30s+ So she's not necessarily wrong with that.
However on the other hand, TD hangs around on Twitter, DeviantART, and recently TikTok, the latter which is an app mostly used by teenagers. And it doesn't sound like she follows much of any officially trained and graduate professionals in the industry. Like
>>805224 pointed out, a lot of the artists in their 30s are professional illustrations or animators and I notice that the good few I follow are in their 30s as well and while some of them do have a Twitter, a lot of them are on ArtStation, you know the site that a lot of these younger artists find too intimidating to be on? I'm more than sure they feel that way because a lot of the artists on there are professionals. But just saying, want to find older artists past 30? That's the place to go.
Also
>>805226 brought up good point, it really depends who you follow. Like if you ever come across professionals on Twitter and you follow them, you'll start getting recommended other artists like them who may also be professionals as well. Also the art style comment, I agree with this too and I think this also plays a part in why TD can't find older artists.
A lot of the professionals who happen to be older do draw in a semi-realistic style. I hardly see any older artists who draw in a straight up anime style, I'm sure they exist but I just haven't come across many but then again, I'm not really into the anime style.
>>805248> I've noticed many young artists don't follow older professional artists because they're likely intimidated by them.Right and this is the kinda attitude that you see with these kids towards ArtStation. A lot of the artists there are professionals with lots of skill and this intimidates them.
>>805262That's a fair point. There were a few artists I watched who as they got older and art wasn't their career or that they made money from, they did tend to up and disappear from social media. One I follow that comes to mind who I first discovered on DeviantART back in like 2007, she now posts like once every 4-5 months but for the most part is inactive.
I myself though, it's funny you mention how writing would be easier to scribble during a work period because I do this with drawing at my job. I work retail/customer service though, not an office job but I still manage to sneak in some time to doodle something and I just finish it later when I get home. But I do see your point.

Anyway with TD's art style, it's no secret that her art style is very polarizing. She lacks technical skill and her art style looks very awkward and "off" a lot of the time. I remember someone saying in a previous thread that her style is not all that great for her age for someone who has drawn a good long while now and I feel like that's the case here. Like I get that she wants to have a cartoon(?) style but because she doesn't practice on her style itself (she mostly just practices on coloring and line work), it's making her style look off-putting.
So because of this, older artists may not be drawn to her work. If I didn't know who TD was and I came across her art randomly, I wouldn't be inclined to follow her art social media because I don't like her art style. And it's not because I don't dislike cartoony styles, quite the opposite as I do like that style, Jin Kim is one of my top 3 favorite artists. But TD's style lacks polish. The only decent thing she has going for it is decent enough cell-shading but that's it. And I know that a lot of other artists feel the same.
So anyway, while TD may not be good enough to entice older artists, her art fits right in with younger artists who are still developing their own styles and are typically below the age of 25. She even says in the video that one of her friends recently turned 21 so I think that should say something. That her art only appeals to teenagers (usually weebs) and early 20s. And because of this cycle she's in, it clouds her perception around her of what it's like for older artists because she doesn't know many nor gets to interact with them and is stuck mingling around with people below her age.

A lot of them also have IRL jobs but manage to juggle both because they have things like Patreon and still take commission work.
I remember TD mentioning in a previous video that she prefers to not look at NSFW content because it's not her thing and that's
valid but that will also play into why she's not noticing other artists in the 25-35+ age range because a lot of them do transition to NSFW type content.

Also am I the only one who gets really annoyed with how much she has to reinforce that she's an adult? She always says things like "I'm an adult" or "Adults do this/that" or "When you're adult" and so on. I'm sorry but whenever she does this, I can't help but feel that the reason she says this is because she's insecure AF. No secure person in their late 20s would feel the need to constantly remind people that they are an adult.
I'm wondering if it's because she knows that in the eyes of her peers or people older than her, they see her as juvenile and might look down on her.
I mean it's not a big deal that she's trying to make a career in art. She's not doing a great job but she's doing something at least. But on that note, I wish she would just be more transparent about her situation. She blabs about how she's "lucky" to be in a position to not have a IRL job but notice how she never specifically says why. It just wreaks of Holly Brown whenever she tried to be serious and it was just cringe.
Like just say it TD. you have a husband who is okay with supporting you because he has a good job that pays enough to support two people. It's not that hard, just be fucking honest. She can blather that she "pays her bills" with her art and that might be true but I'm willing to bet that it's just enough to pay for things like her phone bill, internet, and maybe a little of the rent while her husband pays a more significant portion of the rent and electricity.
And I had to roll my eyes when she brought up the looking for part-time work thing again. She says that sometimes artists who are trying to make it have to do things they may not like but she doesn't seem to take her own advice. She bitches about how it wouldn't be worth working a part time job that pays minimum wage because she wouldn't be able to have enough money to put gas in her car to go to work. But she also won't commute like take a bus. And that's fine, first world problem but it's fine. What gets me though is that she expects to be paid more than minimum wage when she's been out of work for like 2 years now. And with the jobs that do pay above minimum wage, she says she can't do because of her health problems and obesity and it's just… You have to choose one or the other or just continue doing what you're doing now and stop mentioning it because it just makes her excuses a lot more noticeable to people who aren't her gullible younger fans.

Kurot and Joodlez from the old deviantart days are still active. Every anime artist alley I've been to has had older artists selling. The reason you don't see tons of artists in their 30s is because most people stop mentioning their age when they leave their 20s, especially in fandom spaces where being over 25 means you need to go offline and take care of your kids, so older fans won't be vocal about their age.

>>805779This one's pretty close - there are a lot of us over-30s still working in art, but the percent of people working in art versus just looking for attention shifts heavily between 25 and 30. People who never got any better and who are just in the scene for asspats mostly leave and pick up other hobbies, except for the truly delusional. Those who are on their way to making a living in it start quieting down and spending more time working in art and less time in talking about art as a result.
The art community online is less about working artists and more a collection of people who think if they don't take 30$ full-body commissions or post a new half-assed scribble every two days they'll stop mattering. Those attitudes just kind of look dumb as hell to a 30 year old, and most of us aren't attracting a bunch of kids as a result. A few discord servers I'm in have people my age who are still hobbyists, but they're more serious and less obnoxious than the kids (with a small percent being so obnoxious and delusional they get run out fast). They don't stand out to people whose entire lives are fight-or-flight drama. Their art is better than the average 20 year olds but I doubt the 20 year olds even notice them half the time because they're not posting all the time and starting shit with everyone, and that's what being an artist is about to them. Those kind of people leave to go have more irl meltdowns at their mcdonalds jobs by 30, in my experience, or continue to only make friends with 20 year olds, and to either never mention art again or to swear that their dream was stolen from them and never mention that they drew like a 12 year old up until they were 28 and realized they'd never become a famous artist.

I remember being on DeviantART back in 2006 to about 2009 and while my art was shitty back then, it still managed to get some engagement and I wasn't uploading on a frequent basis. But DeviantART is now dying and Twitter and Instagram are the places to be now but unfortunately I came too late and it's snowball's chance in hell if my work gets any views or engagement since I don't really have a following.
> For me I'd much rather read text posts and view artwork on my PC or laptop SAME HERE. I vastly prefer browsing art sites and viewing art on my laptop than using my phone. I still use my laptop to this day for art and art viewing. I don't really ever see myself giving up my laptop honestly kek.
What you said though with how we mid-late 20s and early 30s people are the last generation to experience "old internet" back during the DeviantART, MySpace, AOL Messenger, MSN Messenger, and Geocities site to look at fandom-related stuff, it really does make you feel like a relic sometimes, at least that's how I feel anyway lol.

>>804750Tbh I hate the argument “there is a point you’re being greedy” just because an artist is already successful.
The reality is that a lot of artists are at the mercy of social media. If Twitter decided tomorrow they didn’t want to allow nsfw or adult content, they should shut down Sakimichan’s entire account or force her off. Same for Patreon if they tried to pull the “your creative works belong to us” they tried with a few other artists that forced them off the platform or even just decided they wanted to fully be a sfw platform.
YouTube’s “child content” algorithm could flag all of Ross’s videos and completely demonitize the channel and/or a large number of videos as well as kill any engagement on them. Hell, Yueko and Orangesekaii were falsely suspended because of targeted DCMA reports and many other artists get suspended on Instagram, Twitter, etc. because bots handle reports and will just suspend the account if they get enough.
Sure you could just sell your own merchandise and run your own website but then that’s be the only thing you could do. As an artist, you should never put all your eggs in one basket. I’m not surprised artists are wiggling into the nft even if they already are successful because tomorrow, they may be out of an income from another platform. Sure, it comes off as paranoid but that’s the reality of the digital landscape and relying on social media for your reach and monetizing your content. At one point tomorrow you could be targeted whether by false reports or a change in TOS and just swept off the platform.

>>806397>Oh cool. But then how do you manage to find other artists around your age? Or do you just stick with the artists you've already known? I couldn't tell you because I don't go looking for artists my age in particular. I am very detached on social media, so I follow artists because I like their styles, not to connect with them on a personal level, so age doesn't matter to me.
If you want to meet older artists irl I'd suggest attending life drawing sessions (whenever pandemic ends) or getting a table at an artist alley. Any art space away from the social media bubble will have people of many ages

Does anyone here use a Simbans PicassoTab?
I recently got it and installed the Android version of ClipStudio on it and it just feels so weird to use pressure wise. No how much I tweak the pen pressure or stabilizers my lines always come out really slow (and if I turn down my stabilizers even slightly it acts like it's been set to 0), weirdly has super long thin trails, requires me to really push-down to have the lines show up, it's nothing like on my Gaomon tablet (even if I manually copied the pressure settings from my PC version to said Android version.).

>>806492> sure you could do all these things that successful artists have been doing for years but having multiple avenues of revenue besides social media seems like putting your eggs all in one basket!Artists like Sakimichan could get banned off of Twitter tomorrow and still have streams of income. They're mainstream marketable artists (even Sakimichans nsfw is tame and sellable compared to a lot of the more gritty stuff out there). Not only are their names already known in the industry but they have other avenues of income already. Your point that NFTs give vulnerable artists a way to make sizeable income would be accurate if it wasn't for the fact these artists streams of income aren't in danger. The main reason why they're even participating in NFTs to begin with is because they have a reputable name and an "in" into the system. This is not something your run of the mill Twitter artist can achieve, in fact, their work is more likely to be stolen. Art by Rossdraws sold by someone who isn't Rossdraws will immediately be seen as a red flag but a random Twitter user that gets their art swiped is basically shit out of luck unless they have someone who sees their art being sold.
So yeah when you boil it down to "only successful artists can profit off this system" (artists who already have thousands of followers on their patreon and sell prints/merch already mind you) and "this system wildly destroys the environment almost double that of any emissions a single human can contribute in their lifetime" it does sound fucking greedy. Don't care about artists making bank, I do care however about the ethics of hearing "hey this is shitty for the planet and literally everyone besides yourself" and hearing that and going "hmm… well I guess I gotta try it out then!"
No. 808125
>>808017That wasn’t the point. You can sell your own merch and run your own website but not everyone is cut out to do that either by logistics or the sheer amount of time and space it would take to house the merch.
My overall point was that artists can’t rely exclusively on social media websites with how finicky they are and how easily you can be targeted. I’m think the “greed” argument is weak when it comes to artists shouldn’t do nfts because people consider other things to be greedy too. Hell, people called Sakimichan greedy when she was selling her own merch and art books and that was before nfts hit the mainstream If people call you greedy over everything, it becomes a weak argument. This isn’t about whether you should or shouldn’t do nfts, I just get why some artists do it if given the chance to basically sell original art in a medium they’re good in without it having to be a commission.

No. 812076
>>812069That's not really a big deal, a lot of artists do that. "If you follow this person or like them unfollow me."
It's the classic 'I wanna be a big baby about someone else's opinions and likes'. When an artist is jealous or dislikes someone and when they possessively stalk their followers to know who they're following, they say that.
The same tier as artists and people in general who checks who unfollows them/their social blade everday and tell people who followed them and who didn't.
I suggest just not following artists who do this or red flags that raise like them constantly talking about drama and bitching about oppression, they're not an artist or not really a serious one (I meant as in they make art a lot and doesn't post about drama and more constantly like Jay).
Also, can I add that Instagram is the best platform in my opinion when it comes to avoiding annoying talks? Sure they can do it on their story or in descriptions, but you can ignore them and casually scroll through their profile, but with Twitter you have to constantly scroll retweets and drama like this just to see simple piece of art.

No. 813013
>>812648It's basically about the fact that in almost every western comic/cartoon, the strong female has short hair while demure/weak women have long hair. It's basically a hair version of the "Real women don't wear dresses" trope where femininity is treated as a weakness rather than just a personality trait which for some reason western cartoons are relying on more and more even though it is outdated as fuck.
>>812641Tbf it really is only the hair and eyebrows that are purple leaning. As far as Clark and Lois's skin, there doesn't look like there is a hint of purple on them. So it really does look like they decided to color this guy purple-based/red skin which a lot of dark-skinned characters get in cartoons where they're more red/purple than being dark oranges or browns. If anything, it looks like the purple is just stylized black rather than lighting.
If it is the lighting, why isn't there a hint of it on either Lois or Clark's skin but on Jimmy it's like they put an overlay on his skin but not on theirs?
which could beg the question of why it seems like black characters in cartoons are generally more red/purple because it seems like they're trying to avoid a mix of "But not too black" but also just being afraid to use genuinely darker skin tones.

Easy answer: aesthetically pleasing/easier to read the character for animation purposes

A little off topic but I've been binging sci-fi shows recently and it's become so obvious an apparent that male writers do not know how to write women. Currently watching Buffy and it feels like she was the ass kicking "bimbo" every scrote dreams of same with the Nevers protag she's a rough and tough victorian lady that will beat up men/drink and sleep with whoever she wants (kind of the same with wynona earp).

Another example listed just says that 6teen “inverts” the trope by having the dainty feminine girl have short hair. And another one of the examples is Velma from Scooby Doo who’s just a nerd with a bobcut…? And I’m not sure how the other western cartoons listed contribute to the “strong female has short hair while demure/weak women have long hair” issue that
>>813013 talks about
As for western comics I don’t really read much of them, but the section on tvtropes lists superhero comics, and doesn’t that genre already have a bunch of strong female superheroes with long hair like Wonderwoman, Supergirl, Storm, Jean Grey, Batwoman, Batgirl, Ms. Marvel, etc? It’s not like having short-haired female heroes would negate all of that, it’s just adding a little design variety, so I don’t see how there’s an issue there.
No. 813258
>>813172i've never given a shit about how long a female character's hair is, long hair was never coded as weak or sexual to me. all the animated female characters i've loved with ridiculously long hair didn't make me pause and think "hmm how is this lady kicking ass her hair would get in the way" bc cartoons are built on exaggeration
i agree that sci-fi and comicbook bros don't know how to write strong women without sexualizing them as a fantasy gf
i think Ellie from the Last of Us is a strong female character with a feminine appearance and practical character design.
i hate the trend of short hair=strong woman, extremely short hair styles take just as much work to maintain irl (you have to constantly cut and style your hair to keep the look) like extremely long hair. a medium cut can be quickly put in a bun ponytail or braids. but stylish short hairstyles are coded Strong Woman instead of ponytails and braids for some reason
No. 813364
>>813329It comes from character design shorthand. Just like if you want a character to be read as firey or temperamental you give them red or orange-colored hair. Of course you can subvert, invert, etc. or do whatever you want with them but generally a lot of writers tend to write women with short hair as the more masculine and by extension, more capable women.

>>813065Never said it was a conspiracy.

It isn't even on the walls or their skin. Just his. Which comes off as weird since he's the black friend to two white people and people who make cartoons now tend to pride themselves on being progressive.
It just reads as trying to make him dark-skinned but not wanting to actually use dark-skinned colors… especially when the white characters are typical/generic peach/yellow based. It isn't saying that he comes off as not human, it comes off as them being too damn afraid to actually use dark browns/oranges for darker skin and using purple and claiming stylization or lighting when it isn't apparent in literally any of the other characters or setting around them.

Adulthood in the future is going to be hard for this generation.
I keep hoping that people who are at least above 20 wouldn't go through this teenage phase like many other artists and just grow out of it, but man. Seeing 25-26 year old artists practically act like babies, sensitive over simplest things and have
trigger warnings for things as simple as PayPal and I kid you not- Taxes.
It makes me want to see where the adults acting like this ends up when they're in their 30's and what the 15-16 year olds on Twitter end up when they're 20 due to their 'safe-spaces'.
I wonder how many rejections from art companies they'll get rejected from due to their portfolio having nothing but traced art and social medias filled with them crying over small situations. Even if they do get a job, I highly doubt that they would be able to keep it or make enough money to move out of their parents house.

>>813973This is maybe a little off topic, but I really do wonder how adulthood is going to be for a lot of these people going forward. It seems that in these spaces it’s more acceptable to have childish hobbies/behaviors into adulthood because in their minds, you shouldn’t have to give up childish things when you’re older if they make you happy. In some ways I agree, but you can be an adult with childish hobbies and still gain maturity in how you manage your own life and treat others. Also, a
trigger warning for taxes is fucking stupid.

We all know that if you mention pic or anything bad about them: They will of course attack you sadly. Also it's funny, since everyone added these types of jewelry to their elf, dungeon and dragons, and more original characters- But now that a popular artist did it, it's automatically fetishizing.
These are the types of people getting mad over everything for brownie points but become hypocrites like that one artist Noralities who tried to shame others for fictional characters/minors and how anime lewd them only to lewd BNHA and Hanako Kun-A 14 year old boy from an anime.

Has anyone heard about this situation?
https://twitter.com/sacisaccu/status/1396003644118556674 I was wandering on twitter and saw a drama with the whole pro ship v anti ship situation. What made it different to me is the fact that the account that expose Vee (The artist who drew odd fanart of the daughter and son from Mitchells And The Machine) and how they were mostly getting shit from it.
The account in question is a locked account that was posting nsfw in public, sure there's some people who wants to support 'pro-ship', but there's people who seemed to be mad at the fact that the person who exposed them is 25 and exposed the locked account to their minor audiences.
I felt like I wanted to get people's thoughts on this situation since it seems like a shithole. I wanted to wait until a new thread was made since I can't exactly make good threads myself, but the artist seems to be digging themselves into a hole with each passing second.
No. 815660
>>815649This. It looks like the person who made the art put it on an 18+ account, and the person who made a call out took their art and made that shit public.
These dumbasses, trying to call out private accounts dish out shit that I don’t want to see.

The artist had been called out a lot of times before that for many things, it was mentioned in the Hazbin Hotel Kiwifarms thread and a tumblr thread. In one account, they faked DID to not take responsibility for something lmao.
But despite all this to be honest, the account that called them out seem weird themselves for following an account that was originally locked. Why did they follow them in the first place?
No. 815902
>>815660What's funny is that the person calling them out is using the excuse the art is innocent-looking and not NSFW and therefor they are just warning people.
Even though even if the art isn't pornographic, it still comes from an 18+ account. It still wasn't intended to be shared with minors. The account is listed as 18+, the description says everything you're gunna run into on that account.
people wouldn't "accidentally run into it" if people didn't repost art and share it while trying to call someone out because of moral superiority.
No. 816138
>>815781The account seemed to be privated before if you check the call-out, there was a vague tweet about it but the account was private due to people attacking/going after her and her 'trying to please the mob' and more. I don't know why she unprivate though?
I get she was originally a public account by the looks of it, also she has many other art accounts if you search up her Twitter handle polite puppet, one was aqua something (I'm sorry I forgot the full handle). There's just been so many accounts she has to the point it seems like she rebrands herself with each suspension and fallout.
No. 816143
>>815902It reminds me of the badturquoise situation all over again where a minor went onto a locked 18+ account and try to make a callout- despite them exposing their age and the fact they follow these 18+ accounts in the first place.
It just seems like these type of people are projecting, a lot of art drama sadly now and the only milk that has been consistent is the fact that these people like to have a moral ground when it comes to fictional characters and art while hiding their secret desires and more deep inside. I can't express how many times I rolled my eyes at 15-23 year olds expressing how they're so innocent and like babies that would never show nsfw or see nsfw, but then have an account like that on the sidelines.
No. 816164
>>816143Quick tangent, but seriously, these kids look up nsfw stuff (you know, most labeled 18+) find out that the creator is in their 20s/30s and
gasp likes/or simply draws a 15 year old fictional anime boy who doesn’t act like a rl person of their age group and draws smut of the character aged up, the audacity of this ADULT.
Like, listen, I get it if the character LOOKS young and BEHAVES like a kid, but let’s face it, most anime’s don’t show that. You can barely tell the age of most characters.

>>815642I knew I recognized that username, it's a mutual of jay and ivy lol so of course i'm not surprised at this type of behavior from them lol.
idk i feel like whenever someone is "called out" over shit like drawing weird art, it does nothing bc 1.) you're drawing attention to it (And possibly directing minors to possibly upsetting content) 2.) most of the times these r18 accounts do not use search terms and want to exist in their own space 3.) i know everyone as a kid looked up shit like this or even worse stuff and i think being online you unfortunately cannot escape that kind of content unless you just straight up don't use the internet. kids younger than 18 shouldn't be on twitter imho
i agree with the anon here
>>816143 a lot of these artists stand on this moral high ground but if you look hard enough you find their r18 accounts but it's just as degenerate as the people they're calling out. reminds me of this one somewhat popular artists who's r18 i managed to stumble upon where they post nothing but bill and ted porn
No. 816451
>>816408Honestly, I can't help but feel like Twitter will get in trouble or get too many complaints, it's just that itch. The same reason why Tumblr shut down can happened to Twitter or at least- The fact that they advertise the website on the app store as 17+ but go on to say kids younger than that can be on there not only contradicts their point but makes things confusing.
Now I know that kids tend to search and go through adult websites anyways, but mixing the two or just allowing kids on your website when it has NSFW material? Sure it has warnings, but at this point you can still get in trouble for that if I am not wrong.
What's crazy about the call out is the fact that Vee's page although is public- Had a warning when I clicked on it explaining that the user has sensitive content. Now I'm not defending this weird shit, but it's stupid to make a point of protecting minors when you go on and post this account and screenshots. Speak of the devil, seeing Jay and Ivy's mutuals made me remember that I think I saw Bug Enthusiast comment on another call out for polite puppet..
https://mobile.twitter.com/starteas/status/1396756381294686210I love that one comment that calls the pictures grooming and censored out grooming by saying 'Grxxxming'. I thought it was a younger teenager getting the term wrong or being stupid but it was a whole 19 year old who barely knew what the term grooming meant. Also some 26 year olds throwing around the term kiddy porn.
Nitpick, but I hate when people call art kiddy porn but then proceed to show it as if it's not ilegal. If it's child porn, you can't show it even if you are reprimanding the person in question, you can clearly go to jail no matter what for that especially since you would also be spreading the material around. Twitter truly ruined a generation, you can't even have normal adults use their brains to think for a moment.

No. 818339
>>818303Agreed,
>>818298 is clearly a style change. It would be a downgrade in my eyes if the artist is incapable of producing work as detailed as the left side but the right side image doesn't tell me whether they can or cannot produce work of that quality anymore.
No. 818376
>>818325Maybe as a concept artist?
I agree though, there’s obviously skill and marketability in the second style even if it’s not as detailed/realistic. The artist could’ve gotten burnt out and decided to draw in a simpler style to save time and have more fun.
No. 818417
>>818386> nor does anime take less skill to look good than realismDebatable, but yeah, 100% agree with the rest. You can’t really judge which style is better because they both contrast greatly(apply different principles), it’s just up to preference at this point.
Arguably, I would say that the person has a lot of skill because they can pull off both styles effectively

No. 818629
>>818298My issue with this isn't that it's a style change to something more simplistic, that's whatever, who cares. The thing that put a bitter taste into my mouth is the obvious shift to something extremely marketable and bland. You can argue that realism is bland too, but on the left you can see some nice experimentation with brushwork and lighting that could have been pushed further for something interesting and unique.
The animebux calls for us all, I suppose. No disrespect to the hustle, I get that you have to make money. And in the fine art world similar stuff happens too, you get pushed towards what the market favours. I guess there's no real way to make art freely if it's your career, unfortunately.

Maws is incredibly milky though. They rebrand every other month and are a huge scammer. They had a commission queue of like 200 people at one point and just kept taking on more. I'd feel sympathy for them but the amount of times they've sicked their fanbase on artists for "copying" them has been too many times to count now. They have a self admitted "God complex" and have no problem with fueling drama unless it comes back to bite them in some way and then their all "uwu I'm wholesome".
Their Kickstarter will probably be very milky when rewards need to be delivered I expect.

>>818667I don't know; why can't some of us appreciate the technical skills that come with graphical illustration? I'm sure the person could redo the old picture in that same painterly/realism style and it would look even better from what they've learned.
Why do people think the style on the right is somehow easier? It's more simple, so line placement becomes even more important.
Some of us actually do this shit for a living, so get over it that we'll appreciate it (or deprecate it) differently than 'buh buh muh realism gone'

I’m so over this art style?type? where the artist draws a generic looking anime girl, adds one or two references to an existing anime character, and calls it “(character) as a girl!”
>pic rel is Mahito from JJK.
No. 819023
>>819018Same. I always hated genderbends with a passion because more often than not they're done in very lazy ways.
This trope though is done mostly for numbers/money than anything, though. It's much easier to get big numbers if you just draw semi realistic Anime Girl with some funky/slightly sexy outfit and shiny rendering than to actually draw the male character.
No. 819030
>>819024these artist almost never draw the background. it's either a photo or a 3D asset.
the only thing i dislike about this drawing is how the lightning and shadows on the girl are too light and don't fit with the background at all. like i get it, the artist went for lighter shadows to not "hide" the girl and to keep her as the main focus, but it looks unnatural.

>>818298so. im the original anon who posted this in the first place, and this was my first post of this type i didn't post the other ones. initially i wasn't going to say anything else but i figured i'd give some two cents since the discussion afterwards got pretty heated which I didn't expect. there was a lot of discussion about realism vs anime style and i want to point out that it wasn't my intention for that to be the focus. My original intention was how putting these two images next to one another felt ridiculous because they're so hard to compare as such vastly different styles. I just didn't understand what I was suppossed to be looking at. just wondered what the point was and so i pasted the image without thinking. that's it.
but as an add on. i think that because these art styles are so far apart i dont think we can objectively argue which is better or worse and that should've really been the end of it lol

>>819334I see the same thing a lot too. A lot of times, the artists will just trace over a kpop star’s face, like Yueko’s famous “Ahri” which is a trace of Taeyeon. These artists get a lot of engagement from both kpop stans and comers, which leads to more people doing it.

However it's just so lazy, there's absolutely nothing to this type of art other than pandering to the kpop and coomer groups and looking impressive to mediocre normies. It's just so empty.
