>>111159>[x] allowed to stay upYes, that is the point. Very little is actually flat-out deleted unless it is in clear violation of the few "do not" rules that almost all imageboards share. I won't comment too deeply one way or another on the transexual shit but quite frankly, if you've lurked here or on another imageboard and can't figure out that certain attitudes and words are not treated as grounds for immediate crucifiction, it might be time to just not visit the site anymore.
>>open contempt for artist by autist that got on their bad side by being autisticThere's plenty of things the "louder" artists type/say that is generally contemptible and has been discussed as such, contempt didn't just start because "Lucky Star Fan With Anger Issues" had a meltdown and got exposed.
>>piracy and circulation of art deleted by artist for any reason1. The only way anything is going to stay deleted is if the content ends up suffering from "link rot" where no one cared to keep track of the content and it's genuinely lost forever.
2. Piracy is preservation. Artist goes nuclear and you like their art but didn't save anything? Welp, they had their meltdown and now there's nothing.
3. Every time the issue of piracy and payment comes up, there isn't a single post that's AGAINST paying artists for their work that ISN'T called out for being asinine. Plenty of different Patreon models are working for various artists, if it isn't working for You™, it might be time to revisit something: maybe the pricing, the process, or even the mindset of going full-time porn artist.
>>no active artist community since the days of wootCrazy how there are lots of little locked-off and insular Discord & Twitter circlejerks but you bemoan the lack of an active artist community. I wonder who's fault that is? Surely you can't be implying that the existence of the imageboard is at fault and not the artists themselves, right?
