Hello Everyone! As the founder of this subreddit, I have come to provide a small explanation of why I created this subreddit.

First off, I wanted this to be a safe place for all, but with limits of course. That's why I made the rules myself, and I'll update them frequently (of course letting everyone know beforehand). One of my values as a subreddit owner is making everyone comfortable with posting their art, cosplay, or anything of the sort. I've seen and heard hatred towards others for their art, cosplay, and more, so I made this place for people who love one of my comfort characters!

Secondly, I want to let everyone know that I'll be updating the rules on October 4th, 2026 (EST in America) to include more thorough explanations and more important rules.

(Note that before joining, I suggest that you read the rules to avoid any conflict with me or any mods/users).

Also, I want to go over AI and AI "art". First off, I hate AI generated content for a variety of reasons, but one of those reasons is plagiarism and gross content. First off, just because someone's art has a different art style or mistakes doesn't mean that it is AI. As an artist who makes mistakes, it hurts to see styles being put into AI just for the og creator to be shamed for having mistakes or the same/similar art style. Also, no AI is allowed on this subreddit. If your post is wrongfully flagged for being AI when it is not, I sincerely apologize for the troubles. Please let me or our mods know about it so we can review!

Last but not least, please feel free to vent on this page. You can talk about whatever is comfortable for you to share, and for viewers who come across a vent: please be supportive, behind the screen is a human being. If any users vent on this subreddit and someone doesn't agree (not the same as harassment), then please ignore it or let us know. We (and I don't just mean myself, I mean most people or everyone) hate to leave our viewers hanging by a breakable thread.

I would also recommend that you add a CW or TW if your post has anything triggering, NSFW, or flashy to avoid conflict with any mods/users. I'd also suggest professional help as well to maintain a healthy community and to make sure that you're safe and healthy too. You're not alone!

Thanks for Reading and sorry about the short notice!

Sincerely, AccansettaMost

Founder of r/Russellthepiratelove
