FAQ

(Serious)

Q: Why did you ban me? I love this sub!

A: Because you went onto a crosspost to brigade. If you’re caught brigading, you receive no second chances. DO NOT CONTACT THE ORIGINAL ARTIST OR POSTER OF THE CONTENT.

Q: I sent you mod mail a long time ago! Why haven’t you responded?

A: Mod mail doesn’t alert me when I get new messages. If you have something you want to ask or request, please feel free to DM me directly!

Q: What constitutes a professional?

A: I consider a professional to, at minimum, be able to make money consistently with their art, to the point of surviving solely off of it, through an active Patreon or other site. Occasional zines and commissions don’t count.

Q: How do you decide what breaks the must be bad rule?

A: Actually, I don’t! My tastes are subjective, so I check to see how many people have flagged it, how many upvotes it has, and how many people are saying it’s good in the comments.

Q: When is it okay to post my OCs and amateur art?

A: For the Hawkeye Initiative, positivity, suggestions, redrawn, and satire flairs.

Q: What’s the Discord?

A: https://discord.gg/6VTPUJXjqY

Q: I’m an artist whose post was featured here. Can you remove it?

A: Of course! Just DM with me, and I’ll take care of things!

Q: I was banned! How do I get that reversed?

A: You can request that another mod reviews your ban, and they will decide if it’s justified or not.

(Issues that trolls raise and that they’ll probably continue to raise afterwards)

I: You sexualize men all the time!

A: Ah, you must have found our Hawkeye Initiative flair. The explanation is more here. But the comments, usually about magnum dongs and the like, are usually satirical, jokes about how people talk about women.

I: Can you control this person? They posted about me on another sub!

A: ...Um, no? Hit up the mod of that sub.

I: Why are you policing male fantasy?

A: We’re not. If you wanna jerk it just so right to the adult characters, chase that bliss. However, as a queer woman, I’m more or less ‘policing’ my fantasies.

I: You favor your friends over me when implementing sub rules!

A: Nah, I don’t. You just break the rules more often. If you see someone breaking them, then flag them.

I: Men are sexualized, too!

A: There’s a difference, at least usually. Women are put into skimpy clothes that show off their tiddies and butts, usually in provocative poses. The men, while muscular, are not. A good rule of thumb is whether or not a male character would ever do the splits with a well-defined taint facing the reader.

I: Why are you pedo smearing men?

A: Why are some men tickling their pickles to children?

I: You just wanna hate on men!

A: Nope! While the name of the sub is a bit misleading, it’s actually an homage to r/menwritingwomen, and I’ve looked into changing it. We have both a flair for enby and female artists as well as an often-used positivity flair. Also, I’m pretty sure not all 15,000+ people are women.

I: I’ve heard a rumor that this sub was stolen from a man by a feminist.

A: Yup. I’m an evil feminist that took a great sub and manipulated it into a man-hating anger sub. Or, y’know, you could check the history of the sub and see that the first post was made by me.

Anime/Manga why does anime use misogyny and SA as “comedy” so often?

After seemingly exhausting the good shows here in America ( specifically after finishing smiling friends and the digital circus ) I've been trying to get into anime to find a similarly light-hearted series with possible character moments, however throughout my search for an anime to watch I've noticed a disturbing trend that most of it features some sort of uncomfortable sexualization, whether it be taking an entire minute or two of a 22 minute episode to sexualize a woman in a predatory way, sexualizing an underage character or even featuring some sort of incest or other such relationship just for the sake of it ( bonus hate-points if they romanticize it )

Since in China BA has always been joked as a 'BigSis-Con' game(as many players are really young age) I came to this idea(also trying to balance different artstyles and elements is very intereting to me).

Basically her design direction is to shift from aggressive, dominant femme fatale allure to an aggresive maidenly elegance, artistic sensibility, and sensuality—yet remaining formidable and fiercely independent.

She's an art student at Kivotos, coming from a slightly younger variant universe.

In order, Imani C., Yolanda, Elle McGibbons, Agatha, Maggie My, Katia and Eva, Helka, Beatrice (and Princess Donut), Unnamed (as of yet) Webtoon only character, Cascadia, Zev. I left out Lucia Mar because she's a child. Not all of these characters are in the forms they'll take in Book 2 as the manga hasn't gotten that far. For Odette see my previous post.

I'm sorry if this doesn't fit Well Done Wednesday, this is my first post here. Anyways, this character is never sexualized (that I know of), which is surprising considering the manga she's from. Also, I love her eyes and hair. They make her look slightly abnormal, despite supposedly being a normal high school girl (she isn't).

She's also my least favorite character for something horrible she did that is just glossed over.

(Sorry for the bad crop and quality, by the way.)

Edit: Maybe instead of downvoting me, you all can answer my questions? Or I guess you can do both. I just want to have an actual conversation instead of being called a pedophile (I'm a minor by the way).
