 :). In my opinion, art like the manga portrait is art as well. Also, it's quite difficult to find a good-looking piece of modern art because almost everything is copyrighted, such as Miyazaki's works (which of course, i'd love to include).

Fie, video games have lots of purposes, as do most form of art. What is the main purpose of a painting? decoration? making money? Paintings have lots of purposes, as do movies, novels, and yes games! I do seriously call Pong and Pac-Man "art" - fairly primative art (in the sense in which a child's doodles are primative, not in the sense in which a hunter-gatherer culture's art is sometimes called primative), but art. Whether something is good art, is a seperate question from whether it is art at all. Pong and Pac-Man barely began to explore the key techniques of interactivity. Moreover, video games have come a long way from Pong and Pac-man. Games like Myst, Torment, Grand Theft Auto, Grim Fandango, or Nordic Arthaus LARPs aren't even primative art.

the donation banner's changed to say "please keep wikipedia free"

"ads!?!??!? omg no!!! that would hurt the integrity of the site" *paywall*

This actually makes sense. Newspapers and news broadcasts around here (and pretty much everywhere) usually live on advertisement and that gives the advertisers too much leverage.

What happened in my city was that the mayor and his organization ended up paying for the majority of the local newspapers' advertisements, being in charge of a huge part of their profit. Then, when the newspapers would run a story against the mayor, he'd threaten to remove all advertisement. It took maybe 8-9 years before the journalists got annoyed enough by it to disregard it entirely. In larger groups, these policies never really go away because you can just fire people and hire new ones.

Advertisement is a bigger risk to the integrity of a publication than a paywall, IMO. Paywalls might just kill it, but it'd go down with some integrity I guess?

Deutsch: Eine Illustration des Begriffs Hentai, der in Japan für alles steht was als „pervers“ angesehen wird. Außerhalb Japans wird der Begriff für Zeichnungen oder Animationen im Stil von japanischen Comics und Anime verwendet, die Geschlechtsverkehr darstellen, oder zumindest die primären Geschlechtsmerkmale darstellen. Einzelne Bilder, die nicht einer Geschichte angehören, werden dabei häufig so gezeichnet, das die männliche Figur nur teilweise zu sehen ist. Dies soll, wie bei Erōges, dem Betrachter die Möglichkeit geben sich näher mit dem meist männlichen Part zu identifizieren.

English: Drawing to illustrate the concept of hentai.
