The exact same thing happened with Jojo's Bizarre Adventure fanart early on in the thread's history, it got shouted down until people just stopped posting it. Instead of just saying "let people post what they want, just scroll past", you're policing what people can and can't post just because of a vocal number of people complaining. It's not because the content is objectionable, like, say, Kantai Collection, but because of a general dislike for the thing, or for the poster posting them. I understand wanting to cull the amount of complaints since mods and admins no doubt get a lot across the forums every day, but implementing an arbitrary "quality" rule that you alone decide is a bad stance to take, my dude. As well, acquiescing to the people complaining only invigorates them to do it more to things they dislike, as they see it will get results.

Not everything is a gimmick. I have posted plenty of non-undertale fanworks in this thread, it's not all Undertale.

edit: for example, I'm not a particular fan of the figma stuff or the guy who poorly draws oversized giant people with tiny heads. But I can just scroll past them, because it's not a big deal.

Anyone else posting Undertake fanart is rolling the dice, so it better be good.

I don't watch Gundam or WH40K. Can I start reporting people who post Gundam and WH40K fan art in the fan art thread?

I love Undertale, I backed the game, and my name is in the credits, I could go my entire life without seeing a 1,000th picture of Undyne looking badass in thread. No one would care if you just posted the best fan art you found every once in awhile, but you’ve been posting the limit of art pretty much every single day since you’ve played the game.

I don't really care for Undertale stuff by this point but this seems like more than a little much. If people are that upset by Undetale fanart that seems more like a problem with those posters than Invictus by this point, especially with the conditions for posting laid down in the OP.

Anyway, content:

For what reason? Five thumbnailed images are very easy to scroll past, and outside of a few occasional complainers, bickering about it has largely stopped compared to the previous thread. Or people can put me on ignore if it bothers them that much, and many have, and that's okay. There are folks who do enjoy the undertale posts, and I enjoy finding new fanart to post, so why single out someone because they're posting fanart of something they enjoy, and have evidence that others enjoy?

Not everyone likes it, but there are options for those people, like the ignore feature. I think it's a little kneejerky to acquiesce to the people who can't just go by without raising a stink.

please do not post the anthropomorphized gun anime game. it is in exceedingly poor taste, much like kantai collection.

Can't have your cake and eat it too. It's done. Give it a rest until they say otherwise. If I earn a probation for that then so be it.

Now, let's try to swing this poo poo back around to fun/cool/crazy art of things. Have some Metroid. You know, when you can make it past all the weird giant boobs/butts/feet fetishes people seem to have for Samus, there's some pretty decent fanart for this series.

As an aside, it was mentioned briefly a while ago but I think we should all try to more to credit where the art we're posting comes from-it's a courtesy to the artists, and it's good for posters who want to find context for a post or more art by a specific artist.

The comparison isn't even remotely similar. Kantai Collection sexualizes children, full stop. Even without getting into the issues of taking machines of war that historically were involved in horrific war atrocities and turning them into sexy ladies, having characters that are gradeschoolers in thongs is not okay. The gun version that the dude posted fanart of appeared to have what seems to be an israel stand-in character blowing up some middle-eastern slums like a big drat action hero? Unless I'm misconstruing that image. Comparing them to Undertale which is specifically a story about making you consider your actions and their ramifications on others, candy-coated in a goofy shell, is asinine.

Also, it was simply a request not to post them, which was immediately and explicitly ignored. Which was fine. But then mods and admins start coming in and laying down decrees, and now we're here.

You have been posting Undertale fan art every single day for literally years. Years. The fact that you have, as part of your daily routine, carved out a slice of time in which you consciously go and seek out fan art from a specific game and post it in this thread and take it real drat personal when you're told to stop by an admin is a window into your personal psychosis that no one needs or wants.

Imagine being extremely upset about not being able to post fanart from one game and then writing walls of text about it

That'd be crazy

But really I think the lesson here is that fanart gets less interesting when its dumped in large amounts for the same content and isn't particularly unique. Even if you love the franchise it creates fatigue. I could spam this thread with pokemon fanart I see on tumblr everyday but people would get sick of it real fast even if I enjoy it.

jfc the moderator gets to decide what they want to keep the quality of the thread up and they don't owe you objectivity, if you're making GBS threads things up then stop goddamn. there's also the reality that CI can go other places on the net to post that content, like Undertale communities etc so no one's takin' away his rights or anything

I think that, if you ever reach a point where you are known to a not insignificant number of people as the guy who has exclusively posted fanart from a single game, every day for years, in a fanart thread in a subsection of a dying internet comedy forum, then you may want to consider that the fault lies with you.

Yeah, it wasn't serious but it was an extremely stupid and bad idea, which I quickly realized, but people insisted on driving it and the thread into the ground beyond the justified initial making GBS threads on me for it. Folks hold some real serious grudges in here. What was the original post someone said? "The best part of this thread is the simmering grudges the posters have"?
