This post was flagged for deletion: Off-topic.

Haha, oh wow. Someone sure got trigger-happy.

My actions are pretty measured actually. All of these that I've flagged are off topic, plain and simple. Them being good doesn't change that.

I'd probably agree with you on post #636683 or even post #1208296 but this and the rest? C'mon.

I bet flagging wouldn't have even occurred to you if the source was pixiv and the artist was Japanese.

Well, if the artist were Japanese that would actually satisfy the "on-topic" criteria, I believe...

This is certainly not on-topic as it is, though - taking into account artist, style, and subject.

There are more than enough exceptions for good off-topic material for this to be more than acceptable.

Indeed.

Yeah, because people are uploading and approving shit they shouldn't.

Actually you are wrong.

And flagging this is your bad. The rules never say that this is for Japanese artists only.
You as a Janitor should know better.

Oh as an extra proof, Devianart is one of the recommended sites for images.

"Deviantart, English language gallery for posting your own art. "

As long as its anime like, and its good, it's approved.

The things that aren't exactly accepted here is the "western style" of cartoons. Which is pretty... hard to know what is the line. There are animes that use western style animation (P&S).
The line between anime and cartoons is pretty fussy already. So i highly doubt you can take this into consideration practically.

This drawing isn't exactly the top of the mountain of what is an Anime like drawing, but it is however, colored and designed a lot anime like.

This 2 posted before, are pretty far from being animelike at all. It's pretty close western or realistic (even with the fussy line) however, at least the earth eating one, it's good in quality. The other one could be deleted.

Flagging can fuck right off TBH.

Well I know that.

Good thing I never said anything like that then. Danbooru is for stuff that's related to Japan though, and practically all of this lady's art isn't even related in some of the really specious ways that are acceptable.

Unless your criteria are strictly geographical (artists and copyrights from Japan) it seems pretty much impossible to distinguish between what is related to Japan and what isn't though.

Anyways, since the site's an archive and the variety of art sources, styles, themes, etc. is limitless, being inclusive might be preferable to being exclusive in all but the most clear-cut cases, and apparently this isn't such a case.
