An Important Message to the Staff
Well, having seen the news update, I can confirm that the loss of the blog the first time was definitely due to a crash. Since I need the blog now, I'm just starting over instead of waiting. While I'm here, I think now would be a good time to talk to the staff regarding an important detail that I often have to worry about.
I often find myself on the receiving end of worry from friends and family, even strangers. That worry is about the content I post. They seem to be worried about the fact that I'm working with child nudity, specifically involving female characters. Now, I did read the rules and I did see that I can't post anything illegal in Australia. Unfortunately, that was also where a highly-publicized case of an arrest over Simpsons fanart occurred. The rule's even vaguely suggest worry about "child abuse content."
The purpose of this blog is to question societal standards of nudity in animation. And in doing that, I find myself working within specific rules that are just a little bit outside society's, but still fit within them from a logical perspective. That means in all art I post, female breasts, genitals, and anuses are censored in my artwork, especially that of children. The buttocks, however, are not, and in much of my art are even shown quite liberally.
I do not see that as child abuse. I make sure to consult my artists all the time to portray the situation as more humorous than sexual. The thing is, the art is strictly designed to match cases of male nudity, albeit with the female nipples censored for society's sake. The same goes for the Examples I post and posted last time; I go out of my way to avoid posting sexual pictures, which means carefully considering every aspect of the picture to make sure it fits within the standards of society.
In essence, rather than a pornographer, I'm much closer to a crusader.
That may frighten you at first, but it's for a good purpose, so if you take umbrage with the blog, I must ask you to not immediately ban me. I'm willing to negotiate and compromise, so if you see a picture that's "too much", please let me know so I can take care of it. Also, in most cases I will be forgoing the NSFW tab. That means children can indeed access my work. This is intentional: I believe it's better that female nudity children find be safe, cute, censored material as opposed to uncensored pornographic works.
Are we set?
Good. Let's begin again.
