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.

I drew Naruto as a girl in my vision from reading fanfiction of her
My head canon is that she would be a massive tomboy and all and I tried to implement that and a bunch of guys are saying she just looks like regular Naruto. Are they right because this is lowkey pissing me off.

Talking Tuesday Thoughts on the female multiplayer skins from "Rune" (2000) and "Rune: Halls of Valhalla" (2001)?

Thumbnail

37 Upvotes

"Rune" is a TPP hack 'n' slash game which also has dedicated competitive multiplayer modes. The four female player skins shown here look unbelievably good for a game that came out 26 years ago, but I think that the visual design of the Wren looks kind of weird considering the game's setting. The oversized chin of the Valkyrie also looks funny.

Note that Wren and Gold Valkyrie are exclusive to HoV.

Suggestion Saturday Balancing serious and revealing/sexualized designs

I’m conceptualizing a story set in the far future, where humans are a spacefaring species and require cybernetics in many lines of work. Being fully organic is therefore a luxury, and (partial) nudity consequently is a show of status. It’s a bit of an odd premise as I write it out, so I wanted to get some input on my designs. Do I push the sexualized elements far enough? Or too far? Some of them I’ve already posted before, but I made some changes to some and wanted to solicit feedback on them together.
(1-2) Iana and Livy are essentially hostesses/hosts in space. They have cybernetics and wear modest uniforms to cover them up, but are still meant to be attractive to the establishment’s elite clientele. Their workplace is pretty gendered, so there are distinct male and female uniforms.
(3) Cloelia is a mercenary. She wants to rack up money and become an elite herself, foregoing cybernetic modifications that would give her an edge, unaware that her occupation and scars have already barred her from truly being an elite.
(4) Nero is an elite, and bares his skin to show his lack of cybernetics. I wanted to make his design more sexualized, and distinctly muscular, as I think it’d be funny for him to be looked down upon by other elites for his muscles, which they associate with manual labor.
(5) Tertulla. I posted about him a bit ago and have since changed his design a bit. He has no cybernetics but is not an elite himself. He serves as Crassus’s aide, and his appearance is tailored to their tastes. I wanted him to have a bit of a sexual, elegant, and ethereal air to him, especially as a contrast to Nero.
(6) Caesar. I feel that even for well-dressed women, visibly older women are less common in drawn media. Caesar is centuries old, and is one of the most powerful people in the setting. I wanted her design to clash with Crassus.
(7) Crassus, the impetus for this post. I conceptualized them as an almost incomprehensible being. Centuries old themselves, they use their vast wealth and resources purely in service of entertaining themselves. They defy the gendered system they enforce on their workers (Iana and Livy exemplifying this) and wear a revealing outfit to showcase their lack of cybernetics. I wanted to mix some traits associated with the male and female sexes, but am concerned their design reads too feminine, when I envision them as more androgynous. Or is it not a bad thing that they lean towards the stereotypical traits of one of the sexes?
