Seriously, what's the deal with voyeuristic fan art in the wiki?
Wow, overreaction much? Hit a sensitive spot there or something? I'm just stating my opinion, and the presence of fan art doesn't bother me. But I'd like it better if they weren't there to clutter the images in our wiki."Hit a sensitive spot? Is that a reference to anything in particular? O_o
When it comes down to it, the wiki's image sections aren't moderated enough. Do we need to do some full out Internet Fascism (tm) on Fan Art? Probably not. But we do need to try to cut down on all the creepy tit art that always ends up on a page's image collection. Whether that's by segregation of said creepy tit art or by a more selective image submission process, I don't know.
" From the site FAQ:I feel I need to take some responsibility for this. The rule about hentai above is actually a mistake. That text was written specifically for the Anime Vice help page and accidentally got merged into the GB help page. There is no hentai allowed on GB. Also, Hentai images are no longer allowed on Anime Vice. The text of our help page will be updated next code deploy.Fan art is explicitly called out as acceptable. Some of the stuff on the site is really pushing it though. Also, I demand a fight between Killjoi and Newten. Two mods enter, one mod leaves! "Image upload best practices
Do not submit images with watermarks! Submit high rez images under 1 meg in size whenever possible.
- Images can include box art, screenshots, concept art, fan art, and more. When uploading images, we strongly encourage users to either associate their images with an appropriate gallery, or create a new gallery when necessary.
- Avoid adding images tagged or watermarked with other sites' URLs.
- Nudity is not allowed in the message boards. Hentai or nude images are only allowed in the wiki or the wiki's gallery IF it is official art from the publisher ( So no hentai fan art in the wiki or wiki galleries ). Hentai, unofficial art and unofficial hentai are allowed on profile image galleries.
Brilliant. This site is for videogames and I shouldn't be exposed to ridiculous videogame pseudo-porn in our wiki. The official line is keep it clean and go elsewhere to indulge your Lara Croft fetish.
Oh no, sexual imagery! Shield my eyes!
Now I'm going to go and tear more people in half vertically in Mortal Kombat
" This counts for user galleries as well so if you have any hentai images in your own gallery be sure to remove it. "Alternatively, this is everyone's last chance to go on a madcap romp through the wiki galleries and save as much hentai to their hard drives as possible.
" Oh no, sexual imagery! Shield my eyes!Now I'm going to go and tear more people in half vertically in Mortal Kombat "Slicing Sonya in two turns me on ;) Mortal Kombat is an example that sexualized depiction of woman is a big thing in video games, thus certain semi erotic images do have their place as long as they are not pornographic. Erotic fan art however, should not exist on this site
" This counts for user galleries as well so if you have any hentai images in your own gallery be sure to remove it. "So does that mean we need to start checking galleries? And if we find stuff like that do we send it to you guys?
@Killjoi: Your lower image is really really inapropreate, I realize you posted it to make a point but still...
" @The_Laughing_Man Are you really going to start searching through everyone's image galleries? Really? "Not at all. I wanna know what to do with images if I do find them. Never said that. I intend to go though a few galleries I KNOW have images like that. But I am not going out of my way to find them.
Just checking, but the first image in the first post of the thread isn't supposed to be inappropriate, is it? It's just some girl sleeping. The second one, sure, toss it out, but the first one seems fine for an image gallery.
@natetodamax said:Ooooh, that's makes a little more sense. But surely some people are responsible enough to get rid of the images on their own? I just think it's a little weird for someone to actively search through peoples galleries just to get them in trouble." @The_Laughing_Man Are you really going to start searching through everyone's image galleries?

" The only downside to this is that Giant Bomb will no longer be the number one destination for naked cartoon pussy. "Still holding down first place on Google. BUT FOR HOW LONG?
Finally! Internet Fascism saves the day! What about all the creepy hentai games themselves? Are the absolutely NSFW images there going to be trashed too, or should we go the whole way and just delete the stuff? It's not like all these pages weren't created for fapping material in the first place.

If you search Rapelay you know what you're going to find, with Samus you shouldn't have to wade through irrelevant NSFW fanart.
I blame the internet with the times on giantbomb when someone let some images go through without checking them beforehand. Noticed this too while looking through some character art & found some users who haven't been on the site in a while who just dumped a ton of fan art (mostly art not very good quality or like what you found which was better left in other corners of the internet instead of here). Too bad it's been a while otherwise to remember where it was on the site otherwise I think it'd be time to go through the site with a broom & sweep out some of the junk from the site that's better off gone in many cases or at least looked over again in an offical view to see if it should be on the site.
