This debate comes up every now and then. In fact, I was one of the stupidass newfags that brought it up when I first found my way to /d/, trying to post western art here because /h/ had an aneurysm over it and saying it was okay because the rules for /d/ didn't specifically exclude it. Yes, I know, the rules don't specifically say you can't post western stuff in /d/. Yes, I know there is a lot of good quality western art out there, some of it much better than some of the anime artwork out there. Yes, I know that technically the term "anime" is inclusive of ALL forms of animation regardless of where or from whom that animation originated- As far as the Japanese are concerned, Spongebob Squarepants is "anime" too. I know these things, but that doesn't change what you're up against.
Now, I happen to like western art, but that's not the point. The point is, IT ISN'T WANTED HERE. You aren't doing yourself or anyone else any favors by posting it on /d/. Don't bother trying to argue your case. No one's going to say, "Oh, he's right, let's let him post shitty western on /d/ now because his argument made so much sense." It just makes you look like a douchebag, and it'll make you real unpopular real quick.
Search for, and share, western art somewhere else- I recommend wwoec.com, though you'll have to sort through a fair amount of crap to find the good stuff. Sometimes you can get away with it on /b/ but that depends on anon's mood at the time-- other than that, keep it off 4chan entirely unless your goal is to start a shitstorm. . . . tl;dr- NO WESTERN ART.
