Western thread was deleted before I could answer. Whoever it was that put up the post showing how western art was restricted, thanks for letting me know. Someone might want to put it into the official rules on the actual "rules" page, though, because that post you showed was from over four months ago. In any case, I'll cease and desist; here's a peace offering, /d/, we's can be friends nao?

This is a HENTAI, yes, HENTAI, you know, a HENTAI board. It should be blatantly obvious that non HENTAI (ie WESTERN ART) isn't permitted. Because this is a HENTAI board and HENTAI is a JAPANESE word, you see.

Hm. So I guess that's a no? Not friends? Oh well. I tried.

I notice that the powers that be felt the need to make note of the fact that western art is forbidden from /h/; funny thing since it's blatantly obvious and there shouldn't be any question in anyone's mind.

I am curious though, since I see you're the person to ask, how would you classify artwork with anime/hentai subject matter drawn in western style? Or the reverse: is western content still hentai if it's drawn by a Japanese artist?

it's funny when western art fags call people weeaboos when they're the ones calling western art by a japanese word.

It is odd. Content in rules for /d/ that is officially banned seems to be ok. Western art that is not listed as banned in /d/ is not ok. Seems to be a major dissagreement between those who make and post rules and those who enforce the invisible ones.
Please correct rules posted for /d/. Thanks.

Interestingly (or maybe not that interesting, but I'll say it anyhow) HENTAI in Japan does not necessarily mean what we use it to mean, partly because "anime" doesn't mean in Japan what it means here either. "Anime" is just a shortened form of the word "animation," as you've no doubt noticed, and as far as the Japanese are concerned it refers to any and all styles of animation, western, eastern or otherwise.

"Hentai" has taken on a negative connotation and generally means perverted or something to that effect, so to say something is "hentai anime" just means it's some artwork of adult/perverted nature. Not necessarily Japanese in origin.

Point is, while I concede that in America hentai is generally associated with Japanese artwork and animation, if you use the original Japanese definition there's nothing that limits it to any one art style.

That's your lesson for today, class dismissed.

If it isn't in an anime style or drawn well then it isn't permitted. End of discussion.

Why do people like you think that Western art belongs in /d/? It says "hentai" in the board name and in no way does "alternative" refer to Western art at all, despite what dumbfucks say. All the rules of /h/ apply here, the only difference is the picture subject, not the art style. lurk moar

I agree with this misterious friend.
Hentai = whatever of art of the porn.
I don't want lose western art why anybody don't like western art! Fuck this!
Dmitrys, Kinky Jimmy, High Heeled Jill and others are best in western art and probably others.
And you're courageous enough for draw one image and post here??? And after, all judging and criticise your work. Are you???

It's about the style, not the location of the artist. I mean, A LOT of Hentai is drawn by non-Asians...it's only Hentai if it stays within the "anime" style. Anything else is referred to as "western" or "cartoonish".
>> Western x Hentai x Crappy art OCEAN

Yeah? And japanese artists drawing western art, how you call this? Hentai western?
My definition of art: "If is good, is hentai!"

And crappy art from one japanese drawing? That is hentai?

I call it western art. Also, your definition of art is highly outrageous.

Only weeaboos think that hentai means "anime porn". If you took some porn drawn in a Marvel style and showed it to a Japanese person, they would still call it fucking hentai. Pull your heads out of your asses and change the rule to "Only art of Japanese origin is allowed" if you're going to be such dicks about it. Fuck, somebody posts quality art that's 10x higher quality than most of what gets posted here, and instead of being grateful that somebody is contributing to the community, you bitch and moan because as far as you know it wasn't made in Japan. Grow the fuck up.

Oh shut the fuck up. It's still a community. That's what this sort of website as, no matter what you would like to think. And it thrives off of user-submitted content. /d/ in particular suffers from having extremely high quantities of low quality content, but people don't complain because it's drawn in a Japanese style and because it satisfies their particular fetish. So it's obvious people don't care about the quality of the site when they complain about how quality content that gets posted if said content doesn't look Japanese.

You have the second half of a good post here. No one says "alternative" means Western, just that "hentai" can mean any kind of erotic artwork, including western. But to say that the only difference in the rules between /h/ and /d/ is picture subject, not art style, seems to me like a perfectly legitimate point. Good job, go have a cookie.

>>670474
-or- someone could just state, in the rules listed on the main page rather than a four-month-old post, that western art is not permitted on 4chan. Then we wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place. 4chan doesn't want western art, that's perfectly fine, I know I'm sure as hell not gonna post any more. All I'm saying is either MAKE IT A RULE or STFU.

Final word from the OP and I'm done: I like good erotic art. I don't care if it's western or eastern, Japanese or American (or Russian, whatever) as long as it's good. I like a wide variety of subject matter, including lots of the stuff you see on /d/ /h/ and /e/. All types of erotic art have good and bad pics because-- let's face it-- some people can't draw for shit and race has nothing to do with it. So stop being so elitist about a bunch of fapping fodder and just enjoy it for what it is.

Peace out y'all.

This isn't a discussion board, nor is it a base to commit acts of trolling or flaming.
Why the fuck are you people trying to draw up more drama from a thread that's already been deleted due to excessive drama and rulebreaking.
This isn't a place to justify yourself or take offense asinine shit. Everybody here knows (or should know) that western art is bannable, and that's the end of the story. Arguing about it isn't going to change anything, and ruins the overall quality of the board.
If you actually want to contribute to the board, post(valid, /d/-orientated) pictures. If you want to troll and flame, get the fuck out and get back to /b/.
>> Anonymous
i am just fucking amazed that no one who reads the rules can figure out that /d/, /e/, etc are subsets of /h/ and that the rules of /h/ still apply to them unless otherwise noted

unless of course this is just a fucking troll which is pretty damn likely
>> OCEAN
If western is banned here in /d/, I want propose for the idea of open of one new board: Western/Alternative or whatever, I don't care with the name.
All contain western art!!! In porn, of course.

Anybody agree with my idea?

Of course we all agree with your idea. But naturally, Moot doesn't care about any board that isn't /po/ or /b/, and as such he won't make another board, especially as it will probably cost him money. Trust me, your idea has been pitched before.

/d/ - Hentai/Alternative

1. "Alternative" images including: futanari, bondage, tentacles, etc. are welcome. Caveats below.
2. Images depicting bestiality, guro, or generally seen to be "extreme" in nature are not to be uploaded.

WHERE, EXACTLY, DOES IT SAY WESTERN ART IS BANNED?
All this drama starts because a few sagefags think /d/ is their dominion / personal resposibility / whatever. If you quit bitching about western art the threads will die faster.

TL;DR: IF THE RULES PAGE IS CHANGED TO BAN WESTERN ART, MORE POWER TO YOU WEEABOO FAGGOTS. UNTIL THEN, GTFO AND LET ME FAP IN PEACE.

Well done using "weeaboo" as an insult on /d/! That's like calling a Nazi a "racist".

Also, the "rule" about Western art isn't "sagefags thinking /d/ is their own", it was made by a moderator, a guy who has more power than you or any sagefag combined. Western art has always been hated and bannable here, long before the mod made that comment.

Looking through the rules of 4chan (and to be honest I think that Global Rule 3 is broken in /d/ way more than the invisible Western one), and it says for /h/ "no Western art AT THIS TIME"... which implies that Western art was allowed once, or at least was posted at some point which led to a mod making that rule. Which makes me wonder, how much drama and faggotry did /h/ have to go through before they got their rules changed?

Shitty art should be deleted whether it is western or japanese. Quality art should be left up whether it is western (ex: Dmitrys) or japanese. If you can't scroll past a thread that you dont like then, I dunno, MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE ON FUCKING 4CHAN.

Doesn't mean a thing. Put the "rule" into the fucking rules, or it's not one. It'd take two seconds to do it, and no anonymous mod ever HAS, therefore it's not real. It's their personal bias, and while this IS 4chan, that still doesn't make it a rule.
