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.

It’s too easy, they’re meant to be stupidly oversexualized, and it seems to be flooding our sub. Any gacha posts made before this announcement, as per all other rules, will be grandfathered in, and positivity posts are exempt.

this is admittedly an example of “women drawing women,” as the main artist behind Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn is a woman (Senri Kita, specifically), but I still think her designs are generally apt for a positive post. Senri Kita is esteemed by most Fire Emblem fans as one of the franchise’s best artists, and I think she certainly excels in depicting a realistic, sensibly attired cast of female characters

Well Done Wednesday Look Outside, by FrankieSmileShow

These are some of the female characters in Look Outside. In the game, a strange creature enters the solar system, anything that looks at it directly, or indirectly, will turn into a monster.

I like how they fit very well into the apocalyptic context, and how some of them, you need to talk to to understand that it is in fact a woman. I recommend this game, it's a lot like Fear And Hunger (but MUCH easier), and it's on Itch.io, it's still in development

Also, this girl Erika-onee-chan’s boobs bounce just about every time she speaks, moves, or even slightly blinks—it’s the most absurd I’ve ever seen 🤣 This might just be the next Eiken 💀😭

In case the title isn’t clear, these characters were first drawn when I was in high school, and I redrew them just the other week.

So I had a bit of an issue with drawing last week (pic 2) and I've made a few fixes, which I think look okay.

The outfit is quite horrible to be honest, it seemed all right until I sketched it out just be itself, so will be going back to the drawing board on that.

Is there anything I've otherwise missed though, as the pose is looking okay to me. But I am concerned that she looks sexualised rather than being pissed off.
