/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Isn't this a direct result of a transexual Pixiv staff suing for sexual harassment? I haven't seen many bring up that incident since even though there's articles saying Pixiv would review it's workplace policies

>>41051251
I believe so, but we'll have to see.

>>41051239
the japanese artist are afraid of AI's machine learning and creating artwork from their artwork, that's a huge issue there now, no one cares about pixiv, that platform is dead.

>>41051239

Aren't all of those about Pixiv as a workplace, not the content hosted on the site.

>>41051279
They should have been worried in like 2018 not 2022

>>41051281
This is my question as well. Will this affect the art that gets posted on the site?

>>41051281
>>41051315
Nothing about site content in there, but when this happens it's always a question of "when" rather than "if." Pixiv also knows they can't turn into Twitter; they already lost their users due to policy changes pertaining to copyright.

>>41051279

Speaking of AI created art, I saw this background art pack on DLsite few days ago. Product disclaimer doesn't say it's AI created, but it certainly looks like so. One artist I know on twitter even creates scenery art with midijourney that looks like it. I wonder what policies Japanese marketplaces like Booth or DLsite have for AI created works.

>>41051356

>they already lost their users due to policy changes pertaining to copyright.

What did they do?

So no cunny?

>>41051239
Based, I can finally report the Japs that keep cyberbullying me.

>>41051430
Cunny is dead.

>>41051430
>>41051536
There's Baraag, Nitter, and Nijie

>>41051562
Nitter is literally Twitter you goof.

>>41051562
What's the better site if I want to post cunny. Pawoo or Baraag?

>>41051239
fuck I absolutely hate the spill over of American sjw woke bullshit crap politics trying to ruin Japanese culture. The saddest mistake was when Japanese started using instagram and twitter and allowing the spread and promotion of this cancerous ideology.

Does this mean that you are given a quota of uploading drawings of your waifu with black skin instead

>>41051709
baraag allows uncensored, so baraag

>>41051239
I don't pay attention to pixiv outside of the established login and look at pictures and wank off and logout process. What kind of and how many people even work there? Shouldn't it just be a bunch of mods responding to take down notice tickets and then a bunch of software developers and server managment personnel. Fuck could possibly go wrong there.

>>41051279

>>41051251
>>41051266
Yeah, here's the original accusation if you want, other news in Japanese are pointing to this lawsuit as the cause for it:
https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/e00caada9e0b27c85e2a84cdafad4f905159c191

Also, while saucing I found that the only English source reporting on this is Sankaku Complex, and they posted an article about an hour ahead of >>41051239 :
https://www.sankakucomplex.com/2022/08/30/pixiv-pledges-itself-to-diversity-inclusion/
This Rift guy not only couldn't sauce what took me the better half of five minutes, but also linked an unrelated controversy they previously made an article about.
OP, please find someone who actually bothers to read Japanese to get your pixiv/dlsite/etc. drama from. Or at least link it directly next time.

I didn't even know Sankaku Complex did anything besides be a shitty booru.

>>41051562
Nijie feels too much like an eroge CG sort of site, I guess it's fine for those sort of artists
Baraag is an okay microblogging site but a shitty gallery site
I wish there were more options out there, seems like social gallery sites that allow all sorts of artwork are a dying breed
And good luck finding any site period that don't have deranged management

>>41051239
>I would start saving and bookmarking certain stuff that autistic nips haven't already deleted yet.
It took you this long?

>>41052689
Why do you have to single out Americans like this

>>41051769
>>41052689
It's funny how you guys are so obsessed with America and the west in general that you think Japan is so influenced by it. In reality Pixiv has been meaning to do this for a while.
In western media spheres we're drop fed jap art and memes but a lot of discourse gets left behind because a lot of people simply can't read Japanese. You know when your fav artist just fucking deletes everything and leaves? If it's not people reposting it's usually fallout between them and other users and they pull no punches. Western artists get nasty with their headcanons too but it's the same in Japan. Cyberbullying is becoming a hot button issue there and I bet a lot of this is essentially a big list of "falls under" harassment policy in case users complain.

>>41055027
>I bet a lot of this is essentially a big list of "falls under" harassment policy in case users complain

But it's not even site policy, it's for those working there so another incident like >>41053161 doesn't happen again (theoretically at least, everyone knows workplace policies don't change shit)

>>41052007
I figured as much.
It'd be like an artist telling everyone not to learn how to draw by studying their art. There's no legal framework for such a demand.

ITT: Anons actively misconstrue the situation because it's not actually that interesting or relatable or of a y consequence outside of internal white collar HR

>>41055023
most of it comes from America, although Canada, Australia, and the UK are big on trying to fuck up other beautiful cultures too

>>41056321
China too, the CCP is really prudish and they're nextdoor neighbors to japan

>>41051239
>>41051242
>english
Alright cool
Now lets see the japanese notice

>>41051562
Nijie is deader than pixiv

>>41056216
This. While I'm upset that they hired a tranny in the first place, this is just PR for the sake of their internal workplace scandals. It's no different from when Koei Tecmo had Itagaki molesting female employees left and right, that didn't stop them from making fanservicey, sexy female characters afterwards at all.

>>41057835
Don't be surprised when voices start outnumbering and two years down the line loli is banned, though the sooner those hideous DAZ/VAM 3d models get purged the better.

>>41051239
OP are you mad that they're starting to crack down on toxic assholes such as yourself. Are you mad that you're not going to be allowed to ebully people or spew your toxic shitpost.

Wow google translate has gotten a lot better. I can fully understand the article.

The next step to their downfall, allowing english on the site was the first mistake now there's tons of awful western garbage mixed in with the beautiful. Only a matter of time until loli gets banned then everything else that appeals to straight guys.

>>41051370
Whatever art you post on pixiv now belongs to pixiv per their rules.

>>41055437
>But it's not even site policy, it's for those working there so another incident like >>41053161 doesn't happen again

They'll want more concessions and worsened content moderation will be the next thing they demand.

>>41059001
Deviantart and other social media have the same rules, they use it for advertising iirc?
I wish more people made their own sites again, especially if they dislike a corporation taking actions they dislike. Makes no sense to keep using a platform that they have a problem with.

>>41059001
>>41059024
Man, did you read the article I linked and he quoted?
https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/e00caada9e0b27c85e2a84cdafad4f905159c191
I could translate it manually, but If you throw it into DeepL the only thing it really fucks up is (ironically) the gender pronouns, and that's because in Japanese omitting the subject when context makes it clear is more common than not, unlike Indo-European languages (for the most part).

It's a pretty clear cut case of some upper executive sexually harassing several women over time, them putting up with it for several years, some ladyboy, tranny, or whatever you wanna call them (I'll just agree with you) coming around and getting the same treatment, and was probably given lip service by whatever Human Resources they have and the dude kept up with it because of no consequence. So the ladyboy put up with it until the point they could get clear photographic evidence of being molested by the dude so they had a clear cut case for the inevitable shitstorm that would ensure, and then taking it court, causing an HR fiasco that warranted the response.
This cookie-cutter story has occurred thousands of times over many decades, ever since HR departments were empowered to prevent lawsuits like this, with only the exact characters and dialogue being a bit different.

I'm not even arguing that there isn't a grand scheme to take whatever art content and scene you like away from you, because I can't predict the future.
But I'm not seeing the connection between that boring-ass sexual harassment case beyond it taking place at pixiv. And the dude being based enough to go for ladyboys as well just places it in the 2020s rather than the 2000s or earlier. If I could, I would bet good money this is as much of a nothingburger as that thread about dlsite circle responsibility clarifications a few months ago. If you even remember that.

>>41059433
>I wish more people made their own sites again, especially if they dislike a corporation taking actions they dislike. Makes no sense to keep using a platform that they have a problem with.
I personally create and keep backups and host some for things I feel strongly about, at a personal cost even, for that reason as well.
If there's one thing I have to say about threads like these:

<span class="sjis">IF YOU ARE NOT MAKING SURE, PREEMPTIVELY, THAT WHATEVER YOU PREDICT WILL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM IS EITHER SECURE IN YOUR PERSONAL, PRIVATE POSSESSION, OR WHATEVER SCENE YOU LIKE IS BEING PROVIDED ALTERNATIVES, THE VALIDITY OF YOUR PREDICTION IS OF LITTLE VALUE OR CONSEQUENCE.
NOT BECAUSE IT ISN'T TRUE, BUT BECAUSE IT IS A TRUTH YOU DO NOT VALUE ENOUGH TO ACT UPON.</span>

It's like knowing all the greatest stocks to buy beforehand and not buying them, or at least working on getting the means to do so. Assuming simply making it known is some ensurer of it not coming to be, or someone else fulfilling your desire, is a fool's errand. Because it might actually be that everyone besides you is more the fool and will expect the same.

It takes a while to set up if you have lots of folders but it's absolutely worth it for the amount of time you'll save sorting images.

Can you use this to just download shit from fanbox even if you aren't paying?

>>41064338
Think about this way:
Any exclusive content subscription service that had a known exploit like that for an extended period would result in all the users moving to another service, since it breaks the entire purpose of even having one over freely available content.

I'm just saying that because the answer of "no" shouldn't make you feel like this software or poorly written or does nothing. It just doesn't let you have your cake and eat it too.

>>41064460
>Any exclusive content subscription service that had a known exploit like that for an extended period would result in all the users moving to another service, since it breaks the entire purpose of even having one over freely available content.
You say this but people still post on patreon

>>41064517
Where's the exploit that still works?
Don't use Patreon myself so wouldn't know.

>>41064567
kemono

>>41064583
kemono party?
I see it's an archiver that has a built in extractor for accounts with paid access, but that seems to really on someone else paying for it at some point. You downloading stuff from kemono is not downloading it from the actual site at all, and not much different from sad panda or other dumping sites beyond automation.

So assuming no one has already imported it and will not, and you haven't paid for it, how would you use kemono to get the content?
Because that is what you asked me.

>>41051239

Japanese live in an ultra-safe, sheltered society for the most part, crime is minimal, people are out for the greater good for the most part. they really don't have a clue about the mess that the west is and what is going on in our cultures over here and how things are deteriorating

>>41051239
will this all go away if kim drops nukes on muttoids or is shit too far gone

>>41069252
If the executive who caused the controversy by sexually harassing female employees over the years didn't have a thing for trannies as well, I'm not even sure they would have added in the stuff for diversity and inclusion or given it its own section. I just see it as Human Resources covering their asses because the lawsuit they raised has enough teeth to warrant it and the person who ultimately filed was tranny.
Consider that If the people weren't all Japanese or Asian (not specified but likely the case) there would probably be references to preventing ethnic or racial discrimination as well.

It's like nearly everyone who jumps into thread is only capable of fitting this into some grander cultural and political war, rather than it just being another byproduct of pixiv not being a well-run company.
It's not like anyone on /jp/ has had much good to say about pixiv in terms of being a service or company in over a decade for mostly technical and practical issues in using the service, but the moment even a drop of flamebait comes out of it it's like that's been completely forgotten.

You could also say generic HR teflon, but that doesn't really give you a cause to fight against, does it?
I'm not saying it's good, but do you really think they gave second thought about including those terms beyond thinking it would counter anyone getting pissy at some executive groping ladies and ladyboys?

I'm honestly surprised that even with people seemingly ignoring the lack of practical implications from Pixiv as a result of this guideline clarification, apparently no one has anything to say about the dude who instigated it all in the first place.

Like is he just some based gigachad who is beyond even considering after the company tries to protect itself from photographically recorded sexual harassment?

>>41071386
It has literally nothing to do with America, you can scroll up and see a direct link to an article about why this happened in the first place. But given that this thread is still filled with people posting on a topic that has
NOTHING
to do with Pixiv as a site, I really shouldn't be expecting any kind of intelligent thought.

>>41070295
what did you expect? america is the source of it all

It takes browsing the japanese tags for like two minutes to see that plenty of Japanese artists draw deviantart-tier garbage as well. Also if you use the Japanese tags you pretty much avoid 95% of the western stuff.

Hasn't it been the policy for most sites to not be a dick?

>>41091028
Anons when a site clarifies that they don't want people going out of their way to be a dick

First we see this shit with the english Pixiv article treating Bridget as a female and shoving LGBT agenda:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=3U2eaK8xbWA

Then few days later we see this crap about new "diversity" policies at Pixiv:

>>41051239

Coincidence? I don't link so!

Also the timing with the raiders bots that spammed Pixiv with real life child porn is totally suspicious:

https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1409032917719453707

>>41094619
And we also now have this crap in Germany and Italy: https://animemotivation.com/italy-criminal-law-anime-hentai-comics-child-pornography/
Fucking EU fascists. They defend actual child groomers while they try to demonize anime to pretend that they care about the children.

>>41094619
>>41094712
Is this some kind of fucking bot

>>41101460
Only a bot or people retarded enough to be considered as non-sentient as one would continue to post in this thread without reading it.

Here's a hint to anyone whose thinking of doing so; scroll up, read some links, and see it's just management fuckery that has nothing to do with any functions of the site to any degree.

>>41101935
You're right we should definitely take virtue signalling at face value, it never goes any deeper than that and historically has never done so or continued further to ruin a service or product.

>>41101955
You're right, this is the first time Pixiv HQ has ever gotten in trouble with this kind of crowd. Yep. Never has happened before, because otherwise the consequences would have been felt for the past 8 years and they haven't so it never happened.

Stop posting until you do your research, newfag.

>>41101955
What is Pixiv going to do? Remove tags, a thing they've basically never done before? Even though they get legally pressured on a daily basis they've allowed Uma Musume works to be tagged as R18? And that's just the most recent example out of countless others through the years. When multiple anons say and post multiple points of proof that "it has literally nothing to do with the websites functions" it means it has literally nothing to do with the websites functions.

>>41102954
I am agreeing with you, you're completely right its nothing to fret over :)

You don't see this as a pixiv exec flexing on their position and putting the company in some unnecessary bullshit as a consequence?
Seems like it is that localized to me.

>>41114959
it's a pretext

>>41115026
Everything can be a pretext if you have a prediction, just like everything can be a nail if you have a hammer.
Man I'm not even gunning you down on your exact prediction, but it isn't new or novel that pixiv execs generate these kind of controversies of their own accord without other parties forcing or invoking it. Pops up every so often (see the Niji controversy).
It CAN just be bullshit that doesn't cleanly fit into any sort of conspiracy that gets resolved in some uncertain fashion that indirect parties don't get much insight into. That's actually the norm, and is ignored as such.

why does the west always corrupt everything?

>>41115874
I think it's just Japanese actors in this case, though I guess you can reach to the end of WWII and the general adoption of Western company practices if you want to make that point.

>>41059767
Anything like this for Twitter and Privatter?
