"Disinterest" should not be a valid reason for disapproval at all on this website, especially for something thats clearly part of a long running series that are all already here.
Imagine if the Mona Lisa were to be disapproved from being displayed in a museum just because the curators were "disinterested" in it

    It's been a rather common problem with this particular comic. I contribute to a few changes here and there for images, but I doubt I'll ever get that kind of status to approve these myself.

    I've noticed that this comic gets flagged on nearly every upload now, but the moderation history doesn't show the user except to probably moderators and up I guess.

    "Disinterest" is just the boilerplate message for when an Approver skips over a post. Approvers do not have unlimited time to carefully determine the worth of each and every post, especially when they're not even being paid for it. This does mean some works worthy of this site won't be approved the first time, but the appeal system, Contributors, and the fact posts only need one person to approve them help balance that. Not to mention that posts can be approved even if they're no longer in the mod queue.

    Unapproving posts by default until an Approver accepts them is an effective system despite its flaws. The alternative would be to automatically approve every post without a reason given by the Approvers (or "Disapprovers" in this Bizarro universe), but that would run counter to the site's mission as a curated gallery for anime art.

    They're not getting flagged. It's just the default wording the deletion message uses. If it says "(unapproved in three days)" then it was just automatic deletion after not getting approved. An actual flag by a user would give a different reason.

    I mean it's not like the curators are obligated to display the Mona Lisa at all, let alone spend time to look really closely at everything donated to the museum.

    What is she going to do herself? Kill herself? She doesn't need to go anywhere further than that shotgun.

    Look at it like this, if she wanted to kill herself she would have done it. Only Elster can do it, but she keeps failing at getting over to her so Ariane is going to drag Elster to her chamber pod herself.

    When I saw this for the first time, I thought Khyle was just being himself; I was partially right, but it seems like Your mother hung herself is a meme, and yes, it implies Carnage, thus the profile picture of the troll in this comic. The context is a little long, but you can read it here if you're interested.

    i let the site automatically name the artist based in the pixiv url, no idea if this is the proper naming convention or not, the katakana reads dogē

    We try to use the artist's actual name or handle whenever possible. The stacc name or username from another account will typically be included as a qualifier to keep it from being ambiguous. The artist tag for this post was just changed, so you can refer to it as an example.

    You can read more about how to create new Pixiv artist tags in howto:pixiv.
