Previous discussion: topic #16559
I can't say I'm a fan of allowing these. Avatar generators like Picrew make it way too easy to generate a flood of low-effort content.
Since the picrew tag was added after the fact, it looks like another case of an uploader mistaking Picrew avatars for original art.
It doesn't seem like most people want these here, although oddly, I flagged post #3762710 and post #3761339 simultaneously and only one was deleted.
Avatar generators are probably some of the lowest fruits to upload low-quality content to the site. The thing of being able to generate a pretty character image by mix and matching pre-defined parts doesn't make it original art at all, specially considering the art isn't even theirs. It doesn't help the fact that Picrew is starting to get (or is already) invaded and swarmed by artists/art that would easily be turned down and unapproved in this site due to low quality and/or low effort, making even the acceptable artists drown in their sea of mediocrity.
Given all that, I hope there's a firm fist against this kind of things being uploaded to Danbooru. Hope I didn't sound (too) rude.
