Uncensoring and Photoshoping on Danbooru: A CRIME!

Posted under General

This topic has been locked.

By Japanese law, all pornography (real or drawn) must have some sort of censoring over the genitals. So, all Japanese hentai and porno have a censoring, being pixels, bars, or something else. Following this, true uncensored hentai (made by the original artist) is never published. Which mean that almost every "uncensored" art was uncensored by another artists using art and photo-edit softwares. As I write this, there's over 5000 posts with the "uncensored" tag. By Danbooru standard, editing somebody's work if forbidden.

Just a question for the Danbooru elitists:
If "uncensoring" a work of art is such an unforgivable crime, why most of theses posts are not deleted yet?

I know the answer. Nobody claimed they have done some editing. So, if we just post and get silent, we can get away with anything. After all, either Danbooru love it's pixels and black bars too much, or Danbooru have some of the weirdest double-standards.

Try responding to that with some logical explanation. And if you delete this commentary, it will speak volumes about Danbooru's disturbing policy.

"It doesn't matter" someone said.

It matter because when you uncensor a picture, you do a lot of work WITHOUT BEING PAID. You try to make your best, you share your creation with everybody. Then, some dicks with all-highly morals trow you in the mud and spit on you... just because you dared have said: "I did it".

All that when over 5000 posts that are like yours or "worst" than yours remain untouched.

You call that fair? Yes, it matter. Injustice matter. Double-standardizing matter.

Luckily, Gelbooru doesn't care about "moral principles", and they don't go deleting pictures just for the hell of it. Their auto-grab of Danbooru's stuff is questionable, but a lot of stuff is saved from the elitists that way.

"Look, Danbooru prefers the original images." another said.

So, why all the pictures with the "uncensored" and "photoshop" tags are still up?

It was moved from post #445516. Could you go ahead and clear the comments there?

Oh, make sense. But "clear comments?" I don't think so Tim.

Truth be told, these comments have (almost) nothing to do with the picture itself, so, alright.

BUT I STILL WANT SOME ANSWERS.

No, your post was funny enough by itself. Seriously, you need to read up on how to present an argument in a manner that isn't immediately off-putting and polarizing.

Or do us a favor and go back to gelbooru.

ONOZ!! OMG!!

Its's not about uncensoring. Is about nude_filter.
There is a difference.

I know the answer.

If you do, then don't ask.

Nobody claimed they have done some editing. So, if we just post and get silent, we can get away with anything.

Sooner or later someone will find the parent, and then the pic is going to be deleted.

Try responding to that with some logical explanation.

Try to read the threads relevant to this matter you can start with forum #16472.

And if you delete this commentary, it will speak volumes about Danbooru's disturbing policy.

Then DON'T do it.

Old excuse is old.

Life is not fair.

Stay in Gelbooru then.

Hilarious rant is only hilarious once.

What are you, some kind of mad hyena? Laugh all you want, but my statement is still relevant. If you hate edits so much, why are you allowing so many of them?

If it's not some kind of twisted double-standards, then what it is?

I know about these lame-ass nude filters. It IS about uncensoring.

Oh I forgot, by looking up my profile, you guys deleted 13 out of my 16 posts. Here are the one you missed:

http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/294199/2girls-anus-ass-bent_over-blue_eyes-blue_hair-blus
That one is favorited by 36 people. Surely, they are all wrong. DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!

http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/286070/ass-bent_over-brown_eyes-brown_hair-final_fantasy-
This one was not one of my best work. So, I did not said I was the one to uncensor it. DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!

Not relevant to the subject at hand, but I post this one as a friendly gesture to show a picture's source. "Score -6". How can I'm not surprised?

Kanrabat said: If you hate edits so much, why are you allowing so many of them?

Because I do not and can not unilaterally set danbooru policy with a mere wave of my magic wand.

I very strongly support the idea of banning all third party uncensoring and the vast majority of third party image manipulation in general. But that's just one opinion, even if it's an admin's opinion. Albert is the owner of the site and the one with the final say.

Using the same argument a dozen times in an hour is impressive, I must say. This thread should probably be closed because it won't go anywhere but someone will insist on keeping it going I'm sure.

Kanrabat said:If it's not some kind of twisted double-standards, then what it is?

The mods delete things when it's brought to their attention that something needs to be deleted. They already have enough work with the mod queue; they don't need the extra task of hunting down every bad post anyone has ever made.

So, is this policy some kind of twisted double standard? No, it's just practical.
