- the8472 9y agodA is mentioned as comparison to pixiv. Pixiv is not "about pornography", but it allows 18+ content and so does dA. Edit: I totally misread "photography" as "pornography" here. To address the actual question: There are photography and crafts sections on dA and you will find far less of that on pixiv. But I would not describe the whole site "being about" that.
- Laforet 9y agoI'm perplexed as to how the author managed to find the Pixiv sign-up page offensive - if he hadn't mentioned it I would never have made the connection myself.
- the8472 9y agoHere's the uncropped image. I don't think it qualifies as lolicon, it certainly is not tagged as such. https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=43409888 https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_i...
- Laforet 9y agoThanks, as I though it is quite tame by any standard. Perhaps when one goes out to find ghosts then one will see ghosts everywhere.
- btym 9y agoI wonder if the author requested permission from the artist to use that image in his article. I certainly wouldn't want my (SFW|harmless|tasteful) art used in such a context.
- SCdF 9y agoMaybe I wasn't clear, I was referring to this quote: > it [Pixiv] might be analogous to DeviantArt in the US, but focused on drawings, not photography. Which to me implies the author things DeviantArt is focused on photography. I haven't checked out DA in years, but last time I checked it had nothing to do with photography, at least not the artists I looked at.
- zanny 9y agoA lot of people upload artistic photos to DA. The front page right now has a few. It isn't what it is about, but it has some.
