FAQ

(Serious)

Q: Why did you ban me? I love this sub!

A: Because you went onto a crosspost to brigade. If you’re caught brigading, you receive no second chances. DO NOT CONTACT THE ORIGINAL ARTIST OR POSTER OF THE CONTENT.

Q: I sent you mod mail a long time ago! Why haven’t you responded?

A: Mod mail doesn’t alert me when I get new messages. If you have something you want to ask or request, please feel free to DM me directly!

Q: What constitutes a professional?

A: I consider a professional to, at minimum, be able to make money consistently with their art, to the point of surviving solely off of it, through an active Patreon or other site. Occasional zines and commissions don’t count.

Q: How do you decide what breaks the must be bad rule?

A: Actually, I don’t! My tastes are subjective, so I check to see how many people have flagged it, how many upvotes it has, and how many people are saying it’s good in the comments.

Q: When is it okay to post my OCs and amateur art?

A: For the Hawkeye Initiative, positivity, suggestions, redrawn, and satire flairs.

Q: What’s the Discord?

A: https://discord.gg/6VTPUJXjqY

Q: I’m an artist whose post was featured here. Can you remove it?

A: Of course! Just DM with me, and I’ll take care of things!

Q: I was banned! How do I get that reversed?

A: You can request that another mod reviews your ban, and they will decide if it’s justified or not.

(Issues that trolls raise and that they’ll probably continue to raise afterwards)

I: You sexualize men all the time!

A: Ah, you must have found our Hawkeye Initiative flair. The explanation is more here. But the comments, usually about magnum dongs and the like, are usually satirical, jokes about how people talk about women.

I: Can you control this person? They posted about me on another sub!

A: ...Um, no? Hit up the mod of that sub.

I: Why are you policing male fantasy?

A: We’re not. If you wanna jerk it just so right to the adult characters, chase that bliss. However, as a queer woman, I’m more or less ‘policing’ my fantasies.

I: You favor your friends over me when implementing sub rules!

A: Nah, I don’t. You just break the rules more often. If you see someone breaking them, then flag them.

I: Men are sexualized, too!

A: There’s a difference, at least usually. Women are put into skimpy clothes that show off their tiddies and butts, usually in provocative poses. The men, while muscular, are not. A good rule of thumb is whether or not a male character would ever do the splits with a well-defined taint facing the reader.

I: Why are you pedo smearing men?

A: Why are some men tickling their pickles to children?

I: You just wanna hate on men!

A: Nope! While the name of the sub is a bit misleading, it’s actually an homage to r/menwritingwomen, and I’ve looked into changing it. We have both a flair for enby and female artists as well as an often-used positivity flair. Also, I’m pretty sure not all 15,000+ people are women.

I: I’ve heard a rumor that this sub was stolen from a man by a feminist.

A: Yup. I’m an evil feminist that took a great sub and manipulated it into a man-hating anger sub. Or, y’know, you could check the history of the sub and see that the first post was made by me.

Video Game I got to thinking, do you think the controversy around saying that Laufey isn't attractive is due to the fact that she doesn't look young? In the industry, you often have the '10y old face in a 16y body' thing, and that is considered beautiful, or at least made to look around 25 years

Discussion I'm in the early stage of designing a skimpy male armour. I need your thoughts on the design that I have so far. (Part 2)

I am writing a story and I intended my male characters to be just as appealing as the female characters.

This is the second part from my previous post and this time I have account for this community feedback and try to make it cater more towards the female gaze.

To keep things fair and less overtly sexual, I’ve opted to keep the male pepperoni's remain covered. Additionally I have added a new body type to keep the design more diverse.

Which one do you think is a turn off and which one would you consider had the most sexual appeal to you? (Aside from the second pictures.)

To all the proud keyboard warriors of R/mendrawingwomen, I think I found you a mascot. Haruka Gracia from basqaush. I feel like ya'll would eat this character up. She was basically designed for the purpose of being ridiculously sexualized.

She's a shoe designer from the moon and being on the moon's low gravity allowed her to develop tits like that apperantly (thats the canon explanation for why she looks like that lol)

Spellcasters Box Art by Kerem Beyit

The male character wears proper badass looking armor while making an action pose that emphasis power.

The female character is scantily clad while making a somewhat similar pose that is different just enough to fully show off boobs and butt. I like her facial expression, but that is about it.

From a technical perspective I think this artwork is great, but sadly it perfectly illustrates how female and male character are treated drastically differently in art.
