E621 and Audio in animations
3 years ago
Much of what I do for the fandom beyond the content I commission is my audio work.
you might have heard my sound design work I've done for

Part of my showcase for my sound work is to reference e621, because there isn't a system set up for videos here. My name was removed from the tags on e621, which means my contributions to these projects are now hard to find.
Their argument is that E621 is committed to remaining as a visual medium, and that sound designers should be placed in the description instead.
I don't pretend to have the same level of talent as the artist whom I work for. But much of my visibility as a sound designer for NSFW works is dependent on sites like e621 to quickly reference what I do.
It's ultimately a nuance in tagging and identification, but it implies that people who provide audio and voice acting to animations to bring an extra level of quality should not be acknowledged for their work. I believe they are as much artists contributing to the piece as the animators themselves. and you'd be hard pressed to find an animator that disagrees.
I'm not even sure what to do here. I know a dozen sound designers who do work for NSFW who cannot be credited for their work in a way that's as accessible as the rest of the site. I cannot even refer to all my sound works here easily. People who follow me on FA don't even know I have a Youtube for some of my content.

What do you think?
I usually post on FA anyways tho and just add a fleshy link to the MP4 version on top of the description if there's sound in it. As for the YT channel i didnt know that either. Why not add it to your links under the user profile section? thats usually the most obvious for users
In this case though, I think it's more a matter of pride and decency than practicality. People will check the description if they really like the audio. I know I do. Killing your tag makes you unsearchable, which does suck. Whenever I can't find something properly on e6, the artist's FA is my next stop, so it might be useful to have some kind of index here of everything you've provided audio for, linking back to e6. If you can't use them for discoverability, you can at least use them for free hosting.
as for what do i think you should do? keep kicking up a stink about it. only way to get things done in life is to complain till your blue in the face. XD
