Question about porn/adding favorites.
14 years ago
Are there any of you out there that will forgo favoriting an awesome g-rated or tame image because the user that uploaded the work has a gallery full of mostly porn? I'm sure my sample here is going to be biased because a lot of you are here for the dongs, but I am curious because I want to know how I should proceed with uploading art in the future (since I have a separate account that is supposed to be squeaky clean).
Thanks!
Edit: To clear things up, I am not insinuating that any of you just favorite porn for porn's sake :). I just wanted to know if there are people that would rather not favorite the work of an artist that uploads more porn than anything else X)

On the other hand, there are also enough artist, who divide their accounts because of that purpose. in the End, it is your decision, but nothing really necessary.
But no, if a piece of work is well done and strikes my fancy, i'll favorite it (unless I have a beef with the artist, then I wont favorite it).
I say upload what you wish, it's your art, and it will be appreciated by people, whether it be the majority or not.
I have been unwatching a lot of people whose quality has dropped below even my low bar though. :C
I do think sometimes that there would be an easier time faving things if we had two labels, one for "I like the artistry/creativity/etc. of this" and the other for "This gets my rocks off," though. And, of course, that they were overlappable.
That being said, I also tend to have my mature content filter ON, so I can skip the pronz xP
The only reason I *wouldn't* fave a piece I really like is if the artist has shown themselves to be someone I would never associate with, and therefore it wouldn't feel right to potentially send other people their way by showcasing/endorsing their work.
i don't care if the artist draws porn or not
however, i typically do not +fav porn
I favorite for the porn, and porn only. I come to FA for the porn. Not the community, not the "awesome art", and not for the escape from reality; I'm here for jack-off fodder.
Occasionally, a clean pic will interest me enough to +Fav it... but within a few months' time, I'll generally come along and -Fav it. I'm here for the porn.
In complete contrast to Samoya, I generally won't +Watch artists whose galleries are mostly clean art.
Is the Furry community all about sex and pornography? No. Is there a disproportionate constituency interested in porn in the Fandom? I would say yes. While the percentage may be small, it seems relatively large. Lately, I am finding more and more that FA is nothing more than a porn repository and social media photo dump. SoFurry and InkBunny seem to be even more porn-centric, but I don't care for their layouts.
.....HUH? That statement makes the kind of sense that...well...doesn't.
Also, it's funny that you say you're finding FA is "nothing but a porn repository" when you acknowledged that you're going out of your way to seek porn and only porn. That's a little like saying Walmart is only a candy factory because those are the only isles you visit.
There is some REALLY amazing clean art out there-stuff that would absolutely blow you away. I would highly encourage you to take time after your jerkoff to a) get a gf/bf so you don't need to whack it so often (though I'm mostly kidding, to each their own) and b) take time when your lust has cooled to visit some of the galleries here, on DA, or any art site that catches your fancy and allow yourself to develop an appreciation for the art culture outside of pornography. It's scientifically proven to help regulate emotions, spark creativity, alleviate stress, and, as a bonus perk, make you seem way more cultured to peers and potential mates!
It's a mark of immaturity when you try to paint yourself as a victim without ever having been attacked, friend. Learn to take humor in stride and find wisdom in the advice of others, rather than wrapping yourself in a cloak of self-martyrdom.
That being said chica, why on earth do you care? You're one of the most watched people on here, and faves don't matter anyway except as clutter to global delete when they start piling up. Ego boost aside, you should never use or even allow others to construe your art as an effort to gain popularity or acceptance-just draw your shit and love what you do, and let the drooling fanboys worry about the details. You're above fave-counting. xD
Porn has to be pretty exceptional/to my tastes if I'm going to favourite it, and then I'd say it's mostly as a kind of "HELL YEAH I ENCOURAGE THIS" for the artist.
Unrelated: You have a clean account?? I'm not sure I'm watching you there!
For example, plushes that
So, in short, I'm an equal opportunity favoriter.
I HAVE hesitated to watch certain people, however, if their gallery is entirely porn (especially stuff that I might find... odd.) Weirdly I've never unwatched someone for the same reason though, so I still get lotsa red borders in my submissions.
What is your clean account btw?
I think it's so beautiful.
To your direct question, Yes I'd still favorite it. I'm faving the image, not the gallery.
This is a moot point anyway, cuz if someone really hated porn THAT much, then they should just use the PORN FILTER!!
As far as Favorites goes, I only Favorite clean art (though I try to download porn when I remember). It's just the way I like to do things. Whether or not you have porn in your gallery, I will still Favorite clean art if I like it, even if it's the only clean piece :P.
But now I've gotta find your other account!
That being said I also favourite anything that's personal to me or close friends as well. :P
However, I HAVE avoided faving a picture because of the artist themselves.
I'll have to go review my favorites tab to see what a naughty boy I am, percentage-wise.
I am usually on late at night, after work. I can't be on all the time, due to work and tiredness and I am usually looking for a good reason to get my rocks off. I know, It's horrible. On these nights, I don't tend to look at any picture in my submissions without a red border, and typically plan to look back through later. I am watching so many wonderful artists, that sometimes my submission queue has several hundred, or thousand, submissions, and I never get through them.
When I see a particularly nice piece, tame or not, I tend to favorite it, but that is typically on the days where I have my time and am not tired. Those days I tend to look through more, though I don't honestly favorite nearly as many pictures as I enjoy.
You should totally post arts along with the dongs, the name recognition might help, because odds are more people are gonna be watching this name rather than your clean account. They may stumble across a piece while lookin for their fap material and really enjoy it---that's usually how it happens with me.
Post what you whatever you want, yo.
it has, however, prevented me from watching artists, but that is purely due to a lack of interest in the fetishes that they enjoy drawing and has very little to do with actual porn.
I'd like to think we're free enough of mind to take in a whole person, and not just the facade that we want to see.
I don't particularly care whay people think about me around here.
Do not understand why that would matter? Generally I expect that most viewers view faving an artwork as a way of praising the artwork and the effect it had on them regardless of who created it. A way of indicating “I Like This Artwork!” not ‘I Like You [artist].‘ So you are judging a g-rated artwork on its own merits and not judging it according to the “neighborhood” it 'lives' in.
Quite frankly, I do look at more porn than clean art anyday.
but if a clean picture is REALLY good, I will favourite it.
Or... really adorable. >D I'm a sucker for cute things.
One, clean art is nicer in my opinion. Im not on FA for the dicks, though I love them. I find that an artist that draws porn tends to put more effort into thier clean work.
Two, I dont want people to know what I whack off to. That happens to my dong is my business.
Plus, you can just play it off like you don't know and say your mature filter is on.
In other words, yes I would still favorite clean work from a pr0n artist
Bottom line: Nah, porn all around it doesn't stop me from favoriting a G-rated image.
But it looks like people just fav what they like, and others just use their rating filter. So win-win!
I think just the fact that over a hundred people took the time to comment and reassure you on this journal, says a lot about your work. People love it regardless of what rating it has!
