i’m pretty sure esix only cares if the artist is currently a minor/adult. the artist is an adult now, so it’s allowed

I don't know about you, but I'm not interested in porn that a 15-year-old drew, regardless of how old he is now.

then blacklist this post or the artist. i’m just going by esix’s rules

If a 15 year old drew this I'm impressed and I would wanna see more and listen this is good art so shut up?

I never mentioned the quality of the art, and the quality is irrelevant. A highschool freshman drew this porn. People deserve to know that.

The fact that they are an adult now doesn't change the fact that they weren't an adult when this pic was drawn. This is a drawing of sex as seen through the eyes of a child. The artist's self-insert character here is the self-insert of a child.

I think people should know that fact before they jerk off to this piece.

Actually, for legal reasons we do have to delete any content created by a minor, even if they’re an adult now. That said, we won’t take any actions without proof.

Ok, do you have any proof?

How the hell is this not tagged young? I mean he's at least as young as a teenager (TWYS) considering they're both the same species. :/
*checks tagging history*

Here's the Twitter thread with screenshots.

Two years ago he said he was 25 on his bio, was actually born in 2004 and was 16 at the time this art was made.

Let me guess - screen shots and not original posts isn't good enough since anyone can edit them. Sigh...

If that's how he wants to express himself why should he not be allowed to share it who cares and let's be honest most teens know what sex is by 14

Whether or not teens know what sex is isn't what this is about.

It's against the law to supply porn to a minor, and it's against the terms of service of virtually every website for minors to be in 18+ spaces. It's creates legal risk for everyone involved, especially when the teen is drawing their own sona in sexual situations.

Also, the person with cub pfp trying to argue on the side of allowing minors to create and share porn is really telling.

It's been a few months, and it's still here.

Is there a better way to report an issue like this?

Sorry, I don't check my comment replies very often. I handled it, but normally you would just report the post for the best results. "Report" button on the left side of the page.

I would have, but none of the report categories apply to this situation, and the report page says I will be disciplined if I abuse the system. Picking a random category to force a moderator to look at my complaint seems like abuse of the system to me.

Which of these should I have picked?
- Rating Abuse
- Malicious File
- Malicious Source
- Description Abuse
- Note Abuse
- Tagging Abuse

The “technically correct” answer to your question is actually to flag the post with the “does not meet uploading guidelines” reason. However, that particular flag reason is only available on approved posts to privileged accounts due to it being abused by regular users too often. So, there’s not really any good option at the moment so I’d really just say “pick anything,” either a flag or a report. That puts it into “the system” where someone then has to handle it one way or another, even if the reason is technically incorrect. As long as there’s a valid reason for deleting the post, it doesn’t count as “abuse of the system” - we reserve that for people flagging/reporting stuff for completely invalid reasons, like because the post contains some fetish that they don’t want to see.

Not that I expected you to know any of that. In reality, we (the staff team, internally) have recently been discussing the possibility of adding an “underage artist” or similar flag reason specifically for cases like this. It just doesn’t come up very often, so there hasn’t been much demand for it. Most people just make a report with a random reason when it does need to be handled. So for now, just pick any option and hopefully we’ll have a proper way to deal with these in the future.
