Member"fine, I'll do it myself"

Memberwhat timing
an artist gets harrassed off the internet, and within days there's people doing nsfw style mimicry of them
Mister redintong
MemberI wonder if more people will join in making these.
SmolReapy
MemberI hope there will be more, i certainly love these!
UninspiredJigglypuff
MemberSeems a bit insensitive since if I recall some of what people were harassing them over was old nsfw art they weren't proud of
I didn't read into the situation enough though so I'm not sure if that was just bullshit or not

Memberdunno why you was downvoted, most artists do porn and not one of them deserves to be bashed for keeping it private. Wouldn't call it insensitive bc i don't think this qualifies as bashing someone, but it's an otherwise valid concern. I didn't read into it per se but when only detail that bashers mention is ANIMAL GENITALIA (always in all caps) i suppose it was very mild. It's sad to see one wrong thing (that we know off) validating every other bullshit gripe anyone had with pansear, especialy "dismissing a grooming victim" in banishing of 0303emily. Otherwise it's a very pleasant development for me, i had a long disdain for a suffocatingly wholesome appearance that pansear put on (tho they had some nice work when they differed from it) and cutesy-variety puriteens that surrounded them; it was nice to see shipping container implode and even nicer seeing pansear go.
And when the cutters of the pie throw their summers in the sky
No love lost baby, the future is so bright~

MemberThey were bashed because half their audience was kids who think drawing any kind of penis is awful, and drawing any kind of non-human penis is zoophilia. The zoophilia claims were what would fall under tentacle cock on this website, the simply tapered design that many people use (including myself) when we don't bother to/can't draw a complex penis more similar to in real life. As someone who knows many artists, even the most wholesome of soccer-moms has made a penis or boobs in whatever medium they are familiar with. I've seen a fat dick made out of macaroni and glue made by a 60 year old woman. She said it was hot. Its universal.
The grooming stuff from the people I've talked to, because I can't contain my curiosity and dug way too deeply into this, was very very hard to find the details of. The truth was so hard to find because so many involved twisted it to either strengthen their accusations or defend themselves. An adult artist who I was told was very very autistic sent "cringe" nsfw to a 17 year old artist who was their friend with the intent to mock it, and at another point the younger artist asked the adult artist about nsfw comms and pricing them. It seems rather ruthless and unforgiving given the context, especially considering the nature of the artist's and their mindsets. I think someone had it out for them, and used these things to spearhead an online effort, which leads me to my next discovery.
From what I've heard, the screenshots of the "encouraging people to do self harm" were fabricated, but nobody cared because they were just looking for an excuse to go for the throat. A very hostile fandom from what I can glean. I can understand why art of it is slowly dwindling if anyone who makes a step out of line is attacked as such.

MemberTripleLayer described perfectly what happened oqsihfoishd
this fandom is genuinely evil it's like people in it just want drama to happen and find famous people to put targets on them to obtain it
honestly I thought of reuploading my survmonk comic and finishing it just to spite the fandom at some point
CranCat
MemberHonestly, this happens a lot with media in general. It sucks, but often times the best thing you can do for yourself is not interacting with the fandom at large.
A Cursed Individual
MemberI'd like to formally recind any ideas I had when I wrote that comment (especually that NSFW images part),
as I have now found out what has happened in regards to Pansear and why the comment I responded to was talking about dissing Pansear (and rightfully so as I now know)
I formally apologize for any foul misdeeds I may have unintentionally commited ππ
CranCat
MemberDo you have a link to the full context here? Was there any legitimacy behind these accusations?
A Cursed Individual
MemberI don't have context links sadly, I just found out about it just about now and a little googling brought up various instances of Pansear's misdeeds.
I can't confirm legitimacy myself, but what has been done, how the community aligns and the fact that Pansear has basically deleted all of their social medias, I'm inclined to believe it's all true (to some extent)
Leo-The-Protogen
Memberyou should finish it tbh
ZuskyAgain
MemberYou donβt gotta do pansear dirty like thisβ¦
A Cursed Individual
MemberPulling this mainly from my ass, but from what I've seen the NSFW part of the community seems much more chill π
Erinthebat
Memberaside from people not knowing sex boundaries and children doing their best to invade these places yeah the nsfw side is somehow way more chill overall
Erinthebat
Memberif I get 10 likes on this comment I'll finish it
Erinthebat
Memberif you're talking about the self-harm stuff the screens are completely fake, the comment section is hell for talking I can try to explain why I think so on discord instead (@erinthebat)
pansear fucked up quite multiple times but this was just some made out accusation to make her loose her place in the fandom (at least I really think so I don't have hard proof tho)
UninspiredJigglypuff
MemberI had never even heard of encouraging self harm accusations amid the whole ordeal but honestly that's a believable conclusion, it feels like the sfw community has a disgustingly puritan anti-nsfw mood and the bits about downplaying the grooming victim were being brought up after they'd already been addressed anyways so it frankly does look a lot like needless hostility.
CranCat
MemberAlright. I have done some delving and found this document that was compiled of certain screenshots.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/10X_fNZS_vpmAzD6h24emCURTLK89-Ev_5fhj_5zQz3g/mobilebasic
Please take this with a grain of salt and keep things civil, as some of these claims are quite vicious and a bit extreme.
From my perspective as an outsider, this looks like more of a massive misunderstanding and potentially accidental appropriate actions rather than malicious intent, but I cannot be entirely sure as I did not witness any of this.
Erinthebat
Memberguys it's been not even a day y'all are insane
working on it rn
Mister redintong
MemberHELL YEAH
TripleLayer
MemberI'm not sure who's even still here reading this but the screenshots of self harm were proven to be fabricated by a malicious third party who just wanted to cause chaos, and idiots online took them without blinking and started spreading them everywhere. Now the community seems to have gone back against the original people who spread it, but they are of course claiming innocence and asking for forgiveness even though no such kindness was offered to their victims. The tumblr rainworld community then proceeded to have a number of artists decide "I ain't dealing with this" and left the community after talking about how toxic and angry people on it could get for no reason. Many of the people who spread the original screenshots basically said "yeah they were fake but pansear was annoying so I'm still glad they're gone". Regardless of your opinion pansear was a great creative conduit in the fandom and attracted a number of people to it. Now with them gone, and the community stained with their proverbial public execution, I think the reverse is more likely. Many artists who were on the edge are leaving, and many new ones will look at this fandom, which already loves to attack anyone who makes NSFW of any kind, and think "No thanks."
Yippie.

MemberYou're welcome for helping uncover that the allegations were BS.
Just wish I could have helped sooner.
