Topic: A lukewarm defense of the quality standards

There is no unfair advantage over lesser-known concepts. No one is suppressing them.

Of course they are being suppressed by such a rule. If Loonas get approved no matter the quality, you will see nothing else on the site. Other concepts/characters/species will then have no realistic chance to ever get more popular. Maybe there are many people out there who would love the (yet) unknown concept. But they will never realize that because they will never see anything else but Loona rawgen.

The rule you are suggesting would be like:
New Law: Every millionaire gets 1000 € for nothing from the government. You’re not a millionaire yet? Too bad, you get nothing!
That’s not unfair, no of course not!

I don’t expect thousands of likes or followers or whatever for my work. I only gen what I like personally, so it’s not a real loss if people ignore it. But I expect one thing: That we all are being treated equally here and that the same rules apply to everyone. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.

Well, then I have bad news for you—because everything on this website is made with AI. That already removes any sense of effort for most viewers.

Yeah, true. There are many people who hate AI art and these people of course also refuse to believe that AI (assisted) art can be art at all and that real humans put real effort into it.
But just because it is like that now it doesn’t mean it will stay like that. The use of AI tools will become more and more common.
In 5 years every image editor will have AI features.
Then the “real artist” will have to say: “Hey, support me I guarantee I made this 100% without AI! Please appreciate it!”

Yeah. Yeah, I’d say it’s for goon slop.

You are making it too easy. Not every explicit post is goon slop.
Because yes, even pornography can be art.
