The Disturbing Side of Drawing NSFW Art ft.

[@relativedepression4604]

Having an 18+ discord server as a content creator with a sizable following seems to bring more headaches than what it's worth ngl

[@Kori-ko]

From the admin and moderation side of a YT channel with 175K, yes it absolutely is a headache and we ended up banning NSFW content before 100K (except for explicit art or discussion exceptions since it is a news channel).

[@mercy5004]

I can say that it depends on the creator and their community. I've tended to see some of the really crazy stuff hit more of the video/animation side, with basic Illustrators, Comic creators, and writers seeming to have an easier time finding a more chill group. Of course, if your audience trends on the younger side of 18+ (early 20's and below, and yes even the secret teens who say they're 18 to get in and then lurk) I've also seen those discords get both really annoying AND toxic fast. Meanwhile creators I follow or work with who trend for an older audience (at least mid twenties) seem to have more of a calm (if quiet at times) group. One Discord I was a part of literally fractured because of a friction between these two age demographics, and it was ran by several fan fiction writers who each had their own individual followings and audience trends. Eventually the creator with the majority "old" followers split off to create their own discord and while I'm still a part of both... it definitely is a much different vibe between them. Though, on that note, since its been several years since the break, and a lot of the followers haven't changed from what I've seen, the "younger" channels have calmed down massively even if they are still very meme-y. But you absolutely have to have moderation in an 18+ discord. There's no way around it.

[@TheRealSharkface]

As Lord Shaxx once said, "Who cares?!" If someone wants to start and kind of server, then it is up to them and them alone, they weighed the pros and cons, it not about consequences or headaches, it's about fun. They draw for FUN, they speak to their community for FUN, if the side effect of having a large community means you can't have fucking fun then that makes you a great audition to the Twitch mod staff, right next to the weird deer girl and that fat pedo dude in his 30's.

TBH i hate people who complain NSFW artists drawing suggestive stuff, like, come on! for some reason theyre NSFW! do you were expecting family friendly stuff?!

[@mercy5004]

Honestly I've learned that there are people who legitimately hate the idea of sexual content period. So its not so much that they complain about drawing suggestive stuff... they don't want that artist to BE a NSFW artist in the first place. And to make the point even more strange, someone I personally know like this isn't even religious OR conservative. She just hates pornography of any kind, point-blank-period.

[@MBZ901]

Honestly, there's not even anything wrong with disliking it as long as they...idk...stay away from people who make that content. No need to go looking for trouble. Algorithms recommending suggestive stuff to people who don't want to see it _is_ an issue though, but it's not the creator's fault.

definitely sucks both ways people find out im a guy during my live streams and it either empties my chat or turns into me being some morally bankrupt monster in the eyes of the people. ill admit i havent gotten a lot of unwanted pics since I try and make it clear im a guy but the number isnt 0 and i cant keep an account up long enough on other sites for me to not feel like half the year is spent rebuilding a following and the other half is trying to keep my account running long enough to make some progress. i always thought id be told my art sucks if i tried posting online along with getting no views for a while. I was prepared for that. I wasn't prepared for getting attacked personally just because my art exists and people have this wierd idea its okay to judge someone based on the art they like. ive complemented makeup artists on there work and been told my art is disgusting and they never consented to clicking on my page and viewing my art. honestly i wouldn't be surprised if woman did have it harder pairing what experience with how being a woman and drawing nsfw automatically goes against these critics very perception that women could not enjoy this kind of art just as much as the average guy whos drawing for the same reason, fun or money. ive had to sit through some old mans lecture about god and not going to hell for sin because i thought itd be fun to sketch a succubus. at work instead of an angel whos more respectable

[@Scruffy-qi3ik]

i think it's because it screws with people's (kind of sexist) pretenses that women can't or don't do stuff like that because "something something women pure or don't like that stuff". so it boggles them for some dumb reason.

I started drawing NSFW stuff because everything else I drew didn't get any attention. Even though I wanted to draw animate comedy based stuff and not NSFW content, I still don't mine it at all. Also I still want to make cartoons that are funny.

[@mercy5004]

You can always do both! While my NSFW does get vastly more attention, I've found that pairing them with the SFW stuff I (also) want to do for those same characters gets the SFW stuff more interest. Like one draws the eyes, but in time the other gets them more invested in those characters. So much so that someone even noticed that a particular character had a new necklace, asked questions, and I got to be a dork about their development. Though animations take a lot of time, so I understand why you might not want to juggle them if you're doing both.

As a fellow asexual NSFW artist & content creator, people who call us hypocrites are completely uneducated on asexuality. It's not a binary sexuality where you DO or DON'T like sexy stuff- it's a wide, complex, and fluid spectrum. There are many asexuals who DO engage with and/or create sexual content, and finding an asexual NSFW artist is way more common than you'd think. I encourage anyone who thinks of asexuality in this way to seek out the many asexual microlabels and how they're defined to learn more about the community and the people who identify within it! ❤I could teach a class if I could lol

Seems to be more suggestive than anything. KZbin doesn't allow explicit content...but suggestive content is fine. Or hell, mildly explicit content (see: Harry Partridge, youtube animator) is allowed. There is often age restrictions that can be placed on videos as well by the creator or moderation teams, that for instance require your account to have your age be listed as 17-18 to view the video. Its just that out-and-out pornography and so forth is not allowed. This is why you are supposed to be 13+ before you can even be on youtube, and even then you can't view everything on the site. KZbin kids is for kids even younger, though some videos and issues have arose with that site because the controls aren't *nearly* as tight as they could be.

I think it's because the expectations are clear with the pure-NSFW person, but things are muddy for folks like Happy who skirt that line, and when things are muddy, people get confused and angry. This is not the fault of people who skirt the line, by the way. It's just a phenomenon that seems to happen in these spaces.

(2) Happy's recent (albeit not now) "St**p Game" and "Fu*****i" drawings were posted in her *16+* server that any person who had an account could access (regardless of if they had the 18+ role). To her saying a racial slur as a "joke," I and many other people saw that as unacceptable. Additionally, as a Black lady myself, I found it completely frightening to see that word used regardless of whether it was a "joke" or not. Finally, (3) I would like to ask if you could maybe update this video to remove me from it- or at least censor my old display name- as I do not want my post to be used in a way that makes it seem as "attacking" Happy. Besides that, I thought it was a great video, dude (definitely going to be a new subscriber)! (p.s. I didn't know where to put this, but I do not associate myself with the people who dislike Happy for who she is; however, I do believe that she needs to take actual criticism of her person into consideration. She is a great artist, and I love that from her, so I wanted her to build upon herself to become a better person.)

Nice video, if a little brief. The happylikeawall iceberg is deep and kind of insufferable.

[@thelumpofdirt6257]

from what I've seen, happy gets mostly creeps, a lot of meanies, and a few genuine folk. for some reason, a lot of the meanies think they fall into the latter. just read the replies to happy's comment 💀💀 happy doesn't even make nsfw, it's all bait. onlyfans is all bait, Twitter, tiktok, youtube whatever is all bait. she does have a few nsfw channels on discord where others can post, but her mods check to make absolutely certain you are 18+. and she NEVER posts in those channels unless it's for admin reasons. I guess the upside to hate is that when they comment that they're angry you deleted their comment, you get an extra view and more interaction. yt doesn't care if it's good or bad interaction, they'll push you forward either way. if you've read this far, know you can report people for being pendejos (meanies) and they are like pets. don't give them attention when they are being bad, don't reply or anything. they will (mostly) always want the final word. And that's concludes my ted talk :D

if you make nsfw you should expect your fandom to draw your character in nsfw content as well, like its ok when happy does it but not her fans? its not like shes drawing herself its a cartoon character, people dont draw it out of spite they draw it because there freaky, and if she didnt wanna deal with all this and is ace maybe she shouldnt have chose "sex sells" as her money maker 💀

I'm a new sub of happy, I dont see a problem of drawing sugestive content. If its something they enjoy then let them enjoy it. Happy's content is not hurting anyone, if anyone doesnt like nsfw artist or suggestive artist, then go to other artist who are more family friendly. Theres no point in hating someone for just doing what they like while not affecting others.

[@Crusader-Ramos45]

I have an idea that parody porn of, say, a movie, or show, or anything from anyone’s childhood would be unpredictable and risky. One would end up corrupting a precious piece of their childhood, like a Disney movie, or a cartoon show, or a wholesome slice of life romantic drama anime. I’m an artist drawing nudes, and I’d prefer drawing original NSFW art and romance, no parodies. If it were a parody, I’d rather do it from like a fanservice anime and a video game series meant for teens and anyone 20 and older.

I’m going to be honest here, I always 8magined being an nsfw artist was easier but when you really think about it you realize just how many of them are probably having struggles, perhaps even more so than ourselves. And quite frankly, regardless is Happy sees this or not, I want to say that the bad people out there can be tough and (while I’m not an nsfw artist) I am an artist too and I understand things like that can be hard. At the very least you have my support.

[@nosciumpixel2238]

Being an NSFW artist seems easy because you see only the popular nsfw artist getting traction, while it is actually an extremely competitive space where it's hard to dig your own hole, yes there's a lott of money to make but it's mostly the big guys sharing all the gold there. Then once you draw nsfw it's hard to draw anything else and get traction, while sfw art with cute or sexy girl and ecchi can appeal to both nsfw and sfw community. Also lots of people will just hate or harrzs you for your content since "pron is bad" At the end mots of the guys who stay doing nsfw art and succeed are passionate about that topic, lots of people give up.

[@PantherCat64]

This is a long one, bring some pop corn, little bit of a story time here. There's one vtuber streamer I like who does a lot of... I guess that's the best term is "Toe dipping" type NSFW stuff and it seems there's a mix of embarrassment and having fun with it. I love her stuff both because of her reactions to the chaos and also when people do say nice things, for whatever reason activates the same part of my brain as seeing a really happy dog. Hay, I hate twitch, I bailed with so many people I thought were entertaining because of how crappy the service is, so it says a lot about how much I enjoy those two things . Anyway, I didn't think much of it, other than the obvious problems that I've heard pop up with streamers, with weirdos thinking they're owed because they threw money at them, but one of the rules on her stream and discord server is, and I quote "No falling in love" Part me thought she was already in a relationship, I guessed she was full on married, and wanted to avoid the standard issues, and her personality gave a lot of impressions of "Yeah she's taken and both are lucky" at first glance too. Apparently no, not sure who's she in to but has mentioned going on dates every great now and then, and I was kinda shocked with that. Both because of goodness gracious even past the streamer personality part of herself she has a lot of genuineness care of people to her positivity and seriously deserves someone that can reflect it back at her, and also because she HASN'T had any major issues with people despite not only mentioning that she's single and at least causally looking but admits she's uh... 'busty' in the front area that it has caused issues, both in clothing choices and social activities, sometimes both if she wears something skimpy... This isn't fully irregular info either, I got this pretty quickly from the first few months. Its small things, however we all know the average NSFW artist should know not to be blurting these things out, especially often enough new people will catch on quickly, women especially seem to get the worse of the why you don't do that. However there's not any locked down socials I know of, I haven't checked the twitter because I don't know how to do that, but yeah she's got a lot of open communication, though a second rule is "good vibes only" though a more accurate term is "No trauma dumping" which fair, I think only specific creators should have that door open, both in terms of what they can handle themselves, and also what the community around them is open to. So maybe that helps too, because she doesn't ban people often, in fact of all my time I've seen people be warned but never banned, a bit of a "I'll accept/acknowledge NSFW fan art, but direct nudity must be tasteful and even then its a high chance I might not" and overall she handles things with a lot of I guess... Well, its not great, but the best term I could come up with would be "Opened but also controlled." I bring this up, both because this reminded me of that, but also a bit because I do think there is a decent amount of hope for NSFW artists to not have to fully lock down everything if they don't want to, but there is a lot to it. I mean, You'll have weird people no matter what, but I think what helped at least this creator that's worth to take lessons from is to make boundaries clear and fast, and some might need to be more strict with the pressure depending on both the nature of the NSFW in question, what the creator is comfortable with, or just... because weird people are taking the front row seat. Lastly fast doesn't just mean for your newer members, but also when you start, the more you let the inappropriate communication happen without a response of boundaries or maybe even a major reminder of them, the more it might be harder to control later if you start getting bigger. Yeah 5 months late, but hopefully someone wanting to go into this territory might see this and it helps them. Which, hay, if it does: I'm happy for you!
