Turning "Official Artist Extras" into a tag

Posted under General

I don't know why you think this has anything to do with whether or not it's "corporation approved". You're insane if you think people looking for official art of a gacha game are expecting to see porn just because the artist decided they were horny.

It has everything to do with whether an illustration was published in official capacity.

We have 4 different rating filters I'm not going to be scandalized by that.

What he meant is that porn fanart drawn by the official artist shouldn’t be tagged official art. Counterargument to what you said about no need to be so strict on official art.

Anime is made by people, I don't think It's an scandal to say that what these people may create in their free time for the IPs they work in is official-grade content. In fact it may be more official than no-name sweatshop illustrations under official capacity. For all it matters to danbooru 'all images are unofficial fanart' is legal coverage (it most likely is as well).. [etc]

Random innocent doodles might be harder to distinguish, but if any official artist felt naughty enough to produce nsfw content of their own characters, going by you definition it will definitely pollute official art.

I understood that fine, it was just my low effort response to a rude reply.

Honest answer:
I'm flexible on this topic, if the illustrations transgress the spirit and theme of the copyright then it might be ok to not tag them so.
However I really need some examples to ground this discussion on reality.
Complaining about nsfw stuff in gacha of all things made me raise my eyebrow for one: take almost everything in honjou_raita official_art one dude didn't stop considering it official art just because it's more sexualized than the rest of f:go official_art, and for sure one dude didn't stop considering them so just because the source for most of them is either his twitter account or a doujinshi. They even have a line in his artbooks explicitly declaring such drawings are not official.

Big surprise, a tag isn't immaculately clean. If you check the history of those posts, official art was added to a lot of those posts this year by a single member level user. It's not a "we" situation. It's a "one person mass tagging incorrectly and nobody noticed" situation.

Can't say I'm not embarrassed. Alright I made my case for why most artist extras should be official art, changed my vote in official_artist_extra since having them in another tag is better than not having them at all.

I prefer 'official artist extra' since it conveys a meaning more concretely than 'official_artist'
