RE: Art, Female Nipples, NSFW & Censsorship - The conservative views from the world of Facebook and how should we behave on Steemit
I commented before already, but let me do so again - I am referring to your line ".....why should artists tag their artwork as if it was porn?"
Exactly, I am with you on that 100%. I rarely, if ever, tag my artwork that way. You are right, it attracts the wrong crowd. I have a website dedicated to artists in my circles (grown to over 500 by now) and once, checking my Google stats I noticed a huge spike on one artist friends page. Looking further into this I find that most hits came via one social site in Poland. I don't speak Polish, so I had a Polish artist check it out for me. She said that site is a popular social site for teenagers, and the posting that went 'viral' in Poland had a link to my page with the words: 'you can see a lot of tits on there!'
Yup, that's exactly what I don't want to happen. Yes, my models have beautiful tits, but I would never want to show them in a pornographic manner, it will be completely disrespectful for them and their bodies. They are muses for art and not porn stars. Of course, I have no control over the way that some idiots on the web might see it and share, but I would deffinitely not do it myself by using this tag, that is practically placing them there.
So to me it's beyond just attracting the wrong viewers to my artwork and not treating my own artwork with respect, it's also about shaming my models.
"I have no control over the way that some idiots on the web might see it and share" - that was exactly the issue here - and my friend once had his access blocked by Facebook over a nude back view of an angel - so for a back-up in case he gets blocked again, he installed me (and another close friend) as administrator on his Facebook artist page. He is now on Steemit and doing very well. Most of his Facebook posts show only details, with a link to the images on his website.
:P Facebook is a tyranny... I know so many that were blocked and their accounts were deleted, it's crazy!
Well, they just keep on sending all of the good people here, with their very own hands :D
that's right! On Facebook, I am on account nr. 3 (one I can access only on my phone, another only on a broken notebook - the one I am using now on my good computer)- I posted several rants a few months ago. If I comment on a post and use a link, I get flagged for spam. I post stuff from Steemit, it likely gets suppressed in the news feed, because if I post a stupid meme right after, I get a ton of likes!
Yup, that's exactly how the stupid fb system works, show's you only the things within it's platform :P Oh and especially if they're selfies or memes ;D
and tons of ads from their corporate friends ......
Totally, I was blocked twice. Remember that they deleted the World Bodypainting Festival Page with over 30 000 followers without any worning. On the long term tey will lose, I see it already because all the creative people are already sicknof it and will leave.
Yes, you and the bpf were exactly the pages I was talking about.
I cant wait for that evilcorp to collapse!
To be honest, I think they will have to come up with a lot of new changes if they want to keep people there.
I have heard rumors that they are working on making their own crypto.
Which will make the world an even worse place :P
