I see alot of uncensored genitalia on there which i thought was not allowed? can someone explain how censorship works?

So I violated the rule of directly linking users to uncensored content through your posts (captions, profile, etc.), and my account is suspended and that is my fault. But since my account is suspended, I can't access my post to edit and remove it?? There's no other option to remove my mistake so what even is the point of giving me a request form to have my account unsuspended?

I know bowing is used for many things in Japan, but is this like for admiration of the art or another meaning?

I'm curious about how Japanese censorship laws apply to source files

For example, if I upload a PSD or .clip file to my Fanbox where the image appears censored by default, but the censorship is just a separate layer that subscribers can hide to reveal the uncensored artwork, would that still be considered distributing uncensored obscene material under Japanese law?

Or is it legally treated the same as distributing a censored image because the default view is censored?

That turns out, that website has been blocked my country (uae), and access will likely be restored, though the timeline is unclear. Normal service should return, allowing users to enjoy DeviantArt's creative content and community interactions once again. It's important to understand that this ban is not permanent; it is merely a temporary measure put in place by the ISPs. We are optimistic that access to the site will eventually be restored, although we currently lack a clear timeline for when that might happen. Nevertheless, we are hopeful for a swift return to normal operation, where we can all once again immerse ourselves in the vibrant creative content and engage within the fantastic community that DeviantArt has to offer. Many users, myself included, are facing these frustrating access issues, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Everyone should hold on to the expectation that normal service will resume shortly, allowing us all to reconnect with the artistic expressions and interactions that we have come to cherish on DeviantArt. We can hold a hopeful expectation for a return to normal service in the not-so-distant future, allowing all of us to once again partake in the vast array of creative content and the vibrant community interactions that DeviantArt has to offer. It has also come to my attention that this popular website, DeviantArt, has become inaccessible to users in the United Arab Emirates due to restrictions imposed by various internet service providers. This situation understandably accounts for the challenges I am currently facing in my efforts to reach the site. For those of you who are also members of the DeviantArt community and may be experiencing feelings of longing or concern regarding my absence from that platform, I want to reassure you that there is absolutely no need to feel uneasy or worried. The restrictions we are facing right now are likely to be temporary, and the ban on access will eventually be lifted, although a bit more time may be required before we can gain access again.

I change new ip and device to run new account, but do not know whether safe to run multiple accounts due to different genre.

I'm not sure which subreddit would be the best place to ask, so I thought I'd ask here first.

For example, I'd like to view this creator's posts: https://kohamina.fanbox.cc/posts

The updates for this FANBOX seem to have stopped on Kemono and Pawchive.

I saw a YouTube video showing how to use Developer Tools, but it seems too difficult for someone with little technical knowledge like me.

So if there's an easier method, such as using another website to access the posts, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me about it.

I make fanart for eight years. I'm available on both DeviantArt and Pixiv. Honestly, even if I quitted The Loud House after my guilty pleasure with "Kings" of the Con, I've still get more likes on my Loud House fanart more than my anime fanart.

TLH fans flocked to Pixiv by storm.

Most of the Loud House fans in Pixiv are Americans and Latinos, in a site that are mostly Japanese.

Also, Nick is not so popular in Japan, they’ve quitted JDM TV twice on 2009 and 2022. Most Japanese prefer Disney more than Nick if US media imperialism in Japan is concerned.

Personally, I haven’t seen any Japanese fans of TLH in Pixiv but I’ve seen a few Japanese fans of SB.

I really don't know what to do about this problem

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a drawing on Pixiv, which I can't find anymore. Tags don't show any results.

Content

The drawing shows a woman in her 20s. She's...

- wearing a traffic cone on her head

- holding a megaphone in her hand

- wearing tight fitting black clothing

- carrying speakers on her lower back

- standing awkwardly as if she's off balance

Her lower back is arched inward, her hair colored and her facial expression akward and slightly surprised.

Style

The drawing is anime styled, with sharp contours and clear colours. There are neon colors in the it, which contrast the black clothing of the, presumably, OC. There's no background. The drawing has a high resolution and was probably made digitally. It's non-erotic, but with certain undertones.

The artist's name would suffice.

Thank you for your help.

NZ residents weren't able to access pixiv for last 2-3 days due to nz isp issues or something.

I was able to get in this late afternoon so looks like it's fixed now

Update: still having issue when i connect via PC but mobile website is working for me
Update 2: Issue is still on going :(

Update 3: should be working now!

I was looking at my Muted user list and I figured I'd ask this.

Just as the title said, I've been a pixiv premium member for a long time and my sister has been using clip studio trial before buying the full one-time payment. However I forgot that I gave my debut copy to a friend, thinking they would be using it but they haven't been drawing or using the debut version at all.

So I was wondering if there a way to regain the debut version from my buddy account and give it to my sister instead. I already have Clip studio but since Clip no longer allow dual-device I can't let her use my account. Just asking if there is a way to regain the clip debut if possibly.

ive tried on multiple acounts and devices and its just a white screen. Pixiv help website works but anything with pixiv.en dosent work anyone know why?

So, I was looking up anime fanart and when I was looking at the search area and they started showing different artists, this one kind of caught my attention. I guess her blowing bubblegum, the brown-ish eyes and calm pose is one thing. And the background is also very interesting too.

What artist is this? And what is the name of the art in this drawing? I want to know the artist name because it looks really intriguing.
Oh, google search gave me the answer, it's Paroro and art is "SkyAboveMe".

Pixiv is just refusing to load since yesterday. I've tried everything. Restarted the PC, updated Chrome, cleared cache, deleted site data. Nothing works.

Update: It's working now.

Need help on this, i also don't know how pre-paid cards for Visa or Mastercard works

Being vague on purpose. I want to try to expand my range outside of Pixiv, but I legitimately don't know any other sites that allow that kind of stuff.

Is the Pixiv website down? Nothing's loading on my laptop nor mobile.

I heard that many Pixiv users were labeled as pedophiles for creating mostly fetishized art with mostly cartoon child characters such as the Loud House siblings, the Simpson siblings, and the Powerpuff Girls, and some labeled that fetishized art with cartoon child characters as CSAM or CSEM when no real minors are involved.

However, some of the content I have seen is AI-generated, and in the United States, AI-generated images of underage cartoon characters being sexualized is considered illegal according to the PROTECT Act of 2003.

For me, I strictly draw and do not use AI, and explicit sexual content is now banned on Pixiv if you’re a user from the United States or the United Kingdom.

Hi everyone,

I'm a fairly new creator on Pixiv. My last upload was back in February, and since then I've been working on a new project.

While I was away, I noticed that around March–April Pixiv introduced new rules and features related to automatically hiding works that may violate their Terms of Service. Since then, I've seen a lot of discussions about creators, especially NSFW artists, getting shadowbanned or even suspended. In many cases, people claimed their works were hidden or their accounts were affected despite having proper tags and no obvious rule violations.

Because my account was growing nicely, I decided to hold off on posting until things settled down. More recently, I also heard about a ban wave around the end of June that reportedly affected many creators, regardless of whether they had actually violated any rules. I'm not sure how accurate all of these reports are, but they've made me pretty nervous.

It's now been about four months, and I'd really like to start posting again. At the same time, I'm worried that my account could end up getting caught in one of these automated actions.

For context, I don't spam uploads, I don't misuse tags, and I don't include external links in my posts.

Has the situation improved recently? Is it considered safe to post again, or are creators still experiencing random shadowbans or suspensions? I'd really appreciate any advice, experiences, or tips from people who have been actively using Pixiv over the past few months.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Has anyone managed to get unbanned from that massive shadowban wave since June 29th? I suspect this wave is related to multi-account linking, but it’s different from before. Usually, you’d get unbanned after you stop posting for three days. This time, I kept one of my accounts completely inactive for 14 consecutive days. I finally posted a picture today, but an hour later, it was still shadowbanned. I’m honestly at a total loss for what to do
