You folks know what âpurgingâ means, itâs when an Artist goes nuttier than a jar of crunchy peanut butter and they start systematically nuking everything off their E621 and Ink Bunny galleries⌠Artists usually do this because:
(1) âAntisâ (fiction equals reality freaks) harassed them for drawing Cub Yiff and they think purging their past artwork is going to make those Antis leave them alone (sorry, it wonât, Panda Paco purged and people still harass them to this day).
(2) They feel a personal disgust towards their past artwork that is more to do with their own feelings than with Antis.
(3) They are pissed off at a policy at e621 and think that purging their gallery is an effective âprotestâ against themâŚ. (it isnât, and high chances are, someone has already saved your stuff anyway).
(4) The artist is going through a re-brand due to personal reasons and they no longer feel a connection to their old art style, or their old art style does not reflect their current identity (a fine and valid reason, but I still hate full-on art gallery purges and I think theyâre stupid).
ANYWAYSâŚ. what I want to ask of this brand new website that I have never been to before:
May I please post art from artists who have purged for one reason or another????
Or does this place have whatâs called a âDNPâ (Do Not Post) list?
Example, I have some saved pages of a comic called âFoolâs Gambitâ created by the artist Kit Hawkins, I was able to acquire these pages from an archive called âI Watch It For The Plotâ which apparently had a massive Ink Bunny archive, all laid out and listed by Artists in alphabetical order.
What I wanna know is â CAN I post such things, even if the Artist has purged it for X-Y-Z reason????
Or is that against the rules hereâŚ
Just wanted to ask before I start uploading stuff.
