Artists nuking their galleries??

[Meloeatta]

People like Brohan, Wafflesonawaifu, Sorry-- its just
weird
ive always been one who likes to have things archived and i dont know how i feel about people just like
suddenly destroying all of their work
especially since im pretty sure some of them have patreons and thats gotta be really messy
if yall know whats up with any of them id appreciate knowing the situation*
(*except sorry, i only brought them up as a semirecent example, and they've explained why they did it)

[Tetrahedra]

the first time i had an artist that i followed do that, i started saving everything. still only have one picture from that artist to this day, never seen any of his work uploaded anywhere else.

[zerothx16]

It really gets on my nerves. I honestly feel they do it because they know its pissing people off and they want attention, or that they suddenly decided to go religious. I also save everything now

Just save everything you like and spare yourself the grief.

yikes okay
you are right about all that stuff though

I honestly feel they do it because they know its pissing people off

double yikes
id like to think that isnt the case most of the time

i wasnt trying to make this for "waah people deleted their galleries how dare they deprive me of my fetish art!!" reasons i was just worried if something happened to them or what they decided to do or if they're moving to a new site or something
ive reached out to one of them so im just
devilishly curious to what happened to the other artist

1. This is a porn site and some artists (especially those that wanna go pro) are paranoid about people finding out about their weirdo fetish art.
2. Artists have notoriously low self-esteem, are often prone to depression and get emotionally unbalanced. (Well that rings true to most people hanging around the internet.) That may lead to the point of feeling so terrible about their own art that nuking ensues.
3. Some artists may develop bad blood with their fanbase, get tired of dealing with trolls and disheartening comments. Or just grow distant with the vore community as a whole.
4. Those that go to patreon may no longer feel this site is necessary or even that it harms their reputation for whatever reason.

Just save everything you like and spare yourself the grief.

Artist should really ask themselves if putting their stuff out there as public is really something they want to do. They should know what they are getting themselves into before putting something so sensitive up. People here take themselves so damn seriously. This stuff is just for fun... or at least it should be.

I personally get really annoyed with people deleting their stuff. Its like they don't think like... at all before they put their stuff up. I am a firm believer that anything created should be archived and not be erased. It doesn't matter how important or weird it is, it is important to not erase stuff from history.

[MechaSharkZilla]

Most of the cases I've seen are either from the dreaded "My work is terrible and isn't fit to be viewed by the public" situation, someone who is trying to get a fresh start, with no weird fetish art baggage attached, and one artist I know of whose girlfriend made an ultimatum of "stop with the vore, or we're through", which was really sad to see, because that's unhealthy.

I'm sad when I see galleries nuked, but I can understand why an artist would want to do it, and I don't fault them for it.

Yeah, hard agree with jaggedjagd here. While I do like having stuff archived, I believe it's pretty important to have something of a 'right to be forgotten'. If an artist wants to drop off the face of the earth and take their works with them, that's totally in their right.

[zerothx16]

That's a pretty high horse you're riding there. You gotta realize that art is something extremely personal for an artist. Especially art that is of sexual nature. Giving the argument "Well they should have known better." does not fly. That can be flipped very easily on you: "Maybe you should be the one smart enough to save the stuff you want beforehand."

I do save everything I like :) I said that above.

Artists don't owe you anything. Unless you yourself paid for a specific piece of art, the creator can do whatever they goddamn please with their art. That's a fact you have to accept and get over it.

This isn't about people owing me anything :) And I can have my own goddamn opinion and that's a fact you have to accept and get over :)

What are you even talking about? Shit gets lost and forgotten all the time. Nobody's gonna keep an archive of every single bit of erotica created.

Sure stuff does get lost and forgotten, but that doesnt mean it should be no matter what it is. People can learn from anything especially when it comes to stuff that inspires you. It doesnt matter how pointless something is, it all can serve a purpose

[Filan]

I just save things that way I can go back and view art stuffs even when artists delete it. I even have a plugin that protects my right to right click so I can always save without going into dev mode since some sites think they can take away control of MY browser.

Humans want to do what makes them happy. However, this can be anything from wearing a "different" than "normal" set of clothing to drawing the actions of one creature eating the other.

Let's give some basic examples. A Podcast might just end. The people involved could state why it started happening. The very one I am thinking of started to have kids and their life was gonna be focused on raising their kids. The few times they do update almost "once" a year gave the feeling that their time is spent on their newborns and they can't spend any more time on games but simple quick cell phone stuff.

A famous webtoon show was hitting it hot. It had a new real video game releasing. Following by the fact that it was gonna be in a Poker video game with three other famous people of comic/Video Game/ Web Comic fame. Then, the website went pure silent for a few years. There was no real update directly on the site. The answer to that was again, a few simple things. One was the fact that their idea pool went entirely into the first video game. The second was the fact that yes their newborns were needing more attention. A simple final fact to point out was that they had a minor silly Band to focus on, they had about two different for TV shows to work on, so a proper 'easy' to find update didn't really happen and now the webtoon is on holiday release only for the most part.

Now I recall a vore artist that had a very different idea on things. They did draw a few comics that they felt odd or perhaps slightly wrong about being in their "puck"~sona and kept chibi drawing them self-being in that sona and out of it. Overall at the very end of everything they closed down the public viewing of their stuff on FA, yes. It's still searchable but the page is on "lock" mode or whatever. They felt off, kind of wrong, and perhaps the entire thing needed to be bury to start on a job or their life.

It can be family, new humans, death, bullying, the fear of being found out, being found out and that new fear. It's their choice, as long as they don't still request money while doing nothing, it should be their choice. There are some jerks that will do it for the attention but overall we as "viewers" don't know other peoples lives and how they think.

You can have your own opinion, and no one can take that from you. But you CAN'T demand that people acknowledge it as a fact. Other people are just as free to have their own opinions and the second you start touting it like it's some kind of gospel that others have to obey you, you're choosing to stop acting like a human being and start acting like a petty tyrant.

Also, aritsts that go professional tend to delete their galleries because corporations can and will track their shit down, and then fire them over it just to cover their own asses as a just-in-case measure. Your jollies and your little "information wants to be free!" attitude doesn't constitute a reason for them to risk their livelihoods. And frankly it's a horrible, selfish, and most of all stupid position to occupy. If people listened to your viewpoint you wouldn't suddenly have unlimited access to lots of content, instead you'd never have ever seen many, many artists because they'd "think twice" about ever posting anything and just never share it.

[Merodi]

You're not entitled to an artists art. If they wanna delete everything you like from their gallery and only leave the stuff you hate in their gallery, they can do that.
If they want to nuke their entire gallery to be safe, it's their choice too.

[SeruOmen]

I've done it a couple of times, but this last time was to rebrand and separate my fetish art from non-fetish art.
I backed up all of my own drawings before deleting... but before I could decide EXACTLY how I wanted to go through with rebranding, my computer crashed and I lost like 90% of my work.

Sad day.

You don't like my opinion so you resort to calling me names? Apparently, I am the bad guy but at least I don't call people names. Most people here don't agree with me are at least respectable about it.

Okay, well I respectfully urge you to point out where I said my opinion was fact. All I am seeing is my statement that it annoys me, that people don't make sure they truly want to put their fetish are out there as this is the internet and most people on the world could run across it by some means. I also stated my personal belief that it's important to archive what you can as you can be inspired by or learn from anything no matter how big or small.

This is something I had not thought too much about but I stopped reading towards the end because of the way you attack people who have an opinion you don't agree with. Again though if you have an interest in pursuing art as a career (like I do) don't put your fetish shit out there unless your passion is for sexual art? I've never heard of a case where a professional artist lost their job because the company decided to look for fetish stuff. I understand they could maybe run across it since something looks similar. With how many people are putting their creative work up in the modern times, you start to find that its hard to tell artists apart. Like I said before I would like to make a living off of my creativity, so I have tons of professional artworks saved for inspiration and I can't tell who the artist is on most of them, I just have them narrowed down if I need to search for them.

Why are people saying you are automatically considered acting entitled when someone deletes their stuff and it is annoying to you? I guess that means I was very entitled when my cat pushed my coffee off the table? I was also very entitled a few weeks ago when someone bought me a computer and it stopped working the first time I turned it on. I think its normal when you follow something you enjoy and you get upset when its suddenly gone. A lot of the art here is fetish stuff sure, but there are a few artists I follow that I legitimately love their style. Plus there are 3D artists here that can pull of animations (You know the people) that take incredible talent. At that point, it doesn't matter if its fetish art, it matters that it took a lot of effort. People have no idea how difficult 3D animation is.

There has been artist I followed that deleted their stuff and I did something that would surprise people here apparently. I did not hound them and I let them fade away in peace. If I find there are from an outside source I download it and keep it to myself.

Your coffee was yours. You (presumably) bought the coffee and cup, and took time to prepare it. You'll also have to clean up, using your cleaning stuff, which you paid money for. You also owned the computer.
Unless you personally commissioned their entire gallery and they didn't let you save any of the art, you're not entitled to anything. I personally got really upset when one of my favorite artists, who almost exclusively drew guro art of my favorite character, deleted their nsfw-tumblr, sure. But it was their decision, because employers tend to see kink art as bad.
Sometimes artists gotta protect themselves, and even if they just wanna get rid of it because they're not into it anymore, or just don't like their old art, they're allowed to nuke their galleries without alerting anyone.

I didn't really own the computer yet, as it broke before I couldn't really claim ownership. At that point, it was still technically my parents and sisters since they paid for it to celebrate my near graduation, and I could not use it. Plus they decided to get it repaired because the town I have to live in has no good repairmen. Gotta replace the word "upset" with "entitled" since that's what everyone who disagrees with me is trying to paint it as. Also, I never stated that it isn't the artists right to delete their stuff but at this point, I don't care. I put my opinion out there, it did not hurt anybody yet everyone is going to go ahead and twist the words around. I respect your standpoint though. If someone decides to work with a company that doesn't respect their employee's privacy then that's the way it is.
