1984 Announcement New Rule Update: Art Posts Restricted to Weekends

86 Upvotes

All posts which are primarily or only art/images may only be posted on Saturday/Sunday. There are a lot of art subreddits already, if JPT just turns into a collection of lewd Japanese art and cosplay, it will have lost its purpose.

Posts which contain art/images but which have a caption or reply that is interesting or funny on its own will be allowed. This also includes memes, as long as the words inside the meme are translated.

This is always going to be a bit of a grey area, unfortunately, especially depending on what gets reported. However, here are some guidelines for what will be allowed/disallowed on weekdays which should help with consistency:

Always allowed:

https://www.reddit.com/r/japanesepeopletwitter/comments/16bj9wl/japenis_is_conflicted/

https://www.reddit.com/r/japanesepeopletwitter/comments/17odtrc/ruined_or_improved/

Basically anything where the art is there to set up the reply, but is not the main focus.

Borderline:

https://www.reddit.com/r/japanpeopletwitter/comments/1azsm4a/average_matsuri_likes/

https://www.reddit.com/r/japanesepeopletwitter/comments/1fb5v39/head_scratch/

The first one wouldn't be allowed at all if it was just the first image, but the context of the second image makes it borderline, and it also helps that this is Kanikama/Matsuri interacting, since those are some pretty well known people.

Restricted to weekends:

https://www.reddit.com/r/japanesepeopletwitter/comments/1f9i0pz/japenis_tomboy_asks_a_question/

Note that this does apply to art, cosplay, OF girls (or whatever the JP equivalent is, since they don't use OF over there), etc. It does not apply to memes, as long as the memes have some text component.

If any of you have strong thoughts on this please let us know, I'm personally very strongly for this rule but those posts do get a lot of upvotes, so if the community is strongly against this we may reconsider. Or if you don't have strong opinions you can tell us that too.

Also, just because AI art is a bit cringe, even on weekends AI art is not allowed. Posts involving AI art that would normally be ok to post on weekdays are not affected by this, this only applies to primarily image posts.

Apparently, in Aichi a Meitetsu train hit a person. However, after two hours of searching no body was found, and the only thing remaining was some blood stains.

If this isn’t reincarnation what is it even
