Note: Now that western works are also allowed here, I think it needs a tag that perhaps sets it apart. Then those who are not interested can blacklist and others can search for them specifically.

Alternatively, this could perhaps be declared a category.

Western content still isn't allowed (I don't remember changing that rule myself, neither have I been properly informed about such a change by Puru), the few exceptions don't need a special tag.

If Puru does think our community which was previously opposed to it can go fuck themselves I'd recommend making separate categories for Western CG and Comic instead of tags (even if I did care to upset the community this way I'm a bit cautious to make new category tags myself, I remember webtoon and artbook being a hot fucking mess back in the day because the system doesn't like new category tags being added and I have no clue if the those issues are still present in the current backend), potentially 3d Comic and 3d CG while we're at it, AI categories if he wants to take this all the way.

If you want to force this through give me a poke on discord, suppose I'll upload my Western and/or 3d and/or AI favorites on EH if this is actually something you approved without me seeing it.

Personally I'd recommend polling opinions on discord first, not really waiting for the inevitable BS claims from Shirou about how it's always my fault when there's anything he doesn't like, so I'd prefer to have it very clear that initiative behind this change would not be coming from me and give people the chance to shoot the idea down if they're still as strongly opposed to it now as they used to be.

I can't find it, but I know in a submission Puru wrote that it's 2024 and that shouldn't be a problem. That's why I started uploading more western stuff in the first place.

God. It's 2024. It's time to change things around here. I approve it as a Category.

Announce it officially on the discord then instead of some comment section. I won't take the fall for allowing it and I won't approve galleries in the category untill the community has been warned/informed properly.

Just to be clear, I'm approving the category preemptively on the assumption that Puru will actually make a proper announcement as I requested and doesn't chicken out immediately after backlash.

I do this in part so that pending uploads that would only be allowed with this category officialized can use the category in advance (they'd still be rejected at some point if Puru doesn't confront the community about allowing it) and in part to test if I can actually make categories properly now (I know it was a fucking shitshow back when Artbook and Webtoon were added).

DO NOT ADD IT TO EXISTING GALLERIES, I will do so in a very limited manner but if this does turn out to be just as big of a mess as those previous categories I'd like to find out in a limited, controlled, environment instead of when dozens of galleries are affected. (that being said Lightsource is the only artist I can think of where this category would be needed but I know there are some others out there)

Done!. If you're worried about getting black lashes, I'd take them all.

Thanks, I will include some western stuff in the next approval wave then (did 99 galleries less than a week ago to make up for sporadic activity so might be a while).

I wasn't sure how far you wanted to go with extra categories so there are 4 more on pending for consideration. Just like Western I have no personal issue with them but I'm not too sure if Pururin is really the right place for them, maybe we should just watch the community response to Western before deciding on that. If those others do end up approved I'd want to have tighter quality control on them, I can think of only a few AI galleries I'd consider worthy of uploading myself but it definitely can be polished up to that point if the "artist" compensates through effort on photoshopping the worst bits and having a good story)

As for Webtoon, Game CG, and Artbook / アートブック I think those categories are niche enough (Artbooks in general I'm not a huge fan of because they're generally just random imagesets with a colophon stapled on, nothing to really 'read' not even a textless narrative like Game CGs) to have Western content share the existing categories instead of spamming new categories for every edgecase.

I think acceptance will come when:
1. not only western things are uploaded
2. the uploaded stuff looks decent (Well, that's a matter of taste, but I hope you understand what I'm getting at)
3. it is also completed stuff

Unfortunately, western artists have a big disadvantage: they live primarily from illustrations rather than comics. Which is why many of their comics take forever to be completed.

I'm not a mod, but I would try to make sure that no currently ongong stuff is uploaded.

Oh right I was gonna mention that as well, with Western content we have to be a lot more vigilant about ongoing content.

Western Content should indeed not replace Asian stuff completely, but because refusing it for this long has created quite a large backlog it will likely be pretty common till we're a bit more caught up.
