Seriously. Are any other artists talking about it? I dont follow many jp artists but the ones I do did not mention this.
My friend whom I've worked with, Pedocchi, had some of his illustrations made private on Fanbox. Another artist I follow had issues regarding using JK (high schoolgirl) as a tag earlier on Pixiv Fanbox.Seriously. Are any other artists talking about it?

The way things are operating, it's obvious Pixiv is allowing an AI to run rampant on their system. The same thing happened to sites like Pastebin where a lot of my pastes were forcibly made private cause certain words triggered the AI. I've also seen it happen a couple days ago on the Discord of a Hong Kong based game company hosting their game on Taiwanese servers to avoid Chinese censorship; they had to implement an AI to deal with Chinese spambots, and the AI automatically refused one of my posts cause it contained an mp4 from the game's official social media account it deemed to be inappropriate.
An AI moderator that is obviously designed by westerners trying to appease Mastercard or Paypal's anti-underage depiction policy is ill-equipped at handling Bishoujo-style characters, since the entire concept of the Bishoujo art style is Lolicon.
So its gone from bad to worse.But now that AI is looking at the images themselves, this'll be much harder to work around. However, unlike the ignorant and intellectually dishonest western fandom that doesn't know what Lolicon is in relation to anime and manga, Japanese artists are more likely to band together and force Pixiv to not become Patreon.
I'm not at all surprised. They've been giving shit to those swimsuits for years now, happened with the censorship to Swimsuit Roll in Rockman x Dive then the presence of those garbage swimsuits in a 2023 anime that I pointed out. Seems like their issue is those swimsuits are usually worm by younger girls thus somehow confirms age, a similar issue with randoseru being worm usually by grade 1-6 kids so on DLSite you'll see the backpack censored in h-doujins but uncensored on other stores or the physical release.
Thread on PixivFanbox fucking around with Rohitsuka's stuff. Supposedly it has to do with the word "sukumizu" (school mizugi) and not the art itself? I am not sure but guess it joined the banned word list.
Huh....I thought they would go after "ryona" of all tags with those initial guideline changes. I am guessing this is a new initiative of going all out on specific tags/words starting mid January.
I'm guessing a 80 GB vps won't do , It's a Japanese image hosting + e-commerce website (fanbox) without mastercard ESG fuckery that's needed? There's always Nijie.really want a pixiv competitor
