Far too many women getting brutually murdered on Pixiv to be honest. Just addressing the elephant in the room. I don't like the direction this genre has been taking the last year or so on there. Only my opinion and I'm not judging or trying to change anyone's opinion here. But when you see the same scenes over and over again it isn't healthy for artist or audience.

Hi ES
Mine did that yesterday. It's turned on Eclipse mode. There's a button at the top of your page. Just press that to return to "Classic" mode and everything will appear as you're used to seeing it.
Best Regards
Redrunner

See what you mean now - classic is being "retired" and so might I. The search facility I've found to be very poor ! For instance how do you browse for a subject such as photograpy rather than anime ? Very poor I think.
What's other peoples opinion ?

Mr. Peaky Blinder, I totally agree with you on all the brutal violence in the genre.
Yes, it's true, There have been times in my stories where a woman might've killed for her clothing. But it's only when it would be out of character for the stealer not to kill the victim. For instants, the woman in need of a disguise was a super villain and she's ruthless by nature because she's evil. You'd expect her to kill the subject of the steal. But these kills aren't usually shown. If they are, they're not ultra violent and overly bloody and glorify gore with the victim peeing herself as she dies.
This stuff is totally over the top.

DA will eventually become insignificant if it does what it's doing as many who are coming in now either have ultra gory or pornographic taste and chase off talent sometimes by getting them banned for their own lust some dont even contribute anything financially or artistically.
