>It's still broken even though you can goon to it
I love targeted, hostile and disparaging flagging (certainly not organized via a certain gay chat app) that selectively chooses to disregard stylization on good R18 art all the while thousands of posts on par with shit like post #9650079 are considered acceptable. Really enhances my "repository of high-quality anime-style art and doujinshi" experience.

Wait, you're the one who has been flagging all the junbuug posts?

Maybe up your approval standards. I noticed you have a tendency to approve flagged posts that have issues and that get deleted on a re-flag (post #10173431 being the most egregious one imo if you want to post examples). This does not speak towards your judgement.
Just a thought.

And no, I did not organize the flagging via this app nor did anyone (I'm not the flagger here). It's called quality control.

Up my standards to what end? So that only the most flawless character illustrations can reside alongside garbage like post #8882541, post #10580113 and post #9646104? Engaging in dishonest nitpicking while ignoring mountains of garbage is not quality control, actual quality control was abandoned long ago. The current dominant control framework is "does discord like it?" and "did someone whine about it on discord?", that's all.

I think for the most part the userbase is fully cognizant of this, but making these "one of of her forearms looks about 3 cm longer than the other, quality check" and "weird face" flags on objectively high effort and high quality anime illustrations gives them a sense of comfort and normalcy.

bro look at her spine

Never let any one here gaslight you here over what is good quality or not (Although in this case the spine is pretty wonky). You're basically the only approver here that bothers to approve posts with any regularity while others are content to just skip over everything. To this day I still have no idea what constitutes "danbooru quality" here because every time I upload something it's like playing a slot machine and getting post #OOO was disapproved (disinterest) 70-80% of the time. All "disinterest" tells me is that they aren't even judging it, just skipping over it with out even looking at it.

I think we can all agree that anyone who blames any misfortune on le heckin' discord boogeyman is to be ignored

Given the angle it is not that bad, a 90 degree curve is not unrealistic. Maybe she does yoga.

I'd sooner disregard anyone saying "le heckin'".

Find me someone doing yoga with this pose and maybe I'll approve it.

There isn't some conspiracy to target certain users uploads/approvals, it's just objectively bad anatomy. Seriously why is this even an argument? Her body is N shaped and her torso looks to be way too long.

I based my assessment on this picture:

It is admittedly a bit difficult finding someone bending to such a degree in that particular pose (ribs on ground and legs going diagonally down instead of further backwards). But there are a few that look even more painful (search for backbend), so I think it's plausible.

That could be the perspective. I have more of a problem with the size of her head, but then this an anime character and clearly some sort of knife-ear, so I don't know to what degree human standards need to apply.

Compared to the kind of shits you regulary approved (post #10634354, post #10665233, post #10671922, post #10674441) this one might as well be the Mona Lisa.

Why is the approval process on this site so goddamn schizophrenic? Good pictures can end up getting deleted because ten reviewers look at them and choose “disinterested” (AKA can’t find anything wrong with the pic but still refuse to approve it for some reason), while the most cursed slop regularly slips through.

Oh come on, that last on is cute.

I based my assessment on this picture:

If you follow the spine of the woman in the photo, you'll see that it forms a curved line. Each of the intervertebral joints are contributing to the spine's total range of motion. Compare with the posted image, in which both the torso's upper and lower halves appear to be mostly straight, making it seem like only one or two joints are contributing.

Again, take a search for "backbend". It's pretty freaky.

AlsoSprachOdin said in comment #2575895:

Again, look at the spine. It's curved throughout, not making a sharp bend in just one spot. Even with above-average flexibility, the range of motion of each individual joint isn't very high.

We appear to be seeing two different things. From the head up I'm seeing the back going straight up, then a maybe 15 bend degree to the right followed by some more straight, before everything suddenly bends 270 degrees right over the buttocks.
Well how about this one then? I don't think this anime girl is that implausible in comparison.

If some videos would help you can look up contortionists on youtube. Be warned though, it's frankly horrific.

This image is fine

This is Hereinafter's fish post.

Why are we arguing over whether or not it's technically possible irl? That doesn't make it look any less bad. Just because a real person, a person who specifically trains themselves to be able to do it btw, can do it doesn't mean the artist didn't fuck up.

It looks bad. A normal person doesn't just casually bend their back like a contortionist and not find themselves in the hospital. Unless the artist has stated she's a contortionist, and I doubt it, it's bad anatomy.

The lower back is only bending about 80-90 degrees at most. You need to take the angle of the pelvis into account.

The lower back bends more because the joints in the lumbar spine have more range of motion than those in the thoracic spine. Also, notice how the back side is compressed while the front side is stretched out. This occurs throughout the torso. You can even see her top wrinkling in the back.

Well how about this one then? I don't think this anime girl is that implausible in comparison.

If you remove everything from the ribcage up, you can still tell she's bending her back. However, if you crop the posted image so that everything to the right of the navel is removed, the character's lower back will appear completely straight.

If some videos would help you can look up contortionists on youtube. Be warned though, it's frankly horrific.

I know what contortionists are, and I know none of them would be so foolish as to not make use of every joint in their body to reach those positions.

Edit: blindVigil is right. Ultimately, aesthetics are more important than technical accuracy. However, I do think if the lumbar spine were bent more, it would balance things out and make it not look so bad.

My comment on real life accuracy was not meant to be taken seriously but all the images provided literally do not show the pose in the original post anyway. I'm fairly confident that it's not possible in real life without surgical modifications or rare genetics at play. Nothing in this post suggests that though.

I do think anatomy accuracy can be important though because there are times I see people flag for bad anatomy on this site that make me question the average users views on the flexibility of the human body. In this case though it's kind of redundant because this is more extreme.

I really don't think this needed to be as blown up as it has been to be honest, especially when this comment section had been dormant for 18 days and the feedback was 12 days ago. I also don't think we should be leaving positive feedbacks that are aimed at insulting other users (approvers in this case) rather than actually highlighting the postive contributions made by the feedback receiver.

Right, forgetting my basic math.

Well, she is a knife-ear. They get a bonus to dexterity.

Thats a worth reading comment section.
