Derpibooru, is it taboo?


Summer Wish

Recommended Posts

Now I can already feel the heat from the mods torchs, and I am not making this thread to push one fetish artist or another. But Derpibooru has hundreds of thousands of art and animation that many hyper talented people have made, for THIS fandom. Is it "wrong" to mention the site in conversation? Is it prudish to lift one's nose up at such content.?

I see people ( bronys only ? ) use it just to share SFW pictures

Derpibooru does have plenty of clop pics, but there are plenty of SFW pics in addition to the NSFW ones on there. What I like about that site is that it has one of the best filter systems I have ever seen on a site. If you don't want to see something you can blacklist certain tags to avoid it and can also easily use the search feature to find very specific things you want. I have heard mentions of the "toxic" environment there and maybe those people are right but I don't tend to use the forums on there because to be honest I mostly use it as my main source for NSFW pictures so lets just say I am busy doing something else.

It's not that bad a site if you learn to ignore specific members there. Also, make use of the fantastic filter system, and you'd be fine. I frequent there, and I got no problems with it. The moderation team is pretty solid, too.

You can talk about the site, but do not share anything grimdark (horrifying), for mature audiences, and disgusting here.

If you keep a "Default" filter, avoid anything to do with drama or the poorer art, you can do fine. Some of the other tags and the comments (if you cansteer clear from the quarrels and the ruder comments) are amusing to look at.

 

By the way, I am a user from this site, and I usually go there to browse fanart and tag pictures.

I dunno, but they sure hate Sonic on that website. Everytime pictures of Sonic and MLP crossovers are posted, they get more downvotes than upvotes.

Yeah. That I don't understand. I get it that they don't like the fan base very much but they need to give it a rest. For me, I like seeing pics with Sonic and Rainbow Dash for all the right reasons. It could be that Dr. Eggman told the community about Sonic the Hedgehog but that's just me.

Honestly, I had no idea that there was a taboo consideration with Derpibooru. I love the site! The various filters you can use depending if you wish to see explicit art or not is very useful, and I LOVE the tagging system that helps you easily search for any image. It's a fun site. and I use it all the time.

It's got a lot of porn, so if you're into that, I guess it's the site for you.

Yeah, but the porn only makes about <10% of the content there, there is at least 10 safe images for every clop image there. It still happens to be a lot, as there is 900,000+ images hosted there, so that means roughly 90,000 clop images.

 

MLP has the smallest percentage of nsfw work of any fandom compared to its safe work output.

 

To contrast, Roughly 40% of

Pokémon work is NSFW, and Pokémon has more of it than anyone!

I've never seen a site with such organization. With their array of tags, it's really easy to actually look for something you specify. May it be of a picture of a character or episode, everything is scrutinized to the littlest details to provide results. The upvote and downvote system is a interesting feature too. It gauges a rough scale in what's currently popular or not in terms of uploaded content. It seems like a quite bit of the NSFW pictures also linger around the site but as long as the appropriate tags are used, I don't think It'll be a problem.

I don't really use derpibooru that muh, since I prefer dA for the art stuff, but I don't see anything wrong with it.

I don't really "utilize" Derpibooru, as I prefer to look for art directly in artists' galleries at dA.  The latter site boasts a far better, more artist-friendly community.  Huh.  Odd that pony-related art and written works should be more well-received or less often disparaged at dA than they are at either Derpibooru or FIMFiction (two sites seemingly intended specifically for Bronies and Brony-made content).  HmmmmMMMmmMmmm...

This is what i've become to prefer these days too. Derpibooru is good site though i feel that it puts more emphasis on the art than the artist as such i see it more as a 3rd party site as far as artists are concerned it is why I like to look art directly in dA as i feel that im more close to the artists themselves there and i can pay proper respects to their efforts
