Well, maybe specifically on boards not created for that purpose. It's true that they don't serve as much of a purpose today in the age of boorus and broadband. It can be a good way to discover new artists still, I think, but on boards made for that purpose.

>>143822discovering artists requires discussion, but how it's used is just a fap and go. Asking for sources or any sort of discussion is forbidden.
If it were all removed in place of discussion of a single artwork it would be interesting but people just post a couple images as part of their fetish and ditch. Does nothing for anyone.

>>143825I post because it brings me joy, and on Kissu there's a score system to see if other people liked the image. I generally try to post things that I think other people will like. Personally, I'm not particularly a fan of feet, for instance, but there's one particular poster who I know does enjoy them, so when searching for things I try to also find things they might enjoy.
>>>/ec/15712 >>>/ec/15713>If it were all removed in place of discussion of a single artwork it would be interesting but people just post a couple images as part of their fetish and ditch.Honestly, I don't think most people are educated enough in art critique to be able to properly express what they like or dislike in an image and why they feel that way other than "this looks bad" or "I like this." Even supposing they can explain their reasoning, most people are ignorant of what goes into producing art to be able to formulate a coherent critique so the number of people that could engage in such a discussion would be rather limited. In my experience, imageboard laymen really only talk about "style" which is the most surface level discussion you can have about a piece of art.

>>143831>Art discussion can go beyond that, but it usually doesn't for some reasonWhen it does happen it's pretty nice. I think it also has to do with how engaged you are with the subject matter. Someone casually browsing all the art for various gacha's and characters might not have much of anything to say, but someone waifufagging a specfic character would know a lot about different artists that are prominent in drawing that character, they'd be more acquainted with artstyle in general and could describe why they like or dislike this or that. Leads me to my next point and there can be a lot more context attached to different artists and styles, the different characterizations of a character through doujins gives quite a lot to talk about. Of course this is coming from my own experience of waifufagging and looking at art of her almost exclusively, so actual experience may vary.
>>143838Wait there's a whole score system I didn't know about? What I get for not paying attention I guess.
No.143843
>>143838>I don't think most people are educated enough in art critiqueFair enough. It's a tricky thing to have a conversation about unless you're a theory otaku. I'd only really be able to say which parts of the image appeal to my taste. I could maybe talk about the poses but it would be a bit unnecessary because I'm not an artist.
The value of an image is then, nothing conversation worthy. Because all it is is reposting content for other people's enjoyment, like creating a board of kopipe. If the enjoyment is for the user and contributing to a collection of tastes, then it does have value, but not as something people can contribute to. Low value.
In the hierarchy of value it's pretty low on the list.
If someone were to upload each page of a doujin it would create much more conversation and people would critique it from multiple angles of story/art/pacing.
So someone could put in more effort and produce something that has a higher collective value.
No.143845
That has a higher collective value while also following the idea of imagedumping

>>143843>If someone were to upload each page of a doujin it would create much more conversation and people would critique it from multiple angles of story/art/pacing.I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but this is more or less the original conception behind boorus. The idea being that it would be a sort of alternative format of imageboard with discussion downstream of an image. Needless to say, the comments on boorus like gelbooru, danbooru, sankaku, r34, etc. all pretty much boil down to "boy, I sure would love to do that" with little exception. Ironically, the place that seems to have the most meta/critique is Exhentai, in my experience. Though that tends moreso to focus on the quality of scans, typesetting, and translation instead of the doujin art itself.

>>143848Honestly what kind of discussion is there to be had?
There's clearly demand for it. A lot of people just LIKE sharing images. And a LOT LOT LOT of people like being able to browse a thread and see a bunch of images. Being slightly "curated" by virtue of most threads having long strings of posts from one guy's collection helps, too.
The only other type of discussion I usually see is just ERP nonsense or rarely "stories" (95% of which I'm sure are made up) but that sort of posting usually just gets really gay and obnoxious really fast.

Saved this on the 17th. Found it on Kissu.

>>154859Adding to this.
Both anime are good. The original has an atmosphere lost on ultimate, so I'd watch that first. Ultimate spends its first two episodes roughly retreading the original until it's time to move onto a new plot. Kinda like Full Metal Alchemist and Brotherhood. And both should be watched on a CRT or OLED if possible, those true blacks the shows use A LOT of is a whole level of experience you can't get with standard LCD monitors or TVs.
>>154864>Did she always have a sword??No, but I wouldn't put it past her to collect stuff like that. She's more of a spearfag main.
