Also... "Does not include nudity" SHE'S NAKED AS A JAYBIRD! If you're going to be prudish about fine art and the human form, at least accuse me correctly!

Here's one more for the road! Suzanne Valadon was a model for Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec before becoming a painter in her own right. Her working class background helped render her immune to artificial propriety and she painted her own model-muse through the lens of the female gaze.

If it's any consolation, I got censored for posting Delacroix's 1830 "Liberty Leading the People" —only one of the world's best-known paintings! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty... cc: @moderation.bsky.app

Oh god, not bewbz!!!!

Bared breasts are "The Revolutionary Costume for Today." youtu.be/ZekFLvEDarI?...

I continue my lively correspondence with the Bluesky automod. My objections are as follows: No fine art exceptions No recourse, the appeals process is useless Numerous false positives (I have had multiple silent film GIFs flagged) Numerous actual adult material goes right through unlabeled

Also, I have been fighting this battle my entire life. My parents had a decent collection of Renaissance masters and fashion engraving books. Artistic nudity wasn't shocking, my mom just said that they wanted to study muscles and bones and that was fine. But when I got to school... boy howdy!

A prudish parent managed to get THE BOOK OF GNOMES removed from a classroom (there are breasts in it!)

Testing something

The above painting is The Corpses of the De Witt Brothers, attributed to Jan de Baen. It portrays the decapitated, disemboweled and partially-eaten bodies of Dutch politicians. The automod is fine with it.

The automod was also fine with the severed head of Medusa in the first post of the thread. Well, I guess it's consistent to the inconsistencies of American prudery, I'll give it that.

tl;dr Just because THEY would be the person perving and creeping over the model in a figure drawing class doesn't mean the rest of us are and their censorship says more about them than it does about art or artists.

Wait, what? I read that book in school, I own a copy of it now. That’s one of the most un-laviscious books I can think of! Where the hell did their mind go!?

Right to the gutter, as is the case with all censors. It's like, who is more perverted, the Disney artist who slipped the word SEX into a frame of THE LION KING or the fundies who spent untold hours combing through the film frame by frame in the VHS era?

Has anyone tried to get "L'origine du monde" past them?

either someone is hate-following you to report shit or they're using some sort of nudity detection ai 😬

It's definitely AI, the hammer falls instantly

Automation as an accountability dodge, many such cases. They have to have something and this is something. And inside the company, only a true sicko (laudatory) would take on a project to make it better, since they would then have to tend it forevermore and be keelhauled when it fails.

Nudity???

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF WHAT BREASTS ARE ACTUALLY FOR!!!!!!!!

Wait, doest it mean I'm nude under my clothes? that 8 billion humans are? 😱

DISGUSTING, WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN

I got that label for posting a section of Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights

This is anti-Dutch/Flemish discrimination!

The most discriminated of 1500s era white dudes!

I visited a nice Valadon exhibition this year 👌

honestly i think it's milk squirting out of her tit, thinks it's fetish content lol

The machine labeled a trick film from 1900 as violent. It doesn't have that level of intelligence.

true!
