Draw a cute boy with nice (yaoi) hands/ hand studies

>>6703598
Trying a new pose

did you ever fapped to your own drawing?

>>6704458
Nah but when I nut I lose so much drawing drive lmao

What happened to this general?

>>6705642
Dunno about the rest but I'm grinding fundies

>>6705642
It's over

Gonna post some work I’m doing for an animation.

>>6705676
Nice

>>6705642
They’re all in the OC thread trying to bait the painting anon into drawing their generic anime boy ocs. They’ll be back soon, dw

>>6705642
just let it die

At least post the discord.

>>6705777
If only you knew how good it felt anon, if only you knew

Notice how all the fujoshi drew their own OC's and made absolutely sure not to draw anyone else's work. They raped the OC thread for themselves and didn't bother to draw for anyone else but themselves. And they mention that women artists are better than men. Yeah, right.
>>6705777
Who do you think led them there? Painting fujo drew her own OC on computer before on the thread prior and then finished her own work when she revealed that she hated drawing on computer. It's all a scam, don't fall for it.

>>6705777
>doing what the thread is made for
>baiting
>>6706879
speak english holy shit. the fuck are you saying

>>6706881
>Speak English, holy shit. What the fuck are you even typing?
There you go, I fixed your own grammar for you. :)
>your face when you saw that I wrote the truth
>pic related

>>6706883
anon seriously what's with all the seething

>>6706891
I hate those who can draw better than me

>>6706879
Actually agree with you. It's the same circle filling each other's requests. hell, I'm pretty sure I've seen them do multiple fills of each other's OCs. The threads have been pretty barren of non-repeats recently.

>>6706879
>>6706902
>Notice how all the fujoshi drew their own OC's and made absolutely sure not to draw anyone else's work.
Pretty based ngl, you see the fujos literally made the oc threads what they are and you would know this if you weren't a literal newfag. noone is owed anything in the oc threads and that how its always been. If you wanted deliveries you should've drew characters that appealed to fujos. Now go cry about your skill issue in the oc thread.

>>6705777
>>6706879
>>6706883
>>6706892

>>6706908
by that logic, why don't they just dm each other and complete the art trades on their discords/twitter/etc?

>>6706914
You can't flex in private

>>6706883
>>6706892
That's a lot of hate right there mate

>>6706911
Kek

>>6706914
It’s more fun/beneficial to post in public. That’s why we’re all here… You’re getting something out of this format, right?

kek what is going on in this thread nonnas?

Anyways, wip lineart, I still need to clean up and fix a lot of things like that stupid crotch because he looks dickless. any crits would be appreciated.

>>6705676

v nice butt!

>>6706879
>>6706902
>>6706914
You do realize most of them have done fills of other people too right? From low beg to int characters. What's with all the salt?

>>6706879
Anon if you want a fujo fill so bad just draw, I'm sure you'll get a return even complete begs have gotten them like >>6706997 said

>>6706986
Looking sexy. But his left hand (our right) is messed up. A bulge would also help. Nothing big but just a lil something to show there’s something there. Who is this?

I love drama

>>6707189
you also love not drawing

>>6707189
>>6707227
Now kiss

>>6699973
Ty anon c: love your stuff

>>6707227
I'm specifically doing character studies on guys bc I haven't drawn any in like 4 months. But also waiting to post bc there is little engagement in these threads beyond dramafagging.

>>6707309
Be the change you want to see, post your boys anon!

>>6707324
Like I said, waiting for things to improve. If they ever do.... is the discord any better?

>>6707334
I mean the threads aren't gonna get better if no one posts art

>>6707337
>>6707309
I am cooking, anons... I am cooking...

>>6706891
No one's seething, I'm just telling the truth.
>>6706902
It's obvious if you know what to look for. See how the OC thread is virtually quiet and actual people are posting their OC's rather than these fujos shitting up the thread?
>>6706908
Don't need any, I can fill any of those when I want. I'm just pointing out a truth. Nothing more.
>>6706997
Just making an observation and calling it out.

>>6706911
>being better
sensible kek

>>6707384
>>6707388
Yeah yeah post your cute boys now

>>6707384

>>6707395
I don't understand complaining about no deliveries because that's a problem you can fix very easily by yourself. Just draw. Draw a fill for someone and they'll return it. Just draw.

>asg draws while cbsg melties

Something simple for the thread
I have a certain type of man I like to draw

>>6706986

Probably not the reference type you're looking for now that I think about it(3dpd).
>>>32274090

>>6708750
Just noting the basic taste and I find it funny how widespread the tumble sexyman phenomenon is.

>>6709393
I'm actually retarded, can someone explain how people can render over sketches like this?

>>6709494
Lay colours down under the sketch, merge the sketch to the colour layer, start painting. Alternatively paint directly onto the sketch and either be confident in your painting skills or use a low opacity brush and build up

>>6709589
Tbh you gotta be kinda skilled to go over sketches like that

>>6709494
This person is trying to mess up your drawing by giving you the wrong answer >>6709589
This is how you do it. Take your sketch layer, make it the top most layer in your Layers menu, and make your sketch layer a MULTIPLY layer. Leave its opacity and fill at 100%.
Work with as many layers as you need to then color your work. This artwork here >>6709393 is using four or five at least. It has a base flat color layer (the light red) shadows (the darker red and some shadows on the face) another shadow layer for the "rendering' effect (probably just control+J, pasting a new shadow layer on top of the old shadow layer) and a highlight layer for all the shiny bits.
If you work from top to bottom, making your sketch layer MULTIPLY, you can stack your colors, shadows and highlights underneath with their appropriate layer properties (Sketch Layer= Multiply, Flats=normal, Shadows=Multiply, Highlights=Screen or Color Overlay). It's up to you how you want to rearrange how you work.
It upsets me when they don't give people the right information, deliberately misinforming others. We're not all like that. Hope this helps and good luck. <3

>>6709807
Neither of those anons, but just because you don't work like that doesn't mean that >>6709589 is wrong.
>It upsets me when they don't give people the right information, deliberately misinforming others. We're not all like that. Hope this helps and good luck. <3
You are assuming things and being overly catty for no reason, which is likely why /cbsg/ has such a bad rep.

>>6709813
Or you could have answered, "Hey, you know what, that's actually true. Merging a sketch layer with their flat colors will make it more difficult for them to color." But noooo, the first words you vomited out of your brain were:
>But just because you don't work like that doesn't mean that XXX is wrong...
Had you paid attention to what the anon was asking for as far as rendering over sketches, you would have given them the right answer, too. But you didn't. So don't rope me in the rest of you. This thread gets a bad rap that's rightfully deserved.
Next time, try to help. Okay? <3

>>6709807
>>6709828
none of these anon, and I understand that rendering isn't easy but there is really no wrong way to color an image. Some artists just tend to paint over their sketches rather than use multiple layers to achieve the effects they desire, while others start in greyscale and colorized the overay/multiply layers. This a drawing I did that was one layer merged with a sketch like >>6709589 suggested. You should post yours since you seem to be adamant about the topic.

>>6709826
Your art is ugly and we wish you would leave already, schizo.

>>6709840
I haven't posted since 2022, meds.

>>6709841
You got mad a couple threads ago when nobody responded to your ugly art and started flinging shit about it. Leave.

>>6709838
God I kneel to one layer chads, I don't even render that much but still end with 50 layers on every piece.
On a related note how man copies do you guys end up with per drawing. I always end up having at least three previous drafts to fall back on.

>>6709843
I like the art

>>6709843
? Lol I haven't because I've barely drawn at all l, and what I have made wasn't cute boys. Weak bait and yet...

>>6709843
>>6709849

>>6707232

>>6709859
I am drawing. I posted a drawing. ?

>>6709845
I'm still a super paintlet so working on one layer is pretty much an exercise in pure suffering however i tend to keep 3-5 rollbacks and the original sketch linear( incase I get filtered) and paint using layers to cope lol. What i found that works for me is keeping the linear separate and painting (keeping the bg characters forground seperate as well) then eventually turning the layer off the linear/ merging to finish it. best of both words because it gives the freedom to paint toogle through 50 layers to edit things.

Bruh, lel.
why not Just ask me?
Here's a gif process. Sometimes I'll do a solid full sketch (if I have a certain vision) before adding color, other times, I just start a doodle (like here) and just add on as I vibe it.

Current WIP!

>>6709826
Pretty! I like your use of shapes and colors, very fun to look at!

>>6710137
nta but damn, this looks awesome from start to finish
Thanks for sharing!

>>6710137
But what are the layers? Just normal?

>>6710120
The blonde one obv. He's being held by the waist, a sign of pushed down.

>>6710215
Everything is normal, except for in frame 3, I have multiply on when I throw shadows on and one gradient layer, that I like to add on, for color correction/balance before I just paint over.
Having too many layers is just a hassle. So I usually just have the sketch, flats, shadows, merge them and then paint over the whole thing. Maybe I'll keep the sketch in it's separate locked layer, but only because I like to see the progress from where I stated to where it ended.

Rough sketch, I know his pelvis/hips needs some troubleshooting so I'm gonna find a reference to work off of. He's soft, has a bit of plump belly. I'm indecisive on the background and his clothing at the moment, although I'll probably sketch a separate nude version.

Third attempt at drawing in almost ten years. I still have a lot to work on before I'm even at my old skill level, let alone surpassing it, but I'm fairly happy about how this turned out besides pussying out on drawing his hands.

>>6705676
Really good taper and butt there.

>>6703985
The pose is good, I like the muscles stretching and all that. But I also admire the expression, those are so hard to get right.

>>6714135
reposting in case it helps:
This is how I would do it. Base colors on one layer, multiple shades (lighter shades for subtle forms, darker shades for crevices or within cast shadows) for the shadows on a multiply layer. The shading looks more stylized than trying to follow a light source so I decide where to place shadows based on what forms I want to add definition to. Use a soft eraser to soften some of the shadows, then use a blender to soften/blend out others. I'd use the soft eraser on shadows for narrow forms like the neck muscles or clothing wrinkles to retain clean edges, then a blender for wider/rounder forms like the pecs or other flatter muscles. Cast shadows keep their hard edges. I did a shitty job here but just try harder than I did lol

Jeg har aldri tegna en fiolin før, men jeg så på et referansebilde. De mest iøynefallende trekkene er de dekorative kantene og buene så det kan hjelpe og gjøre de mer markante, også endra jeg på perspektivet litt og gjorde at det ser mer ut som at han har fiolinen under haka. Håper det hjelper! Den letteste måten å fikse frustrasjonen er nok å finne et bilde av en fiolin i akkurat den posisjonen du trenger og så kopiere det bildet.

>Jeg vet ikke engang om svensker forstår norsk like godt som nordmenn forstår svensk.
Varierear från person till person, personligen tog mig några minuter att läsa igenom, jag skämms. Hade tänkt åka till Norge nu i sommar och teckna lite vackra landskap, några platser du rekomenderar? :D

>>6714929
Whta is your approach with this stuff? As in, how do you transition between line drawing and coloring? I think I know your previous work and the painting is very immaculate

>>6714932
>Whta is your approach with this stuff?
kinda, just do it?
having fun.
It's like having a adventure on paper, I know it sound gay, but honestly, that's how I feel. It's like your given a challenge and now you have to overcome it and figure it out.
>how do you transition between line drawing and coloring
Honestly I mostly play around with each drawing and see what happens.
ah, one thing that's important, I would say to keep in mind are values and contrasts. Anyone can put flats down, the tricky part (also the most fun) is the shadows, because now you have to think where light comes from and how it bounces around, also how the environments colors reflects on the subject.
I also mention contrast, that is too keep the image from getting muddy, I'd rather have things more blocked in/sharper compare to blending everything too much, making it all too muddy.

When having a more loose sketch, I feel more freedom in '''ruining it''' if you know what I mean, like, ''damn this sketch is shit'', but that's fine cuz I'm gonna paint over it anyway. When I sketch thing, it's more about giving me an idea or feeling how and where I want to put stuff, the end result may look very different from the initial sketch. Just don't put too much pressure on yourself, that it has to be perfect from the get go, have fun and see where it takes you, follow your gut instinct.

>>6714433
>violin
Can't take credit for that one specifically, it was my friendly Norwegian neighbor who dabbed on me some wisdom.
This, however is my most recent rendition of my attempt at a violin.
>>6714142
>Third attempt at drawing in almost ten years
Solid.
Pretty impressive for not lifting a pen in ten years, GG. Start lifting and get those gains.

How do you guys go about stylized realism? Pic related, I want viewers to recognize it's Kurapika. I think his scarlet eyes would help a lot in terms of recognition, but I think the shape of his eyes needs some adjustment.

>>6714990
Thanks for the tips. Did you use Hogarth when learning anatomy? It’s reminding me of him.

>>6715566
This is complicated. I’d say you just have to lean in towards stylization more than realism. Things like that crease by the nose just most likely won’t work since the feature is recognizably not on the anime version. There’s also bits like where you have him a significantly larger nose than the original version. Yes, the original nose is basically just a line, but there is a greater difference between a small line and a regular nose, and a small line and a smaller nose.

>>6715566
>>6715837
>that crease by the nose just most likely won’t work
I agree. You have to give up on that detail bro. You add it every time and it makes the faces look worse. Realistic anime doesn't usually add more realistic facial features it just renders the features already there in more detail.

>>6715837
>>6715909
>>6716609
Thanks for the advice, guys. Pulled a double shift last night so wasn't able to work on the painting at all yesterday.
>Realistic anime doesn't usually add more realistic facial features it just renders the features already there in more detail.
You're right, and that's an idea I still have to think about. I think the problem is that I'm currently troubleshooting my current style. I've been studying Rubens, Jacob Jordaens, and Bouguereau without fully understanding why they make the choices they do. So it's all very new to me and still requires some effort. I fell in love with how they made portraits with their color choices and flesh tones, as well as their anatomical detail to the head (i.e. details that anime heads would ignore). However, just looking at some of Rubens' portraits - it's easy to see that while he still painted skin creases and folds that Boogs would otherwise remove - he still painted them in a flattering, yet realistic manner. That's at least the impression that I get. Basically my style is becoming less and less "anime" as I move closer and closer towards my favorite fine artists and their tastes.

well the full background makes your thumbnail looks nice! if you're unsatisfied with your trees then maybe you can do separate studies for it

>>6706879
most of fujo art in this general is so ugly and too westoid to my weeb eyes

>>6717655
It's coming along nicely if you ask me the colors and details are eye catching though there's somethings about the lack of depth in this image/ too low horizon lines that makes the two guys look like literal giants walking in a forest.

>>6718091
I love weeb shit but westoid art is my first love. Well drawn personal style > western artist poorly emulating anime

>>6718104
East vs west in general doesn't matter, as long as is looks good I can enjoy it regardless of whatever influences the art has. This is why /cbsg/ is a good thread, it's a melting pot of cute moids regardless of style.

Seeing the different styles is my favorite thing about these threads

Always wanted to do one of these heart-hands poses
I wanted to have on-the-shoulder hand be touching the left guy's cheek instead but I couldn't get the pose to work

>>6719216
Very cute expressions so far!
You could probably finagle it but you'd have to rotate the torsos. As it is I think their shoulders would be clipping into each other for their faces to squish so much. Try to pose it with some 3d models.

random sketch
i'm really bad at design and i just cant seem to get better at it

>>6719727
It's not bad it just needs some character specific details. Any weapons or skills the character uses? Color would help too.

>>6719753
i colored it but i think i miss adding trinkets and decorations.
maybe i should add rings, earings, amulets

I don’t really draw men but I’m trying to get better at it, how does this look so far?

>>6719882
Colouring it helps. If he is supposed to be dressed in finer clothes detailing like some patterns or lace.
Also think about things like; Does he need to carry anything in a day? How does he do that, in his hands or a bag or a scabbard? Would he need money or protection or tools of any sort? Additionally looking at historical fashion and what they did can be inspirational to include things that make the design more interesting.

>>6719916
Not bad for someone who doesn't draw dudes, I like how you did the muscle. The anatomy could use some tweaking, the legs are too long, neck is too short, head looks a little flat and torso is a bit short. Making the calves the longer half of the leg is also usually a stylization detail used on girls. I would move the knee down after shortening the legs.

>>6719916
>>6719931
Does this look better? I think I’ve got a good grasp on the upper body but the legs are still throwing me off

Why aren't you fags doing anything with your art? You could be trying to get commissions, pander to coomers and draw a FOTM, or otherwise post on an account. Why are you in this cesspit of all places posting actually decent art?

>>6720963
I do both
here is for fun art

>>6720966
So you hate your other art that you post?

>>6720966
Don't bother talking to schizos. They don't argue in good faith.

Don't bother engaging with the grassless nodraws orbiting /cbsg/.

>>6720982
>he does this instead of drawing
What the fuck lmao. Really makes you think, anyway back to drawing and ignoring schizos then.

>>6720978
hehe gomen
well I do be having fun here

>>6720997
It's okay I thought it was a genuine attempt at a discussion at first too. Until the hmmm you must hate your art then smugpost.

>>6703603
God, this been an exhausting week. Some late night sketching because I'm sleep deprived.

>>6715781
Nope, self thought. Like the majority of artist on this board (I believe) started out as kids, by drawing your favorite cartoon/anime character and from there you just build on your visual gallery by learning new things by each drawing, you drew in a desperate attempt not to fall asleep during lessons in school. I have skimmed through Hogarth and I did like the stuff I saw, even if I feel some of it may be a bit stiff and over exaggerated, if I was a complete novice, I'd definitely use it, prefer Bridgman, would have definitely gone through those studies religiously as a kid if I knew about those books.
>>6715943
These looks very nice! Keep up the good work!
>>6717655
I Absolutely love to see a drawing evolve and transform, it's been fun seeing your steps. I think the trees look okay you could try refine some of it a little bit, if you feel it's bleeding into each other a little, but that's just me nitpicking. I also think the drawing could benefit if you make your two guys a bit darker/stronger in contrast to the bg.
>>6719201

I've been slowly inching through Burne Hogarth's Dynamic Wrinkles for how to better draw wrinkles-- and it's working!

But for this specifically >>672127 I used a pic of a fellow-anon's OC (picrel) whose boy I drew about a week ago as well as a reference pic that another fellow-anon gave me, and it ended up clicking as I was troubleshooting why my wrinkles still weren't quite right.
Looking at them enough pretty much tied together what I read from Dynamic Wrinkles.

Definitely feels good to understand what I'm drawing!

If you’re going to draw manga style looking at those Korean/japanese fold/wrinkle twitter tutorial pics are better for learning imo.

>>6721323

I usually draw from real life refs most of the time-- seeing wrinkles in 2D style definitely helps to simplify though!

Good attempt at perspective, I know how hard they can be, also like how you drew his face. Small critique I'd point out is his left foot a tad bit too big.
>>6719216
Looks like a fun sketch so far, I think what your trying to convey looks pretty apparent, maybe just the demon on the right, it looks like he's pushing his face upward toward the viewer, so the top of his head is kinda messing with that perspective, taking a bit too much space if you know what I mean.
I'd love to see you post the complete version when done!

Clothes are the worst. Maybe draw loose fabrics on the legs, could be easier.

Genuinely curious, why do so many posters here like feminine men that can pass as girls? Is everyone here bi or something? Just strange how even in male-focused art people can't sexualize without infusing femininity.

>>6722156
Sexo sexo sexooooooooo

>>6720963
Genuinely asking but how can i into comms?
I would just like to dabble desu.

>>6722463
Because androgyny is the highest form of artistical expression. It's a call back to primordial human myths when we were ignorant of devilish desires and earthly shames. When we were closest to Creation itself.

>>6723365
I'm trying to understand, bitch

>>6723787
well now that twiiter is actually fucked, who knows.
>>6723871
then why does androgyny almost always translate to "boy/man that looks like a girl"?

>>6724250
>>6724253
Doesn't matter. Sorry to regale you with tales of old but many threads have been lost to cringe arguments over feminine dudes and preferences. I don't mean to brush off your curiosity, but maybe ask somewhere else. The short answer is everyone everyone likes pretty things.

>>6719916
>>6720088
Do you regularly flip your drawing? It may help with keeping the anatomy in check, feel like the lower part, his legs is not centered under his torso, like they are being pushed to the side, is what sticks out most to me. Still a good attempt for someone who don't draw dudes.
>>6720454
Beautiful!
>>6721274
Nice, just as the other anon mention, really like how you did his jacket, really feeling the form.

I think you're making great progress anon! Might I suggest a painting exercise without the use of an opacity or blending? Any hard brush will do, I just think it'll help you break down those clothing folds. You've got a good start going on, (especially around the pockets and mid torso) but things get a little lost around the collar and arms. Here's a quick paintover of what I mean.

Hey buddy, I think you've got the wrong thread, /lsg/ is two blocks down

is the anatomy of the arm correct?

>>6728216
no. deltoids go almost half way down the arm to connec at bone.much larger and not one tiny piece on the shoulder. the upper arm looks ridiculous as well. what arm has fucking straigh tline down the middle of 2 fat tubes. theres more muscles than that involved and the angle and orientation dont look like that when straightened out. that arm doesnt even look like it goes on that body either. just look at its proportions relative the head or how the arm with the ball looks like fucking the tiny armed freak from scary movie in comparison.

>>6728232
Fucking lost at the last sentence. That's some constructive criticism if I've ever seen it.

Exactly, a general isn't owned by any one person, so no problem if it's what the majority want. Voting on it is what's most fair. We only have 3 artists here who shotapost and it's inconsequential to them too since lsg is available. It'll be fine.

>>6729428
>a general isn't owned by anybody
>so get the fuck out
>because I say so

shotanigger spotted

>>6729429
voting doesn't work over the internet. You already know that. The rules are already there, if you don't like shota, don't enter. Pic relate is you´

>>6729438
These threads have always been majority not shota though. I wouldn't really count it as a shota place. And it doesn't matter when /lsg/ exists. That literally is the shota place. It's not a big deal, there's still somewhere arguably better to post shota works.

>>6729441
>These threads have always been majority not shota though
yes because it's a thread for all the gay shit. Shota is just part of it
> I wouldn't really count it as a shota place.
Nobody is saying this
>And it doesn't matter when /lsg/ exists. That literally is the shota place.
No, it's the same as /cbsg/. Shota is just a part of /lsg/

>>6729443
Eh yeah I agree with you on the last part technically yes, but ignoring technical meanings, it's personal tastes we're discussing here. If op goes by majority rule, I think the rules are getting edited next thread.
And again not much is lost when
-we don't get many shotaposts in the first place
-it's not like those artists are getting ran from ic generals /asg/ and /lsg/ are fine with it

>>6729456
We are not discussing tastes, we are discussing what this thread is about .

>>6725560
Seething :)

Post your OCs so I can get some points for art fight

>>6729368
Kek it really is a handful of posters who are mad at the change. Besides /cbsg/ has always spoke out against shota posters since as long as this general has been around. Suprised it's been this long for someone to want to do something about it

>>6729368
Literally there’s so few of them and two of them just draw the same picture over and over again I don’t think the general is going to change much if we exclude them.
>>6729428
If any significant portion of the general cared for shota, why isn’t there more of it being posted?

>>6729597
why do you care about shota is nobody is posting shota then? Not the sharpest tool in the shed are we?

>>6729601
Bait or mentally retarded? Makes sense to ban something that’s rarely posted and poorly received when it i posted. Let’s any current of future shota posts know this isn’t the place for them so we don’t get the usual thread derailment when they do post.

>>6729602
>nobody post shota anyways
>then why do you care
>they derail threads
>they don't post but they derail thread somehow
the only one here derailing the thread is you. Kill yourself, piece of shit moron

>>6729642
>thread at bump
>you keep replying
If I’m detailing how are you not? It’s not my fault you’re too retarded to comprehend the incredibly simple concept everyone else seems to be able to grasp but you and your (limited) ilk. Very clearly stated in my original post that there are shota posters, just not a lot, and that’s why you’re getting out voted. No one wants you here. Whenever shota gets posted it causes drama in the thread, that happening at all is enough reason to ban it. Really that simple. Unpopular retarded content getting banned makes sense? Idk what to tell. Enjoy your pedo containment thread though, kek.

>>6729648

What's wrong with going to /lsg/ anyways, outside of the thread derailment here and their you guys can draw your shota coom in peace?

>>6729886
You love not drawing

/cbsg/ wasn't even made with shota in mind, just drawing attractive male characters. Shotafags only migrate here because lolibegs didn't like that shotafags drew better than the majority of them so keep fighting here until they only posted here. These days lolifags and Shotafags get along with there general so nothing of value is lost here.

>>6729925
don't ever post here again

I think that anon meant shota specifically. Shota lost it's over. Pack it up.

There's just not enough artists for that, cbsg is already one of the slower generals as it is.

>>6730012

>>6729955
> Kneecaped potential shot posters from the start
Exactly, and people have expressed dislike for it being posted here from the beginning. Shota posters always had to abide by stricter rules more than anyone else. Even this general had 2 discords because the original one allowed shota and the people didnt want to associate with them. By going to /lsg/ they can post all the lewds they want in peace. It's literally a win-win.

>>6730012
