Post Pixiv Quote
Hey folks.I couldn't find a good thread about Pixiv, so I thought someone should get one started.

What is Pixiv?
A simple way to describe it is "a Japanese DeviantArt". It is a social art network where artists can post their new pieces, try new things, interact and collaborate. Unlike DeviantArt rules are based on Japanese law, so loli and shota art is allowed.
Main page: hxxp://www.pixiv.net

Why should I care?
Depending on how long you've been on the internet, you might remember Pixiv as this "obscure undecipherable Japanese site". Things have changed a lot since then.
First, there is an English version now. You can navigate the whole site knowing little or no Japanese at all.
Second, apparently sometime in this decade the Japanese have finally realized that the Internet is a thing. That means there has been a rush to put more content online, to make things more accessible. This has made many loli doujin artists establish a presence online, rather than being hermits until Comiket comes around. Given the relaxed rules lots of western loli artists are opening accounts as well.
Third, the site is now linked to Comiket in certain ways. I you have the time and patience to figure it out you can get access to catalogs and some Comiket exclusive stuff.
Finally, you can find great new loli artists, as well as new art by your favorite doujin artists that are not published anywhere else. Previews of future comics and exclusive animations are among the cool things you can find.

How do I start?
There is not much to it anymore. Create an account, start browsing, follow some artists you like and off you go.

Whoa, I can befriend artists like on Facebook?
Technically speaking you can, but I'm not sure why you would do that or why they would accept the invitation. The best option is to just follow artists you like and leave it at that.
Following them requires no confirmation, and the artist is immediately added to your feed.

Feed?
Yes, like Facebook and some other social sites there is a feed consisting of updates on people you follow. When they post something new, comment on something, bookmark something or follow someone else, it will be there.

Do I have to be social?
Not at all. Following has no effect on anyone (apart from people knowing how many perverts are stalking them) and you don't have to interact with anyone if you don't want to. Of course, if you want and know enough Japanese you can leave comments on drawings you like.

The site is so big, where do I start?
A good way is to search for something you'd like using a tag, but unfortunately those are mostly in Japanese. You can also search for artists you know, but for some reason some use different names on Pixiv.
To help you with that I have attached a list of some more "famous" loli artists, as well as some recommendations. I have not included shota in the list, but there is a lot of it if you go after it.
The list is in no way comprehensive, and I might have made some mistakes. Let me know if you find anything.

Here are some Japanese tags to get you started:

Sample search with the Japanese loli tag: hxxp://www.pixiv.net/search.php?s_mode=s_tag&r18=1&word=%E3%83%AD%E3%83%AA&abt=y
Sample search with teh Japanese pedo tag: hxxp://www.pixiv.net/search.php?s_mode=s_tag_full&word=%E3%83%9A%E3%83%89
Sample search with the Japanese little girl tag: hxxp://www.pixiv.net/search.php?s_mode=s_tag_full&word=%E5%B9%BC%E5%A5%B3

Anything else I should know?
Yes. Pixiv absolutely takes over all your free time if you let it. If you follow any artist, it will not hesitate in suggesting a dozen more artists you might like. And then if you follow any of them you get a dozen more. And so on and so on. It also suggests things you might like based on what you are looking at the moment, so odds are you are never going to run out of stuff to see.

Have fun!

Japanese DA?

I don't think so.
The stupid DA has many stupid restrictions, and in pixiv you have freedom to post what do you want. Smile

Bonus Bonus tip - If you've searched for pics using the tag function and you find a pic you like, you'll see a number underneath the pic (eg "24"). That is the number of Pixiv members who have faved that pic. Click on the number and you'll get a list of eveyone who has faved it allowing you to look at all their pics too Smile

See attached pic for example Smile

Well not according to the rules of the site, the difference is they are not run by sjw and the rules are not as harshly enforced.

Images displaying genitalia.
Images displaying foreign objects in genitalia.
Images containing needlessly warped or distorted depictions of sex.

Images promoting needlessly extreme ideas.
Images glorifying or excessively fostering antisocial conduct.
Images with an unfavorable depiction of any ethnicity, belief, occupation, sex or religion.

These may be there just to appease foreign audiences and/or absolve them of responsibility for allowing potentially illegal content.
Then again, Japanese law is very selectively enforced and this kind of stuff shouldn't be a problem as long as no one starts pestering people.

Even then, they wouldn't really ban stuff, they can't afford to alienate artists and risk losing their connection with Comiket.
Worse case scenario they'd pretend to do something about it, remove the English version of the site and restrict it to Japanese IP addresses only.

You may well be right.

Pixiv now allows tags in English. My only complaint about the site is that it is very difficult to copy the Japanese character text to allow you to copy the text over to translate.google.com so you can get the gist of what the artist is saying about the artworks.

I have discovered that many of the artists can read and write English, so don't be afraid to comment.
