If you are an American artist/fan, change your pixiv account region! Because there's new censorship
Number 5. If your drawing has no 'educational/scientific/artistic value' it won't be allowed to exist. These new censorship are absolute nonsense pushed by credit card company and conservative politicians. Fucking bonkers
It's the same thing when Tumblr banned NSFW and they promised that 'artistic nudity' will still be 'allowed'. I hope every purist on the internet realized that when they whine over anime fan art they are repeating what conservative billionaires and politician are pushing:
The death of art

Mikagura Shoujo Tanteidan (“Mikagura Girl Detective Agency”) focuses on a trio of ladies who solve (seemingly) supernatural mysteries in 1920s Tokyo. It was directed by Hifumi Kono, and developed by Human, a company who was constantly pushing forward on what video games could do as a narrative. The agency is technically led by the brilliant but somewhat disheveled detective, Tokito Mikagura, but the real focus is on his trio of assistants: the cheerful Tomoe Kanase, the high class Shigeno Kumiyama, and the novelist Chizuru Higaki. The interactions between the heroines are the key to the game’s charm – interviews with the staff indicate that it was inspired by Japanese mystery novelist Edogawa Rampo mixed in with a manzai comedy routine, combined with the fact that one of the developers wanted to make a gal game.
it’s really important that you are a little bit in love with your friends btw. it’s crucial even
a lot of people seem confused by this post so i’ll clarify: this does not have to mean you’re romantically involved w your friends. you can love them very intensely but platonically. you can let the lines blur if you want. what matters is that you adore the ppl you choose to surround yourself with. the details of that aren’t so important as long as you and your friends are on the same page about it. hope this helps
