"Real" people?

I'm just curious on the rules of uploading images of real people.

Do they have to be related to anime? Do they have to be Asian? If they are neither but the picture is tasteful, will it still be deleted?

In general, you shouldn't. Use http://behoimi.org for pictures of real people.

Scowl.

Just to build on what albert said, I won't approve any photos of real people, personally. And I've deleted a large number of older ones as they get bumped in comments and such. There are many other sites for photos of women.

An interesting question is uploading anime-style pictures based on real people, like mako-hime and kako-hime. I uploaded a few safe pics of each, but I probably wouldn't upload any explicit pictures, of them, and I'd think long and hard about uploading questionable ones.

The last thing we want to do is to piss the Imperial Household Authority off.

No, it's not.

Got it. Thanks for the clear up.

You lost me.

He's joking[?] about the anime-style "fanart" of the Japanese imperial princesses and how it might make the JHA angry.

So, if we find real women, we can flag it for deletion?

Our lord and saviour albert demodded me for being lazy so I can't delete your 3D women anymore. Don't make me have to ask someone else to do it.

You got your 3D in my danbooru! You got your danbooru in my 3D!

I'm not familiar with this. When did it happen?

Wikipedia said:
Princess Mako has been something of an internet idol since 2004, when images of her in sailor fuku appeared on television. An image repository was set up, and a video featuring fanart of Princess Mako (with background music by IOSYS) was uploaded onto the popular video sharing website Nico Nico Douga, attracting over 340,000 views and 86,000 comments. The Imperial Household Agency, responding to a request for comment, stated that they are not sure how they should handle this phenomenon, since they see no signs of slander or insults against the imperial family.

So, real life girls cosplaying isn't allowed then?

Seems hit or miss. Most cosplay is not good so you're better off not uploading it. Some seems get to approved, though (but not by me).

I'm fine with cosplay personally, and will approve it if it's good. However, off-topic photos get a quick axe from me.
