That's like saying "bad art doesn't exists on Pixiv" which is also not true. Go ahead and search up 東方 or even any of your other favorite art and you'll see it's not different from deviantart. Just because a majority of fanart that gets uploaded to danbooru from pixiv doesn't mean that's all where it comes from, but just simply that more uploaders are following pixiv artist instead of deviant art.

Right here. Pixiv is basically DeviantArt, but in Japanese. The reason we prefer to pull art from Pixiv and not DeviantArt is because this is an Anime-style-art hub, and Pixiv is an Anime-style-art source. DeviantArt has anime art on it, but also a lot of other kinds of art, like furry art, which for a long time was strictly banned on sight from Danbooru. Also, our tag parser works a lot better with Pixiv.
I'm also not saying OCs are necessarily bad, either, but this particular character... she's an older Cirno without the wings. It's fantastically drawn, but it's just as blatant a ripoff as the very things Blonic was a parody of.
Pretty much, on Deviantart, you'll find western art is ofcourse the majority since it's primarily an english site (yes it has translations but so does pixiv now too though). I actually did a search for Powergirl and Batgirl one time on both deviantart and pixiv, and well, you could probably guess which site gave me more results. ON the other hand, Pixiv basically gave me the "Animu" style of DC characters.
What're you talking about? We've had plenty of OCs on pixiv.
Pixiv is basically "dA, Japan Edition" after all. It just so happens that most OCs are done rather poorly or not as well known as mainstream fanart.
With the tags I tend to browse, I never saw OCs tagged with it. Original characters exist all the time, sure, but I've never seen any original characters tagged with Golden Sun or Megaman or Pokemon. Spritework in those styles, sure, but never a ton of OCs like I see over in dA. That's my angle on it, at least. I figured Pixiv had stricter tagging rules. But I guess that's what I get for assuming...
