"Danbooru works on an approver system. At least one approver must like the image enough to approve it."

I already know this, but what exactly stands out that makes this pic not suitable for approval is the question?

on the child post, someone says it's the anatomy of the back, but that's literally the standard anatomy for anyone who's worked out all their life, their back will be well-defined and will pop out a little because of the well-trained muscles.

Define 'pop up a little' because in this picture she looks like she have kyphosis.
No, those back muscles are impossible by standard anatomy; look at the waist part of the torso and where it connects to the upper trunk. Even with perspective effect that's almost 45-60 degrees angle.

I'm looking and what I see is a well-toned body of a person who lives in a fantasy world where she has the power and boxing skills to knock out men 3 times her size, who's grown up all her life in a multi-chemical-laced dystopian undercity, and who survived 10 odd years in a maximum security prison complex that's filled with hardened criminals of all sizes.

I think anybody who's survived all of that should most definitely have a body this built, I'd guess the artist has tried to depict a more accurate body by taking all of that into account.

Spine is not muscle. You can work out all you want, but you aren't going to get a spine bent like a shrimp tail without hospitalization

I guess this hasn't been explained anywhere already, but an approver's job is to approve art they like. Not art that meets some sort of objective quality standard, just art that they want to approve, art that they personally feel belongs on danbooru. Technically, an approver doesn't need any reason at all to not approve something, beyond "I don't feel like it." That's why the message for rejection is "did not like the post enough to approve it." No amount of "But I think it's good, what reason could you have for not approving it?" will change anything if no one wants to approve it.

Sometimes there's nothing outright "wrong" with an image, but it'll just go unapproved because it didn't appeal to anyone.

I honestly don't see how her back is bent that much out of shape, I think it's a matter of angling, perhaps the artist focused too much on trying to make the back pop out so much that they forgot to focus on the anatomy of the back and where the back begins and ends from such an angle.

it was explained in Discord months ago, but thanks for the effort.

So, you don't see how it's bent out of shape as you describe how it's completely bent out of shape...
okay

what I did is try to see it from your perspective and give a description based on how you all see it in order to try and make sense of how such an excellent piece isn't approved, what I said at the beginning was meant to be an indication that I don't see what you see.

but regardless, it's been approved, so I rest my case.
