And this doesn't look particularly "anime-style" to me.
So (not likely to happen since his stuff isn't here anymore) say littleshrimp drew this. It wouldn't look like this, but it would be a drawing of a western character by a western artist. Would that still be off-topic?
I can understand marking it so it goes through the mod queue, but really, don't go on about "art Western character" (as you so eloquently put it) when you have art of characters from Valve games knocking about the place (yes, I mention Valve a lot, but it's the only Western-based game company that springs immediately to mind)

"There's other stuff here that breaks the rules too, so this should be left in" is not now, nor has it ever been, a valid argument, and it's a line that the Danbooru brass are tired of hearing.
Right, nice to see that you're being logically self-consistent.
I've read that stuff, I guess I just don't get why Disney is off-topic (or the artist) but stuff like TF2, Portal or Scott Pilgrim aren't. Hell, there's even Asterix stuff here. But, I'm rambling.
It just seems a little odd is all, all I'd like is an explanation of how this picture is off-topic.

It's not off-topic. There's no ban for Western characters as long as they are well-drawn in anime style, and IMHO this picture qualified.
But sgcdonmai has his own opinion and he has the right to flag it. Just be patient and wait for possible re-approval instead of starting a shitstorm everytime.

As I said, I've no qualms with marking it for moderation so it goes through the queue. I have problems when people don't clearly explain their motives (eg the ever-present "ToU" excuse, although I've not seen that recently)
