Why are comics and posters excluded as a visual medium? I get not wanting to shit things up with memes, but your example under comics conveys the entirety of its message nonverbally, and has cultural and historic significance.

Regardless of the message, it is not suitable content for v/pics. It does not belong in v/pics. Plain and simple.

v/pics is for photographs of people, places, things, not photographs of other media (newspapers, etc)

I disagree, as does rule #3 of the sub. Plain and simple.

Edit: your example under screenshots is visually pretty cool too.

[–] Wahaha 1 point 1 point (+2|-1) ago 

Why call it pics and not photographs, then? Doesn't make sense.

[–] BareBackOpSec [S] 4 points 3 points (+7|-4) ago 

It was modeled after r/pics.

The rules are pretty much the same there: https://new.reddit.com/r/pics/wiki/index

What is r/pics?

Pics is a place to share all kinds of photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for ALL images, e.g. we are not for comics, maps, screenshots, etc.

Doesn't change that the name doesn't make sense for the content you expect. Just go over to https://voat.co/v/photographs and be happy.

So, you just carry over the stupidity of one place to another? It should be called photographs... on both sites. Doing it stupidly because it was done stupidly elsewhere is a perfectly fucking faggoty reddit-tier thing to do. And that's what we fucking hate here. Out of all the things voat hates, what we hate most is fucking faggoty reddit-tier bullshit.

And then on top of it all you post a reddit link... and not the nice and easy old.link... nope! You post the fucking new.link, like a true fucking faggot.

Fuck off, faggot. And enjoy all the nice new 'pics' in your stupid little reddit-tier verse.

Pictures of paintings & murals are fine. This was a recent painting on r/pics.

I am surprised the reddit mods allowed this: https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/k6l0j7/i_combined_some_of_my_drawings_from_the_last_12/

Probably because muh rainbow.

So wait, you're trying to turn Voat into *eddit? Perhaps v/pics is not for you to critique.

[–] capnflummox 1 point -1 points (+0|-1) ago 

I don't want to be a voatrocker here, but maybe the verse should be called v/photographs ?? No?

[–] BareBackOpSec [S] 2 points 2 points (+4|-2) ago 

Voat started as a reddit clone, so many of the default system subs share the same name as on reddit. r/pics has pretty much the same content restrictions.

[–] capnflummox 2 points -1 points (+1|-2) ago 

Nope. No it didn't.

Go back to your safe reddit space, faggot. We don't need you here. Goodbye.

[–] BareBackOpSec [S] 2 points 2 points (+4|-2) ago 

That would not be suitable content because the emphasis is on the text.

[–] auto_turret 0 points 1 point (+1|-0) ago 

And just who the hell do you think you are? We shall post whatever the hell we want to post. You little maggot. Back to reddit you go.
