Maybe I am the only one in that case but just wanted to say: I subscribed to this because it was filled with chill images that helped project in imaginary places. I hope this does not become a WitchWaifu board.
If the point of the image is just to show a sexy girly, maybe this is not the most interesting place to post it in?
Look at it like this. How do you think posters would react if you left this comment on every “offending” post taking the community in a direction you don’t like?
The only difference in such a scenario would be volume. If saying something loudly would be badly received, then saying it quietly isn’t much better.
You know that’s a pattern I already observed, on reddit, on /r/cyberpunk. People were posting pictures of cyberpunk cityscape, and scene, and character, both male and female, then more female character, then less and less dressed, until it became the majority of the content. Several users enjoyed it, a lot did not. In the end the discussion resulted in the creation of /r/cyberbooty and everyone was happy.
The difference there is size. Once lemmy is big enough that splitting communities off without it simply killing one or the other is possible, this will be the correct course of action.
In this case, the community you are complaining in doesn’t have enough activity for complaints like the ones on reddit, to make sense.
On Reddit, a couple people trying to push the style of content in a new direction in order to salvage a community by posting themselves, would drown in the sea of content.
On Lemmy, you can become the main contributor of a community overnight.
On Reddit, you can remove 90% of content in a sub and still have the remaining 10% be more content than any one person can consume.
Telling someone off when they are being an incorteous couth is not mutually exclusive with having a thick skin. Learning not to let assholes affect you, doesn’t have to mean you start ignoring rudeness when you encounter it.
The opposite. To ignore is to forgive and even accept such behavior. If you have the fortitude to withstand it, and wit to retort it, it makes you the MOST suitable to tackle it.
You have called a piece of art I like “pointless” and at my pointing out the insensitivity of doing so, you have chosen to double down by claiming your opinion is fact.
Would you care to attempt to explain how your behavior is not a “dick move” dripping in passive aggression? Or would you like to own this playground behaviour by saying something along the lines of “yeah, I’m being mean on purpose!”.
As for your complaints, the applicable community rules are as follows:
Shared artwork must contain a witch or witch adjacent character
There is no mention of activity, background, or “aTmoSPhErE”, me and 42+ other people liked it. I don’t think you can claim your statements about a lack of merit are anything like “FaCt”.
Get over it. If you can’t, take a deep breath, and look within.
We disagree, I explain why. I don’t think I am being insensitive, my opinion is as valid as yours, I explain it. You are free to disagree. I don’t see where assholishness comes into play.
So you would claim it is a fact that a character alone cannot have something like “atmosphere”?
Your initial comment is already rude, as you’re effectively complaining that I posted the “wrong” thing, on the first post to break 10 upvotes in months, in a near-dead community.
I find it more polite to explain the downvotes than just downvoting. And communities require discussion and disagreement. No one upvoted my opinion, I guess you were the one to downvote it, so there is no way to know who is more aligned with the majority. This is indeed the type of content I feel does not steer the group in the good direction and I will probably leave if it dominates.
Of course it is subjective, and saying that picture convey no atmosphere is just me being polite. The pose, the clothing, the lack of action, actually gives it an atmosphere: a pin-up/waifu atmosphere. This is not really what I am looking for here.

Well hopefully it would fix it.

On Lemmy, that’d simply kill most communities.
I’m not sure who you’re complaining to… The place barely has any activity, and this is the second image I’ve contributed in the last six months.
And I really don’t see how it wouldn’t fit. Or how you can come to the conclusion that it doesn’t have a point besides arousal.
This image literally does not contain anything beside a character, doing nothing in particular. It has no background, no action, no atmosphere.
Are you trying to insult my taste in art? Or are you just generally insensitive?
If you are insulted by factual statements, take a deep breath and look within.
