Moving from Webtoon to Tapas after my content was reported! Feelin lonely! (also, anyone else gone through something similar and want to connect?)

Hello, welcome to Tapas! Damn that sucks about your comic being taken down Hope you have a better experience here

[TedGravesArt]

Oh yeah, Webtoon deleted my comic too! I show a man's butt in the first issue (shocking, I know)
I've considered reuploading with a dumb censorship bar over it, but there's a fair amount of blood and violence in the rest of my comic, and if they deleted me for a butt joke, I can't imagine they'd be chill with the rest of my content

[solomonrussell493]

That sucks. Hopefully you can get it back up without too much trouble.
I have not used Webtoon yet. It seems similat to Tapas but also quite different.

When you get a chance come on over and check out my comic strip about cute little mice.

righttttt... the reason it was taken down was so stupid that I figured I could probably email them and they'd put it back up. But then I was like... why bother going through that every time??

My comic is very tame compared to a lot of things I've seen, so hopefully all goes well <3333

[esmesn]

I am subbed to you!! :DD love the comic.

There's definitely more foot traffic on Webtoon, but Tapas is set up wayyy better in most ways, imo. I'm enjoying it despite everything!

[esmesn]

I had that same thought!!!! (for different elements, but yep) I did tons of research on what would be allowed on Webtoon, and I wasn't even worried about anything I had planned up until season 2, when it will get wayyy darker.

And then... webtoon switched up and took down ep. 16, halfway through season 1, the very first episode I put up with even a hint of the horror element I want to include... so at this point, why bother sticking with them !! x)

(your art is stunning, btw)

[MacchiaStella]

Webtoon can be so soft lmaoo. One of my chapter was taken down cause of this:

I was just showing the new cover smh

[esmesn]

RIGHT!! That's part of the reason why I wanted to make the move honestly, because there are tons of scenes like that one later on in the comic, and I don't wanna have to deal with that every time.

So weird for a platform famous for its romance comics. ://

[KennethLopezJr921]

Sorry to hear about that. I know someone that had plans about posting his comic to webtoons and was worried about his stuff getting taken down. It doesn't seem webtoons is very creator friendly nor allows creator freedom :(.

[MacchiaStella]

What's more confusing is that featured creators can get away with it, they be drawing so much "mature" content and not even the "18+" warning pops up
("Let's play" for example)

[kitschensyngk]

I recently put up an NCC page on Webtoon that required a trigger warning. It wasn't for violence, but I'm a little nervous now...

Nachos Con Carne | Tapas

Thankfully, this one is a little more PG.

[esmesn]

Yep. Really strange and selective. I emailed them asking why my comic was censored, and I got an automated message saying all the creative ways I can censor nudity/gore. All of which... I had done.

[esmesn]

YES I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS!!!! In my research before I started, I looked over all the popular webtoons to make sure they weren't taken down for the same stuff I would be doing. Thought I was totally safe because of that, but nope.

[esmesn]

Well it's great you've got a following on Tapas to fall back on, if webtoon does go crazy! If you want, you can send me some of the stuff you're nervous about, and we can try to compare it to mine and generally decode the webtoon policy together.

[JeanGuillet]

Yeah I get censored all the time. It sucks. In my case it's always about blood. Webtoons is absurdly encouraging childish phobias about blood and I think that people would do better to be able to look at blood dispassionately if only because one day you might have to stop someone's bleeding until an ambulance arrives. I've got shipwrecks and earthquakes and riots and executions and black magic going on in my comic and without the color red there's this massive disconnect from reality. I'm like a 1970's PG rating for my comic. It's not a gore-fest. So I post a teaser for the censored episodes and send people to tapas or my website instead. The constant threat of censorship means I don't feel like I can trust Webtoons and I don't try to build readership on their site. I try to discourage it actually, because I know that there's no future for my comic there. Anyways, sorry to hear your comic has been targeted by busybodies.

[crimson_mystery_cake]

that's never really happened to me but I am willing to make friends nonetheless!!

Unique art style deserves a chance to be recognized, I feel kind of confused about the worldbuilding, I'm not sure if they are humans, maybe because I feel that the chapters are too short to explore each subject exposed on each chapter, slice of life are perfect to explore the worldbuilding, I hope to see more.
Subbed.
Also if you are interested, here is my webcomic and I almost have the latest chapter finished.

Alpha Edrox: Cosmic Treasures | Tapas

I'm not sure what you mean about feeling lonely, but I think I can help to discuss any possible subject I guess.

[esmesn]

i'm so sorry :(( my favorite media is the type that features darker themes like that..... and I want more platforms to offer places for that!!! I was considering doing the censored thing for webtoons, but in the end I decided that the graphic stuff is essential to the story. And it's awful that webtoon censors stuff like that, because it's not like it's gratuitous.... but yeah I hope you're finding your place here and you don't have to worry abt censorship!! :))

[esmesn]

Ahhh I like you art!! Checking out your comic! I think your character design is sick, also :DD

Yeah, my first few episodes explain absolutely nothing at all, which is why I need to upload the rest of my completed ones asap. For some reason I thought being thrown in blind would be a good idea x) and then gradually dive deeper as it goes on. although it's definitely one of those comics where you're just along for the ride for a little bit. (I am very proud of the overall plot development that will emerge in a few months lol, so I am convinced subbing is worth it eventually) These are also so far not my best, those chapters are from March ;-;

The entire story/characters came from a very bad sleep paralysis episode last year. So there are some core concepts that make zero sense.

these guys are humans btw x)
