A "spree" is unrealistic because of the effort in finding the stuff. The word is "digging"."

If you have favorites— especially anything featuring gay love— drop me a link, okay?

I do the same, whenever I see a LBGTQ+ piece that gets unfair low score because of its LGBTQ+ nature I immediately rise the score. You can dislike a piece for its execution, concept and even ideas if conveyed poorly, but if you hate something because of a shitty ideology (such as homophobia), we have a problem then.

I'm noticing something. Popular artists who are well known offsite can maintain high ratings and non-aggressive comments by making their m/m or f/f pieces the glossy cartoon fan art styles that are generally preferred here. Adult-rated pages with teen characters are especially well received. It's the unfamiliar creators with unique styles, original characters, grayscale or subtle palettes, and no genitalia showing in middle of a sex act that are largely skipped over or you get the comments that are against the moderation policies.

(sigh) That's good to know. But it's why old members can point and say this site is accepting while queer newcomers who don't show up with a friend group quickly feel unwelcome.

I've seen very hit or miss results with queer acceptance on Newgrounds. While I know of many supportive people, two of my art pieces were rated much lower for being owtwardly queer and the other for painting Trump in a negative light. I also lost followers after posting both. Sigh... Only so much I can do.
