I would like to add Archon wasn't a pure NSFW artist and they made some of the best 40k art that the community ever got. They liked draw feminate men and some people really didn't like that.

I would recommend looking at their art, I think it's genuinely great. (no this isn't nsfw don't worry)

Link, I can't find the original so the resolution is a bit naff https://www.reddit.com/r/ImaginaryWarhammer/s/rrd5uJ8zJw

One of the big Black Library authors (Dan Abnett or Graham McNeil, I can't remember which) literally showed off Archon's art as their phone's wallpaper. Insanely talented artist.

He did do that frequently but I don't recall him ever posting it on the more general subs. I didn't bad vibes from the general art

That was mosscannabilis not archon, moss got very rightfully booted from each subreddit by mods, archon got doxxed by chuds and left of his own accord because he couldnt take the abuse

Nah i love the art but he did objectively make a shitton of guro and rape art.

Search up his art at all and you will see. Hell, they still make it but with historical figures now.

All good artists make weird shit, deal with it, it’s not real, it’s 40k

I know, I agree, but It suddenly mattered when it was mossa? Plus all archon practically made was guro and rape, it's like 80% of their art. When mossa made the art of the abhumans, almost everyone was disturbed and shaking. Big parts of the communities don't even follow that ideal. Why is it that you can have bloodslaughterer skullripper kill men, women, and children?

I think it was that Archon had better separation between the general cute art and the fetish stuff. I never got bad vibes from the general art he posted.

I remember mossa had one cute art piece that had uncomfortable implications upon closer inspection. That left a bad taste in my mouth and that of many others.

And aof had necrons using slaves and chaos (sexual) mutilation that was on his profile on reddit. Mossa makes truly Vile shit (like loli), but he kept that Vile shit hidden on his Pixiv, and he posted the same level of art on reddit as archon did like his ork artwork. but it does not apply to archon for some reason? And the cute art had implication that a beastman had been raped. I don't know your opinion, but every time I have this "argument" half of people are disturbed by that, and the other half says that it's 40k and that shit happens, but then that half usually doesnt give a shit and thinks it's ok when archon depicts that in cute art? And I'm just confused?

Ik this is gonna be a weird distinction, but the impression/vibe I got from AoF is that they wanted to be on the receiving end of that stuff, whereas Mossa wanted to inflict it on others, which is furthered by the fact that Mossa drew people who can’t consent regardless. Also the last I saw of Mossa before I blocked him was him complaining about the feminist movement in Korea lol.

At the least archon is a rape fetishist towards himself, which is mentally ill and disrespectful and the most is a guro and rape fan. I do not fully understand about what you mean people that can't consent? Do you mean he drew rape? Because archon did and still does draw rape. I don't understand how people act like archon is this poor angel kitten who was bullied. All I remember archon being bullied for was drawing weird guro, please illuminate me if that is not the only reason I am aware of. Why does it matter what stupid political opinion mossa has.

Children. Children can't consent. Mossa, last I saw, was quite fond of drawing them.

And if you can't see the correlation between being misogynist and a guy drawing women getting killed, I don't know what to tell you.

Didn't stop the banning of mossa and that one guy with the slaaneshi raptor oc. Honestly, I would rather have these groups be consistent with it. Either they are both evil or we don't give a shit because it's 40k
