discussion: to horror or not to horror - sh.itjust.works

posted this on the challenge thread and mummy disqualified it for disrespecting community rules, claiming it’s “body horror”. i showed it offline to other people and the response was that it’s absurd and not horror. you may not like it, it’s ok. You’re welcome to downVote it. The question is: Is this horror?

Doesn’t this question highlight the subjectivity of art? Personally I wouldn’t call it body horror, but absurd definitely seems to fit, and probably surreal too. I wouldn’t call it “horror” either, but if someone has a clown phobia they might disagree.

That is wild! I like the more obscure AI images. So interesting

Rule 4 violation for sure, it’s disturbingly inaccurate. Forget the “horror” argument you’re chasing, it’s a useless argument when this is clearly disturbingly inaccurate depiction of human form. And I bet you know that already.

why is it disturbing? It’s (like somebody wrote) so surreal, i can’t understand why you would feel uncomfortable with the above image. Is jerkability the only criteria?

when it comes to “inaccuracy”, many other images posted on aigen are “inaccurate” but people rarely complain as long as these representations serve the popular male fantasies. The only exception i saw was when mummy posted an apparently anorexic girl and even that one was ok for a great majority.

you can take photos of some “real” people and a dickhead may come up and write that it’s inaccurate. Deformities, some disturbing, are not uncommon. (i won’t claim that deformity in the above image is human. That’s why it can be funny for some. It doesn’t bring to mind any suffering. Like a clown, it defies pain.

How do you define accurate?

…there’s a cock coming out of between her tits bro, stop playing naive, it is making you look really stupid. Just talk about how you dislike that this space has that rule, stop pretending like you don’t comprehend how it applies.

Your argument(s) are disingenuous and you clearly enjoy being controversial for the sake of attention.

Is jerkability the only criteria

lmao get fucked tbh

While I appreciate the work that goes into realistic depictions of the human form and upvote them, I would personally take experimental, weird and unusual compositions over anime tiddies any day. Nothing against anime, it’s just so overdone. While arguably porn/erotic content in most forms is overdone, those that strive for realism in AI porn get brownie points from me because that is not trivial to do (yet). It’s like with renaissance painting hack in the day, realism is still a holy grail that isn’t so easily attainable. But I also appreciate those that come up with strikingly original content, subverting expectations. Whether it repulses or not, that is subjective. And if it’s not allowed on this sub, maybe there should be another for it.

It doesn’t have the hallmarks of horror.

The rendering isn’t horrific: the face doesn’t look like it’s suffering or threatening. The lighting is neutral, rather than malevolent. The weirdly placed organs look more like a photoshopped cut and paste, rather than the result of anything scary.

However, I’m not sure it’s appropriate for a porn community. I’d toss it somewhere else, but that’s a mod decision.
