All the Littleshrimp stuff disappeared sometime this week. The Ben 10 and Airbender deletions I can sort of understand, but Littleshrimp? Come on. Yeah, he's a round-eyed monster, but he only drew Touhou shit. We're deleting good art based on meta-information instead of how well it fits the site's present contents or how the inner core of Japan-obsessed white devils take to it. Do you think that maybe in light of how many people expect the site to be anime-themed instead of bitterly anime-purist, it's time to re-examine the TOS?

EDIT: The reason for the enforcement of the non-Japanese artists is because there were people claiming that "anime-style" makes it acceptable even when the art itself was vaguely "anime-style".
When western artists were allowed (as long as the drawing was fan-art for anime, manga, etc), there was a bunch of "anime style" art, crappy or otherwise, that wasn't related to any anime or manga. Or, as you mentioned, people claiming Ben 10 or Avatar should be allowed because they're "anime style". The point isn't that this is a board for "anime style" work, it's just what the title says--Gelbooru is a
Japanese themed site. Just because something is drawn in the "anime style" doesn't mean it's instantly related to Japan.
