Could we agree that a decision not to feature a medicore and non-notable piece of original art that offers no or little educational value is _not_ censorhip?

You have been informed several times that the comment was not discounted. Those who supported featured status for the image explained their reasons as follows: 1. Support. Kawaii :) (Japanese for "cute" or "charming") 2. Support I like it. Well it's manga so the colors or landscape do not have to make sense ;-) 3. Support 4. Support Superb work 5. Support i like her big tits :-) 6. Support i know that it was very much of work for the user. i have seen the first lines of it and can see now the result: a wunderful work. 7. Support - very good work. 8. strong Support I have seen this work evolve and it is brilliant. Keep up the good work niabot! The end result was 8 support, 2 oppose, 2 neutral => featured.
