Another thing we have to consider is that despite artwork being flagged and deleted due to abnormal or grotesque proportions, there are other countless artworks out there that are far worse and yet have been accepted either due to favoritism by select mods or simply careless mass approvals. So in these situations where, yes the proportions may be exaggerated at times, but as a whole the particular piece isn't too bad overall, there should be some lenience or in the very least review by more than one mod.

PS I also agree that the "artists' style" argument can be redundant and pointless, since there are plenty of artists out there that post sub-par practice sketches or drawings below their normal quality on their twitters and pixivs.

The argument "there is worse" is bad as well.
Most below mediocre stuff was approved by one moderator who is now demoted. After demotion, the quality was generally better. The problem is that there is a fuckton of such images and they ARE getting flagged but the workload is extremely high.

What I wanted to convey was that the thing I dislike most is how one biased or hateful mod can easily have posts deleted merely because they don't like it or it inconveniences the few.

TL:DR I was venting a bit about how unfair the system can be sometimes. No offense or hate necessarily being directed anywhere though.

I'd like to say that this isn't necessarily bad anatomy. It's still fully possible, considering how weird the human body can be. As far as quality goes, this artist has been rather consistent with their work, and this is on par with their previous works.

That's not really true. Other posts of that artist have much worse proprtions where the torso is sometimes not even half as large as the thighs or ass. This isn't one of these posts.
I generally dislike by the way that such proportions are still getting defended nearly all the time. These posts are generally accumulating a ton amunt of favs and scores, but that hasn't really something to do with the quality of a post but more with the userbase Danbooru is talking to. Most of robutts stuff is below the quality threshold. The deletion rate of around 25% is showing that pretty well. In oter words, robutts's art per se may be great, but Danbooru proclaims to be an art gallery that avoids to have "grotesque" posts. Grotesque in terms of proportions and maybe robutts draws well and nice, but they are going overboard sometimes with proportions which causes this huge amount of flags against him.
On this post, I can't really agree with this since the proportions are looking fine. But that doesn't excuse the proportions flaws on other stuff from robutts which seems to get excused by "artist's style". That is a fairly bad argument since we should judge images on their own merits and not because artist xy drew something.

I think people just have a problem with robutts art or something. His/her's proportions are more exaggerated and extreme compared to other people's art, so people should go and look at his/her's previous art before flagging.
