To Block or not to Block...?

Nowadays the block feature, for me, is just a grass roots method of protesting the innundation of AI slop and hard core porn on this site; but, I have certain misgivings about its efficacy, most because of its brutish sense of finality. Do I think fanart featuring a dummy thicc Franky from 'Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends'-- squating, knees akimbo, rolling mounds of alabaster flesh straining against her cow-spotted bikini top--her mouth agape with tongue trailing gossamer threads of spittal--do I think a blockable offense this constitutes? And all that entails? Do I think this person deserves never to see my work, and, whatsmore, to never know the reason why? No, but, counterpoint...? That shit is gross, and I don't want to see this person's *goon-addled artistry on my daily feed; and, currently, there isn't a more definite method to ensure that then the good ol' block button, so, what do I do...? What can I do? Nothing I guess; not until DA institutes some means of filtering out art by user name. Until then the block button is just going to be increasingly devalued as a comment on some stranger's character and more a comment on just my personal taste. And maybe this is post hoc rationale for denying someone the ability to enjoy my own art. However, to be fair, I'm also willingly denying myself the capacity to see their's. The imposition works both ways.

One of the block button's most infamous nicknames is "the ban hammer", because, like the block button, hammers are blunt instruments. But sometimes, when no other tool itself presents, you use whatever's close to hand. It's human of course, to lament realities such as these; and decent to hope for better circumstances down the line. If someone asked me, had I a more refined means to currate my daily feed 'Is it worth denying someone the ability to see your art just so you won't see their's again?' I would say 'No.'; having no such alternative, I would say, 'Yes.'

*To clarify, I do not have any issues whatsoever with raunch or titilating imagery, I just espouse the same sentiments as Raymond Chandler castigating James Cain:

"James Cain - faugh! Everything he touches smells like a billygoat. He is every kind of writer I detest, a faux naix, a Proust in greasy overalls, a dirty little boy with a piece of chalk and a board fence and nobody looking. Such people are the offal of literature, not because they write about dirty things, but because they do it in a dirty way."

When it comes to pinups, my rule of thumb is 'If I were the cameraman, could I ask the model to make that face in that pose in that outfit with a straight face?', and, if the answer's 'No!' then generally I don't watch it, and, thus, I don't draw it.
