>>3465383Well, things like visible panties and beast mode Illya are in a gray area in my opinion; sure images of such can still be cute but there are a good amount that are still lewd due to the artist sexualizing the girl in some way. Details such as obvious cameltoe or erect nipples can really detract from an image because those are way more sexual and lewd than cute. In the end it's all about intent of the artist and how successful they are at getting their point across with the final product. Ecchi will never be related to /c/ as it is meant to have a sexual or lewd message behind the image; these types of images are better suited being posted elsewhere. That being said, beast mode Illya can still be fully cute so long as the artist didn't try adding in any sexual details or hints in the image. Lewd and sexual details hurt the overall quality of an image as it turns it from art to smut that serve little to no purpose outside of sexual pleasure of the viewer.
I'm glad this conversation turned out this was, it's nice chatting with anons on /c/ about these kinds of things even if in the end we don't agree. Much more civil than others crappy weeb boards.
