Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I think that's in Boston in China Town if I'm not mistaken.

You're absolutely right. But now (last I checked) there's some tags/bad graffiti all around it.

[–]youremyjuliet 2 points3 points ago

Correct. I walk by this every day, and I've watched it slowly become surrounded by crappy tags.

Still pretty neat to see an original Banksy every day though.

Ditto. I took a photo the day after it went up... now its been tagged by morons.

It's a damn shame whats happened to it. I saw it on a trip into chinatown with my friend, we were kind of in a hurry, but i figured i would get a picture of it on my cellphone, because I didnt think I would get a better chance at seeing it that untouched Proof, Not that it's needed

I liked it until the focus shifted off banksy/street art, and went to Mr. Brainwash and his mass produced cash grab of an art show.

[–]EthicalReasoning 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

you missed the entire point of the movie

spoiler alert: it's a mockumentary that pulled a huge prank on the art world by manufacturing an artist, it's basically a critique on the art world and banksys (or any other pop artists) popularity

[–]Plutor 2 points3 points ago

It's not accepted as staged or fictional. The creators insist angrily that it's all true, and there's been no real evidence one way or the other. I like it better because it's unclear.

[–]CowFu 1 point2 points ago

yeah...that's why it's called exit through the gift shop. Taking something artistic or enjoyable and trying to turn an inflated profit on it.

Doesn't mean I have to enjoy the second half of the movie.

[–]Plutor 0 points1 point ago

Rumors are that it's all fictional (or, rather, staged). Banksy made up the story as a statement about commercializing street art.

Another rumor is that Thierry Guetta was actually played by Banksy. Not sure I buy that one.

it was a typical banksy piss take, he publicly gives the guy accolades to give him cred, then makes a movie about how its all bullshit and how stupid people are for paying 15k for a no talent, no name to take a dump on a canvas and sell it as art. I think the film was a poke at the people who have built him up, to expose how fickle society can be about fame, money and status.

feel sorry for all those people who actually paid money for his printed crap.

[–]Ignignot 0 points1 point ago

How did he give the man accolades? His quote was literally that Mr brainwash is "A force of nature… and I don't mean that in a good way." Doesn't really seem like some big props to me.

[–]j03l5k1 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

when he was promoting his exhibition, banksy said kind words publicly to help him with exposure, and then afterward during the docco, bansky spent pretty much the whole time rightfully trashing him

Well that's a little disheartening.

I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just gonna ask where they're headed and I'll catch up with em there.

Is that the one in Boston?

[–]PanFlute 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ya, but it's been graffitied over, which, ironically, annoys me.
