Amazing Idea, but a few problems 1. Anytime you give someone freedom to create (anything), you will end up with a penis drawing. Just scrolling through quickly I see that Frame #13122 delivers on this law of the universe. After watching the movie preview, I only watched the first 45-50 seconds and counted about 4-5 drawings of the bodypart and 6-8 additional frames that just contain the word "penis".

I know that Discord has a poor implementation of this technology. I once spent 10 minutes trying to upload a photograph before I realized that a pig’s snout was tripping its indecency detector. I had to put a black bar across the offending area to bypass it. It must be a feature channel operators can turn on?

I agree. While commendable, OP complicates matters greatly by declaring war on indecency and incompetence. What’s wrong with penises and bad drawings?

by allowing penis drawings it pulls any artwork generated to be penis focused. Crowdsourced art suffers if it can only ever be about the penis is mightier than the sword. Bad drawings likewise limit the aesthetic of what is possible.

As demonstrated by this conversation, Q.E.D

Are we to reason about aesthetics?

These are not problems.

Well, the problem is some of those aren't even drawings. Some minimum effort should be made even if you don't want to trace the frame.

People giving out tips on how to "improve" this probably didn't read the FAQ. > The Free Movie is not about quality– in fact, that interpretation, that rawness, is the specific terroir want in the final film. To paraphrase MSCHF: shitty things are good. Yes, there are better ways to rotoscope a movie than unmoderated crowdsourcing. So what? Not everything has to be over-engineered and optimized for 150% user experien…

this is not watchable for me, maybe without all the blank or random frames it could be

A great solution would be one where maybe after drawing a frame one could choose between two frames of the movie that which one better represents the original / is better or funnier in their mind.

Seriously, it's not like they are trying to win an Oscar. If someone puts a random penis in the middle - great, it makes the work all that more interesting. That is what crowdsourced art is all about.

Curious what the copyright situation is for redrawing a movie. If it's ok the next step would be training a model with video frames and the drawn version (edge input) to undo the process :D

There's nothing wrong with it morally, at least in my opinion.

There's just the practical issue of how to deal with all the penis drawings.

Also, it is just annoying behavior. People think they are being funny, but it is the equivalent of a child writing P O O P everywhere. It is mildly fun for them, but tiresome for everyone else. It isn't in the spirit of the group effort, and just takes the fun out of it for people who actually want to make something.
