Is hentai a legitimate art form?
tentacle porn exist back in meijin era japan
and it's called art
The only reason a given medium isn't a legitimate art form is because the people who operate within existing art forms don't want to admit anyone else to their secret club and dilute their market.
If throwing a bunch of ink on a canvas can be called art, then hentai most certainly can be as well.
Art is to be found in the eyes of the beholder.
But sometimes it's just a lot of people having shit tastes.
It's a form of erotic art. By visuals and context, it holds talent and artistic impression.
It is a very beautiful and fappable form of art.

Yes, yes it is my friend. As an artist, erotic art or illustrations are a legitimate form of art that, like all art, is made to evoke a certain emotion in relation to the audience; in this case is sexuality.

Anything that is an expression of feelings is art.

and why is that?
First we have to interrogate ourselves about what is art.
The Oxford dictionnary tells us it's "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power", and I personnally don't see any difference between this definition and what I know of hentai.
Hentai - and anime more generally - is composed for of four primary art: drawing & painting, literature and possibly music.

So why shouldn't it be called art?
Won't you consider this pic as art just because 1/3 of the paint represent a naked women?
