* [[RunningGag Mandatory]] ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' [[TropeOverdosed example]]: [[http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?s_mode=s_tag_full&word=warhammer Here]].

* DigitalAvatar: The majority of users (who aren't {{Lurker}}s) have one themselves, but a phenomenon in Pixiv is creation of DigitalAvatar of internet celebrities.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar or RefugeInAudacity: [[http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?s_mode=s_tag_full&word=R-17.9 Here as the English equivalent "R-17.9"]]. The rating system is based on the age of the person, such as "R-18" means adults only, even if they have censors. "R-17.9" is a RunningGag in which the image is ''almost but not quite'' risque enough to be labeled as such because they have, for example, convenient censors.

%%DO NOT list community antics on the Tropes section, such entries are troper tales and will be zapped.

[[http://www.pixiv.net/ Pixiv]] is a Japanese online community for artists, not unlike the Western world's Website/DeviantArt. Launched in September 2007. Pixiv aims to provide a place for artists to exhibit their illustrations and get feedback via a rating system and user comments. Works are organized in an extensive tag structure which forms the backbone of the website. However, tagging is notoriously haphazard on Pixiv (quite unlike the ImageBooru sites, where standardized tagging tends to be enforced by the moderators), so finding images often relies on trial and error (and knowing [[AlternateCharacterReading every possible way the name in question can be written in kanji, katakana and/or hiragana]], [[SerialEscalation including any possible abbreviations]], [[LongList as well as English spellings that may be in common usage in Japan]], [[MindScrew and even mixes of English and Japanese text]]). One main reason for this problem is that Pixiv only allows ten tags, including the artist's own, so artists usually are either clever (combining multiple tags into one since the search goes for all matches or making [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments very funny, sometimes nonsensical ones]]) or what could be described as "[[ItsAllAboutMe narcisstic]]" (anyone can edit tags, but ''one'' tag implies the artist wants others/watchers to add them, and this is really bad practice), the latter being ''very'' prominent.

In case that doesn't sound like anything special to you, consider that the majority of {{Anime}} and {{Manga}} fan arts in the [[ImageBooru 'boorus]] and the [[ImageBoards 'chans]] are taken from Pixiv, most of the time without permission from the artists. It's also an easy way to gauge a work's popularity in Japan; for instance, ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'', ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]], ''InazumaEleven'', ''FireEmblem'' and ''KantaiCollection'' [[http://www.pixiv.net/tags.php are all on the first page of tags.]]
