On /aicg/ “bushes” is shorthand for pubic hair on the bot’s character card art.
It’s not about gardening or 3-D renders; it’s specifically whether the girl (or guy/futa/etc.) drawn in the reference picture has a visible bush or is completely shaved.
Because most cards are anime-style, the default is usually hairless or just a tiny gradient, so any artist who draws a thick, detailed tuft instantly becomes a topic.

Typical argument threads look like this:

1. OP drops a new card
>New tomboy baker card, link in bin. She’s got a full 80s bush in the ref because it fits the theme.
>Hope you guys like whole-wheat.

2. First replies split into camps
>Team Bush:
>>Finally some variety. Shaved loli #5823 gets old.
>>It’s canon to the 90s setting, cope.
>
>Team Shave:
>>Disgusting, dropped. I don’t want to imagine flossing with that while I’m cooming.
>>Artist is a degenerate hairfag, filtering.

3. Escalation
>Someone posts a side-by-side edit where the bush is erased and calls it the “fixed” version.
>>You literally just airbrushed her crotch into a Barbie doll, that’s not fixing anything.
>Counter-edit appears with an even bigger bush and a watermark “COALITION FOR CURLIES”.
>Thread derails into whether pubic hair is “more hygienic” or “roach motel”, complete with unsourced screenshots from Reddit.

4. Meta-arguments
>“Bushchads keep winning” vs “Smoothbrain pedo coomers”.
>Accusations that the jannies prune bush threads faster than shave threads.
>Someone claims LoRA training data is 97 % shaved so any bush card is doomed to token bleed.

5. Eventual timeloop
>Anon posts the pasta:
>Reminder that whether you like it bald, trimmed, or Amazon rainforest, the real redpill is that none of you have touched grass, let alone pussy. Thread dies at 310 replies.
