I am sure that frequent users of DeviantArt have noticed the pictures of naked women that are often on the front page under "popular". Popular they may be, which I'm not surprised about, but just because they are popular with some viewers does not mean that they are appropriate. There is a fine line between 'artistic nude' and pornography and I acknowledge that this IS subjective, however, when Deviant Art Staff deem that a photo of a woman bound to a bed with her legs spread and her vagina showing is NOT inappropriate and pornographic I think things have gone way too far. I personally cannot see how 'fetish' shots and a woman's labia on display are 'artistic' but again, it is subjective, however there has to be a line drawn somewhere and in this particular case I believe that DeviantArt has not done its job in censoring this kind of 'art'. I do believe that if enough Deviant Art users complain about pictures like this then something can be done. If you agree with me, contact the admin and tell them how you feel about these images because you shouldn't have to worry whether or not you're going to see a vagina on the front page every time you sign in

`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
