What's the Deal?

What's the deal with DA these days? It is becoming more and more pornographic (No, a close-up of some guy's penis hanging out of his pants is not an artist nude.) Art thieves/plagiarists are ignored by the staff. They add a feature that would have been a great boon to DA as an art community (critiques) then make that feature for subscribers only (I was actually a subscriber when that came out and avoided it on principle. It is the one of the few features that should be free).

I love how I constantly hear people in complaints talking about running into bad photos of genitals, yet in my three years of using this site I've never once found any in my day-to-day browsing.

This has been happening for a long long time.

I think cameras and equipment is too easily accessible nowadays. Too many people are just taking nudes because they can and its the only thing which will get them a lot of views on whatever profile they post it on. Happens on Facebook to unfortunately -.-

That seems most likely.

But I like sweaty wet vagina's everywhere.




I don't see the issue.

Penis hanging out of pants =/= porn.

Just thought you might want to know...just for future reference.

According to DA Playboys are not porn either... just for future reference.

That's perfectly fine. Its softcore.

If you don't like it? then turn your mature filter on. Problem solved! :pat:

So you don't think softcore porn is porn?
moni158's avatar
Its technically porn, but then again there is door knob porn...does that make door knobs porn? Depends how you look at it.

If you get off to a guy with his shlong hanging out? then I guess that is your type of porn. Most people will just shrug, not give a fuck and move on.

Most of society agrees that Playboys are porn. According to DA standards the photo shoots they contain are not porn. That said, the photos in playboy are more artistic than most of the "artistic nudes" on DA. I don't care what excuses you make. You are only lying to yourself.

My point is that just because you are squeamish doesn't mean people on here can't post stuff that is completely within the rules. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean others can't post/enjoy it. Sure you can complain all you want but it just comes across as bratty. If you don't like something then ignore it and move on.

One already snuck up on me and attached itself. Now I am stuck with the parasite. Sometimes I think it may even be messing with my thoughts.
