but I am sick to damned death of seing this pop up from people on my watch list. (and forgive me if you read this, but maybe you should read it and get a clue.)
Let us review.
Artistic Nudity: reference works such as the Sistine Chapel cieling, the Venus de Milo, Michelangelo's david or other such well known works for an example of artistic nudity. These works often depict and focus on the shapes, curves and forms of the human body and use it to express or convey a feeling within the subject.
Artistic Erotica: Such works as these often depict intense focus on the subject's body- often posed seductively or with some suggestiveness.. However, it should be noted no actual "lewd" or "adult" acts are physically taking place. Subject may or may not be nude.
Hentai/Yuri/Yaoi: MORE OFTEN THAN NOT PORN, no matter the quality of the art!
NOW.
What am I getting at?
WHY can these people not get it through their skulls that DeviantART is NOT A PLACE FOR PORN. It's in the rules that you agreed upon when you sign up! This is not a place for wank - if you wish to wank, please go to your porn payserver and pay your bill or buy your dirty doujinshi at a convention.
I am absolutely sick of seing people post outright porn in their galleries (and yes, I know to report it), thinking if they just BLUR the erect penis that's being forcefully shoved up some 13 year old anime boy's ass that they're following DeviantART's rules. NO. YOU ARE NOT. GET. A. CLUE
It does not matter if you put a black censor bar completely over the male genitals! If you can still tell that the two are stuffin' it like no tomorrow it is STILL PORN! It doesn't matter if you crop the bottem half of that picture out- if you can still tell exactly what's going on and if it looks like a sperm bank EXPLODED on your canvas then it is still PORN. It does not matter if it is drawn porn or real porn- it is PORN. ITS PORN!
Yet EVERY TIME these fans get their pictures removed they act like they are SHOCKED and cannot figure out why- afterall, DeviantART allows nudity, why isn't THEIR nudity allowed? Wait, I know! its because deviantART is full of a bunch of hypocritical homophobic conservative assholes! YEAH! THAT'S IT!
WRONG
It's because you're too thick skulled to understand what crosses the line between artistic nude, artistic erotica and flat out PORN.
THAT is why your pictures get deleted and why you get BANNED. Not because of DeviantART'S "evil hypocritical homophobes"..but because of YOU.
THANK YOU. I'm done.
( Obligatory disclaimer: Yes, I dislike yaoi... but that's not why I used the yaoi fangirls as the biggest example.. its just that this happens the most with the yaoi artists on DA. Most other people seem to take a hint after their first policy violation. )
I am afraid I have to ask to make babies with you.

Okay, idiots, thanks to the legions of morons who decide that this box of text can be used as a judgement of character, I will cease to have any kind of quality or thoughtful signature. Thanks a whole lot.
I think we could make a race of superforum babies.

I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
