PSA: Deviant Art will remove SW images soon
They have announced that, among other things, they will:
"remove 18+/adult material which features certain fringe sexual fetish topics or other fetish creations that are hard to distinguish from non-consensual sex"

Yeah I'm saving some images just in case and I suggest others do the same too, this is gonna backfire on them as they lose pretty much their whole audience.

I'd better get my Pixiv account working. No freedom on American servers.

I hope more people will jump into Pixiv and Newgrounds too. Plus Discord for contacts. Cause there's no way in Hell am I ever making a Twitter account just to reach them. If anything, I'd rather reach them on Instagram than on Twitter.

Re: PSA: Deviant Art will remove SW images soon
I wonder how they will enforce that policy, since not all size content is non-consensual... probably they'll go full sledgehammer and remove any and all SW/SM/GTS content.
Either way, that is terrible news, there's way too much stuff to backup, we might lose some classics forever. I thought our societies were on their way to MORE freedom, but these past few years have been nothing but the opposite.

If you're in the US, THEY are giving us more "freedoms" but only the "freedoms" they want us to or think we should have.foreverlurk wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2023 2:30 pmI wonder how they will enforce that policy, since not all size content is non-consensual... probably they'll go full sledgehammer and remove any and all SW/SM/GTS content.

In other words, what's THEIRS is THEIRS; and what's OURS is THEIRS.
Namely our freedoms, our escapes/fantasies, our ways of life,... everything.
And if we don't stay in line, and go by their rules, we're forever facing the wrath of the Cancel Cult, The California Crazies, The Twitter Mob even.

Good ol America. Someone can wear someone's intestines as a necklace. But anything sexually related oh boy! Bloody puritans win again!

Can't disagree with you there. The crazy thing is that this will probably destroy DeviantArt as a viable platform. Talk about shooting themselves in the foot.

Re: PSA: Deviant Art will remove SW images soon
That's what happens to alot of big companies these days. Chasing that bottom line and fake ESG/DEI cred, only to chase off the fans that made them as big as they used to be. Unless they find a way course correct all this, and get better management, go back to how it used to be, I'm afraid their days are numbered.Aussie_Lurker wrote: ↑Sun Sep 10, 2023 1:07 amCan't disagree with you there.

Re: PSA: Deviant Art will remove SW images soon
Even if I wanted to "save my stuff just in case" I have around 10k renders. Figure will just keep moving forward if it gets wiped out. I did post a bunch round these parts
Ironically I was suspended from DA & Youtube in the early days.

Re: PSA: Deviant Art will remove SW images soon
I made my Pixiv account. Not much there, yet. Their rules are different, and they don't seem to allow photomanips of other people's work. That eliminates lots of my older stuff.
I'm seeing some messages that the "purge" is just pointing to guidelines that are several years old. So it is one of those undying memes, like every two years people claiming Mars being the size of the full moon. I hope so.

Yikes, what happened? Knowing what actually gets enforced is much more valuable than what the rules are supposed to be.

With D/A it was for my more explicit content. Which is why they are now posted elsewhere. Youtube I had made slide shows of my stories at 1st the clean parts then saw plenty of what I would consider soft porn. I re edited my stuff with some added I was suspended. Eventually youtube revamped it all got wiped, I never bothered re posting.

Re: PSA: Deviant Art will remove SW images soon
Well goddamn it, deviantart is one if the few places I go to look at SW art whenever I’m in the mood here and there. I don’t know where else to go to find a large collection of SW art outside of here and lurking around on the art section on giantcesscity.net
(Also im now kinda curious to see if dA will take down a completely SFW SM pic I have saved in my favorites. Would be ironically funny imo considering there’s nothing obviously sexual about it. Feel like I wouldn’t really be too surprised if they did)

Facebook has the same type of rumors periodically. People post statements on their walls, "I do not give my permission, blah, blah." And nothing comes to fruition. Just another way Big Brother is trying to control us.

Re: PSA: Deviant Art will remove SW images soon
Found in that post in reddit:
"Is there a link for this change? I can't find it in the Submission Policy or the support site about it.
Edit: Ok, found it, it's in this help article. This isn't new. It's been there since at least March 2022."
"I dug around some more: this part of the policy has been around since 2022-03-01 (more accurately, sometime between 2022-02-28 and 2022-03-03 from WBM snapshots, and the latter indicates an edit date of 2022-03-01T18:07:01Z). There also hasn't been any recent change to that particular article"
"I haven't found any announcement or similar. Apparently someone on Twitter commented on that bit and it was misunderstood (either by them or by others) as a policy change rather than an existing policy. "

Re: PSA: Deviant Art will remove SW images soon
Since we are talking about posting and things like that. I've been fooling around with the "Dark Web" and TOR. I was wondering if there is an onion site that may have image posts. Something that is a "WHOLE LOT MORE" wild westish than regular net. Would allow even the more crazier SW works.

This is a nothing burger with a side of overreaction.
These rules are nothing new and represent a statement they will enforce the law. I wouldn’t be surprised if some ex-girlfriend sued DA for defamation after their ex posted some revenge porn. It’s horrible but it happens a lot
