I was trying to be active here again; but after a bunch of my art was removed, I don't feel comfortable here; this is a fetish and freak porn site masquerading as art...

I might start posting again maybe after new years; but personally I don’t feel comfortable on DeviantArt anymore; I didn’t post anything different from what was recommended to me; and when I tried to report the same sort of content as what got removed from my account I couldn’t because the admins had approved it already.

The standards are completely arbitrary; its been months of me saying I don’t want to see stuff ‘like this’ to get deviant art to stop recommending; dick pics and screenshots from porn and often hetero stuff; even guys jerking off; my vector drawings of normal looking people expressing normal sexuality are certainly more artistic than some dude taking a selfie with his dick out then applying a filter…

The fact that the admins allow; dick pics, pornography with a filter applied, guys riding other dudes whose chests are covered in cum, an entire album of cum from someone who favorited my work, or the tag cumshot, cumdump, etc, but deleted two year old works of mine because some homophobe stalked my profile and flagged everything he could while leaving that stuff up just isnt okay.

The fact that this site allows ‘fetish art’ but not depictions of normal sexuality is also a red flag; it literally pushes disgusting stuff, nowhere like anything I post or follow, as something “I might like” but not healthy male sexuality and humor; there's no getting around that policy creating a culture of degenerates and not artists.

Because I don't feel comfortable making people pay for my art I don't know what to do here; and the fact DeviantArt keeps begging for money is also pretty pathetic...
