There's not much I can say about this other than how much I agree with you. I am so sick of people crying about artistic expression when no one's actually stopping them from making the pictures or even stopping them from posting them on sites that allow them.

hehehe really true

I know some who must deal with DA admns actions, even if they disagree

I agree with you.
I think the mature content tags are a very good thing. And i get really irate when people rant about how their image is artistic and that the site is oppressing them by goodness forbid marking it with a tag to let people know it contains nudity.
I just hate the mentality that people think that just because they're okay with nudity that everyone should be society doesn't work that way, and their are some people out their who simply want to avoid looking at it, people should try to respect them. plus dA does need incentives to get people to join the site. not allowing people to see all the sites content unless they join is one of them.


I've seen people from the other side getting aggressive lately too. Like people report something that they think is porn, dA disagrees and doesn't remove it, so then they go and post rants about the work, and the artist, even though dA said it was acceptable, or go report it over and over and over with no extra evidence against why it should be removed.


Sure people can protest the rules and try to influence admin to alter them. But in the end dA's a business, and like any art gallery anywhere in the world, they reserve the right to decide what they display within their walls. As long as it's not breaking the law of course.

If people want true freedom they should build their own site for their portfolio. Then they might begin to understand that much of dA's rules are actually in place because of the law in the first place.


oh, please s'cuse my ramblings too

Sooo true! It's like people who think they can steal art or music, since the CD or art is "too expensive to buy" and they act like they have a right to just HAVE it. Uh, hello: welcome to Earth, where if you don't want to pay for it, don't buy it.

Bravo on the stamp! :cheer:

I agree to an extent. dA has some rather lame policies and hardass admins at times.

I agree with the message of the stamp. None of us HAVE to be here, and to bitch and moan about the rules is absolutely childish. If anyone wants to do that, they ought to just leave. It's not right to bring down others for enjoying the site when that person cannot.

If someone hates it so much, that person should go make his/her OWN site so that that person could set up his/her OWN rules.

Great stamp.

The mature tags are what prevent schools and other places from blocking dA.
