Well, DeviantArt is now on the warpath.

To their credit I get why. They want to crack down on "Fringe Fetishes" or so I've heard they've been called, like incest, rape, cannibalism, etc. The problem, however, is that they're including DID art in this.

Let me explain with the 18+/adult material (boy does that feel redundant) they'll remove with the following features:

• Real People
• Subjects (real or otherwise) under 18 (including aged up characters)
• Content offering sexual services
• Glorification of sexual violence
• Certain fringe sexual fetish topics or other fetish creations that are hard to distinguish from non-consensual sex.

I feel like that last one is vague enough to be open for interpretation. Like, someone could take one look at a PG-13 DIS art and think, "Screw context. That's non-consensual." Yes, except said context is needed to see if said art is going nuclear over, if you'll pardon the expression.

I just I wish I knew why that was. One user thinks it's 4Chan trolls. Another thinks it's some sort of monetization scheme. Me? I'm left wondering if my account's days are numbered, as well as the accounts of several users I like to watch. So far, it's been three days, and nothing's happened...yet.

You know what the sad thing is? The staff went ahead with updating the policy without hearing any protests. So they must be either really desperate, really gullible, or really... some other third thing.

I need a hug.

So what, I’m glad they are doing this, I don’t like NSFW content.
