I want to have my rights back!

~Emptysoule:iconEmptysoule: reports, October 10, 2007
WHAT IS THIS?!

As usual I clicked trough my deviations..

.. I was wondering why I can not see the deviations with mature content.. because i haven't changed something in my settings.. :confused:
I switch to my settings and saw that deviantart made change in their rules!
If you are under 18 you cant see mature content deviations

So.. deviations I like.. that may have mature content.. I can not see them annymore!!

THAT IS HORRIBLE :doh:

I WANT MY FAVES BACK !!!

I WANT TO SEE ALL THE ART I WANT TO SEE :angered: :angered: :angered: :angered:

If I do not wanna see those things I could change my settings!

Why is deviantart steeling my right to see what I want



Good art will loose faves .. ..!!!

So.. artists who wanna have much faves will not choose the mature content because less poeple would see their art!!!

:faq: I think it is much better if everyone can choose if he wants to see mature content deviations or not

I am really angry when I see my Faves and can not see all... :disbelief:

I saw them and i didnt regret!!

So I don't see any sense why I should not see them now!

It is so stupid! :shakefish:


:postit: I wanna have your OPINION! Please write me !!

I have to agree that I, too, would still like to see mature content deviations, provided I have seen them before. However, I am still composing my own argument against this (you would think some purple-haired chick had better things to do), but to be accurate, you must look at the positive aspects of this, too (it keeps a number of adults happy that their 13-year old kid isn't looking at stuff he shouldn't be looking at, whatever that may be, for example). I'm very inspired to research this, to get views from everybody, not just the fellow underage minors who suffer. Still, I understand why this was put into effect, however much of a Nazi I sound.

...I'm not sure if that made any sense, but that's what happens when you stay up all night. xD

*metalik-fairy:iconmetalik-fairy: Oct 10, 2007, 8:47:36 AM Mood: Anger
I think it's shit. I'm 18 now anyway ( just a week ago actually) but a lot of my younger friends ( I'm talking 16-17 not wee kids) hate this new rule. They draw and fave a lot of mature pics ( not just erotica but gore and horror aswell).

I think that veiwing mature content should be left to the deviant to decide rather than staff.

I really want my mature content filter turned off again. This is really annnoying. I'm 16 and I'll soon be 17 and I can make these choices myself. DA should at least lower the age limit to like 16 or something. This way 13 year olds aren't seeing mature stuff, but older kids are. I don't think I need to be 18 to see a picture with a bit of blood in it.

~Diablos-Scorpio:iconDiablos-Scorpio: Oct 10, 2007, 9:44:06 AM
If I didn't want to see stuff marked as mature, I would have turned my mature filter on. I'm old enough to decide on what I want or don't want to see. Plus if some things marked mature I wont give it the time of day, I'm not going to click on a picture with 'MATURE CONTENT' plastered over it 'cause I don't know if it's a picture with a bit of blood (which I I don't mind at all) or a pair of tits (which I don't really want to see). Before I could ignore the tits and look at decent art, but now unless the artist says what it is in the comment I won't know and if I'm going through someone's gallery I wont bother going through all the effort just to look at one picture I could see a thumbnail of before....It's just pointless.

I agree. I'm -almost- 17, and i think i can choose myself what i want to see. This new rule only make people angry, in my humble opinion. It's because if you see a big, grey thumbnail with restriction sign on it, you're starting to wonder: "What does it hiding?" I don't care that the image has mature content - if i like it, i should have right to see it. Of course I agree that children shouldn't see erotic or gory images - but sooner or later, they will see them, if they want to. And the right to decide what children could see and what couldn't, belong to parents, anyway...
So please, DA, give us the right to choose what we want to see... again.

Thank you.

Wow, you're pretty angry but I can understand that very well. I'm 17 myself and used to art with mature content. I am aware of the fact that underaged people are not to look at them, but I know perfectly well what a naked body looks like and real nude ART can be beautiful. I'm not the kind of pervert who's going to search for fetish and porn and so on.
So I agree with you about choosing this. I turned the filter off when I was 16 so I watched that art anyway... and now for some reason it will be turned on for a few months after which it will be off again. Right...
I know it's for protecting children, but children aren't even allowed on dA, they will be banned if they're under... 13 or 14 or something. I would never put any nude pictures of myself online, but I consider myself old enough to watch art containing mature content without getting frightened or anything.
