A better way to organize deviations?
*Orioto reports, May 7
reports, May 7So, i was talking about that in a journal and people seems to find the idea interesting. It's my first news anyway !
The actual way of organizing content is somewhat not perfect, cause it links two things that should be independant : genre and tech of an image.
Those two aspects shoudn't be linked for two reasons. Firstly, pratically, it makes some impossible matchs, as for me for exemple, who can't have a fanart photomanipulation category, as it just doesn't exist !
Secondly, ideologically, genre and tech should never be linked in any way. I'll take the animation exemple. People have the tendency to consider animation as a genre, and it reduce the scope of it. Animation is a technical aspect, but every genres can be represented by it. That's why the genre of an image shouldn't be associated by force to a technical style.
The thing i propose is really simple, and would greatly simplify the browsing ans submiting. Let's have two distinct and independant categorization in the submiting process. The genre, and the technical style. So a fanart can be anything, or a portrait, or a design... And the browsing would just be about chosing a genre, and, or (or not) a technical style.

I'm an anime and Naruto fan. I get annoyed at people who don't respect opinions. If you don't like anime, fine. I won't flame you. Please honour me by doing the same.

Those within the darkness seek the light. However, when they reach the light, they avert their eyes at the brightness and feel only pain. Truth is the same way. Some day, you will avert your eyes from the light of truth and know eternal darkness.
this is a great idea

We had our atomic wars—thousands of years ago. After that we fought with
bows and arrows. Then, slowly, we learned that fighting is no solution—that
aggression leads to chaos.
