A Feminist Perspective on Questionable Images

reports, 2d 16h agoSex and sexuality in art are some of my favorite things, and certainly sometimes arousal is part of this, but more importantly, it is FAR MORE than about simple arousal, as porn is. One of my deviantart friends, 
, said that art of a sexual nature can “ provoke thoughts about our dreams, fears, desires, and place in the world"...yes! Well done art that deals with sex exposes the soul of the subject or act in question, not just the naughty bits. I feel that any kind of work on this site that looks at sexuality in a thoughtful or artistic or critical or celebratory, etc. way is certainly appropriate content for an art site, because, of course, this work is actually ART.

A better way to organize deviations?
*Orioto
reports, May 7, 2008
reports, May 7, 2008So, 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.
