WTF DA!

by
Amy Posing by bbmbbf
+6


 According to DA, this image is pornographic, I mean this one of the thumbnail, not the other close ups that I posted on IB,  and they suspended my account for a month, do you guys consider it porno?.. I know is something that can be interpreted as sexy, amy rose wears panties in the game itself lol.. it can be provocative, but is not nude not even is depicted in a arousing situation. Damn, the only thing that really cares me is the fact that I was near to close a deal with a customer for a figure/sculpture

I would rate that as "suggestive", not porn.

I would have some mild concerns that Amy might be ruled underage, though, which DeviantArt would probably be a bit harsher on.

Of course it would - any perceived implication of child sexuality would be a huge no-no on a site like DeviantArt

Hey, the site's old! When it was founded "deviant" meant "drawing rude pictures on the sheet you turned in to the teacher".

Hell, if you've ever played Sonic Dash (endless run mobile game), whenever you're playing as Amy and hit the spring to bank your rings, it gives a clear, continuous, and unobstructed view of her panties for a few seconds. They're just being flat out dickwads.

well, you see the pantyshots (just like you do in Sonic Adventure, SA2, SADX, and SA2 Battle) but they aren't  as detailed as this.

Keeran

Amy's canon age is 12. The DA staff have a thing against the sexualization of minor characters, even if they're aged up.

I had a friend  of mine have her pin-up of Herminoe  removed from there because of the same reason. (this was before  the more recent HP movies came out where the characters grew older.

Not porn at all. DA are idiots, and sadly it's almost impossible to handle extreme idiocy.
LeydenTheWolf
6 years, 11 months ago
I think what we need to do is DEMAND change on there so they have to be accepting to EVERYONE, cuz I don't wan this to happen to me (not that I draw porn, but in doing my own art in general) at all. I mean my god, DA is the same one that completely banned my best friend Roninhunt aka Merrick! <=( You couldn't imagine how hurt he was. I don't want this to happen to me, or anyone that's my closest friends that have deviantart. I think people on DA that wants to be accepted (unless if these people are outright racist or psychotic or just plain bullying, then screw them) should unite and fight back. Heck last year in February YouTubers united and fought back against the broken and abused system as well as people who harass people to silence them and take their hand made content. If they hadn't done that this rampage would have continued constantly (idk if it all still does in general, but if #WTFU didn't come up they wouldn't be here right now). So if YouTubers can stand up to the crappy people, all other places can do so to. EVEN Deviantart.
GrayPaulineces
6 years, 11 months ago
I know how it feels, sometimes they just ban accounts solely because of commentary, because apparently one of their convoluted rules applied to commentary as well.
LeydenTheWolf
6 years, 11 months ago
Which is why we need DA to change things around so people like bbmbbf here or even Merrick won't be bashed on like this. As I said, Youtubers were able to make a difference successfully even if it took time. That's why I believe Deviantart users can do the same. It is not like Deviantart has an iron grip on people. Heck, if thousands banded together like YouTubers did, DA can change. Cuz when things like this get out of hand, we can't just RUN. ;w; Or give in. Sometimes.. We gotta FIGHT.
GrayPaulineces
6 years, 11 months ago
The problem is that DA won't listen to petitions or stuff like that.
LeydenTheWolf
6 years, 11 months ago
They would if we make a loud enough noise, and also did something to where they have to listen.
GrayPaulineces
6 years, 11 months ago
Hopefully.
LeydenTheWolf
6 years, 11 months ago
I think the main reason people haven't been nagging at DA about this issue is because either most don't quite give a crap, or a lot of people didn't know this was a case. as I said, for YouTube if people like Mr. Enter, AnimeAmerica, Headhunter Productions, or even Nostalgia Critic didn't spark it up about the copyright abusement, nobody wouldn't even know about it to this very day. Or recently when I watched BlackCriticGuy's video about the box office failure of Ghost in the Shell 2017, he stated that people are outright growing sick and tired of Hollywood's bullcrap and refused to see it this time. Reasons: Whitewashing, Crappy movie adaptations of beloved anime and cartoons, and terrible writers and 'hacks' as he nicknames them. So if either people raise awareness of companies doing such bullcrap, or if people stand up to such, things CAN change. And idc if most say it won't happen, cuz you never... NEEEVER know until you try. ;w;
GrayPaulineces
6 years, 11 months ago
Well, I hope that there actually will be a change in DA. They just discourage other people from using their website.
LeydenTheWolf
6 years, 11 months ago
Yeah. Discouraging people from pursuing their dreams is morally wrong in the end. Which is why us good people need to give them a leg up, and push down those that put their foot on the good people's heads and defend the good people. I know I would.

I don't exactly know DA's rules when it comes to sonic characters but i know for sure nudity is allowed (so long as it's not pronagraphic like boners or sexual fluids showing)

I've seen a few nude pics there both human and furry and there's no issues but maybe they consider sonic characters too young?
LordChaos
6 years, 11 months ago
Not sure it even qualifies as naughty.  About the only thing even suggestive is seeing the panties.  *Droool*  Not that I think seeing panties is evil.

2) I see panty shots a plenty

it might be an underage thing or might be a reputation thing...you have others posted on inkbunny and FurAffinity that DeviantArt doesn't allow but some prick might be a douche (sorry) and "say" something to the higher ups about that (trolling behind the back) ... but that's just me thinking
LordFriez

It's not that it's pornographic, it's that with dA's age restriction policies.
The policy that hit your picture is a very weird one they put into affect last year or so, it is:
If a character that is underage upon creation, it is not allowed to show any adulterated or sexualized content.
No matter if they have been aged up appropriately or not.

So Amy Rose is a character that is under this policy.
My assumption is the booty and panties in your shots that caught their attention.
I've been hit alot on dA with this policy, and most of them were of Amy Rose or Cream the Rabbit.

really? ..... no really? THAT is considered porn? do they not see the clothes? maybe they didnt WANT to see the clothes thats why they labeled it as porn? the people at DA need to be fired, they need new admins who can run the site properly.
Keeran
6 years, 11 months ago
Ok, so there's two types of pornography. The stuff you're used to is what we call "hardcore porn" but  there is such a thing as "softcore porn"  which consists of mainly gravure content. Think of the difference between anime's Ecchi and Hentai.

Pornography  is meant to invoke a form of sensuality  by giving sexual emphasis on certain bodily features.  For example,  if there's sexual emphasis on the buttocks, it's technically considered pornography.
ChaosSabre

kaijubunny
6 years, 11 months ago
I see it as provocative but not pornographic. DA tries to promote itself as a "Family Friendly" site but i call bullshit on that considering there is an option to put something under 18+ however as soon as an artist does that, they can become a target for DA's scrutiny.

the most likely, and BS reason, because even the game show off her panties, is because there is that view of her panties in the image and that she is a minor, she's like 12 or something. I personally think it's fine and think it's crap when they do stuff like that. i also hate the fact that the sonic characters are so young in the first place, but that's just me. sorry your account was suspended
Keeran
6 years, 11 months ago
Ever seen a Sports Illustrated magazine where there's bikinis and such? or have you looked at a Victoria's Secret Magazine catalog? that's pornography too.

Basically there's two types of porn. Hardcore and softcore. Hardcore is something you're used to seeing here. But softcore is basically gravure art that doesn't show genitalia. You'll see butt-shots or panty shots. Think of it as Ecchi vs Hentai  in anime. Ecchi doesn't go full-on pornogrpahic, but there's a lot of sexualization  to invoke sensuality to the viewers.
kaijubunny
6 years, 11 months ago
i am well aware of softcore and hardcore. and as for either of those magazines, i don't read either of them.

You know whats worse? About a year ago, I reported a legit picture that depicted not only porn, but underage porn of sonic characters. Like, character fully nude engaging in sex and everything. The whole 9 yards. And yet what happened?

Nothing. Not a damn thing. Last I checked, the pic was still there.

This is pretty much why I left DA. Its nothing but a pile of garbage now.
Keeran
6 years, 11 months ago
well, most cases, the DA staff tend to go by user-made reports. If you reported that person, their account would have been suspended too.
kitsunelegend
6 years, 11 months ago
Thats the issue though. When I went back to check, it was because I noticed that same user posting actively on someone else's artwork. I had recognized the name and thought, "eh, might as well take a peak and see if its gone" because by then, I had heard of DA's...issues lets say...

And yup. Artwork still there, along with many new pieces of varying degrees of explicitness.

Not to mention, I've seen many, MANY sonic characters drawn nude on DA, and none seem to cause anyone any issues... So my guess is that someone made a righteous stink about bbmbbf and his artwork, and the DA staff just went ahead without really caring.

Honestly, I vote he should leave DA all together. Its nothing but a shell of its former self...
Keeran
6 years, 11 months ago
i honestly don't think the site's worth anything, but I'll  say if you don't report it, it'll most likely stay there. The admins don't actively look  for offending content. It's something I've noticed here too, having  had reported many  users offending the ACP

I'm thinking the admins tend not to do so because there's thousands of submissions and it's often like looking for a needle in a haystack. And  with  things like general maintenance on a large website, would that make it harder? Though (forgive me for this, GR) I'm not sure what
GreenReaper
GreenReaper
  would say about this. I am curious about his opinion in this matter.

I wonder, would it be better if admins and moderators had an active team to browse submissions to see if they violate the ACP or would it be better if the users themselves did the job?
GreenReaper
6 years, 11 months ago
I suspect they made a cost-benefit decision. Outrageous things that could get them into some kind of legal trouble if they continued to be hosted are likely to be reported quickly - and if not, they're obviously not being viewed by any significant amount of people… so are they a problem, really?
Keeran
6 years, 11 months ago
i don't know, Depends on what you mean. I'd expect if  anything offensive would cause legal troubles for them, then they'd be cracking down  on such content. The DA admin's quite lax concerning these things, so I can only suspect it's users submitting violation reports  that get the accounts suspended.

something like this compared to  what I've seen on DA that's much worse (that violates their ToS ) is kind of fishy to me since there's a lot more attention given to one person and not to "rulebreakers" in general.

GreenReaper
6 years, 11 months ago
In general, legal troubles only come as a host if you are aware of a problem and do nothing. If you're not aware, there's no problem. Obviously if your site is clearly used purely to host [illegal stuff X] that's not going to fly.

They recently got sold to Wix.com, so maybe they're cracking down now that they're part of a bigger corporate body?
Riolumon01
6 years, 11 months ago
I really hate people who compare DA to its "Former self" its not the staffs fault. Do you know how many people use DA? How many people report and whine stuff on DA everyday? And lets not forget the fact they have irl stuff to do aswell. Do you think you can handle all of that? DA is not at fault and nore is the admins. Don't blame the innocent for others mistakes.

I know I am kinda being a white knight for DA here but I have seen it so much since the "Core war" On DA.
GreenReaper
6 years, 11 months ago
Pfft. That was nothing compared to the original Core War.

It does show the point that many of DA's users are paying customers now, though.
Riolumon01

I reported a deviant named Nathan-Darkson for bullying and harassing my friend Stephie (xxTemmiegamingxx) and guess what? NOT A DARN THING was done. Not a goddamn thing.
Riolumon01
6 years, 11 months ago
Again overwhelmed and understaffed. Also on the internet Bullying is a complex thing. So there were probably some holes in your report. They possible went and looked the bastard lied his way to the truth and he got away with it.
TehProGai
6 years, 11 months ago
Even if the site staff were being critical about enforcing the rules, chances are good that you got reported by an old or current flame.

I'm sure you know about Dreamkeepers since you've been doing a lot of work with that franchise for a few months now. The original creators are still a bit obscure in the indie comic industry and even they suffered from this. A nude turnaround reference sheet of their main female characters was taken down because some of them happen to be under 18. Some fan artists of the series also had some tasteful art taken down. Goes to show that if you have enemies, they will gladly manipulate the rules against you.
Keeran
6 years, 11 months ago
I would consider it "softcore porn" if anything. Basically,  I put myself in this scenario. If I'm at work and i'm looking at it,  what would my co-workers or boss think I'm doing?" Or imagine if I'm at school  looking for art references. Is that something I want my child students to see?"

On DeviantArt, this is an important question to ask because many professional artists and companies utilize the site  as well, and anything pornographic (including  gravure images of women in undergarments or swimsuits) could bring negative light on a proffessional field. So that's why DeviantArt is more strict on images like that.

Also,  I'll have to ask,  did you set the rating to "mature" too? that is also important as their content rating system is different than from here.

And like I told FibS earlier,  the DA staf is strict against the sexualization of characters who are canonically minors, even if they're "aged up"  and Amy's canonical age is 12.

What I don't get tho.. is why did you get banned for porn...... if DA is filled with porn... even nude ppl.... hmmmm

this is why I stick with selective posting, IB is mostly okay with most things, while FA, and DA like to be really picky with things that are adult content...... especially DA, if your gonna have a adult tag you might as well have ''THE ADULT TAG'' in the FaQ they say no adult art is allowed but there are naked and almost suggestive works there, and im not talking like figure paints/sketches, I mean litterally suggestive, this image has no reason to be flagged at all.

but hey its there site so its whatever, its why I stopped posting on that site....

They may not like the idea of panty shots featuring a minor, but they certainly don't understand the meaning of the term "pornographic."

I'm on the verge of deleting my DA gallery altogether.  In my case it's large due to technical difficulties, but I'm not at all impressed with their policies, either.

I'm no authority on DA's rating system since I avoid that site as much as humanly possible.  In relation to IB's rating system, if this were my art, I'd probably rate it as "Mature" due to "light sexual themes", but by god it certainly isn't porn.  "Sex and the City" had far more graphic content in it bordering on "softcore", and that series premiered in the late 90s.  Yes, you can see the shape of Amy's butt through her panties, but I guess some non-furry got "the weirdest boner", hated himself, and decided to report the art. xD I wouldn't put it above any of the plethora of idiots on DA to do such a thing.

You're not the only who had this happen to you. There's this brony who makes fanart of spike having oral sex with the mane six, both in Equestria girls form and in pony form. Devianart got him to take them off his account. No nudity was shown, but he did outright say that they were having oral sex with no mature filter. This, however, is pretty different because I've seen a lot of art with girls in their underwear, even ones that are completely naked. Maybe Devianart think that Amy is very young or something, I don't know.

There is no way that is porn. Suggestive at best. I would challenge it and find out exactly why they consider it porn. Sucks you weren't able to close that deal with the potential customer though. Hopefully you get this crap taken care of sooner then later.
WhiteMageTifa
6 years, 11 months ago
At best it suggestive  but we have to remember Amy rose is 12 years old and kinda sexualizing an underage character might have gotten you suspended. this is just me assuming since i don't know who reported it. there a lot of trolls  on DA. and FA has a no underage character porn law unless that changed.  

I think it wrong for them to  suspend you i mean it not really porn it just  very very suggestive i would try not to post any art like that, unless it too late and DA prema banned you.  honestly i had gotten on their bad side in the past myself.

you never know what mods are thinking or users that report it. I hope for the best for you and it sucks becuase this is  a really nice piece it sad that DA couldn't see passt whatever they assume about it being to see how well done it was.

I'm gonna say that it is because of Amy being 12 years old and DA not wanting minors depicted in pictures like this. I know on FA that if you age up the character, then it is okay, but I don't think that would work on DA.
It's probably best to just show your safest SFW pieces on there. I have seen plenty of nude images on DA though.

Best Sonic Porn EVER! Proof: The picture was clearly exciting a (few) DA staff member(s) too much and claimed it porn-worthy! (/j.k.)
Sorry about your situation! Their house, their rules...i guess.

Porn? In no way. If my memory doesn´t fail me, there´s the one or other shot like this in Sonic X; so how is this porn?! That´s "ridonkolous, if you know what I mean." ;-)

DA sucks -.-
DA don't like Furry art. But you can find there so much photos of pussys....

You have to remember the difference between art and porn:
* Art == what I like
* Porn == what you like

Shove them images of OFFICIAL GAMES AND ANIME where the artist and devs intentionally gives us panty shots.

That's their call, but they arguably couldn't put those on DA because they're "porn".
Of course Inkbunny would do the same for any number of things if it doesn't meet the policy.

http://theluckynote827.deviantart.com/art/Sally-and-Am... And how is THIS any safer? DA likes to rig things against who they hate.

maybe that image just went under the radar..  like most sonic porn posted there..

Unlikely. For one, if you search "artistic nude" you'll find a load of pussy among a sea of genuinely artistic nudes
GreenReaper

Well, you can't see any significant area of their groins for starters. bbmbbf's is looking right up under their tail. Taking such pictures in real life is illegal in some places, although I don't think there is a great amount of justification for that extending to fictional characters.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Artistic-Nude-575933828 I object. And this is the first "page" of Artistic Nude.

Ah, but a) she's not 12, and b) it clearly says it is artistic, not porn! Plus she probably didn't just get photographed secretly like that.

What I mean is that there IS explicit images in DA that are worse than the benchmark picture of a figurine that is DRESSED. Are you SERIOUSLY defending Deviant Arts now, even though they are frequently on a crusade against furries?!

I am explaining to you, from the perspective of an IB staff member, how that decision may have come about. I bet the same would've happened if there was a photograph of a human 12-year-old in the same situation.

I do not personally think it is a good decision, but I have an idea of the laws and commercial considerations causing DeviantArt to make it.

Managing a big community.. (hugh in the case of DA) is complicated. .it was a pain in the ass to be admin of my own forum back in the days of the original palcomix forum (had 12 000 members only..  )  people started to questioning each decition, it was like people was never happy, I felt that everyone was hating me. so I gave the admin to other people.. and fans quickly destroyed my admins after few months,  I had like 3 before Kumiko, all them quit of the job badly..  It requred someone with the special kindness of Marybell/Kumiko to keep the people calm, at least until a hacker destroyed our server and databases..  few years later we created a new forum but is not the circus that the original was...

I understand sometimes admins decitions, some of them just surrender to the pressure.. must for sure I received lot of banning reports from my usual trolls (read the new journal I created today)  so the easier way is just to let them win.   of course a good moderator / admin, will investigate.. follow multiple threads ..read many user's page to find who was right in a discussion, then again, you have to control thousends of users.. who wants to do that?.   specially with a drama magnet like me and my controvertial work.   I was banned from DA before.. but this banning looks specially harsh because, was one month ban, because the "porno" label sounds too exagerated for a panty shot.  because aplying the "minor" or "underage" character to a no existent in real life antropromorphic cartoon hedgehog character with a imposible head size sounds a little too ridiculous..  I can undesrtand if was more human like character..  but this?.. heh..

People are cracking down on upskirts in all walks of life!

Perhaps the pendulum will swing back again in time, but for now it seems to be moving towards a more socially-conservative time.

I've seen far more pornographic images on DA than this. This is more along the lines of fanservice in anime

Just gonna say this. It was allowed with Ribbon from Kirby 64, an E rated game back when Nintendo censored death. Ribbon also may be the game's equivalent of a small child. If it made it past THAT radar, then why not Amy Rose on Deviantart?
GreenReaper

Right, but presumably Ribbon is not canonically 12. That's the problem, game makers trying to appeal to their core audience by making their characters a similar age. (Never mind that they are not human...)

yeah DA is just screwing with you I mean I know there actual groups that show off porn on the site. not hardcore but still full on tits and crotch shots. there is no point trying to find logic in the decision there simply is none.

Maybe you should do up a safer version with Amy wearing shorts under the dress! Maybe go the Minnie Mouse route.
