DeviantArt is too biased against Yaoi authors and artists, while allowing supposedly "artistic" nude photos on the site. I have been suspended on unfair grounds, which have also been imposed on too many of my fellow artists.

We would like to be left alone, to submit art we draw, and not become victimised on an artistic site that allows photos of nude women and men, but not two men together, fully clothed.

Remember: Love knows no gender. So why discriminate?

    • I've always wondered how pictures of masturbating women constitutes 'art' while an artistly drawn male nude is porn on DA.

    • This seriously needs dealing with. I'm tired of black and white photos of vaginas getting Daily Deviations while a drawing of boys kissing gets reported and deleted. It's a stupid bias and needs dealing with.

    • I've seen some disturbing images on dA featuring sexually nude women that were popular while artists who post men tremble in fear or persecution---that's really not cool.

    • I have seen this time and time again, naked women on DeviantArt in very sexually explicit situations or poses being praised, while art of two males being fully clothed and sometimes doing nothing more than hugging and being labled a violation of pornography policies. I love this site, and I love this community, but I'm sick of the constant discrimination towards yaoi and male homosexual art. Please, allow equality in your decisions of what's appropriate and what's not.

    • What's wrong with artistic nudity? Male or female? Allow both or none, but be consistent.
