I just can't win

So the crazy bitch was banned, hopefully for good this time.

BUT THEN!

The DA mods tell me in my resolution report that two of the stolen deviations violate their copyright policy. I assume they mean their "Naruto characters will always be 12 to us no matter how many canon timeskips or how old you say they are or make them look" policy. Yeah, the one that called all fanartists pedophiles. The funny thing is, THIS is the one they deemed inappropriate:



Fuck you, Deviant Art. No seriously. Fuck you.

Jesus.

Is it still worth it to have your art up at DA if this is how they're going to treat you?

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

I know right? They certainly dont deserve my subscription fee every 3 months. and this is just the latest on the list. but where else am i going to go that facilitates the same kind of gallery and fan interaction?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I don't have a good answer.

I do think, however, that you're popular and good enough that you would take a chunk of your viewers with you if you went to another site.

... that's the one they got pissy about?

I mean you've got some borderline content on DA, lol, but that? OH NOEZ. HE'S TOUCHING HER HAIR. How scandalous!

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

Smutty smutty hair pulling! Or maybe they thought the position of his fingers meant he was throwing gang signs....

What do you think, is Itachi a Blood or a Crip?

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

Totally a Blood. I mean, he has red eyes and come on, just look at that Akatsuki cloak...

to quote a similar, if ancient, travesty,

"Another case of American Blind Justice."
BLIND = operative word.

It's a mistake, clearly. That image could be a hair products ad for said 12 year olds. And be considered too tame. Whatever, DA.

I've always thought that picture was one of your most happy, beautiful ones because of how in-tune Itachi & Sakura look.

I've even used it as my desktop wallpaper--and I have 2 kids under the age of 5. They think it's pretty, too. :)

I'm with you on your last line.

I don't know how anyone could consider such a lovely picture 'inappropriate'.

How in the fucking fuck is this inappropriate when I can go and find pictures of vaginas there any day. There is NOTHING wrong with this and I cannot see how it violates TOS. It doesn't even need a mature rating, you stupid, stupid DA fucks. God fucking dammit they piss me off and make me rage with their fucking retarded (and I never use that word lightly, so if I break it out I think your I.Q. would qualify you for services for being fucking RETARDED) policies that they use unfairly and stupidly and goddamit! I fucking hate fucking DA and their fucking policies.

/rant in cynchick's journal.

Sorry.

How is that inappropriate???

[kate7712.livejournal.com]

I am confused. How the hell does that violate the policy? :(

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

I have no idea...

[korinacaffeine.livejournal.com]

I'd stop paying for subs. Shit's getting ridiculous. Alternately, you could start censoring your pictures in stupidly obvious ways and then link to the picture off-site--something like I did with this (though I'm fairly certain that the off-site link for that is down, lol).

I'm sure they'd take it down for violation of their delicate holier-than-thou hipster sensibilities, aka original art > fanart rules anyway, though. You're popular enough and garner enough attention that admins/mods start to notice you in bad ways.

[korinacaffeine.livejournal.com]

Err, that picture USED to have a link off-site. I probably edited the description when I realized the link was down.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow... just..... wow. Have you tried appealing? For all its worth, any way. But you might get a straight answer about why they took it down.

Cause... seriously? *shakes head* Things have been getting worse and worse there lately...

[(Anonymous)]

it's is some sort of epidemy. Some idiot also put rrikitikitavi's fanfiction in some forum without her permission and nobody helped her... now she deleted all her fics :'(

I can't believe there is people that just live to steal others works, to get some attention or to hurt them.

[(Anonymous)]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

WHUT.

Are they insane?! WTF!! I'm finally starting to see what other people mean when they say dA fucking sucks. And it goddamn does.

Psh

They probably deemed it innapropriate because Sakura's hair is long like how it was when she was twelve. Which is just stupid because she does not in any way look twelve there. What's annoying about them saying that about this picture is how they leave up pictures of a clearly twelve year old Sakura in her original outfit and put her with Kakashi or even worse, Orochimaru, doing naughty naughty things without even having the mature warning label. I mean don't get me wrong I love me some Kakasaku but not when she's twelve!! This is why I haven't posted anything on DA in years, I only have like four pictures up right now because a good deal of my friends were getting their artwork removed for no good reason so I pretty much gave up posting and now just watch people. I personally think that a group of artists need to get together and create our own website like DA but not, sadly I don't know anyone who can program something of that calibur, I took a computer programming class and it all went completely over my head lol
