Fascism

Wed Jan 25, 2006, 12:50 PM
I said more or less the same thing in response to Wolf's journal, but it was a sentiment I thought bore repeating.

A lot of people on DA complain about the strict guidelines on "sexually suggestive" images. Now, I myself don't have a huge problem with this. This isn't an adults only community, and there's a fine line between art and porn that I think needs to be observed. On the other hand, the problem with fine lines is that nobody can ever agree on where exactly they are.

The odd thing, to me, is that I keep hearing about people being told their -drawings- are too sexually suggestive and being forced to take them down. On the other hand, -every single day- there's at least one nude -photo- on the "Daily Deviation." Today there's a picture of a guy with razor blades tied to his fingers fondling some girl's tit, and that gets -props- for being a fetish image. Wolf had to take down an image of a girl being held by an animate jumpsuit because it was touching her breast.

So what does this tell us children? The DA moderators are cracking down on artists to try and look like the site isn't about pornography, but letting the real porn go because otherwise they wouldn't have an easy source of wanking material? Well, that can't really be proven...

... but, to paraphrase a Monty Python sketch, "It IS, in the way that fascism is, and that justice isn't."
