Deviantart why

This site should be closed! As many wrong things on the internet this site also should be closed, because it's twisted, wrong and sick place. Everything there is backwards! This place isn't appropriate for anyone! Selfishness, leeches and greediness is on every corner on this site and at the top of it ridiculous justice warriors are roaming, claiming they fight for justice.

While sometimes they do something good, most of the times justice warriors take things out of the context, making one side look bad and the other side look good, although fault is at both sides and falsely accuse people, who got nothing to do with crimes. You shouldn't believe everything these justice warriors say, because there are times when these justice warriors aren't any better than liars or even bullies.

Children should stay away from it! The only thing your child can learn here is how to insult people and commit crimes like destroying other people's reputation and bullying! Don't let yourselves be fooled by the positive reviews about this site. At best it's only one or two years like that. After that hell begins and you'll see that people you called friends are jerks and bullies. Speaking of bullies. Be careful, because even a bully on this site is capable to pretend as your friendly and supportive friend, who encourages you, but later destroys your courage and trust in other people just because you didn't fit in bully's sick expectations.

Adult Written by Sim M. July 9, Very bad place, probably one of the worst you can find More than a year ago somebody bullied me through notes.

I reported this person to administration. They did nothing to stop it. I left this site, because I think it's unacceptable that deviantART administration does nothing to stop bully only because bully has core membership. Few days ago I went to this site to see if something's changed.

Turns out that while I moved on and keep living my life, the same bully with it's supporters are falsely accusing me of crimes I haven't committed and telling people lies about my life. Once again deviantART administration does nothing to stop this. Common sense doesn't exist on this site, only hypocrisy and arrogance. I have impression some people there think that art making and uploading there somehow excuses false accusations and lies, they even think their reputation is enough to prove their accusations.

Find better site than deviantART, because it's not art site any longer. It's site for liars and bullies only, who are making accusation competition, trying to destroy anybody's reputation. Any decent human being, who acts like a human and doesn't pretend to be something this person isn't is hunted like a wild animal and chased with accusations almost in the same manner how people were chased during witch trial times.

Although this is 21st century, the medieval obscurantism still exists there. I believe there are some truly nice and kind people, but looking for such people is like searching for a needle in a haystack. I would highly recommend for parents to keep children away from this place.

There's nothing worthy on this site. Adult Written by Steve S July 21, This place is beyond terrible! Popularity in this site means you can do whatever you want, that includes bullying others and spreading rumors about other people! Popular artists bullies people and you can report them as much as you wish to admins, they won't care about it. In best case you'll hear suggestion to block! You think it helps? No, because then it ends with rumor spreading and admins won't even care about this!

They'll do nothing to stop this, because they don't care how consequences of such bullying can affect victim's entire life! If you or your child has been bullied on this site and admins of this site doesn't care about it, then I encourage you and suggest you to report this site to any authority, which fights against bullying on the internet, because it seems that admins of this site supports bullying!

Gather evidence, which proves admins doesn't care about it and evidence, which proves you were bullied, then give this evidence to any authority, which responds on such cases! If you and your child still decide to set foot on this site, despite of what I said then be there only because of art you post there or because of art you like to watch, depends if you're artist or someone, who just watches other artists! Avoid communication with people you don't know there as much as possible.

Be polite enough, but don't hold high hopes you'll make new friends there, because only small amount of people there are good friends and it's almost impossible to determine, which one is good friend and which one is bad friend.

Usually their true faces shows up after a year and then you can see ugly reality that out of people you called friends are really friends. Read my mind 1. Parent Written by Samuel R. July 7, A Fetish Playground DeviantArt should simply be locked away in a fortress that children and others can't get to! Sure it can have good artwork that comes in now and then. Ranging from half-naked women to the murder of cartoon men these things are accepted as being normal everyday material on the website and often the staff don't take action against your reports because it doesn't go against their rules, why is it not sexual enough?

It feels like the staff actually don't care. It's ironic because the website clearly breaks one of the rules against over-sexualised images or sexual based humour which is clearly present as an entire community genre! Unsurprisingly people get away with showing nude characters who have tape over their breasts and many more horrific things.

Additionally, if you report too much as if you couldn't you will automatically have your report tool removed for a month or permanently I lost mine! Often I've seen people who post constant images about one person. Don't be surprised to see themes around alcohol, drugs and smoking, especially if it's a meme. It's extremely difficult talking sense to these people because they're most likely too far gone and will come up with anything to justify themselves.

Lots of swearing is present in some artworks or users, and in typical chats. The entire website is centred around purchases, including buying artworks or features for your page or group. Simply don't make an account on this website EVER. It's dangerous for you and others too! I will add that I have received unwanted sexual tracking cookies from random pages. It's a rare occurance.

Helped me decide 1. Had useful details. I go there too, and submit drawings of my own characters, but the only ones who see it are my friends. An original drawing on deviantart: " Website in which people like Bleedman , Snapesnogger, kris-wilson or Purplekecleon's became famous, regardless if their art it's nice or shitty. Is an art community, in which people registers for uploading pictures. Like fotolog or photobucket, but for art.

Generally good artists that draw original art in there are very unknown and rarely become popular. In general is a good website when you are looking for fanart, or a place for uploading fanart.

Tracing is allowed by the admins, but rejected by a good part of the community. And not always the best deviations get to the "daily deviation" prize. Sometimes is used too for hosting pictured of naked bodies showing their genitals. If is a male guy and the account is found, he will be banned.
