Ever since September 2023 DeviantArt has been going through hell and it's negatively affecting the community, ever since the 2hole trolls and policy fiasco it's left alot of users upset:

https://www.deviantartsupport.com/kb/en/article/what-is-deviantarts-policy-around-sexual-erotic-and-fetish-themes

According to these rules we aren't allowed to post stuff regarding quote un-quote "underage content" but it's not just that but regardless of any age any character is they'll get taken down regardless and also whether or not they be 18 or older we should be allowed to post anything we please, sure some of it is considered gross and fetish content but DeviantArt is a special community that has existed since 2000 and since then we've been allowed to post anything fetish or not and frankly that's not a crime we have the rights to post anything we want and no trolls or policies should stop us from doing that.

Other beloved artists such as Navsaka and Juacoproductionsarts have been heavily affected by this:

It's not just them but if you're a DA user then you're friend or some other artist you like alot is being affected and having their art taken down then they're probably upset too that they're hard work is getting thrown away like it's going against they're rules when it's not, since then people have moved to other art sites like furaffinity,Pixiv, or Newgrounds while those site are fine but still DA is just like those sites and that we should post anything we please, It doesn't matter whether it’s fetish or underage we have the rights to post what please as art is art it doesn't harm anyone or anything and that DA is a special community for all artists alike.
