DeviantART's new mature content policy.
Permalink   


DeviantART now blocks (whether you are a member or not) mature content until you are 18 years of age. Now this kind of makes me mad because now I can not view some of the deviations on my watch list and even one of my own pieces of artwork. Do not get me wrong, I am not a sick person that looks up hardcore porn, but I do watch people like Whitedog2, Yami-shin, and Kaejae's WLU series. It just really got my blood boiling when I found out that I am unable to look at my own piece of art, something I created and should have more rights than anyone else on the website to look at. I sent a complaint about it to the people of the website, heh, like that'll do anything.

This really just makes me mad, sorry if I wasted your time with this, but I really needed to vent.

Try to change your year of birth, it should work. ;)
It's what I did in sites like this when I was still under 18 and never had any kind of problem whatsoever.

Heh, I suppose they did that to prevent people from using this trick...they're smarter than the dudes on SheezyArt were...haha.
Well then, the only thing you can do is changing account.

Well I only have to wait for 3 weeks until I can turn 18. And yes, I can't look at my own fan fictions now!

I dislike it too. I mean, I can understand not wanting younger (or immature) people to look at more mature artworks, but making it so that you can't even look at your own friggin' art? That's kind of ridiculous...

Yeah, that's pretty ironic. It's like a 10 year old starring in an R rated movie and then not being able to watch it when it was done. (Which I think does happen)

That is pretty dumb. You could try making a petition on gopetition.com and show it to DA, you've plenty of people backing you.

They recently changed the Policy. Now the ones with the 'Red Flag' are the ones people over 18 can view. Which still sucks.
