I had a surprise today : One of my my submitted image has been removed by the deviant art staff '
due to a violation of DeviantArt policy or because its theme or content was judged unacceptable'*...
Okay, I can understand that '
Your DeviantArt submissions must obey certain guidelines and restrictions.'*
But this raises some thoughts :
I submitted this deviation in 2012 ... so why waiting so long if you consider it as offensive ? Is the state of mind on D.A. changing to something more 'conservative' or puritanical ?
'The administrator who deleted your deviation added the following:
A member of staff has reviewed a report concerning this deviation and has found that the work contained a depiction of a penis which is considered to be "erect".'*
Well, well, well ... a penis ... erect ...
I have to say that I see more of a gun than an erected penis and, anyways, I consider a gun much more dangerous and reprehensible than a penis EXCEPT in a rape situation, which is the meaning of my message, by the way .
This is a link to the removed image, so you can make your own opinion

Anyways, guys and girls, have fun, be creative and, most of all remember that '
Your DeviantArt submissions must obey certain guidelines and restrictions.'*
