Description
I'm not marking this as mature. Disliking something is not itself deserving of a mature tag, nor is having an opinion that some folks don't like, be it political, religious or any other type of opinion.[dA update] Eclipsing deviantARTEverything I'm about to say is merely my own observations, however right or wrong those observations may or may not be. So take this more as my opinion than fact, until stronger evidence comes along.
I've been noticing a very slow but increasing level of censorship occurring on deviantART by the staff. I've already made journals about some of this stuff, but the most recent one I've seen can be found here:
It has become a growing trend that actual bullies are allowed to operate here with impunity, where as those who might defend themselves against these bullies are punished by the staff. Hell, just recently I had some people accusing me of "hateful propaganda campaigns of misinformation" simply just because I commented about some of the strange experiences with Eclipse people have been reporting, while also commenting on the usual Orwellian apathy many of us have become increasingly used to by the deviantART Staff. This also lead to one of my deviations being

Another way to force through what they want, and screw the users.
It's obvious this could be abused!

Thats different than having it come up as a correspondence message because it got flagged. Hopefully you can see the difference between the "mature? yes / no" option when you upload something, and having it flagged after the fact?

Oh, then that's different if its after the fact and you didn't accidentally pick the wrong choice when filling out the upload page.

Give A Bully An Inch ...... and they will take a mile.
Anyone who thinks that giant corporations have the right to do this to the public, should just block me right now. Seriously. Do it.
For everyone else -- if you think Eclipse is bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.

I had the same issue several months ago with my antipornography stamps. Somebody has requested from me to censor them. Mintaka-TK has also experienced the same issue too with having half of her stamps tagged as mature. Hypersensitive brats shouldn't be allowed to have an Internet router installed in their house. Either that or amputate their fingers.

Eventually, yes. On the software level, the more advanced the censorship measures, the more expensive it is to create, deploy and maintain. This is why Youtube can practically snap their fingers and create new censorship measures almost over night, because they make more in an hour than most of us would ever make in our lives even if we lived to be 500. With companies like deviantART, it takes them longer because they have nowhere near the financial reach. It would be my guess that they are looking for leftist-minded entrepreneurs to invest in deviantART towards the goal of making it more "wholesome" in that dystopian Orwellian 1984 Brave New World Eyes Wide Shut kind of way.
I have no way of knowing the future anymore than anyone else here on dA, but in my opinion from my perspective, this does appear to be their desired trajectory. Speaking of YouTube, I got my very first hate speech strike on there the other week. LOL!

I don't know what you mean by that. I do not use Eclipse at all period. The action of simply admitting that you do not like Eclipse, is being censored. I'm not sure how else I can explain it to you.

I had a similar experience. One comment chain confirmed my suspicion that this now happens any time somebody flags an item as needing a mature tag: Random Acts of CensorshipAfter getting home from work, I found this notification under correspondence:Β Β What is going on here? I have seen close calls on whether a mature tag is required. This is not one of them. It looks as though DeviantArt decided to randomly flag certain deviations as needing a mature tag. I do not believe that this serves whatever purpose it is supposed to serve.

deviantART, despite anything they might virtue signal, has for awhile now done the best they can to enable trolls, bullies and other damaging elements. They don't need to do much themselves if they know that a small army of idiots will do it for them. They merely need to allow that army to do it's work, all by itself. This then also gives the staff plausible deniability.Β

They also define mature as concept or speech that might not be suitable for those under 18, regardless of if they have to do with naked humans or not. As a form of political correctness and censorship -- dA is doing a tactic that YouTube started doing awhile back: labeling any dissenting opinions as allegedly being mature. For deviantART, it makes it so the content can not be viewed by anyone outside of the website, nor anyone inside the website below the age of 18.Β

[dA Update] Growing Concerns on deviantART?UPDATED 2019-08-27
When I originally posted this journal, it didn't get much interest from the deviantART Community because the deviantART Staff had not yet pissed off enough people. Now that Eclipse has become The Phantom Menace of the deviantART Galaxy -- I'm going to re-launch this journal out to my watchers and see if it is taken more seriously the second time around. Everything I explained below, still applies. If I get enough interest this time, I'll take it to the next stage in a near-future journal.Β
So, Round #2! Lets see if this time it is any better
This article is being posted to offer some solutions to a few things. No, not suggestions for solutions that the deviantAPATHY Staff will ignore and not implement, but some actual solutions to address some of the growing concerns I've been seeing, and some solutions that don't require dA Staff interv
Though I'm starting to wonder how many people who complain about this stuff actually care about the community, or only actually care about complaining. I'm not saying you don't care about the community, just speaking generally.Β

Ive been here since 2006, and ive seen alot of crap go down hill fast here..
Hell the Communisit party of DA now have admins that will shill to them and get you banned on this website for whatever reasons, but if they make art about the milkshaking of political opponets and promoting terrorisim DA does absolutely nothing at all, yet if someone dares call the shills and shws out then that super hate speech deservibg of 1984 IGNSOC treatment...
At this point i think there is not much worth in saving it...its a website going the woke path and I have had my long run here...hell if they ban me I wouldn't give a crap at this point since they banned a few of my allies for "wrong think," too many times now...

Whats happening with Eclipse is only a small part of lots of things happening on a more global scale. We can expect Clown world to continue to ramp up to whatever levels of insanity the human race decides they will tolerate, until they decide they will not tolerate it anymore.Β
