Description
I'm passionate enough to speak out on few things, but this is one of them. If you don't like a certain piece of art, DON'T LOOK AT IT. If you report or otherwise try to take down or demean a piece of art because you personally don't approve of the subject matter, you're not an artist and you shouldn't be looking at things that artists do.If you approve, here's this stamp for you. Feel free to use it anywhere you want.

In a way... that's true.
But if this applies to other arts, then this can't be right. For the most part, it shouldn't be censored... but sometimes, the art becomes very inappropriate. Now video games and TV is art, and some of these things I've seen and played is just wrong on many levels. The JP Tokyo Mew-Mew, um... this Square RPG that just escaped my mind, and some scenes in Sailor Moon S and Super S regarding Rini/Chibi-usa. I know cultural differences, but even regarding JP standards, it's just to ridiculous.
Okay, it's mostly just scripting... butwriting is art... right? Is Translation art as well?

This applies to any form of art, wether it be paintings, to television, to video games.

No... I don't think so.
Mostly yes, but not all. Some HAVE to be censored because it's wrong in many levels. Some scenes in Super S and/or S (Sailor Moon) regarding Rini is wrong... it regards the bathtub...

Eh? What happened?

Okay, not Super S... it's not wrong... well... maybe a bit. The Bathtub sequences with Rini and Serena did seem weird, but nothing weird happened... unless I'm blind... which I could be... or not.
but... Square-Enix's Bravery Default is the big one... some sequences with the young characters is wrong, and the localization process was most appropriate here. Skimpy clothing and innuendoes... on the under 18 age... is wrong... there is no way around that in international releases.

I firmly believe all art should not be censored, no matter how taboo or how strong the stigma against it is.

Yeah I don't like censored art either.People aren't stupid they can still tell what's going on so I really don't see the point of it.Plus it makes the art look really bad.I understand it's the DA rules so they have to cover it but if it's just nude then I don't see what's so wrong about it if they are not even doing anything.So I guess that's what cropping is for. I really like this stamp so I am going to favorite it thank you for making it!<3

May I quote you in an essay about censorship in the arts and media that I'm doing for English 4? You're completely supporting my opinion.

i highly approve, unless it's sexual. There's still children on here.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's what the 'mature content' thing is for.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, thats what I ment. I saw a photo of two men having sex on here, without a censore on it...I asked them to put it on, they get mad and block me :/

>.< Those people are immature and ruin it for the rest of us, yes.

i do agree on this. if someone is so sensative over a little skin in a professionally shot photograph then they shouldn't even be on an art site, because that indeed is ART. if someone draws the female body with elegance and beauty or the male body with feirce and carismatic features, that too is considered art.

Includingly to report a deviation, just because you dont approve the theme.
π: 0 β©: 2
Yes, I hate that.

i mostly agree a website like DA shouldn't have a censor, if i don't like something i can always skip it. for me the only exceptions for it are "triggering" material. i wish DA had a more dynamic censoring system where you could change your settings to reflect exactly what you don't wish to see automatically.
also some of the censorship is ridiculous, you can curse on DA but you can't in a stamp without it ending up censored, makes no sense to me.

Old comment is old.
I know you don't use this account, but this needs to be said. Yes censorship is neccisary for some things, but not art.

Safety of who?

Down with censorship!! I especially hate those that demean others and hate people for what they draw.

I agree with this stamp,but the one thing I wonder is where is the line between artistic nude and pornography?
π: 0 β©: 1
Truly,If on person says its art,its art.So,there really is none.

lol wow, old comment is old

Well,this is an adult community.So,if a kid comes on here,they have been warned about the fact that there are things they may not want to see and they shouldn't be here if their under age.So,it shouldn't matter much.
π: 0 β©: 2
I think the line should be drawn with the Mature Content tag. If a child comes on here and tries to view something inappropriate, that's on them. Any Deviant with half a mind, will place the appropriate mature content ratings on an upload, to prevent said children from viewing said material. Anything and everything contained within the Mature Content ratings, is an Adult Community. As for material outside of the ratings, it's an open and public world, and viewers young and old should approach the site with caution, as some deviants don't have the sense to rate their work accordingly.

Yes,but even if the things not truly bad,people will say it is.Take [link] for example.It's a great peice,not truly sexual at all,and people say it is.So tell me,how do you tell if things need a filter?Because different people think differently.

You're absolutely right. Gorgeous example, by the way. But just to silence the catholic parents out there who think any shown skin above the knees will get you sent to hell, I'd at least place the filter on genitals/breasts. The truth is, society has sped up significantly in the last few decades. Children are getting pregnant at 13, 12 year old girls are developing breasts, songs on mainstream radio are obviously about sex, without even watering it down for young listeners. My 7 year old sister sings Katy Perry's ET, without a care in the world. For anyone reading this that doesn't know that song, it's about Katy Perry's alien sex fantasies. There's another song that's outright talking about sex, no pulling punches, but I forgot what it's called. The media greatly affects it's viewers. I think that within the next few decades, censors on art and media will be unnecessary, since everywhere you look, even now, is bare skin, nudity, and suggestive themes. It will only get worse...
But obvious things like breasts and genitals, should at least be filtered, so you can't just get on here and BAM breasts in the homepage.
