Have you noticed in a few of those sources that the definition says "[...] especially sexual behavior" or "or sexual behavior"?
That implies that "deviant" doesn't always mean sexual behavior. It can be used to describe someone or something as different, strange, weird, odd, doesn't follow social norms, etc. In other words...An oddball, an eccentric, a misfit, etc.
"That doesn't prove anything! It's called 'DEVIANT'art for a reason!"
...Uh, yeah it does? It's the dictionary. You can't disagree with dictionaries, kiddo. What the dictionary says is pretty 100% factual, so...yeah, it really does prove you wrong. Sorry.
You're taking the site's name way too literally, only because you've chosen to follow just one definition that fits your personal worldview, while ignoring the other definitions.
If the site was really implying sexual "deviant" behavior, then why are the admins removing your work for pornographic violations? Seems to me that the admins don't share the same belief as you do about what the meaning of "deviant" is in the name. It's their site, after all. They're the ones who make the rules and they're also the ones who decide which meaning of "deviant" they're using.
...Not you.
