I was looking through some of the Stuff Pete Starwalt had on this site before they kicked him off and I don't get it. So I sent deviantart customer care the following note:

Hey Deviantart!
There was an artist here !Starwalt (Peter Starwalt) who was banned from the site, I believe it was for his deviation "Fun With Porn", the title was aggressive I know but the content was no worse (and actually quite tamer) than MANY other items posted on the site. And a 'mature content' filter was in place, so whatever complaint was made about it, was done so by someone who was well aware of what the content could potentially be. This guy was a GOOD artist and he drew CARICATURES of nude women...and got kicked off the site.
I don't get it, there are photographs here of men dressed as animals, with their genitals hanging out! Women, who aren't just nude but borderline pornographic...drawings of licensed characters who are engaging in all sorts of horrifying sexual acts. Also, this place holds some of the most brutally violent pieces I've ever seen!

But, this is an art site, right? Not everything is for everyone, I don't care for certain things so I simply don't seek them out. I figured this site was supposed to be considered almost a safe-haven for artists of ALL styles/genres/interests. Not a place where a perfectly good artist gets kicked off because someone doesn't like the title and/or content of the artist's deviation. If I am wrong about any of the above, I apologize and thank you so much for your time!

Thanks again,

Andy Taylor

The response sent to me was something like, 'I cannot discuss other deviants with you.' From someone who's profile picture was a woman with blood all over her face! And I don't feel that that in any way addresses anything in the note. I wasn't asking about him. They also sent a link to their porn policy, which oddly enough is like 30% of the shit I see on here.Do I just have too much time to kill? This isn't a big deal to me, I just don't get it.
