Wait when did DeviantArt start doing this?

So I log into my DA account for the 1st time in quite awhile and I see this:

Huh?! When did this become a rule? May as well shut down the whole website if you’re going that direction. Sadly, I bet I know who’s behind this nonsense:

Ekaterina Lisina is who I think did this stuff btw.

Photoshopped stuff of celebrities lol. It was fine before, now it’s not.

It's because they've become fuckers. Banned me for posting a gif of a tickle vid. No ability to rectify the situation or say I'm sorry, just boom done. I told them if they want to be that way about it they will never make another dollar off me. Not then obviously and unfortunately any content creators either as that would require me to give them money first and be a member.

It's almost as if these famous people and creators want to have their cake and eat it too. There's an easy solution too. Don't want people to use your stuff or image in any way then don't become famous or a creator.

For me the biggest part of this is if you were doing something on DA where you were expecting to make money at the expense of someone else, absolutely not okay. But you're posting stuff you won't make anything off of and won't harm anyone in doing it, seriously? They're going to have a problem with that?

Can't disagree with any of this. They're going the way of Tumblr honestly.

Guys, when you used photoshopped images of actual people, it is reportable because it is their likeness used in sexual content. Imagine someone pulling your picture off of social media and posting it in lewd content. I imagine you would not appreciate that.

I think it started sometime last year, or at least a remember a few creators suddenly mentioning it.

IDK. DeviantArt is pretty mixed. Sometimes you fail to post drawings of boobs, othertimes you can post real vaginas.
