I'm still fighting it myself, too. I managed to get them to delete a pic from...I think it was Nicotine Desire, whose gallery is filled with questionable bondage content. This one was...well, it looked like urination, to be completely blunt and honest. She posted a journal complaining that it got deleted, like the mods were being uber-conservative prudes, but really, it was gross.

Science Your Brains Out!

I had a pic deleted a long time ago, myself. It was along the same as yours. Nothing was shown at all, but it got deleted anyways.

I say power to you. If you can get this turned around it'll be a step forward. DA's had a double standard for a loooong time :/

I dunno, in this case, it just sounds like DA is against shounen-ai. *shot*
Some people may try to dodge past the issue, saying it's just a little nudity art. Which I don't mind, but if your hands are in your underwear, then something is wrong. So keep fighting it, because I'm sure they won't be able to hold out much longer.

I'm Kouji Minamoto in dA's Digimon Crew.

Wow. Just wow, dA. *shakes head* Bet you anything it's because they think that that woman clearly masturbating is "artistic nudity". They haven't changed one bit. (Remember ages ago when every single featured deviation WAS nudity? So very very dumb...)

[link] ok this one you can make an argument for but the second one you report the hands are just standing there from my view point.

Now you pics i'm afraid is just too much clear sex

Your picture makes it much more obvious that they're having sex. While both examples you give have hand to genital contact and there's definitely a high chance the photographers wanted to arouse the viewer doesn't mean that it's obvious the subjects are having sex.

However in the bottom left panel of your comic it is very obvious the two are having sex, genitals don't need to be showing for the viewer to be 100% sure what's going on.

Being a gay man involves too much penis.

SCIENCE WILL HELP LESBIANISM - =OuroborosCobra

The problem is while my image hints at the idea, according to DA's rules you have to have a clear depiction. And by "clear" this means you have to actually physically SEE the genitals or hands, genitals, objects, or oral must be shown coming into contact with genitals.

In the photos you can actually see their genitals coming into contact. In my image you never see the genitals coming into contact with anything. That's the point I'm trying to make. At this point, how is my image more offensive than those images? I'm calling this a double standard.

"HA! HA! HA! Cookies on dowells..." - Phil Ken Sebben

Once again, according to DA's rules, you have to actually be able to SEE anything coming into contact with the genitals for it to be considered prohibited content. And for that matter, those photos are a lot more obvious than I am.

"HA! HA! HA! Cookies on dowells..." - Phil Ken Sebben

You idea doesn't hint, they're having sex and it's obvious. um no I can not see any genitals what so ever. I can as I said see hints of masturbation but as i said the first link photo it can be seen and the hands downing nothing. The second one I'll give you but yours is clearly having sex.

As for double standards when this is being used I see it as " I WANNA POST WHAT I LIKE". I would like not to see that here but it's you're taking it in that direction.

I'm more irritated that I at the least for viewers' sake, put up a warning preview image. Photos we don't even have a chance to detour away from it. The other thing is that none of these photographers even have anything to say about thier work. They just post them like they don't care about thier work.

What pisses me off even more was that at least I'm using it as a storytelling device. Much like "The Matrix" or any other movie you see with a love scene. Hell comics use it more often than people think. As far as I know, these photos are just "wank" material.
