I don't care either way.... I see the merit in both sides of the fence and the flaws... banning it is not gonna stop people who want to see it bad enough from seeing it, and no ban is just gonna make it more prevelant. There is more to both sides.
I've drawn images with nudity and flagged them as mature... I have had people flame me for them being pornographic because the subject was unclothed, regardless of the fact that she was positioned so that her breasts and crotch were hidden from view by her hair and leg. It was an image depicting Innocence (a gat girl playing with a ball of yarn, unaware of her nudity or its impact), to me that is not in the least pornographic.
As for how others view it, what do we classify as pornography? Nudity? well animals are nude, there are many tribes of people (even so called civilized groups) that are nude and there is nothing sexual about it. Is it by the awakening of sexual desire? Well , I've met people who have gotten off to a cheese sandwich... does that make cheddar into smut?
Now before you jump at me for being one sided, I shall now give the reasons for the ban.
Its the same reason we have R-rated movies, M rated games, and such.... An inherent need to protect children from advanced awareness prior to their maturity to handle it in an adult fashion. (Some adults are more immature than many kids and vice versa but we won't go there) Some parents use deviantart as a way to expose their children to culture. my aunt uses it so that she can show my cousins how good their cousin is (we're a family of artists)... Nudity is offensive to some and they and others do not want YOUNG children exposed to it or graphic violence.
problem is; that just like Yahoo!'s mature setting, all you have to do is lie about your age when you make an account.
