In reply to the Good nudes vs. Bad nudes discussion (hq.deviantart.com/journal/Good…), my opinion:

Artistic nudes are art, porn is porn, but which is which? Some say there's a fine line between the two, I reckon that line is rather wide, not much of a line at all, more like a really wide gray area.
I for myself can decide which is which, but that says nothing: I am only 1/7,000,000,000th of the world's population. And even my opinion changes over time, and sometimes rather quickly.

This is what I like:

(I forget what I don't like so no examples here of that...)

So what is the reason for this discussion? Is this about censorship to come? If this place is going to be like FB, why would I be here? I am here for the freedom DA grants me (nudity is totally forbidden at FB, people I know got into trouble), to meet like minded artist and to discuss art. In this no censorship is wanted or needed.

No way! I mean: no way I could agree with you more ;)
Art is in the eye of the beholder. What is art in my eyes is controversial to others. Personaly I have a much bigger problem with the many Nazi expressionists on Da, and like most nudes, but another peep might find just the oposite.
The 'problem' is that Da is restricted by USA laws (and the so called 'freedom of speech' Americans think they have. Nudity and drugs are out of the question, while 'political' parties like KKK and extremist pictures are covered as beeing 'an expressions of political choise'.

One problem with nudity / porn is the visitors it drawns... Before you know Da is nothing more then a pornpiccollectors platform, without the true art of nudity. Da needs to be careful, that's for sure, when nudity is involved.

As soon as Da however forbids nudity I will leave and will think of starting a Da-like website run from the Netherlands or Belgium or even Sweden whereever the laws are open enough to show what I like, or find another platform which is more open minded on this!
