Let me start this off by saying that I love nudity. I especially love female nudity. I think that there is probably no better art form than the female body. I befriend dozens of nude models and photographers of nude models here in dA. I believe that there is a line; however, to where nudity (especially here in dA) can be used for purposes other than art. I don't think that pictures that border on the pornographic have any place here in this community. Some argue that you can interpret what is and isn't an art form, but who is to say what is right and wrong? I always reply that I can walk up and slap someone in the face and blame the act on it being art. I still think the person being slapped is going to vehemently disagree. Let me show you a few photos from the community that are what I think is artistic nudes.
It is just my opinion, but the above set of pictures are what I consider artistic nudes. Now the below set of pictures should demonstrate what I am talking about when it comes to pictures that stop being artistic and border on the pornographic.
It is baffling to me how deviantART allows children to be a part of this community, and will allow the slimy works you see here. I know there is a bloody parental guidance button or setting, but not all children are dumb and they can find out how to get past it. I just think it is disgusting that they allow some of the stuff that they do. This is the big reason that I haven't let either of my daughters have an account here yet. I wish deviantART would strengthen its standards and get rid of pictures that are not art and just plain pornographic or sexual in nature.
Just yesterday I had to chastise a new deviant for using a nude picture for an avatar! I turned them in to deviantART and the avatar was changed. I would like to finish by saying sorry to my younger watchers, and I hope you have your parental settings on

My continued prayers to my friends Lil, Chas, Linda Jayne, Tammara, Thelma, Candy, and Shell
To my friends and watchers I wish you a wonderful and prosperous week ahead...

























































saw a link on Canan's page to here...
Let me make a statement:
"There are no borders...
only humans...
where the humans make a border...
there it is"...
Art is defined different at all times in all cultures...
Nude likewise...
even Concern differs...!
You are missing quality and clarity...
So: Define first:
You feeling punished by a lack of “clear” laws concerning nude/porn...
does not give you any right to punish (back)...
I guess you want to improve DA…and your Society…
Remember you are also a teacher here…
Other people will listen and they will learn…
How do you do you½…?
I am a grown up…I am set…many others are not…
Do you want us to think for ourselves…
Or do you want to dictate…
For me you can bee "nude"( honest) in your comments...and or "rude"...
it is your choice...your expression...your art...
and mine to recieve or reject it...
Yes...even commenting is an art form...!
…
There are two kinds of law:
Civil...
where you are innocent until proven guilty...
and Traffic...
where you are guilty until proven Not guilty...
Many people raise themselves...
only by the latter in their daily life:
Traffic law makes a poor society of: "Don't get caught"...!
Moral and Ethics are based on the civil system...!
1: Making laws...
2: Judging...
3: Upholding the law...
DA is American...
There is a GREAT confusion between:
Art Police...
Art judges...
and Art law makers...
Most of the people you see here on DA are:
Art police(appointed by themselves)...
making their own personal laws...
and judging you on the spot...
no trial...!
2 concerned people...does not make it 2 times more concerned...
it is called mobbing...
I have a definition…it is now for you to ponder:
sex...
Eros...
Love...
Greetings Jakob.
Thank you kindly for your point of view, and I wish you well...
David
