Hey there dudes and dudettes.
As you know I got terminated on DeviantArt. I contacted support, and the ban is final. And it is not just the account, but me as a user, meaning I won't be able to create a new account there.
The kicker is, I was not given a clear reason. After a bit of back and forth, I got this reason for the termination:
"Do not post images or video of another person for the specific purpose of associating those images or video with sexually arousing material, such as captions or stories, faking sexually provocative or explicit content, or soliciting “lookalike” erotica or pornography."
While I am hinting at stuff I am never explicit or sexual, so after some more back and forth I got this final message:
"This decision was based on the totality of your account's behavior, not just a few deviations, and is considered final. This suspension targets you as a user and not simply the account you happen to be using at the time, so if you create an alternate account it will be subject to immediate suspension"
So yeah. I am done with DeviantArt, and sorry for the crass language, but fuck this site to hell and back. I consider my stuff tame to some other art that clearly depicts sexual acts/nudity, yet it is me and other safe TG-caption artists that are getting focused lately (another big example is vthunder who got targeted with policy violations despite being the safest TG-captioneer out there!).
So right now I will see what I can do. I will continue doing the Halloween captions to release at the end of the month.
Other than that I will look at other sites to use, or maybe switch to Patreon in total. Though If I start anew or just stay on Patreon (and just make some captions free and some paid, which I don't really want to be honest) I would appreciate if you could spread the word to people on DeviantArt.
Well, with that my little rant is done. I am sorry that it has come to this, but I will try to get things going again.
And with that I am leaving for now, and until next time stay happy and healthy!
