In my understanding, art is not always about flowers and bunnies. Sometimes it may deal with provocative, even unpleasant subjects. Oh, and mature content, too. One may think deviantART is exactly the place for such things, but we are constantly reminded that it's actually not. I got another such reminder a couple of weeks ago, when I received the following note:

_{"Your deviation Homosexual Cock was reported for Explicit Pornography. The report was reviewed by a member of the Staff and action was taken, deleting the deviation and marking the report as Resolved."}

I don't think it's a matter of ignorance. I'm pretty sure the staff members have seen actual pornography and can tell the difference. I think it's a matter of fear. Better safe than sorry, that seems to be their motivation here.

Still, I may be wrong. Maybe I just refuse to see the horrible truth about the piece of art in question. What if it's really stepped out of the boundaries of art and slipped somewhere else, not acceptable for a civilized community to see? Please follow the link to the image and let me know your opinions. I'm always open to discussion.
