ZOMG GAY OPPRESHUN!!!11!!
(from wank_report)

So on deviantArt, SweetCubofPathos got his art deleted. He's upset. In fact, he's convinced that dA is completely homophobic and has deleted his work purely because he is gay. So, being a mature and responsible member of society, he put them back up.


SweetCubofPathos:All I wanted was to be respected for once in my life. I do not find any of this funny, as I take it you do from that statement. I am insulted. I am appauled. I am dissapointed. I am unhappy. I have lost faith. Is this the receptive community of dA that I have heard so much about? This is another thorn in my side; another addition to the vast catalogue of incidents where my sexuallity is insulted and abused. I feel abused. IAM insulted. This has been a very emotional time for me and I just wish that people could see me for who I am and the anguish that my artwork depicts. Someone said that I was not "unique" because I am homosexual. Of course i am not, there are many homosexuals out there. But I bet that person was NOT one, or at least that person has not been through the hateful experiences that i have been through. For that I am happy...no one deserves to be attacked like this because of their sexual orientation. "one, large communal bitchslap"? I find that more offensive than anybody has ever found my artwork.

"Appauled"? Is your name Paul? I'm confused.

Yensil:Wow....you're as bad as feminists. O-o

In fact, he reminds me of a certain person we've mocked around here...

Summaro:Why the fuck do you keep saying "I, as a homosexual"? It's not fucking noteworthy. You are a drop in the ocean of gay deviants here. YOU ARE NOT UNIQUE. There are thousands of gay deviants here, and you don't here them trumpeting their sexuality in the forums. You want equality? Then stop segregating yourself from society. You are not a homosexual man, you are a man and a member of the community, both offline and online. And the rules apply to you in both situations, because YOU ARE JUST LIKE ALL OF US. Thats right, you are equal.

Our martyred hero has one defender, though...

furryfreak394: its people like you people who fuck up society. this whole business with the erect penis being inherently sexual is ridiculous! you have to sexualize everything. breasts are merely milk giving devices, but thanks to a bunch of censorship prude freaks and the glorification of sex in the media, when janet jacksons nipple flashed for 3 seconds at the super bowl, everyone freaked out and censored everything in site! asses are what poop comes out of, yet THOSE have been sexualized! an erect penis is not inherently sexual (last i checked penises were used for excrement as well), not any more than breasts are inherently sexual! if by "sexual" you mean "used for reproduction" then yes, penises and vaginas and breasts are all "inherently sexual". just because a penis is erect doesnt mean its going to fuck something. as someone said earlier, an aroused vagina looks the same. so couldnt it be considered "inherently sexual" as well? what is there to say that the pictured vagina is not moments away from raunchy, horrible SEX??? (oh no, protect the children)

as you can see, it is not as simple and black and white to decide if it is "sexual" or not as you have made it out to be. there are many more things that must be taken into account.

you are all restricting atristic expression. art is art. censorship is facist bullshit.

good for you, sweetcub, i hope you are sucessful and you prevent these bigots from preventing your art from being seen.

~~~
Others respond to our furry friend, pointing out, among other things, that what comes out of a penis is never excrement.

And then I wept.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't deviantArt have about a gazillion pieces of shoun-ai/yaoi art? I'm failing to see how the dA admins can be homophobic.

Well, the deviantart staff could just fail to notice them.

But yeah, you are right of course, I doubt there is any special homophobia present in the staff. There's nothing to support that claim.

Hahaha ahaha ahahahahahaha. Sorry, just, ha, yeah. Several months ago (or was it over a year now? Can't recall) there was a big kerfuffle over this, mass exodus away from the site by gay-boy-loving artists, and they only just reversed/eased off their policy recently.

And really, if you get the wrong mod/admin member handling your case, and they're in a bad mood because their favourite red shirt was in the wash, or they just decided to be an ass that day, you're screwed.

Yensil:Wow....you're as bad as feminists. O-o

I love when guys pull that one. Yeah, women should shut up, all is fine, women got their rights. Sure, still not paid equally or respected equally or anything, but it's far enough! Really! Stupid feminists, how dare they want proper equality!? Should settle for something less, that's only fair! For the guy, that is.

And that is how whining!guy is different from random!feminist. This whole ordeal has, like, nothing to do with his sexuality. Deviantart has a policy that stuff with a certain amount of sexual content is forbidden? Well, then it doesn't go there. And yes, an erect male sexual organ surely is sexual. I mean, erect = sexually excited, or so I'd think. Unless I'm confused about male anatomy again o.O;

You obviously didn't read properly, or maybe this line just broke your brain as it so nearly did mine:

an erect penis is not inherently sexual (last i checked penises were used for excrement as well),

So it seems penises become erect and then produce crap. And there is altogether too much that can be done with that thought. ;)

More importantly, Yensil is a complete and utter bloody idiot. Just because there will always be people who respond to any kind of rights agitating with telling use to shut up doesn't mean I have to like it. We horrible whiny femnists, caring about things, right?

You are totally right but,not to break thread here but I can pee while erect, I just have to lean really far forward so as not to pee on the ceiling.

TMI, there. But that's still not excrement.

Yet it seems as though the administrators like to ban artwork that include penises in it but chose to turn a blind eye to photographic heterosexual pornography.

Right, because there are never penises in heterosexual pornography. *rolleyes*

Also, the image of a penis exuding excrement has scarred me for life. 0.o

furryfreak394 needs to get over it. Tits and genitals have been sexualized since way way back. Maybe the censorship of them hasn't existed as long as way way back, but they are still symbols of tab A in slot B.

How much this dude feels the need to point out his gayness reminds me of a character Jim Carey did on In Living Color a couple times. He was constantly announcing he was gay - he'd be in line at the fast food restaurant and he'd say things like, 'is this the GAY line? Because I'm GAY.'

Playing the homophobia card is just as bad as playing the race card. It wasn't because you were gay, it was because you broke the rules nitwit.

Yeesh, this one's giving me flashbacks of a creative writing group I belonged to. This guy tended to write more porn than anything but none of us really minded since he'd been following the rules until out of the blue he posted this pedophilia thing where a 13yr old boy seduces a 35 yr old man with the usual in depth descriptions of the sex. Only warning he put up with it was M/M graphic sex.

List owner drop kicked him out of the group per the listed results of breaking the rules (post nothing illegal) and the guy started wailing right off the bat that he was kicked because he was gay.

Much wanking followed, even I contributed a good bucket's worth since guy knew the rules like we all did, he broke them, he got booted, time to move on.

Me along with anyone who took the owner's side was called a homophobe. I paid it little mind and last I heard this guy's been kicked from quite a few groups for the same reasons and acts the same way still.

I'm curious about something. How exactly were the DA mods suppose to know he's gay? Do they issue super sekret gaydar or something when one becomes a mod there?

I'm envisioning a sort DA batcave, with studious ever vigilant lackeys monitoring the site.Just watching and waiting for the day when one of them will yell (complete with sirens and flashing lights):

SIR! We Have GAY SIGN!
