I do use deviantart on a regular basis and while there are a lot of pics basically saying "look at my massive boobs!" and getting lots of views and positive comments (along with a lot of kinda creepy ones which i actually find more worrying than the person whos willing to post random nude pics online) theres also been a lot of guys doing it lately.
Now i keep up from time to time with the fetish sections (im not going into my sex life here) and its worrying not only how many people seem to think posting lots of naked pics of themselves is a great idea to do, its not just women doing it, yet ive never seen a single complaint about it, its always about the naked women and not the naked men.
Also, have u seen some of the freak stuff that gets posted???
What amounts to soft porn always seems to get the focus, but dear lordi is there some worse stuff. And its not just pictures, ive read some messed up stories on that place, but its the internet, any site with attract its share of creepy people.
As with my original point as i got sidetracked, distracting and sometimes annoying, but i dont see the fuss over it, if they want to show how shallow they r by been popular cause they take their clothes off, fine, but dont focus on what is probably the most tolerated part of that group.
As for it taking it away from good artists, other good artists do that, ive found some of the best artists i follow by luck not by looking on the most viewed pages. Some did go onto be well known, but some arent often seen as theres people with hordes of watchers that clog up the front page no matter what it is they post.
