Well, it has been painful, but just like removing a band-aid, better do it quickly. I have removed all the artwork that (I think) could be problematic, maybe something else could be reason for ban since the "fringe fetish" part of the rules could be grounds to ban literally any DiD no matter how tame it is, but I covered my bases. Everything I've deleted can be found on Pixiv, you can find me there with the same name.

Going forward, I won't be using Deviantart that much, so please follow me on Pixiv and Twitter.

Well, we all know how things are going on here in Deviantart. Many artists have been banned, some for clear reasons, others more dubious. They have been selectively applying the rules against certain artists, and although they have their terms of service  and the right to enforce them, thanks to the ambiguous wording almost any fetish artist could be banned with no recourse.

 I've been thinking what to do, despite everything I like this site, but realistically, this account could dissappear tomorrow. I will take down every artwork that could be reason to get banned, so if you're interested better download them before I delete them. I've been on Pixiv for a while now, so my artworks from the last 2 or 3 years at least aren't lost forever, they're all there: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/29926038 I have already deleted some of the older stuff, and I'll reupload it there for archiving purposes.

 Even then, I could get banned for the remaining stuff falling under the fringe category, so in any case, you can find me in Pixiv or Twitter for now. Honestly, with the way some close friends and popular accounts have been treated, I don't really feel like using DA anymore, so I may not upload anything else here, but for now at least the account remains.
