I kind of have to agree. DeviantArt had those rules for a long time, and it might be that they are now getting around to enforcing them after a bunch of complaints. Anybody can call their stuff 'erotic art,' but sometimes it starts blurring the lines into soft porn, especially once it gets into heavily suggestive stuff.

Plus Netkeeper is right, there are websites out there to post that stuff, and it might be best to just post it elsewhere. I think the initial cause might be some people trying to circumvent the porn rules, so likely this is the result.

As for 'Underage art', even if it's drawn, 'underaged art' is a very risky thing to have on one's site. I'm not surprised if Deviant Art is removing it, as the owners can face jail time and close the site if the feds ever think it's promoting child porn. Some folks might not think it's fair, but sometimes dem's da breaks.
