I have not made a journal in years, but I am going to vent this out! I have been seeing several artists that are popular for their art like Karbo getting suspended, temporarily deactivated, or banned and it's pissing me off! I even noticed this from artists I also know like Tj-Caris and SirKaijuofVaudeville when none of their art breaks the rules even though it deals with fetishes like BDSM, macrophilia/microphilia and vore since they claim these fetishes are not acceptable. This is not fair for a lot of artists that do NSFW art because most of them follow the rules making sure it's nothing illegal like child porn and putting their art in Mature Content so minors won't see it. But also the fact, I have my kinks like macrophilia/microphilia to femdom. I notice this in the Team Status Update with their recent change about Mature Content allowed since they added a AI detecting what people post: https://www.deviantart.com/team/status-update/In-recent-days-there-s-been-982059592

My reaction is that they are being freaking hypocrites of what people can post online and not ignoring issues that really matter like art theft from art thieves like mamoti who is stealing art from several artists like Witchking00, MAKIYA-Makiya, Nationofheadscissors, to Flick-the-thief with these pictures for his nasty unbirthing fetish who that I have been trying to ban for years even though I contact the owners their art was stolen and report the pictures:

They are ignoring pedophiles posting NSFW art of underage characters or real minors but also trying to take advantage of underage and adult users like bluewingfairy to Club-Dreamiverse who was banned recently unless they want the FBI involved:

Club-Dreamiverse in a Nutshell

They are allowing AI artwork which is technically art theft since it's using existing artwork to make from AI software like DreamUp, Midjourney, and Dalle which looks soulless having the uncanny valley vibe since a person did not draw this at all either traditionally or digitally. I even had to protest this is not the type of art we want to see:

Enough With AI Artwork!

They are ignoring bots harassing people on Chats with this damn spam asking for our art to be used for murals:

They are not trying to fix issues that matter like the Search engine messing up and not accurate to what we type. For example, I typed up any art of plants like yuccas in the Search Engine and this is what I see:

They claim that the fetishes that people post like vore to macrophilia/microphilia is not allowed. But these fetishes have been here for years and most artists I interact with never broke the rules like doing child porn but also putting their art in Mature Content so minors won't see it especially since they check this list if the art is not allowed if I have to report it:

The art logo is stolen from a Russian website called Platzkart instead of the classic DA logo unless they want copyright infringement:

They are using a AI system to dictate what people can post online and they even marked my yellow trumpet artwork as Mature Content when it's just a endangered species of pitcher plant native to Louisiana to Florida living in the longleaf pines when I don't do NSFW artwork:

Yellow Death of the Southern Savannas

I also learned from artists that a lot of art with anything associated with the LBGT community is being targeted which is not right since I'm heterosexual, but always been supportive of the LBGT community.



I have also learned that Wix is messing with the Groups and Forums which is not right. Since these are features that made a lot of artists get recognition with their art or interacting. But here's the journals:

But I just want to say that DeviantArt is not like how it used to be when I first joined in 2014, or even when I first visited the website in 2007. But whenever I think of DeviantArt, I think of these old layouts before Wix took over the website back when it used to be one of the best websites to post art along with Pixiv, Newgrounds, and ArtStation regardless of medium or skills. But this is also why artists are migrating to these websites but also Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Patreon, Itaku, Side7, Inkblot, BlueSky, Tumblr, and FurAffinity because of Wix screwing this website up and popular artists like THEDAIBIJIN to underrated artists are probably leaving the website because of these damn changes:

I'm trying to give my rant for all of my watchers, visitors, artists, and writers who are browsing on the website to let people know what I am talking about. Oh, I forgot to mention since Wix took over they ruined this website just like Google screwed up YouTube with all of these unnecessary changes like COPPA not allowing comments on anything that is animated or targeted to kids but also having advertisements interrupting any video and we don't have any of the old features like Categories and the staff are acting like bots instead of actual humans. But I'm also getting people to know about Wix and why they are terrible with customer service and web designs: 7 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Use Wix to Build a Website (optimum7.com)


Why you Shouldn't Use Wix - WP-Tweaks


Why you shouldn't build on Wix | South Digital


Why We Hate Wix - Port Macquarie Graphic Design - Phiranno Designs (pd.design)


I remember when I used the old layout had Drag and Drop for our galleries and Favorites; we had comments on our galleries and Favorites:

Gallery Comments Then and Now by kasaibou

But I also remember there were other features we had like DeviantArt Muro, and there was a layout that Heidi wanted to make called Profile Discussion that would have been great for the website before Wix screwed it:

I can also say that the Subscriptions and Watchers-Only Feature is something I don't like since it resembles too much of Patreon but also the fact that artists who want to pay people for commissioning their art has always been useful:

The DeviantArt Eclipse layout looks to similar to Artstation's layout given the resemblance and I'm not surprised they are suing Wix for stealing their design:

Oh, better yet you can tell me in the comments how do you feel about this. Besides, Wix needs to stop ruining DeviantArt before it's going to end up like Myspace or Neopets since they used to be popular social media websites. I also feel like we need a petition or protest this by buying the website or sue Wix because this is a community for artists not those Wix bastards especially since artists have been the reason for DeviantArt's popularity and not AI taking over making art or getting rid of artists that we loved like Karbo to Silerna.

Hi, I had notice a troll is harassing me. Their username is getfreemazes, and they were harassing me about why a lot of artists who were banned because of their fetishes like macrophilia/microphilia to vore were banned recently like GothicSimmer to Karbo claiming they were pornographers instead of artists when they have been in this website for years before Wix took over that actually made their own art:

I had told him off I don't masturbate to people's artwork regardless if it's NSFW or SFW art. He even threatened they were going to print my Favorites claiming it's not art when most of these artists actually draw; not being AI artists, art thieves, and telling my mother. Besides, I had told him off why he can't focus on something that really matters like art thieves instead of me when I do not support art theft or child porn.

Hey, I had noticed that a troll on DeviantArt is claiming that popular vore and macrophilia artist Karbo is a terrible person claiming he did child porn of underage characters since he was recently banned last year because of Wix changing the rules claiming that vore to macrophilia/microphilia is not allowed which pissed everyone off: https://www.deviantart.com/team/status-update/In-recent-days-there-s-been-982059592


His username is ZaporII, but I recognized him as Zapor666 who was actually banned years ago for doing child porn and creeping on underage users: https://www.deviantart.com/nerdy-pixel-girl/status-update/20113058


But here are some screenshots to let everyone know about him:

You may notice I had made some comments telling him off for saying that since most artists I watch would never support child porn especially since their OCs were adults if they were in NSFW art or characters that were adults in fan art either going by their official species from different species like humans or fictional creatures like elves to robots since they can age differently. But I never done this since I usually try to report art thieves to users posting NSFW art of underage characters. You can tell me in the comments what's your opinion of it since this is creep is trying to ban evade and harassing artists even if they left.

Hey, I've been noticing notifications being changed recently. But I've been wondering why are they ignoring our feedback for DeviantArt Eclipse to notifications changed. It's really suspicious since they've been bought by Wix. But I wish DeviantArt was back to how it was when I joined in 2014 when this was a decent website for artists regardless of skills, medium, or if they were hobbyists or professionals. But I wish they would listen to us because I am seeing art thieves, pedophiles, scammers, trolls, bots, cyberbullying, and hackers causing trouble unless they want the FBI investigating the website. But I can also suggest if you're reading this journal comment on this instead of fave and runs. Besides, a lot of artists are moving to other websites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pixiv, Newgrounds, FurAffinity, ArtStation, ConceptArt, unless they want this to be like Myspace being forgotten. But I can say this, Wix is the reason why our favorite website is being ruined.

Hey, here's a great alternative to DeviantArt Eclipse. It's a new website that gives off the nostalgic vibes of the old DeviantArt called DeviantArt Sunrise. The layout looks really awesome and hopefully this will be better.
