#deviantart rant

hmmmmm

I watch a lot of deviantart rants and I wanted to do one since I have a youtube channel. But I dunno if I should do it or not.

This post accurately sums up the state of Deviantart nowadays.

A small rant I would like to get out of my system about DeviantArt literature

To: @deviantart

Who here agrees with me that the previous version of DeviantArt was better than the current one?

Here's what I have currently gathered with the new version;

The removal of creating polls via the "+ Submit" button.

Updated literature (Google Docs/Archive of Our Own-like features)

If I have to be completely honest, I really am not a fan of the new version of creating literature, the best comparison I can make when looking back at the old one is Wattpad, it isn't anything like Google Docs/Archive of Our Own, you're still able to use the CTRL functions to change text styles (Bold - Ctrl + B, Italic - Ctrl + I, Underline - Ctrl + U, etc). In both Wattpad, and the previous version the literature on DeviantArt, you use these functions still, but you are allowed to add them manually be highlighting the text you have selected, along with changing it's alignment, adding and removing links, along with adding dividers [and, in the previous version, you were able to change the size of dividers, along with a notable feature of showing that you can change what type of line it was, which I prefer a whole lot more over the current version where it's just a straight line that cannot be changed at all].

Also worth noting that in the old version, whenever you highlight the text, if using the site in "Dark Theme", the highlighted text would show the words being showed in black text, instead of keeping it white.

I also posted on DeviantArt itself; https://www.deviantart.com/splatoonmangafan/journal/A-small-rant-I-would-like-to-get-out-of-my-system-1098641179 And Reddit; https://www.reddit.com/r/DeviantArt/comments/1fgp130/who_here_agrees_with_me_that_the_previous_version/

joining the deviantart rant community was my lowest point

From someone who tried to follow me on DA a couple of months back: What the hell made you think I would want to see sissy stuff, let alone explicit descriptions of this crap? Especially NSFW pics that aren't filtered, thus that blatantly violating the TOS (Though DA always lets shit like this slip through the cracks)?

The profile in question: https://www.deviantart.com/subsissiboysally/gallery

DA is devolving into a porn site now and I fucking hate it. I hardly post here nowadays.

I should've told him to kill himself. Whatever, he's blocked now.

I wish we could kinkshame people like this sick bastard...

How does one navigate deviant art nowadays? Does anyone truly know?
