...A sure-fire way to get something of yours elected "Daily Deviation" is to submit nudity.

Now, I'm not going to start preaching against the whole boob thing. I know there's the whole "it's tasteful, art is not pornographic, etc" argument and surprisingly that's a view I understand and can agree with.

But whoever's in charge of making these selections is making it a little too obvious. I don't visit dA every single day. Sometimes I even go weeks without thinking to check it. But lately, it seems to never fail. I can always scroll down to see the "Daily Deviations" section and, 99% of the time, I can find tits. Are we really supposed to believe these pieces of "artwork"* are being selected purely for their artistic qualities? Personally, I don't buy it.

*While I acknowledge that nudity can be tasteful and artistic, I have never really believed mere photographs should fall into the artistic category - and no, black and white doesn't cut it. At least open Photoshop and add some lens flare to them bitches.

You make it sound like I'll go to see the daily deviations and I'll be overrun by naked women. I went back a week and found about one nude every other day or so. Ultimately bias does play a part in selecting a daily deviation since it is one person's job to select it, but until titties find their way into every gallery it's not something I'm going to worry about.

I have my personal page bookmarked so I don't even have to look at the daily picks :)

PS why are you finding a way to complain about naked women?

Who's complaining? I'm just saying I think it's painfully obvious that deviations are being chosen merely because of the nudity and not because of artistic qualities.

I had my page bookmarked a while back, but soon realized it doesn't change much. Entering dA from the front page at least gives me a chance of seeing something interesting every now and then.
