...is that they're all over DA

Let me get one thing sparklingly clear; I do not have a problem with naked bodies, never have and never will. I think that boobs are wonderful and am not offended by naked people in the slightest. Some of the best photographs I have ever seen are indeed nudes, and I even hope to do some myself in the future.

...so what's with this journal then you ask?

Well, although the brilliant female form has always graced the pages of Deviantart in all of it's glory, there seems to be a worrying trend on the rise. More and more frequently I am happily scrolling the front pages when I am bombarded with pictures of naked women often taken by themselves with a cameraphone and a mirror, or by some horny guy during his stroll on the beach. It's these kind of photographs that are frankly ripping out the heart and soul of Deviantart and taking a 2-Girls-1-Cup dump on it.

It's been said many times before and I will say it again; this is Deviant ART not DeviantPorn or DeviantSpace. The very premise of this site is too showcase the talent and work of the creative community by uploading images that have required thought, talent or have some kind of artistic merit. Now said girls are indeed very beautiful, but for me a snap of some teen flaunting her bazookas does not really qualify as artistic.

I'm not condemning these sorts of pictures either; they have their place in the World - but DeviantArt isn't it.

Now I'm not going to point fingers here, if you want to see what is that I'm talking about, just scroll through recent popular pictures and you can judge for yourself.
HOWEVER, If you wish to see what the celebration of the female form should look like, simply check out these amazing pictures by the masters of the artistic nude and remember to your favourites:
