Dear raiders, a week ago we posted a blog asking for your opinion on the nude content in the group. We want to say a big thank you for your extremely active response to the blog and participation in discussion. We carefully read all the opinions that were expressed and analyzed everything thoroughly when making our final decision. But before we announce the verdict on this issue let us announce the overall results first. According to the response you left on the blog the opinions divided into two groups –  :bulletred: 36% are totally against any kind of nudity and wish not see it in the group; :bulletgreen: 64% - do not mind it as long as it’s in category of “artistic nudity”.

The percentage of people who appreciate beautiful nude pieces prevails and we could have easily let things stay as they were, but we know that the subject of Lara’s nudity is a very touchy issue and people who don’t mind nudity in general do mind it when it comes to lady Croft (so naturally they can’t turn Mature filter off when browsing dA and then turn it back on when they get to group’s inbox or gallery), so a compromise was found.

From now on:

- you will not be getting nude pieces into your inboxes;
- we cleaned our galleries from all the nude artworks;
- rule considering nudity has been changed.


However people who do enjoy and appreciate artistic nudity won’t be deprived of this pleasure. We created Mature Folder and moved all the mature pieces there. The artworks from this folder will not be getting into your inboxes so people who are not OK with nudity won’t be bothered anymore, but those who do like it can check the folder any time. To make things more convenient to you we placed the button leading to the folder right at the top of our front page. If you hit the button you know yourself what you’re gonna see and you agree with that.


Mature Folder Submission Guidance:

Variant I. Open the deviation you want to submit. Hit “+” button on the right. In the appearing window hit “Suggest to group’s favorites” then choose the group and corresponding folder (“Mature Content”).

Variant II. Hit “Favorites” section in the group then hit “+” button in the Mature Content folder.  


Thank you everyone for participating and making this decision so much easier on us. We hope you're happy with it and that you find it a fair compromise.

"63% - do not mind it as long as it’s in category of “artistic nudity"

That would technically make them "mis-cats",
as Tomb Raider fan art should be placed in the "Fan Art" category, when submitting.
