Dear deviants,
One of the club's deviations (actually the only one) has been deleted by the DeviantArt staff. THis simple, dumb drawing was depicting a running, naked guy holding his big testicles (of the size of baloons). On his left, a writing: "fun with testicles". The drawing was very caricaturesque, the guy had huge, round eyes, gigantic teeth and a tiny penis. I hope you get the picture. Now, here's the note sent to us:

" Hee-Haw,

Now read the description of the deviation again. Let's try to compare, shall we?
Obviously, we weren't trying to insult any religious or ethnic group, in fact, we weren't trying to offend ANYone. And obviously, the deviation in question wasn't a tutorial, so it can't be "a deviation which is submitted in the Tutorials category which does not follow the deviantART Tutorial Submission Guidelines."
What's left? Ooooooh... I see... The deviation is fuckin pornography!!
Now ask yourself this simple, dumb question: Why is a heavily caricaturized drawing of a naked guy labeled as "pornography", or "obscene", or whatever you want to call it??
I mean, come on, check some of the daily deviations, half of them are photos of naked girls with huge boobies, you can even see photos of guys naked to the penis! But... WHAT THE F... BUT OF COOOURSE!!! IT'S ART!! IT'S FUCKIN ART!!!
Heey! News flash! Caricature IS art! Drawings of some loony guys with huge testicles IS art. What the hell are you taking too seriously?

It was just a drawing, whose only purpose was to make people laugh. Nothing more. Yes, it was a very stupid drawing, but that's our way of having fun. If you can't understand that, if you can't let everyone have their fun, well, what do we have to say... You're pitiful.

We'll try to be less "obscene" next time.

Peace.
