"I used to be normal, but after browsing deviantart for a week I'm now attracted to fat anthro animals farting and people turning into female dragon mermaids. Help."

It's a site where you can showcase your images and stories. However, the more popular artists of dA gets their art viewed more often. Anime/manga fanart are usually viewed more often than original art.

An online art community, where users, called Deviants, can sign up for a free account and upload their artwork, called Deviations. You can subscribe for a fee to receive additional benefits (such as ad-free browsing). Generally a nice place, with many intelligent and friendly members who can offer helpful insight and advice. And yes, there ARE some really amazing artists on dA who fully deserve the recognition they get.
And the abundance of mediocre manga fanart isn't even that bad - at least they tried to put some sort of artistic effort into it. What's truly horrible are the countless adolescent girls who feel the need to pepper dA with cam-whoresque pictures under the guise of expressive portraiture. Please, do it somewhere else. It's extremely selfish and egocentric, and it ruins the experience for those of us who take dA seriously.
If you truly enjoy art and put thought and effort into your work, and are willing to offer insightful, intelligent comments, please, sign up. deviantArt needs more people like you.

I found a gorgeous painting on deviantArt yesterday, so I added it to my favourites and left a comment.
If deviantArt turns into MySpace I swear I'm going to strangle something.

Also known as dA, deviantArt is an online artist comunity dominated by older deviants(or users) with giant followings and people who draw anime and pretend to be Japanese. Despite this, great art can be found without too much trouble (unless you like literature).
It is also a place emos often mistake with MySpace, and therefore flood it with self portraits and bad poetry.

Ex. 1: I love deviantArt. I have many good friends and access to great art. Wowee!
Ex. 2: Dammit! Every time I hit the random Deviant button, I get some depressed 13 year old or some dime-a-dozen anime jerk spouting "kawaii"! GO BACK TO MYSPACE AND 4CHAN!!!

a place where you submit art and communicate with others and comment about art.
though deviantART has undergone numerous changes, the only people who believe it to be gay or homosexual are the people who failed to read the submission agreement and thus lost their submitted work

Person1: OMG I submitted a movie to deviantART and they banned it!
person2: did it have nudity in it?
Person1: duh!
Person2: then that's why it was removed, stupid fuck.
