I'm offended by something I saw on the website!

Here at deviantART we enjoy providing a platform for our deviants to freely exchange ideas in a respectful atmosphere and we recognize that some individuals may hold viewpoints, political or otherwise, which are unpopular, scorned or outright hated.

While we absolutely prohibit the use of extremist beliefs as a means of harassment or abuse, we do not consider the mere association of such beliefs with an account or user to be an automatic violation of policy; we will remove an individual from our community based on the manner in which they interact and not by the simple basis of their beliefs, political, religious or otherwise.

We absolutely prohibit the submission of what may be termed “Hate Art”, but we do not automatically consider certain symbols or symbolism to be a violation of policy; it is only when the symbolism is combined with hateful and disrespectful speech or used in an openly hostile manner that we will take administrative action.

Please refer to FAQ #12: deviantART prohibits the submission of 'Hate Art' and 'Hate Propaganda', how is this defined? for additional information.
