I cannot stress this enough. The website is TERRIBLE. And I’m not just speaking subjectively. Not only is the layout clunky and uncomfortable to use but the amount of drama and cyberbullying I’ve had to put up with are one of the reasons I hate the website. I remember first joining DA in 2014 to follow my favorite artists and was my browser to visit then. As of now, there are no words to describe just how awful it is. And don’t get me started on the staff; a friend of mine was sexually harassed by a user. We reported all of his comments but staff did literally nothing about it and the abuser went unpunished. One time I was accused of art theft simply because I drew a character in a similar pose as another piece which I was not aware of. The accusers even made an entire call out journal in hopes of getting me reported. Nobody owns a pose, that’s ridiculous! Just a site littered with cyber bullies and cancel culture. For the sake of your sanity, do not join this website.
