Because of what exactly?

Because she has nothing covering her ._. There are some people on here like children who shouldn't see that, even though it is a great picture, its not made for the other population of dA that are underaged.

*sigh* your point is valid for those with an antipathy to nudity in public; and technically valid according to the precepts of the site itself. I am, however, disheartened by your response to the work, and the voice that you raise in a 'place' (this site) which once was dedicated to artists and not socially engineering voices.

I am not voicing my dismay at your stance and beliefs in order to engender some angered action by yourself, or others; or to engage you in some text based correspondence exchange either of philosophy, morality, aesthetics or hormonal based achievement. Rather I might simply point out to you that by your premise, that 'children' should not see a female breast, no infant should ever be breast fed and every ancient Greek or Roman statue should be blown up as the Taliban did those of the Buddha in Afghanistan.

*shrug of sadness*

But also breast feeding and seeing nudity on a public website are two different things. Breast feeding is to your child, it's something they need to do to survive. It's not a photograph posted for the world to see. And I'm not asking for this to be taken down, or implying that everything with nudity contained in it to be destroyed, just put a mature content filter on it, and those who want to click it can click it. Those who don't, don't.

point #1 - after examining your profile page and your gallery i am deducing that you are an 'under legal age of consent in most western democracies' member and therefore 'morally superior'.

point #2 - you are incorrect in the assumption that breast feeding an infant is something necessary for an infant's survival; ever hear of formula? Additionally, do you have ANY idea how much the 'morally superior' have offered opposition to the breast feeding of infants in public in the 'bastion of freedom' that the US of A presents itself to be? (do Google™ a bit wontcha?)

point #3 - the mature content filters are only fully imposed upon non-members who visit the site ... those individuals are granted no access at all. Members of the site who look at a thumbnail image can clearly discern nudity in non-'abstract' images; and most of your average users can discern violence in thumbnails as well (well at least those not using an screen resolution below 1024x480 *shrug*).

dA and all other internet based 'art' sites present an underage filtration mechanism NOT due to some moral or ethical or religious based concern on their part but simply to avoid legal battle with those who seek to impose dogmas upon others. MOST under-aged members of the site, and i am again relying upon my supposition that you are in that class of membership, view clearly nude imagery intentionally; as you clearly did. Which brings us to ...

point #4 - in your initial comment response to the artist and image YOU raised the dogmatic 'mature' labeling issue. no   one   else   did, or has since. Youth has a tendency to exercise itself in this manner, to display its struggle to cope with the inconsistencies of the world in avid stubborn adherence to rule based systems. (note my own emotional immaturity in my attempt to address you as though you were a maturely intellectual adult with deconstructions of your points presented (shrug.sigh)) ah well ...

People click because they can and wish to ... that is the exercise of free will. Once done the rest is a combinatorial nightmare of response; that is what an artist seeks and desires ... welcome to the world of talent in expression. Good wishes on your journey exploring your own artistic abilities.

._. not saying anything. Alls i said is if an underage person doesnt want to see something like that, they dont have to click on the 'display' button if it IS blocked. Its no huge ass deal, and im not saying anything bad about the art. It's a great shot, i was merely suggesting something.

They aren't until someone makes a stink with dA because they are unable to even key the word 'nipple'. see my responses above *shrug*
