I will continue moderating Think-You-Can-Write because I cannot bring myself to drop my responsibilities, but my personal account will no longer be updating.

DeviantART has had its problems over the years, but this is simply unacceptable.

In short, when someone complained (like so many of us did when it happened) that the site now tried to shove people into binary-gendered boxes (likely for advertising reasons), a representative of deviantART told the user to suck it up or leave. They proceeded to cis-splain gender/sex to a neutrois person, used a slur against intersex people and refused to acknowledge it when called on it, and repeatedly ignored the user's requests for this issue to be resolved to their satisfaction.

This is unacceptable behaviour for a company. Despite deviantART's support of "spirit day" and their claim that this site is for "deviants", it's very clear that they don't really believe in equality. I will not support a company that is so insidious underneath the surface.

I love the deviantART community and I love all the friends I've made here. But I cannot stay knowing that these are the people running the site.

If you donated points to me for Think-You-Can-Write in the past and want them back, let me know and I will send them to you.
