On the Deviant Art website, artists are allowed to tag some of their submissions as Mature Content, which means that those artworks (or photographs or whatever) are not displayed, unless whoever is going through the images is established as an adult. It just so happens that I never got around to doing this (that is, getting Adult certification), so all I see is the Mature Content warning.
Now I have a theory that the vast majority of people who have Mature C. images are guys. Guys, admittedly, do post some amazing images, but they're not the Mature C. images. Mature C. images are essentially high-class porn, or plain old porn, and I'm not crazy about it. So if I want to skip over the images posted by immature guys, I just ignore the posts tagged with M.C.. It's ironic that the tag is "Mature Content," when the image is likely to be posted by a guy whose still at the porn-watching stage.
Before you say anything, I have to confess that plenty of mature artists post images that are definitely rated R, which is what Mature Content literally means. On DA, though, I really can't guess what the tag means, because plenty of images that are not tagged at all show full frontal nudity. I suspect that M.C. tagged art may have depictions of sex, which I'm not crazy about.
I can't say anything more without sounding stupid, so I'll stop right here.
