Deviant-ishArt

Just wanted to post a link to the recent all-points!fail at DeviantArt.

The site recently changed their profile options so that users were forced to state whether they were male or female, decision which has since been changed. transfinite explains what happened via Dreamwidth:

I got a response from a user named realitysquared, aka Daniel Sowers Jr., the site's Copyright & Etiquette Administration manager:

Thank you for contacting deviantART, I will be assisting you with your support ticket.

A relatively recent redesign of our profile setting page now requires that you designate yourself as being male or female.

If you do not wish to designate your gender and prefer to deactivate your account due to being forced to make this choice then you may do so if you choose.

Missing the point much? It's not that I do not wish to designate my gender, but that I am unable to with their current setup.

As transfinite points out, this happened on Spirit Day. If anyone ever asks why we need a Spirit Day, let this be one of the exhibits.
