What Is DeviantArt Afraid Of?
God is love – use condoms By Ben Henien
The artist/journalist Ben Heine from Belgium, recently posted an image to his DevianArt page. According to Ben in a post to the Don Quichotte Cartoon Committee Yahoo group:
Hello DQ members, as I expected it, my illustration “God is Love – Use Condoms” has been deleted and censored by DeviantArt. So I uploaded it again with a “mature content” filter. It was deleted again! A few hours later, I was banned permanently…
See what DeviantArt is, it allows huge collections of images with genitals everywhere but not a little drawing defying the Establishment… I find this pitiful. It seems that political art doesn’t have its place on this “Big Brother” site. How does DA dare to call itself “Deviant” then?!
Anyway, I send this mail to suggest you to not open an account on DeviantArt as something like that could happen to you too. Ok, this is a shocking cartoon, but hey, it will never be as shocking as what the Pope said in his plane to Africa…
If you support individual freedom of expression, I beg you to post this image on your site, download it in high resolution, print it, etc, so that it can be seen by more people… thanks.. Ben
It is well know to many of us who produce art in support of Palestinians that members of the DeviantArt community selectively attack such works as ‘anti-Semitic’ to have them censored and removed by the DeviantArt administration. Generally, we have been able to counter these attacks by Zionists by simply designating our works as ‘mature due to sensitive subject’ labels. This makes the removal of Ben’s work all the more baffling.
As Ben stated, he even labeled his art as ‘mature’ only to find it still removed. Shame on you DeviantArt! Simple searching of the DeviantArt site will uncover many images of male and female nudity with questionable or obvious lack of artistic merit. I’ve seen some photographs that wouldn’t even reach the level of bad pornography of the amateur kind.
Now Ben’s page on DeviantART is embty with a note saying “This person has been banned from deviantART permanently” all support & solidarity to Ben & to all the real ART!!

shame on your part. Freedom of expression doesnt mean doing all the things you want to do. freedom of expression is to be done within the frame of ethics and morals and common sense. How could Ben portray Jesus, the holiest person ever lived on the face of the earth, this way? and how could you support that? I believe you both are undoubtedly possessed by satan. remember one thing.. you are inviting a great curse upon yourselves in the name of freedom of expression. you are accountable to Him.
