So... it turns out that they sent me an email through DeviantArt in which a collection of at least 80 reports to fetish people was compiled and that gave artists a hard time.
What I find out is that I have just been the victim of a request spammer.
which left me thinking
Luckily I closed the requests recently and only the ones I have pending remain out there.
Moral:
Take care of DeviantArt, it's kind of creppy
khicher
Although I do not know. Now that I think about it, I don't know if it's necessarily bad.
