There's a fun little game you can play online. Go to
DeviantART and search the site using any two words in the English language. You win this game if your two-word combination has more than ten search results, AND does not contain anthropomorphic animal-people, variants on cat-people or dog-people, sonic the hedgehog, sonic the hedgehog's friends, furry pornography, anime pornography, or anime in general. If your search contains any of these things, you lose.
Let's start with something fairly mundane and innocent, like "tea pot".
Dammit! This was on the second page of search results.
What about something completely out there, like "oceanography moon"?
Hey, seems like - wait, YuGiOh fanfiction?!
It's a harder game than it seems.
But why can we even play this game in the first place? What is DeviantART, what kind of people does it attract, and what does it say about our culture as a whole?
