Just a few hours ago, my recent submission was removed by DA's staff team for violating it's TOS and policies on sexual themes. This is not the first time that happened. Back in December 2025, I when I posted my images of Bryon as one, that too got taken down for the same reason. So, I had to see what the policies were in regards of sexual themes.
