leaving DA PISSED

Journal Entry: Thu Mar 13, 2008, 10:59 AM



Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.
D. H. Lawrence


I wont be posting anything here for at least awhile. I am frankly pissed off.
I find it unacceptable that DA allows shallow members to post hateful, insulting comments about women, and I no longer feel comfortable having friends and models I work with treated in that manner..I am not referring to silly comments such as "nice tits" "id bang her" etc..
I'm referring to comments that actually viciously attack women's bodies. This is Deviant art, not Hot or Not..

DA is SUPPOSED to have a policy regarding insulting and hateful comments FAQ #238: How do I report people for abuse, harassment, or another issue I may think is a violation?
But I guess posting angry, hateful insults about women's bodies is considered trivial, as they will not do anything about the problem.
Women today have enough body issues without having to be insulted on an art site. This is unacceptable!

I know my little posting wont change anything,but I just wanted to explain while I wont be back for awhile, if ever.
I am not pulling the bratty artist exit.

I just feel strongly that people should be treated better than this.

I thought DA was better than that..

There are as many things to say as there are pictures in your gallery! So intense, so beautiful, so strange, so imaginative...the list goes on. It's an unforgettable body of work and I look forward to visiting many more times. Peace and gratitude! :)

fun, wild yet controlled (and "control" is one of the issues examined). Solid work!
