Since I'm in a whiny mood, I decided to whine here a bit.

Things I'm REALLY tired of on DA (in no particular order):

- Half-naked chicks smeared with fake blood, often occupying an old dirty bathtub. Like, WOW, how original (NOT).

- Same %^$&*#@ people with same $^@$!*@ stuff on the front page every &*#%!~$ day. Some of them very much deserve it... most don't. (No, I'm not jealous, so STFU).

- Badly executed photos of people with various "deep" messages painted either a) across their chests; b) across their backs; c) on their faces; d) on signs they're holding, and especially, e) on duct tape covering their mouths.

- Badly conceived, badly executed, out-of-focus photos getting DDs.

- Obviously Photoshopped photos claiming to be raw, and obvious paintovers claiming to be "freehand paintings from scratch"... getting DDs.

- Goth/fetish/emo/otaku pierced/tattooed androgynous talentless fantard hacks with their softcore porn Naruto yaoi crap getting a million pageviews.

- Pictures of naked demon chicks with enormous boobs doing naughty things with their pointy tails.

- Pictures of naked furry chicks with enormous furry boobs doing naughty things with their furry tails.

- Godawful "drawings" glorifying bizarre fetishes (i.e. obesity/pregnancy/menstruation/etc. fetishes... I mean, come ON).

- Cliques and elitist attitudes (in my experience, this is especially common among digital artists... Is it just me, or do many of them act like they’re gods-given gift to humanity? )

- Blatant exhibitionists taking crappy photos of their "assets" and calling it "art".

- Holier-than-thou "stock artists"; who post crappy unusable 2x2"; snapshots accompanied by a page of "terms and conditions"; that basically say you "must sell you soul to use them"; (as quite nicely put by a fellow deviant).

- The "ZOMG WOW" comments.

- People who don't read deviation descriptions and spam you with comments like "what did you use to draw this"; when it's spelled out quite clearly in the description.

- People who disrespect your "Critique Not Desired"; request and criticize to their hearts' content (and if you happen to point out that you do not want criticism, launch on a page-long lecture demanding to know why you don't want it and then explaining how it's good for you. )

- Non-Japanese deviants whose user IDs end with either -kun or -chun, who constantly use words like "kawaii"; and "desune"; and pretend to be anime characters or Japanese schoolgirls.

- Popularity whores (who 99% of the time also happen to be gargantuan drama queens).

- Pointless polls and journal entries. (This NOT being one of them. )

- Bad photomanips of George Bush trying to portray him as either ape or Satan.

- Psycho flamers, stalkers and spammers.

- RIPPERS and ART THIEVES. (Thought I was gonna forget that one? Yeah right.)

Thank you for being with us this morning, this has been brought to you courtesy of fast approaching cold front and general Sunday morning blah.

P.S. Feel free to share your thoughts/rant.
