A deviant who deactivated their account wrote this in their last journal.
I'm totally glad that someone has summarized exactly how I feel, so I don't have to.
**!!Warning!!**
The following is considered to be mature, and consists of a lot of graphic words and imagery.
If you have a weak constitution, and don't know me very well, I suggest you turn away.
Now if you're still with me you may continue.
Over the years I have seen DA go from a good idea to a big steaming pile of shit. Why you ask? There are simply too many people, too many idiots, too many assfuck 12 year-olds, too many wannabe elitist jack offs, too many pussies, dicks, idiots, assrapers, egos, just too many fucking people to have anything that could possibly be considered a decent community in any form. There are too many people that use this hellhole to have it be a pleasant and decent community...it's just impossible.
Art Trends
It used to be the "grunge artists" v. the "trendwhore artists". It still is in some cases, but now there are the (my opinion again) "normal people" v. the "furry artists" (who I am bias against since the majority of them are stupid little naive fucks anyhow...). It's bad enough when DA became sprawled with really shitty drawn anime. Now it's really shitty drawn anime and anime animals that some little werido wishes he could stick his dick in.
There is hardly any art on DA. "What's this you say!!??", you exclaim. I would easily venture to say that 92% - 95% of the things submitted to DA are shit...pure, wet, reeking shit. Most of these "digital artists", "artists", "writers", "photographers", "skinners", and any other type of proclaimed "artist" that shares work here has their fair share of flaws, and, like it or not, there are millions of stereotypes here.
As for the digital artist stereotypes, you have your stupid dickless ass licking kids who pirate Photoshop, get a photo from someone's gallery (because they don't know about copyright laws and what ROYALTY FREE means), filter fuck it, and think it's the best thing. They then post it, and don't get any comments, because, you guessed it, it looks like a donkey cock. Then they get discouraged because they don't get praise and become popular.
As for the traditional artists...well...they're actually pretty ok...not really anything I have to say bad about them.
The writers...a lot of them are just teen-angst ridden fuckwits, some have decent material.
Photographers, the majority of you suck. About a third of you are good.
Skinners, some of you suck, some are good.
Overall point being that, as before stated, a lot of the art here sucks.
My opinion is, FUCK DEVIANT ART, it is neither deviant nor very artistic. The layout also sucks by the way is the color is god forsaken ugly. The people are fuckers (sure, including me, that is something I know anyhow though...most of you are too self-righteous and confident to realize it yourself...).
