Stop Unnecessary Drama

Stop Unnecessary Drama

If you don't like it, don't read it. No one's saying for you to read this. I pity those who take my opinion to their heart, take offense, for whatever reason, and try and retort just because I don't share the exact same opinion of them.

Let's cut straight to the rant: immaturity and unnecessary drama on these god-damned art sites.

If you didn't make it, there's no fucking reason to rant and flame a piece you don't like just because of political, sexual, or religious reasons.

DUMBASSES. IF YOU DON'T LIKE FURRY STUFF, DON'T LOOK AT IT.

DON'T LIKE CROSSES/JEWISH STARS/ETC? DON'T LOOK AT IT.

DON'T LIKE HEARING PEOPLES' OPINIONS OF A CANDIDATE? DON'T LOOK AT IT.

IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING DIFFICULT.

But, nooooooo, people are really immature. You know what they do? They go and they click on the piece, knowing or not what the content is, and like a dumbass they look at the picture, only the picture, without knowing the artist or anything else. They don't listen to the story behind the picture, whether it was a comission, art trade, or anything else. They see the picture and persecute. And, like the stupid gits they are, instead of navigating away from something they don't like, they sit there, waste ten minutes of their life just to bitch, not about the picture and its quality itself, the meaning of it, etc., but the freaking basic picture and what it contains.

'OMG FURRY PORN YOU R SUCK LOL DIE IN FIRE FREAK'

Something like that.

Do they bother to think, for just one second? No. They have to let the entire world know that they don't like furries. Or, they think something is furry, when in actuality it isn't. (At this point, I'd like to say 'Thank GOD' towards Ame (tlwelker) for making this blunt obvious statement on the true definition of 'furfags' in a comic strip.) Just because it's anthropomorphic does NOT mean that it's automatically furry, that someone digs beastiality. All it means is that something, not human, shows human-like characteristics (anthropology is the study of humans). So, does that make Optimus a fur-fag? I think not. Demons and angels are mostly anthros, but have some animalistic quality to them 99% of the time (bats and doves, or any other flying creature, for the most part). Does that make religious people fur-fags? Get a grip, people. Seriously. You're being retarded here and not thinking for a moment. I mean, if you see some art of a suggestive human-on-animal thing going on, that can be deemable as a fur-fag experience. But, if you like angel art, but don't like something that, gods forbid, has different -ears- from a human that aren't elvish, that are animalistic, or if they have a tail, or anything else, they're automatically freaks. Hypocrits. If you're going to bitch about something not being human and being sexual even if it's tasteful art, bitch about it all.

Angels and devils brings us to my next point. Religion in art. It's one thing to practice your own religion or have a certain spirituality. It's another to shove your belief down someone else's throat because you believe strongly in it. I'm not taking shots on any religion here. I know some really good people who celebrate God on Sundays, etc. and I've met bad people that supposedly do the same. Humans are humans. We do have flaws and stupid moments, but when the stupidity gets to be too much I just gotta whine about it and put a fucking tag and label on stupidity's forehead. People. You see a cross on an angel, on a devil, anything of the sort, and you don't like it, don't whine.

'OMFG IT R BE DEVIL UR SATAN WHORSHIPER YOU GO TO HELL GO TO JESUS!11!!!elven1!!!'

Grow up. It's a fucking piece of artwork. So they drew a demon-looking character. Have you ever even stopped to read the description of that devil in the person's comments on their own art? What if that 'devil' is actually a good person that had some freak transfusion of bat DNA and has to live judged the rest of their lives like that when they're meek, mild and shy? What if they're just an antagonistic character meant for an angel-like figure to slay? Gods dammit, take a moment to read. I bet you won't find a lot of crazy Satan worshippers if you take the time to read and look through their gallery a bit more. There might be one or two pieces of dark art to stand out against a whole parade of light art. Don't jump to conclusions.

Now. Political art. I'm gonna say it right here, right now: I haven't done my research yet on whom I'm voting for, so I have no correct opinion on who's the better candidate, and I don't base off of stupid facts like party, race, religion, etc. But, that's just the thing! People don't do their research most of the time. They listen to 'Op, he's a Christian', 'Op, he's a democrat', 'Op, she has a pregnant teen daughter', 'Op, he's a negro'...you get the point. And they freaking vote, just because of that, on who we should get next. Do they pay attention to how many times they've lied to the public for something? Their experience? Scandals? How they talk? What they really plan to do in office?

I'm not gonna lie. It pisses me off that Bush got into office and -stayed- in office after he got us into the fucking war for no gods-damned good reason other than to wage an oil war and find inexistent WMD. I understand he had some hard things to deal with, AKA 9/11 (may their souls rest easily, all that died that day...), but I just can't have a lot of respect for someone who can't even properly say 'nuclear' or any other simple words.

But, noooo, people are gonna do the same old, same old. What will one little vote do, anyways? Not like it'll matter, but it does. Gods damn.

Is it really that hard for people to read? Is it? Am I the only one who finds little effort in placing letters into words and making sentences?

I feel like it sometimes. All I have to say is that it's sad that kids today are so illiterate with their 'bbl' 'g2g' 'idk my bbf Jill' and other general abbrev. speech. They are just living fast paced lives, so busy they can't even bother to take the three seconds it takes to spell out 'got to go' instead of 'g2g' and 'three' instead of '3'. Not to mention it's just choked down our throats so much that we don't want to read on our own after a long day of taking notes that we won't use, chances are, in today's modern society (when am I going to need to know, as an artist, the tangent of an angle of 39.5 degrees?!). It's pointless, stupid, and annoying. Teach me something I -do- need in real life, like, oh, how to properly research and debate on why this is better than that, in your opinion, and be able to defend both sides fluently.

Gods.

All I ask is for a little mental process instead of just watching stupid TV shows (especially about celebrities- who the hell cares? Don't you have your own life to attend to? Make yourself a celebrity and stop trying to live on Brad and Angelina for your life's entertainment!) and listening to opinions to form your own. Is that so bad? Is it? So hard to think?

Evidently so.

I know I'm not making any friends, more than likely enemies, with this piece, but I don't care. I'm sick of it, and this is my opinion. Don't like it? Tough. You aren't changing it. I'm far too stubborn. Get out there, grow up, and form your own opinion, and GIVE GODS-DAMNED REASONS WHY YOU HAVE THAT OPINION.

I don't like beastiality (or, fur-fags, if you prefer that term), but I have quite a few anthropomorphic characters (one of which is a cyborg.)

I don't believe or care much for Christianity's beliefs, but I have no problem faving and liking angels and even pictures with crosses in them if they have high artistic talent to them. (It's my dream to fly on wings, so I could care less about the religious influence of a piece if it's not shoved in my face.)

I need to do research on all these candidates, so I'm not going to even bother looking for art on it or listen to anyone's opinions and so-called 'facts' on the candidates until I do my research.

I've stated my reasons. Can you state yours?
