Thank you for your attention.

I do not see the use of filters, except suiting ones own desires. It's just because dicks, pussies, violence and course language has so much power, that they "need" to be censored. It only "needs" to be censored because people are sensitive to it. People wouldn't be sensitive to it if they were used to it. If people were used to it, the situation would balance itself and this whole argument would vanish and settle. The pixels of a dick, isn't more harmful than the pixels of a kitty. I really don't understand how fluids become offensive just because they're on a dick either, I REALLY don't. I think it's ridiculous. It shouldn't be offensive. It should be natural, because it is. NATURE content filter, that's what it is. I hate complainers, so I complain about complainers, but that's the only problem I have with other users of dA. I think people should be allowed to judge how they act for themselves and not have people shoving rules up their butts all the time. It is arrogance to think that you're better than the people who watch porn or the people who doesn't know how to give a critique or people who go on dA to chat or get attention. Shut up whiners! You're stealing almost 10% of the attention reserved for VIP attention whores only. It's almost like you'll be able to compete about the attention soon!

And I want to add that I don't like skin smoothing. That too is a kind of nature content filter.

Adding a comment of mine, that was a reply to someone who started talking to me about issue that many skinny and pretty women get praise when they take off their clothes and many curvy or less pretty women are seen as more vulgar and recieve much more complaints about their nudity being porn. Here's my view on that:

I hate people complaining about porn. I think there's nothing wrong with porn, it can definately be art. And the situation you were talking about is one of the general tendencies of hypocrisy that I despise. You should write a serious and well-worded article about your experience and put it out there so people can see the message. I have seen the most horrible comments on pornographic images. I HATEHATEHATE that. And if we're talking about artistry, why is a picture which is no more creative, accepted just because it doesn't contain anything "offensive"? Why is a completely dull picture of a fucking cat OK, when the same ISN'T the case for a human with the same amount of clothes as the damn cat??? It all makes me think: "SHUT UP, whiners". I'm fucking tired of it.

AND WOW, miss theconceptofbreathin.deviantar… !Your poster with capitol letters saying 'PORN IS NOT ART' is really artistic. Very innovative and creative. I see you've downloaded and used some really cool fonts here. Excellent choice! They really emphasize your 'deep' message!

Art description:
I believe that, yes, the human body is beautiful,
but only when portrayed correctly!
Porn and shit on here is not art it's someone
trying to show off their fucking body and too
see how many people would fuck them or how many
comments they can get.
It's sick, honestly.
Showing off tattoos is one thing, but just spreading
your legs for the hell of it 'cause you think your hot
is a totally different thing.
This is just my opinion and you can bitch at me all you want,
IDGAF.

THIS IS MY JUST PERSONAL OPINION!
Get this through your fucking heads people, so quit
telling me it's all a matter of opinion.
I understand that and have said this!

If you disagree, tell me, maybe you can change my opinion.
I'm open to others opinions.

I UNDERSTAND THAT ART IS DEFINED BY MANY DIFFERENT
THINGS AND PEOPLE ALL HAVE THEIR OWN DEFINITION
THIS, ONCE AGAIN, IS JUST MY OPINION.
PLEASE RESPECT IT, LIKE I RESPECT YOURS.
IF YOU LOVE PORN AND SUCH THEN FINE I RESPECT THAT.

OK, you and many others don't think porn is art, but you never say why. Fine, it's your opinion that porn is not art, and we should respect your opinion, but many disagree and do you call posting this huge typographic, yelling 'PORN IS NOT ART' respecting their opinion? It's OK for me if you don't think it's art, but obviously it's not OK for you if we DO think it's art...

[This is what she answered to my comment]
I just thinks it's gross and uncalled for.
You can state your opinion and stating your opinion might change mine
and I want to hear other's opinions, I'm open to it.

I might just end up deleting this photo anyways.

[I replied]
No, you do not JUST think... you also acted, posting this deviation right here, remember?

Porn is some of the most called for things in history, so I have to bluntly disagree with that one.

Besides, you're extremely inconsistent. This poster of yours is aggressive and angry, it's not a 'this is my opinion, I'm open for other's opinions'-poster. And in the description you keep bouncing from lots of different things:

'This is just my opinion and you can bitch at me all you want,
IDGAF.'
-Here it's obviously OK for us to bitch at you, you don't care, but then right after that you say:
'THIS IS MY JUST PERSONAL OPINION!
Get this through your fucking heads people, so quit
telling me it's all a matter of opinion.
I understand that and have said this!'
-Here you obviously don't want to hear another bitching word, and right after THAT you change your mind again!
'If you disagree, tell me, maybe you can change my opinion.
I'm open to others opinions.'

And now you're telling me you might delete it anyways, well, how nice. At least we got one less poster yelling 'PORN IS NOT ART'.

[She]
If I'm so wrong and just an close-minded idiot for posting this, why are you wasting your time with this then?

[I]
If wasting a bit of time equals one less idiot in the world, I think it's worth it. I'm made for this kind of thing. Trying to change peoples minds. It's not a waste of time until there's absolutely no hope. I don't think you're hopeless. You seem quite intelligent for a person who post such things, especially the description, but maybe that's a bit early to say.

[She]
Then change my mind

[I]
Why is porn not art? Try to be short, consistent and relevant.

[She]
'Cause it's gross and unappealing to me.
Art is what is appeal to the person looking at it,
it's not appealing to me so I don't find it to be art.
But that's just in my eyes.

[I]
So does that mean when I look it, it may be art, but when you look at it, it ceases to be? Do you mean that art is only created when a person enjoys something as such?

[She]
I mean art is different in everyone's eyes

[I]
Everything is different in each other's eyes. That's obvious, but it's definately NOT a valid argument that porn isn't art. Earlier you said that porn is not art, because it does not appeal to you and it's gross. So do you mean that everything that is art appeals to you? Do you mean to say that you like all art, and that if you don't, then it's it not art, even though I might think it is?
I mean art is different in everyone's eyes

-No further reply from her yet, and it's been a while. Maybe I did change her mind.

Everytime I come on dA, there is something new, beautiful, innovative, comforting, interesting, inspiring, intriguing, artistic...

And sometimes a just as good comment from great deviants on my own work.

Thanks dA

I'm a free user and I would like to say that I'm shocked at how much people care about details. When v. 7 came out, I was delighted! Yeah, you heard me! I haven't served most the issues you've written about here a tought. It sounds like your lives are falling apart or something. Seriously, someone else owns this site, and if you don't like it, then go somewhere else! That's right! You can't because you love this site!

And now the messages-button is only an icon resembling a letter, -OHNOES, ONLY 12 PIXELS to aIma At! ...What I thought was, -Great! It saves space, and is easier on the eye, less text, less noise. Besides, if there are no changes made ever, things get fucking boring, and people might have started to complain about that. This is just like those stupid groups on facebook, that is desperate to gather people around the opinion that -THE NEW FACEBOOK SUCKS! And they are unable to find anything anymore unless the staff sends out personal helpers to all the poor users. After all, that's the least they could do when they make a good site that people get addicted to and then change something unexpectedly afterwards!

I can totally understand that the staff apologize again and again even though they lack sincerity. Especially when I see loooong letters of complaining and whining like this! It makes you want to do ANYTHING to calm you down! I feel more sorry for the staff that additionally to working on a site, they have to listen to you guys whining about every new function or change that they add! Get a life! The sun is shining outside, and you sit in here and cut yourselves and desperately start writing scripts to get it back the way it was and make art that complains about it, and there just is no end! So much other stuff you can put your energy into, everything will be improved soon anyway! And if they released it, then maybe they just thought that the current version was OK, and needed to hear everybody elses opinions and didn't expect sooo much childish whining!

Most you haven't even tried to give the new functions a chance! Well, I can't wait for the holocaust it's going to be when v 8 comes out! OMGOMG! Go smoke some pot and relax!

Thank you very much!
