DENYING THE POVERTY DRAFT-THE SOLDIER AS A SYMBOL

=whitetrashpalace:iconwhitetrashpalace: reports, 22h 9m ago
The Poverty Draft, Politics, Symbols, and the inconvenience of being human.

Even in times of war, the Soldier as an individual is of no consequence. The Soldier is a symbol, a simple pawn in a culture war. The Soldier is either a villain, or a Hero. The Soldier always serves for the honor of his country, not his paycheck. The Soldier is faithful, as there are 'no atheists in the trenches'. The Soldier is Combat Arms. The Soldier is male, he married a young white girl, and he has a baby on the way, whom he has never met.

The Soldier is a romantic ideal.

Nudity and Pornography

!latifah27:iconlatifah27: reports, November 2, 2004
The dA staff are nazis. The dA staff are anti-gay. The dA staff took down my pic of two boys hugging but they keep a pic of a nude girl up.

Wait a second. Think. What else are the characters doing BESIDES hugging? Is one of them reaching into the other character's pants? Is one being shown blantantly masturbating the other? Are there any erections? Is there any kind of SEXUAL ACTIVITY AT ALL???

If there is anything above in the deviation, then it WILL be deleted. And if you reupload it in defiance to the rules, then you will be BANNED, possibly PERMANENTLY.

How hard is it to follow that rule? Nudity is fine as long as it contains NO SEXUAL ACTIVITY! And even pictures with no nudity that have the characters engaging in masturbation will be deleted.

It's amazing how many people do not know the difference, or are just playing the victim to get others to rebel against the dA staff for so-called 'unfairness'. What is wrong with them? Is it some kind of disease that only affects a certain fandom or subculture? Or are they all on crack?

DA does not discriminate against male artists. DA does not discriminate against people who draw nudes of fat characters. The rules concerning nudity and pornography are there for a reason, to comply with state and federal laws designed to protect minors who surf the web and might stumble upon something inappropriate. They aren't doing this to hurt anyone, or screw the users over. They're doing this so dA won't be sued or shut down.

So please do yourself and millions of artists a favour, and don't upload porn, and don't get mad if your pic is deleted due to inappropriate content.

And above all, stay devious!

Yeah, this wouldn't start a huge debacle if it were posted on the front page. :roll:

I wonder how many kids would be banned from this? :plotting: Hmm, it's almost worth it. Almost.
