DENYING THE POVERTY DRAFT-THE SOLDIER AS A SYMBOL

=whitetrashpalace:iconwhitetrashpalace: reports, 1d 15h 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.

A Feminist Perspective on Questionable Images

~sick-snowangel:iconsick-snowangel: reports, July 1
Sex and sexuality in art are some of my favorite things, and certainly sometimes arousal is part of this, but more importantly, it is FAR MORE than about simple arousal, as porn is. One of my deviantart friends, :iconcypherthepanicartist: , said that art of a sexual nature can “ provoke thoughts about our dreams, fears, desires, and place in the world"...yes! Well done art that deals with sex exposes the soul of the subject or act in question, not just the naughty bits. I feel that any kind of work on this site that looks at sexuality in a thoughtful or artistic or critical or celebratory, etc. way is certainly appropriate content for an art site, because, of course, this work is actually ART.

Graffiti: Art or Vandalism?

~jjankk:iconjjankk: reports, July 7
This is an extremely old article from 2005 but I found it interesting.
It explains how some graffiti artists began to sell their art for money. There are people in the world who think that graffiti is art and not vandalism and other who feel the opposite way. I feel like graffiti is a work of art and should not be banned or should not be against the law. Even though I consider graffiti art I don't think it should be sold to galleries and to people. I think graffiti was meant for the streets and that's where it should stay. What's your opinion on this topic?

Now the next step in the process is to determine how much one should pay for the job and this is what we are going to discuss in this article.

Petition: "Expert" option for submissions

~NoidEXE:iconNoidEXE: reports, July 9, 2007
When the new submission system was introduced by the dA admins, I thought it was a good idea since it offered the newbies a more...let say.."semantic" criterion for submitting artwork.
However, over the time I've found the new system really frustrating and annoying, lacking the possibility to decide which gallery my deviation is falling into.
Moreover, I've found it more difficult to find a suitable location for my artwork now than with the older system, and I think it was easier for the newbies too, since it offered detailed descriptions of each category.

In conclusion, I would like the admins to, at least, give us an "expert" option for the new submission system that allows us to use our brains instead of the new dumbed-down interface to choose the location for our deviations. What I'm asking you is to fav or just comment on this news article if you want to join to the petition so this article gets popular, reaching the admins and expressing the views of the community.

Well, enough with the pseudo-formal writing. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

PS: "You don't have enough permissions to submit to this category -- news submission aborted" <--- WTF??!

~Th3w-san:iconTh3w-san: Jul 9, 2007, 8:31:20 PM
TOTALLY agreed. The new system is completely wacked out; I can't figure out where to put anything without backtracking through like three different options.

The old system worked by narrowing down. You picked the most general category (digital or traditional) and then picked successively more specific categories until you got to the right one. The new system is the complete opposite of the old, and it only introduces more meaningless choices since you have to work UP from the most specific category...

I understand that it's easier for people who don't understand the category system, but for those of us who DO it'd be really nice if we could use the old system and put things exactly where they're supposed to be without fumbling around so much.
