Marissa's Bunny

*o-PixelPixie-o:icono-PixelPixie-o: reports, August 27
This is a link to a site devoted to getting out awareness of a disorder called Infantile Spasms. There is as of yet no cure for this disorder, and the treatment for it (anti-epileptic medicines) can have serious side-effects. Symptoms generally start to appear between 3-6 months and stop by age 5-6. Though I.S. resolves itself, many children who develop it will develop other types of seizures which may last their entire life.

This father, blogging about his child and his own attempts to cope with and raise awareness of this disorder really touched me, and I simply thought I'd share it. If you think you have a good forum for spreading this awareness even further, I encourage you to do so.

Little wars tearing apart dA

~falconfire:iconfalconfire: reports, August 29, 2007
It is getting really bad in dA lately. Have you seen the journals and news stories on dA lately? It is getting disturbing. People flaming people just because they don't think the other person can't draw very well. Or just because they put up pictures of themself. Like the news story about how deviantART is becoming like MySpace. How bad is that? Having people cheer on those people is even more worse. The same person who wrote the devientart becoming like Myspace wrote a journel about how they are enjoying all the drama. Little wars are going on between watchers on opposing sides. Am I the only one who finds this disturbing? dA is for anybody who enjoys doing art. It doesn't matter if they are a expert or a begginer dA should be enjoyed by everyone that draws,writes,take pictures,etc. They shouldn't come on dA and be picked on just on how well they do their own art.
I am sad to see many artist leaving dA just because of the meaness of others. Often because of art theifs or flamers. I have never seen it this bad. So people...if you have no good words to say just don't say anything at all. Think before you speak.

You have some very good points. Especially since part of the point of dA is learning to improve. Though another really annoying thing I've noticed is people being labeled as flamers or trolls over genuine criticism.

“'But I don’t want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can’t help that,' said the Cat. 'We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.'
'How do you know I’m mad?' said Alice.
'You must be,” said the Cat. 'or you wouldn’t have come here.'”

Nobody wants dA to end up like myspace. There is nothing wrong to voice out your opinion. It is an art site and community of artists and not posers.

I support you on the point that all art and artists should be acknowledged. One should give constructive criticism instead of bashing. But no no no to myspace kinda things

Hmm, times have been worse. This belongs more in your journal than as a news article. News articles should actually be useful to the community, or at the very least suggest what can be done to fix whatever it is that you see is a problem and benefits dA as a whole.

What occurs on the Internet is but a reflection of the real world, only more immature and overly sensitive. That's what happens on a site full of high schoolers who have yet to know the "real world" and have yet to learn how to take criticism :shrug:

The problem is Art here has no real boundary because we don't have an established community unlike in real life. So just about anything goes.
Constructive criticism doesn't work on the latest self portrait occasionally good drawers no instead for me saying "I like your art, shame it's hidden behind piles of myspace esque photos of you and your mates" I get flamed by the person I commented on and 2 of their mates.
