DENYING THE POVERTY DRAFT-THE SOLDIER AS A SYMBOL
=whitetrashpalace
reports, 2d 4h ago
reports, 2d 4h agoThe 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

reports, July 1
reports, July 1Sex 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, 
, 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
reports, July 7
reports, July 7This 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?

Why Is Flaming Such A Problem Here?
~CrimsonShadowWalker
reports, April 9, 2008
reports, April 9, 2008Flaming, why do people do it? What do they get out of it, and why do we let ourselves get down over it?
Q:What is flaming?
A:Flaming is when someone comments on your art/page/forum/news/reply with the sole intention of brutally insulting you in such a manner as to belittle you.
Having only been here for around a year and a half, I have fallen victims to the dreaded flaming, as well as many whom I know and associate with in the DA community. Why this has become such a problem is quite unknown. There is virtually no way to research why it has become this way. If you respond to a flame in hopes of gathering why these people do this, they will usually only flame you again. I am not here to point fingers or name names, just perhaps to shed a mere spec of light on the situation.
Seemingly this is done only for some twisted measure of fun by the attacker, but at what cost? Many of the countless victims are able to shake it off and ignore it, but what of those that cannot? Many are discouraged by said flames, and therefore become more distant from DA, as well as not posting their pieces for fear of more flames. Some give up entirely and leave DA. This seems to be becoming another form of online bullying in leaps and bounds.
There is no way to fully make it stop, the admins have no way of keeping up with the repeat offenders, which causes more deviants to become discouraged and down over it. It is unacceptable for anyone to strip away the hopes of an artist/photographer/designer, just to make themselves feel better. So in turn spread respectful comments on others art, and constructive criticism, not flames.
The bottom line is we cannot let ourselves be discouraged any longer. We cannot allow ourselves to be victimized by said flames, and we must hold our heads up high and be proud of our art, and the art of others in the community. Respect your fellow artists, in turn they will respect you. If You find yourself needing to respond to a flame, don't insult them back, if so they win. Instead, try giving them a truthful nice comment on a piece of theirs, or if they have no pieces simply wish them good luck. If we don't let flames hurt us, then they will slowly slip away until they are nothing more than a faded memory.

I've been flamed once and I deleted that picture that was flamed because I didn't need to hear anyone else saying the same things that the first flamer did.. It's a shame that I reacted like this, beut hey(!) that's who I am and it's a pity that people can make me feel this way..
Once again, Great article!
