I have recently been becoming concerned with a growing demographic on deviantART. "Fanboys".

The demographic of this website that cries that they are giving their opinion when they are down right insulting to other deviants on this site and they don't have the talent/skill to back up their insults.

They are no talent 12-20 year old anime loving boys who wish that they could get a woman naked let alone, photograph one...and they are just jealous of that one aspect of the photograph/artwork. Not the lens choice, lighting, composition, contrast, etc..

They wish they were popular on this site and find that taking their anger out on skilled talented artists and photographers is a way to get pageviews or interact with people on this site...well, they get pageviews and interact with other deviants but not in a constructive or positive way.

Whether they insult deviants like cweeks with comments on a deviation like, "Paris is a Whore" or pelicanh with "More Playboy crap! SHIT AIN'T ART!" or have other comments where they disrespect the subjects of the deviation with "nice tits", or "she's ugly" and so forth.

The inevitable does happen. Deviants talk back to these no talent anime loving "fanboy" hacks. Then the "fanboy" hacks accuse the deviants of ass-kissing, being perverts, calling them idiots and the insults continue. My favorite is their fervent gay-bashing on perfectly heterosexual people. Somehow they find it an insult when all they really need to come out of the closet themselves or grow up. These "fanboy" hacks don't know what art is but claim that they alone decide what it is and that they can insult anything and give their "opinion (insult)".

These "fanboys" are immature little kids that could care less about art and more about "owning" people with lame, awful, hateful comments because they need attention...and pageviews. Perhaps, mommy didn't love them enough. Which is not why this site was created.

It was created to openly share, discuss, critique and promote art from the beginner to full blown professionals in every media. Not to spew venomous, hateful insults.

The MySpaciation of deviantART is happening. It's been a long time coming. I wish it would stop.

For the "fanboys"...before you move out of your mother's basement...here's the defintion of art:
