The Silent F0x

Sun Oct 23, 2005, 12:48 PM
I say nothing because I have nothing to say.

There is no freedom here, I only come to keep an eye on those who continue to create in the face of hypocrisy.

I support Jark.

I support SpiritYouko.

I support the right of the artist to judge if their pieces have artistic worth, not a panel of administrators playing favorites.

I do not support porn passed off as art simply because it's photographed in black and white.

I don't support banning a person simply because they call a spade a spade when it's obvious to all.

I do not support rewriting history simply to make yourself appear right when you are not.

I am everyone.

I am no one.

I am here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are looking for Spirityouko - you may find her here: [link] She has rebuilt her gallery and I am proud of her.

I am watching many of those that she did so that she will not miss out on their art. She refuses to return to DA and will be leaving up her page despite the staffs insistance that she delete it to recieve a lesser banned status.

I will not be posting any art here as I have none I wish to share.

Thank you all for your support and remember that it only takes one voice of outrage to begin a revolution.

Thanks for the favorite.

Logic fails me; hence I draw comics!

Forgive me, I'm lousy at critiquing...
:iconroseimmortal:
Thank you very much for the watch. I'm afraid you won't see new art posted here to dA, but by watching me you'll get journal updates telling you when new work comes up on SA. :-)

Yes, Spirityouko actually directed me here so that I could keep her up to date on anything you post on dA (journals and the like). She also wanted me to favorite a few pieces of your work since she is banned and cannot express her liking of the statements they represent herself (silly how a banned person isn't even allowed to favorite a piece they enjoy, isn't it?)

That said, I found your journal quite stirring and I do hope you continue to stand up for artists here and for jark.
:iconroseimmortal:
That's very kind of you both to do. :-)

I guess if a person REALLY did something where they deserved to be banned (like posting obscenities for everything), they'd need protections like that. But using that in a case like this goes way beyond draconian.

I'll keep trying. A lot of people are getting apathetic, though. But I intend to keep trying, for the sake of the friends I have here.

I honestly don't see how expressing an opinion of a distasteful daily deviation would lead to one being banned myself. I don't agree that just because a piece is chosen by the staff that it should be immune to critique and "bashing". Why isn't the same privilege extended to all art? Spirityouko endured remarks that went far beyond flaming on her pieces and staff did not a thing to remedy it nor punish the commentors. Would it have been different if her pieces had been favored by staff? Is that truly fair?

I know there are those who do not like the way Spirityouko handled the situation but one must consider that she is a very passionate person and had been through a hard summer. Previous to this, she had been through surgery and a neglectful neighbor allowing his rotted tree to go so long that it fell on, and destroyed, the storage shed where she kept many of her family heirlooms and collectables. Seeing her gallery similarly destroyed for no real reason was likely the last straw for her.

In any case, I suspect this foolishness on the part of dA is likely to only get worse. I'm hoping the apathy will pass and people will stand up for their rights. I'm glad there are people such as yourself willing to stand up and to speak.
:iconroseimmortal:
Oh, there's this whole thing they have about "DD Bashing" around here. Apparently you can only criticize staff in notes about a DD or something because the artist has no control over being selected. Whatever. Either it should be that if you publish your art you're subject to what people want to say about it--or only certain kinds of comments should be allowed for everyone. It's hypocritical to do otherwise.
