A while back, as in 2004, there was a thread in the rants section of DA going on about how this one girl who got raped deserved it because-does it even matter? Who even knows.

Anyway, so bunch of friends and I go in going UH WHAT >:( and who is going on about how "well girls shouldn't wear short skirts?" and "GIRLS CAN SEE A RAPE COMING AND SHOULD PREVENT IT, IT'S PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!!!!"? Fucking heads of DA. Seriously, mods were coming in going WELL RAPE ISN'T ALL THE RAPISTS FAULTS, SOMETIME SHE'S A TEASE!!!

it was then that I quit DA forever!

(tthere was also the case of former mod Mangapunksai going on about how "THIS IS HOW SELF RESPECTING BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD ACT IN PUBLIC". Yes, she is a teenaged white girl anime fan. Yes, when confronted by a black dude calling her on this she patronized him going WELL YOU'RE ONE OF THE GOOD ONES!!!)

so yes fuck DA, it's always sucked and continues to suck.

Oh my god just read dthe thing, this involves realitysquared? that's the dude who was all WELL GIRLS DESERVE TO GET RAPED IF THEY DRESS LIKE TEASES!!!!! He also is a nutso cf_hardcorer if I remember correctly who goes on about how totally would beat up kids and teenagers because they suck for, uh, existing. Dude should NOT be in a position of power and he is a bigoted motherfucker.

I'd post this in the comments but I don't have a dreamwidth account. If someone else wants to relate to realitysquared insane ideas re: rape then go ahead. The thread was deleted a while back, alas. But I can tell you that the dude has thoroughly disgusting ideas about male privelage (the privelage to rape ladies)

Holy shit. The dA staff are an even bigger bunch of assholes than I thought. I'm honestly floored here. I might cancel my subscription just on general principles, at this point.

i'm proud to say that I've never paid them a single dime, nor do I plan on doing so. All my friends from the ol' rape debate jumped ship everywhere else but there on principle as well.

Wow, jesus fuck. Just another reason for me to stay away from there... :/

Some artists even just do not want to tell the world their genders :<
But that's exceptionally rude of them!

Well...that is definitely not cool...

It's sad to realize that a place you somewhat love is ran by bigots.
