FA Pisses Me Off
18 years ago
Hmmm...
I guess I feel like ranting. I've been feeling a lot of hesitation to coming on FA lately, mostly due to the people.
I'm sickened by the people using it as a dating site. I was under the impression it was an art site. Isn't Pounced for dating? But anyway, it wouldn't bother me if users weren't such JERKS about it. I've had a couple people ask me to chat, and they're nice and all til they find out I have a boyfriend. Then I get attitude, one user in particular acts like an absolute elitist snob (I don't know who would date you honestly, your ego is at a scary self absorbed point you douche @_@) Why is it okay to be an ass to someone when they can't be dated?
I'm also sickened by using FA as a place to find people to cyber with you. Whether it's you directly or through your characters...
I'm going to admit: I don't like rping yiff. I don't mind seeing pictures of it, heck I like to draw it every so often. But rping it..I dunno. I feel pressured to do it and it's no fun and I withdraw. I'm not here for sexual pleasure x.x Makes me feel bad when someone only wants to talk to me to cyber in some way. Many rpers I have met here won't make conversation with me unless I rp something sexual. What happened to meeting someone and just getting to know each other, with some casual rping on the side (and without the desperate "omg! I need date!")? Argh.
I don't know. This is the part where I'm fucked up in that I'll rp fandom smut...even at that, only one fandom...but I won't rp character sex unless it's someone I have known a WHILE and very well and who does it light heartedly. This is really starting to get to me.
What else bothers me...oh yes the popularity whores. It's fine you want to be popular, and it's cool you want to improve your art. But stop BITCHING. You won't ever be fucking perfect. Something about your art will always annoy someone, so shut the fuck UP. Another thing that wouldn't really be bad if I didn't have so many people that emo'd and whined about it on my list. You can't draw perfectly, it's not the worst thing in the world. STOP FLOODING WITH WHINY JOURNALS. Why I haven't taken these people off watch is beyond me.
There's also the constantly depressed about everything people. They people piss me off. They aren't actually trying to feel better. You offer help and ideas and they smash them down. Why? Because their being depressed gets them pity and attention. Trying to help makes them go "Oh no, but then I can't whine about being sad anymore." Knock it off and grow the fuck up. A real depressed person would at least be thankful, even if they can't always use the advice. It's common courtesy. Stop being such jerks.
Ugh. I dunno. The attitude lately is pissing me off. Not to mention I can't seem to get any comments on art I try hard on. I notice this..if you do lots of porn and or disturbing artwork, you get comments. Wtf is that all about? Or it has to be gay.
Is that really what the fur fandom should revolve around? Gayness, sex, and trying desperately to find a girlfriend/boyfriend? That's not why I got into it. They're fine elements but holy fuck, what an overload each time I come on here. If it's because they're "different", think again..that stuff is EVERYWHERE.
Bah.
It's late. I should go to bed.

As to comments. I try to comment, but there are so many pictures by so many people! I don't give crap comments if I can avoid it, I like to give decent ones. So rare these days.
I try to comment as well, and man it is hard to keep up! I guess a lot of my frutstration is what I SEE getting comments, not the number of them I get. If..that makes sense.
Ive never been invited to cyber with anyone, but Id be weirded out if someone did anyway, seeing as how Im not into that.
Yeah, Ive noticed by a little experiment I did that when I made a not too detailed "adult" pic, I got comments. And when I do an amazingly detailed pic of a normal non-sexual situation, I get only a few. And the fact that all my art, sexual or not is straight, not gay(not that I have anything against homosexuals) so I dont get alot of comments. but I am very thankful for friends I have here. I wouldnt trade them for anything.

Cybering... *Shiver* There was a time I was curious, now it's like ugh.
Yea I think that's wrong that you practically have to draw gay sex now to get any comments x.x I'm not a comment whore or something but I still like to see someone likes my art you know? As I said to Tannim above, it's not so much getting comments, it's seeing WHAT earns comments. It's sad that people only get interested in gay sex pictures :( I've nothing against it and like it sometimes too but man.
I do like some of the people I have met here, especially the ones I chat and grow close with ^^
And oh Lordy I hope I didn't offend you with the gay sex art thing, you know I love your stuff!
