Fight the power??? Oh how I wish.

The Rantings of an Art Crazed Chow, Second verse, same as the first.
I had a sick day today so I figured I would kick back, heal a bit and try and catch up. Lo and behold as I go through submissions, I found an interesting piece that caught my eye. For reasons I do not wish to quote since I fear the man, (ie admins) I won't mention names or causes or effects, but it had something to do with a submission posted by one of the folks I watch. Good looking submission but I have a feeling it will get flagged and deleted, and the poster punished verbally. They say ignorance of the law is no excuse, but come on now! Not everyone knows the rules like the back of their hands/hooves/appendages/whatever. What torqued me off was the fact that one of the self appointed art police not only caught it, they commented as well. Now don't get me wrong, enforcement is everybody's responsibility, but come on now folks, at least put the notification in private message! You don't have to prove you got an e-penis to do the possible right thing and in the end, it saves a lot of butt-hurt on all sides.
(Yikes! Rant mode has been engaged!)
Hey, not everyone has built-in skill and talent in art and when has this become a competition in art. When have every artist here, pro or amateur been put in a category? Art should be fun, even if you have to use the assistance of a generator. Hey, ok so even I know that some generators are bad, such as for popular copyrighted characters, but something done by another artist and given the go ahead to use by others should be exempt, you see, that artist who spent the time making it to be shared by all is doing the art community a favor by providing a tool in the aid of bettering the quality of art. Think of it this way, something used by one to at least give a hint of how art is done will allow that person to grow in knowledge and perhaps allow them to draw or do art freely in time. Those tools will not work if they are restricted so hey, how about cutting a little bit of slack. Maybe no to Southpark and Sonic character generators, but yes to content created by other artists that was meant to be shared. It's like the memes, it's a no-brainer!!!
Ok, I'm done ranting, perhaps I can get back to doing some art now. Cheers.

I know the complainer- She is a friend of Tet & Trixi's, and that's all I have to say about her.
I don't think the artist of the flashes is particularly concerned about whether anyone saves/posts their own dragons/wolves, as they're "Buld Your Own _____".
