E.B HERE,

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A RANT.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE ARE SO MANY GODDAMN NUDE PICTURES ON DEVIANTART.

GRANTED, IM ON THE "NEWEST" PAGE MOST OFTEN. I GO THERE BECAUSE I WANT TO GIVE "NEW" ART SUPPORT. I REMEMBER STARTING D.A AND HOPING THAT SOMEONE WOULD SEE MY PICTURE AND HOPEFULLY FAVORITE IT. I THINK THAT PEOPLE APPRECIATE IT WHEN THEIR ART IS FAVORITED WHEN IT FIRST APPEARS.

AND IM NOT SAYING THAT NUDE PICTURES CAN'T BE ARTISTIC. THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL. I JUST THINK THAT SCREEN SHOTS OF SIMS DOING IT OR RANDOM SHOTS THAT LOOK LIKE IT SHOULD BE IN AN ADULT VIDEO IS NOT .... APPROPRIATE? RELEVANT TO LIFE? I DON'T KNOW. AND OF COURSE THERE'S LIKE YAOI AND CRAZY FANART STUFF OUT THERE --BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY RELATE-ABLE TO SOMETHING. LIKE FANART, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY GET EXTREME, WE CAN SAY LIKE "OH I GET IT, IT'S FROM THAT ONE THING." AND YAOI --MOST OF US JUST TURN OUT HEADS OR LIKE LIVE WITH IT.  

BUT SCREEN SHOTS OF TWO SIM GIRLS GETTING IT ON IN THE STREETS?

I KNOW I SHOULD BE MORE ACCEPTING OF ART AND ALL THAT, BUT LIKE IT REALLY BOTHERS ME. IT REALLY BOTHERS ME WHY THAT'S OKAY OR LIKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S LEGS SPRAYED OPEN WITH SOME RANDOM TITLE "I'M JUST ME" OR SOME OTHER COMPLETELY OUT OF THE BLUE THING LIKE THAT IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE. GRANTED IF I GET OFF THE "NEWEST" PAGE I PROBABLY WON'T SEE AS MANY OR ANYTHING BUT LIKE, SOME OF THIS CRAP IS RIDICULOUS. JUST UTTERLY RIDICULOUS.

IT'S AN AVERAGE OF ONE NUDE/AWKWARD SEX PICTURE PER PAGE.

ALSO --TO END OFF THIS RANT THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY RUDE --WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH ALL THE FACEBOOK SELFIES? I MEAN COME ON -IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO SELF-PORTRAITS AT LEAST APPLY SOME PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS INTO THEM. GRANTED I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN PHOTOGRAPHY --I'M BARELY AN EXPERT IN DRAWING --SO IT MAY BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO EDIT PHOTOS AND WHAT NOT, BUT AT LEAST USE SOMETHING OTHER THAN YOUR LAPTOP? MAYBE AN ACTUAL CAMERA? EVEN ONE ON A PHONE?

OR CLEAN UP THE GODDAMN ROOM BEFORE YOU TAKE A SELFY AND THEN LABEL IT "JUST BEING THOUGHTFUL."

I HOPE THIS RANT DOESN'T GET ME COMPLETELY SLAUGHTERED. YIKES. WELL I MEAN, IT'S LATE AND I'M GRUMPY. SO. YEAH IT'S A RANT.
