Deviantart Wank
How one little unicorn in a paper dress started a flame war....

It all starts innocently enough - user Klar uploads a new piece of artwork that is admittedly unfinished lineart - says so in the description.

All is well - there's a couple of posts of the usual bland praise, until Myphrill posts the following:

"i like it but i think it could use more colour and definition"

First on the scene is Klar's friend, fan and fellow artist, Sashamya, who declares Myphrill's comment to be fightin' words:

"and you could use a more shut the hell up."

Myphrill indignantly responds, citing his experience/credentials as an artist. Sashamya splooges. More people join the fun. Klar herself gets involved way down the line. It's a lot of name-calling and unsubtle jabs at the talent and education and sanity of the players involved.

My favorite line:

Klar: "Are you calling me american? i'll fucking boxfight you"

so, i yelled at some people on here. and i want oreos and milk. i'm wearing sockies with hampster faces on the back. pallus are always cute. it just makes me think he had a big plan of wrapping himself all up, then got distracted or lazy half way through. di would worry he'd catch a cold and make him put on clothes or a blanket or a bed.

...What? Is this person on _speed_ or something? I couldn't even follow their train of thought. "You suck. I'm wearing socies with hampster faces."

excuse me? I was simply stating my opinion, ever heard of freedom of speech? I should know what im talking about, im an A-Level art student.

Clearly not an A-level student of the English language, however.

As an aside, I hate people like that...I know a great deal of honors students that think they're better than all the other honors students. Newsflash...they're all as smart or smarter than you. Argh. [tears out hair] I know in high school that may not have been true, but in college it sure is. So how about respecting them?

...You know, usually I feel for one of the sides in the wank, but these guys are both morons.

I felt a little sympathy for Myphrill at first, he had a valid point and the artist (and over protective box-fighting best pal) could have just accepted some constructive critism. When people tried to back him up he then started brown nosing after the box-fight threat. Sheesh does he really think someones from Canada is going to come all the way to England to do it. Kinda lost all sympathy there.
I found the way he kept bringing up being british annoying, heck I am too and very proud of it, but it doesn't make me smarter.
Grr I need to go and indulge in post christmas Baileys and avoid DT for a lifetime.

I dunno, I find that being told to add color to unfinished lineart about is about as wanky as being told to add a more satisfying conclusion when I put half a fanfic up in my LJ for commentary. It falls under the heading of "Yes, Captain Obvious, I know it's not done yet."

Now why on earth would you ever post something unfinished for commentary? Imagine that!

Ahhh, I was wondering what exactly brought this and this on (Update: Myph apologised kinda in that journal entry as well, and I love the way s/he/it can't tell whether they're being mocked or not). Now my eyes are open...

I fucken love the girl though. She has brainwashed me with her army of irresistable unicorn boys snuggling each other adorably, in a totally squee-inducing pathetic fangirl objective-art-appreciation way of course *coughs*. So I'm just going to wander over here and side with her "BROWSER SQUARE = HAPPY FUN TIME" philosophy, cos dude, it's a gay unicorn boy in a dress made out of wrapping paper. Not exactly the Monafuckinglisa.

The upside of the wank is that thanks to DA's screwed system that says popularity=notoriety=good art, this scored somewhere around the top favourites in its category for the day. KLAR WINS!!1one And so do I, because now I'll never have to look at DA to see Klar's art updates again...

And I want some of what Sasha's on. That shit must be good...

I think it's the hampster socks. Or the "oreos".

Remember, kids, this is DeviantArt, where your perceived artistic ability level is directly proportionate to the size of your boobs and the number of your "artworks" that feature them.

Hey! I think I'm reasonably popular and I don't feature boobs!

and, dammit, DA's down so I can't link to my naked man-butt picture and finish the joke...

I love Sashamya's art to bits, but man... she is a world class wanka. I figured she'd show up here sooner or later. To this girl, the word "tact" is just a four letter word starting with "t".
