10:13a - Battle of the Art Sites
Okay, so everyone knows deviantArt. dA has been around a while, and changed in certain ways over time from when it first popped onto teh intraweb. It's gained members, and lost members, but is still one of The Big Dicks of art-sites online, and prides itself because of this.
Enter SheezyArt WARNING: NOT WORKSAFE. A much smaller, less hardcore/serious/professional kind of site, that caters to certain branches of art that tend to be scapegoated and attacked on dA a lot (read: furry, porn, anthro, porn, manga/anime art, fanart, porn, etc).
Many people on Sheezy seem to have been expressing some frustration with dA through their art and journals etc. Channel Cat comes out and says "Please stop, we don't want an art-site war."
Wank Ensures.
Some individuals who are disgruntled with dA express why, mkinne responds. More wank, with Godwin's Law being broken many times in reference to the dA staff. People who have had run-ins with the staff at dA give examples of why they left. mkinne is diplomatic.
Snowolf steps up to the plate.
Over at dA, a thread is created, bashing Sheezy. Individuals who call themselves "deviants" can't handle teh pr0n. SA supporters are told to STFU and not be deviant from the accepted generalisations of the thread. Resident elitists spout common dA rhetoric. And general wankery continues on and on and on, until the thread is closed, even with the original poster expressing surprise that it went on for so long.

Slightly old ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) mock_the_stupid wank.
Bratty_pest posts on the comunity saying (and this is paraphrasing) "My cleaning lady is really stupid! I showed her how to work the computer three times and explained everything to her, and she still didn't get it! That must be why she's only a cleaning lady." Several people respond immediately.
There's riverheart, who claims "There are a lot of reasons to be a cleaning lady, and many of them have nothing to do with stupidity. Your class bias is showing."
Then there's nate101000, who scolds "You should show more respect to someone who does a job you are too lazy to do."
Then funky_soul chimes in defending the OP, saying "IF this community is to mock people.. obviously it's all in good fun. If I was her cleaning lady, on my way home i'd be chuckling to myself thinking i had a brain fart or seomthing."
And every one of these responses spurns long, wank-filled threads! It's like a wank observer's paradise.
