Some idiot handled RGNET posts in dA's equivalent of a "General Chat" forum about how dA sucks, titled "deviantCRAP". Included are the usual generalizations about
FEMALE EROTIC NUDITY
[sic]being the most popular art on the site.

The first reply is him getting pwned. Elsewhere in the thread is him holding up his "I've been here since 2002! I've been here since 2002!" badge.

Ursuki points out that the OP is being wanky. OP responds with the old "BCUZ U CAN'T SEE IT DOESNT MEAN IT ISN'T TRUE" arguement, also knows as "you don't understand me!" (Dangit, I could've sworn there was a jurism law about this. Something about how the amount of complaining a wanker does that their opposition doesn't understand their arguement is inversely proportional to the validity of said arguement. Oh, wait, that's almost identical to my old Hawkins' law.) WorstCaseGenius calls his bluff. Mangapunksai, one of the Gallery Directors, basically says "entitlement much"? He responds with "u don't understand me". RockstarVanity defeats him with logic;
Nope, not public demand. Public supply. People don't get paid by the pageview or fav, so we put up art that we create and that we like. The low amount of male nudity on here isn't due to 'public demand' or any unfairness or conspiracy - it's just because not as many artists post images of male nudes. Less female nudes wouldn't automatically create more male nudes, like less pictures of cats wouldn't mean there would be more pictures of dogs.

You're not revealing the 'truth' about anything, you're just making yourself look like a bitter and twisted tinfoil helmet wearer. If you don't like the images here, don't look at the site. Or just don't look at the crap images. No-one makes you do that. Less crappy looking stuff wouldn't make there be more great stuff - it would just make less stuff with a higher percentage of quality work, but it would also mean that someone would be in the position of choosing what was art and what wasn't, and the site wouldn't be the open creative place that it is now.


Needless to say, RGnet is a pretentious artist with less than twenty pieces in his gallery, and such masterworks as this to his name.

Wow, he can draw circles. I'm impressed, although this skill is completely wasted on drawing planets. He should use it to draw anime boobies instead.

*blinks at images*

Them's some nice planets, but...yeah. It looks like he's just goofing off with 3D rendering plus texture, and not a lot else.

He's trying to pass himself off as a great iconoclast, but really I think he's just irritated because it seems nobody likes looking at his really big balls.

And his written work is just no thanks.

His photography is just... boring. It looks like the stuff I used to take in my backyard when I was little.

Yeah.

I don't have much talent for nature photos...unless they're stupid images of ugly roots, stupid images of my cat tinneling under a shrubbery, stupid pictures of a chickadee horde gorfing the berries on our sumacs, or stupid pictures of obese worms.

Keyword here: stupid. XD

I have nothing but awe for people who've a talent for photography. Boyfiend does wicked b/w work, my sister takes these SURREAL polaroids with expired film, and wow on both counts.

However there's no photo wow in the OP's gallery alas. It's a rock and a violet. It's pretty but dull.

::eyes the planets::

I do a bit of space art myself, but I fully admit it's mostly Photoshop tricks and nice composition. His look rather tricky to my eye -- mostly filters instead of some filters and some actual drawing.

I am going to agree on the female erotic nudity. I went on there this morning and noticed that at least half of the devfaves were f.e.n.

I mean, I love boobies as much as the next gal, but I go on there to find tips, tricks and inspiration. Not a naked chick straddling a rocket. Even if she is hot.

I don't see many n00dz at all over there, so it all seems ridiculous to me. Maybe I'm just not browsing the same parts of the site as you all. (I just look through the favorites of artists I like, usually.)

You get a plastic bracelet that says "WWGMD" or "What Would Ginmar Do"? the answer to which is invaribly "freak out and act like a psycho bitch".

Wow. His stuff is really amazing.

I'd also like to present my latest masterpiece.

It's a social commentary.

Female nudes are erotic?

I think gay men and straight women would like to say otherwise...

(Reply to this)(Thread)


[info]felinephoenix
2005-11-28 06:27 am UTC (link)
Hee, true! Though some straight women do find female nudes erotic, since it gives them someone to relate to in erotica/smut/pr0n, even though they're sexually attracted to men. And by "some straight women" I mean me.

Not necessarily. I'm a streight girl and I can appreciate the erotic nature of a female nude. Doesn't mean I wanna do her, it just means there's something erotic about it. I'm sure many gay guys would agree. Of course, most of the "erotic" nudes I see aren't really erotic, mostly because they're trying too hard. I think subtlety is way more sexy than all the posing that goes on.

*anonymouse runs in*

Also, there's the fact that one person's erotic female nude is another person's really well-done anatomy study. Jus' sayin. o_o/

What I wanna stop seein' in DA is webcam addicts emoposing (ie they make a constant :( face) for the camera and flooding the stock image section with ten to fifty of the exact same images from slightly different angles. :O At least, it was like that last I ever tried to use it for references.

DA's daily deviations are a little repetitive, I guess.

Female erotic nudity isn't bad. In fact it can make for wonderful art, and most of the boobies posted are wonderful art in some form or another. But... Do we need six a day?

There are a lot of female nudity dailydevs... and most of them are pretty similar. I don't like it, but w/e.

DA is so wanky I'm surpirsed it isn't up here more often. They wine about female nudes every day.

Remember the days when dA was about the art and not the boobies?

Yeah, me neither.
