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.
