-----------------------------------------------------------------------
so now it's about 4:40am, August 4th and fuck am I tired.
But my head is positively buzzing.
I just spent about 3 hours reading as much relevent stuff I could get my hands on about the current uproar deviantART.
Honestly, at first, I didn't really want anything to do with it. Like, AT ALL.
I figured I'd just ignore it and it would all sort itself out. I wasn't going to take sides, I wasn't going to bother with doing any more on here than I usually do. I would just sit in the back and wait.
Now admittedly I am not really an "active member" of the community. But recently I've been on at least a few hours every week (if not every day now that it's summer), looking around and commenting and even with the small amount of time I spend on here, I can't get away from the tension that seems to be steadily building everywhere, especially with dA's 5th birthday coming up. So in annoyance mostly I wanted to know what was going on (you can't blame me for being curious) and after going through all the imformation people have been organizing I must say I am shocked and outraged. I actually cannot believe what is going on here, and I don't even think I can fully understand all of it. I'm confused and angry to say the least, and though I know I said in the begining that I didn't want to take sides.
Fuck it.
I'm on jarks side in this one.
For the sheer principle behind his side of the argument as well. And for the lack of response we've been given by our "CEO" or whatever he wants to be called. I feel like I've been treated like an idiot. Like they just expect us all to sit here and take it, no questions asked. I think he thinks that now that he "is DeviantART" (so to speak) that we'll follow him like we did Jark but that's just not going to happen. He will never be DeviantART. Because THE DEVIANTS are DeviantART and without us all he would have is a big empty website and a fancy title and I seriously hope he knows that.
So in any case, now I want answers. And that seems to be the one thing I can't find.
I know I'm not the most eloquent speaker and I won't do as well as all the others who are voicing their concerns but as one of the little people of deviantART I felt the need to express my utter disgust at the way all this is being handled.
I know in general I act like I hate this place, but I actually kinda like it (even with it's horrible website quirks) and I acutally kinda like a lot of the people on here as well.
And I realize now that if there wasn't a dA I really don't know where I'd go.
In closing, I just want to say that I'm not going to go crazy now and hide all my art but I will be participating (most likely) in Yellow Day if I can make it on time and probably won't submit much else otherwise, but that's for personal reasons as well.
Thanks for reading this if you took the time n__n
And oh yeah, I joined one more club today.
