I know I'm starting to get up on a bit of a soap box recently, but I just get so tired of people getting so bullied by haters around here. I'm not a social network kind of person (I never check my MySpace, and I don't even have a Facebook), so when by brother first told me about DeviantArt, I had never heard of anything like it. Art is my passion in life - be it drawing, painting, having fun with my tablet, writing fanfiction, or whatever. It's such a freeing and uplifting thing. And when I found out that there is a place where everyone can get together to express their love of art - of any kind of art - It sounded like a dream.
Since joining the DeviantArt family, I have met some wonderful, talented, imaginative people. I have also met some kind, generous, and caring people. Watchers - I love each and every one of you, and I thank you for thinking I am worthy of your interest. To those whom I am watching - I love seeing your amazing artwork. Some of you are less experienced than others, and some of you have to work harder to produce a good piece of artwork, but it has been a real joy to watch you grow as artists. DeviantArt has been an amazing experience for me, and I hope it is something I will be a part of for the rest of my life.
That's why it tears me apart to see people on here who have nothing better to do than post hateful comments about artwork that doesn't measure up to their standards, or happens to portray a view different from their own. Critique is one thing. I'm fine with that - we need insightful and patient critique. It helps us grow and makes us better artists. But dissing someone's work just for the sake of dissing it only causes hurt feelings.
I've been extremely lucky. So far, I haven't had any haters to speak of. But it really raises my ire when I see it happening to someone else. Flamers and trolls, if you don't like someone's art, just leave it alone. Nobody's making you look at it.
To artists who are always being flamed, this stamp is for you, my dear friends. If someone doesn't have enough culture to be civilized in their comments, then they're not worth your time.
Feel free to use this stamp however you like. Just be sure to credit me where appropriate.
Also, a special thank-you to $zilla774 for making such a great template for me to use.
If you don't want me to say thank you, then don't fave it. If you accuse me of not looking at your profile, I will turn right around and accuse you of not reading the artist comments.
People need to get over things, whether its a hated character,shipping,game,movie or whatever. People comment way too much about that stuff instead of what the picture looks like.
lol I had someone call me a pussy and told me to go back to making sandwiches like a woman should.Then he bloked me. Oh well! XDDD I've been called worse by my mother!
Oh yes. I submit such variety of content that I know sooner or later someone will get pissed of Even if I put warnings etc on stuff that might get that kind response, I'm just waiting for the day the first hater pops up.
"If you don't like my comment that's your problem not mine Don't reply to it And have a nice day"
Freedom for all, you are allowed to upload freely, others are free to comment as well If you don't like a comment you can ignore it too, or just disable comments I don't want to flame, I just want to point that your stamp is like a big "SHUT UP IF U ARE GONNA MAKE ME BUTTHURT ", I can't stand people that ask others to shut up, instead of that, learn to take easy opinions of people that you will never meet
I couldn't agree with this more....I've noticed the same exact thing about this site. It's a wonderful site and has a lot of kind and friendly people, but there always has to be some haters around to bring you down.
I think anyone can relate to this stamp. Good job! I really like it, &I am using it on my profile. The image is linked back to this url so credit is given, thank you!
I see a lot of people who are sticking up for others who are being "flamed for no good reason." I have to say (and this is not in disagreement with this stamp) - I can't think of a good reason for flaming someone's art. If you don't like it, then don't comment at all or post a thoughtful critique with suggestions for improvements (ignoring the flame responses from the whiners who can't take criticism - especially the ones who think they are mucho grande king of art when they're really doodles on notebook paper). Even art that goes against the ToS doesn't provide you with an excuse to flame it; if you see a picture that violates the ToS (stolen, pornographic, whatever), then politely ask the deviant to remove it. If that deviant doesn't remove it, simply report the piece and move on, even if the deviant is rude towards you. (Block the deviant if the rudeness spills over onto your page or targets you in the forums.)
I like this stamp a lot though it makes no sense why someone would fave something they don't like. I know stamps are small but "Don't comment" should fit.

that's your problem
