If you involve yourself on the online artistic community DeviantART, you might be interested to know that they are currently promoting hate “art” as an acceptable submission to their site, despite the fact that their own rules clearly call for the deletion of such material.
Please do the right thing and spread the word. Keeping quiet only means this sort of thing can keep happening over and over again. It only take a second to report the piece as a violation on DA.
just… lovely
EDIT: this is what DA says: “Thank you for attempting to bring this deviation to the attention of the staff. Unfortunately this deviation does not meet the current definition for “Hate Art”. It is important to remember that actual “Hate Art” expresses clearly racist ideals, such as the genocide or enslavement of a certain race or class of people. A work which simply expresses a dislike or negative opinion for a subject is not “Hate Art” regardless of how strong that opinion might be expressed, neither are deviations which you simply find offensive because the beliefs or opinions are the opposite of your own. Please review our FAQ entry on the subject of “Hate Art” available here http://help.deviantart.com/12/ so that you can be more familiar with the official definition.”
Awesome. Really cool. BT
I read this and thought of this:
it’s also worth noting that dA has removed their “gender unspecified” option. so, you know, on top of making exceptions...
