Description
As a community destination, deviantART is a platform that allows emerging and established artists to exhibit, promote, and share their works within a peer community dedicated to the arts. The site's vibrant social network environment receives over 160,000 daily uploads of original art works ranging from traditional media, such as painting and sculpture, to digital art, pixel art, films and anime. => about.deviantart.com/Also, this is related, so I suggest you check this out : the-baneblade.deviantart.com/j… xD
Okay, you have no idea how much I'm getting tired of stupid fat hoes posting shitloads of selfies in their gallery just for people to comfort themselves in their ugliness and to get, of course (since that's the main aim most people have here) , 7,4x10^14 views.
Seriously, if you find it interesting to be an attention-whore, why don't you do it on a website dedicated to such behaviors ... Like, FLICKR, PHOTOBUCKET, FACEBOOK?! WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO POLLUTE THIS WEBSITE with your shit?
I've been here for two years and a half now, I've only uploaded TWO SELFIES (and they weren't even part of my gallery to begin with, I put them in a separate folder for DeviantART IDs
I could do the same if I wanted to ... Why not putting a picture of my muscular ass in my gallery, after all? I bet it'd work well
But I don't, because , unlike some people here, I respect the people who watch and support me, by giving them what they are expecting from me : ACTUAL ART. I really doubt they'd want to see my ass ... .
Have self trust issues? Feel the need to have people to tell you how fugly beautiful you are? Fine, seek therapy, work on yourself, instead of forcing people in your useless game.
I AM NOT DONE YET!
BUT BAWWWWW, WHY IS THERE A PHOTOGRAPHY FOLDER THEN? BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
... Dear people. A few points I am willing to make :
First, the photography folder as a whole, as you may call it, is far from being made of portraits only ... There's pictures of anything, including landscapes ... There is more than your ass you can take a picture of with a camera
Second, I don't know about you, but I see a clear difference between people making actually artistic PHOTOGRAPHY (that includes : body art [such as nail art, cosmetics, cosplays ...] , fashion portraits, emotional portraits, historical portraits, erotic portraits [YES, HOWEVER, EROTIC STUFF IS ART.]... etc etc etc) , and people photographing their friend touching themselves in a bathroom with a duck face.
If you find the difference THAT HARD to seek, then... I highly doubt you're an artist, and therefore, you have nothing to do on DeviantART. Honestly, there should be a rule against such pictures, they should be banned just as Screenshots are.
At last, just because I'm well aware of the fact that some people will instantly go like
BAAAWWWW LET PPL UPLOD HWHATEVR DEY WANT ENDE RGALLERY :::'
... Am I forcing them to do anything? No. Sadly, being an idiot is not a bannable offense, therefore there's nothing I can do against them. However, despite being French, we both live in a free country , supporting freedom of speech, right?
They are allowed to post what ever they want in their gallery, as I'm allowed to tell how moronic their stuff is.
Have a nice day, everyone

i i dont know how i got here but ill just give my 2 cents
anything that is a form of expression can be defined as art so selfies can indeed be counted as art and you are an idiot

There are not that many unique ways to showcase one's face (poses and the like). I know people who sell makeup, and they're always posting pictures of themselves wearing the latest products, and it gets monotonous.
My favorite selfie is one my dad took. He turned the camera on himself at my sibling's wedding, and the out-of-focus, poorly-framed picture makes me smile when I see it.

If they're uploading a selfie to show people what they look like, I suppose it's fine.
If selfies are all they have then not really.
If they're clearly posed to make a scene (from history or a nature setting) I suppose it's fine).

Only follow one photographer on dA - 99% pictures of her preferred stuff to photograph and less than 1% of self photographs.

I was in math class and a girl said that she did photography. When asked by my math teacher what she does for photography, her answer was selfies. I wanted to tell her "selfies are not photography!" so badly, but I just stayed quiet with an annoyed expression on my face.

I use instagram for art, but the ONLY time I EVER posted a selfie was for a face reveal over instagram. I deleted it later that day.

I've seen some pretty creative selfies, like ones used for DeviantIDs that I would consider art. Most of them, not so much.

Then I wouldn't really call it a "selfie", more like a portrait

technically everything people create is art, but the question is, is it good art? Hell no it a very low, effortless form of art. the only thing you need to do is hold a smartphone in front of you and click. while actual photographers look for things such as light, background, pose, angle and so on. they take multiple pictures to get that one picture they are looking for, it takes time and effort to do it, selfies don't. they don't belong on Deviantart in my opinion, unless you want to use it as your profile picture. then one or 2 pics are enough.

Well, not everything people make is art... In that case, everything in this world is art, and you know that's not the case.
Apart from that, I completely agree with you!

yeah I heard many times that the definition of art is everything people make or create. (which I am not sure if it actually is the true definition or people's opinions) but it sure as hell shouldn't be :'D
thanks !

I posted a couple of self-portraits (With the use of a tripod, and remote shutter), but any of the hipster selfies I take (with my crappy webcam) go right to Facebook or Tumblr.

I remember a year ago when I told a girl selfies are not art and I told her why. She went flipped out crazy and send me a threat (I'm not scared of threats). After when I going to respond her. Guess what? She blocked me. xD
