    Oh, by all means, note that I didn't say that's all that there is here. I have seen some impressive pieces. However, discovering them is rarely worth being bombarded with enough kindergartner 'art' to drop my IQ by a couple points. I've been with dA for a cumulative total of about seven years across two accounts, I've seen just about all it has to offer. I appreciate the few fine points it has, but by no means does it deserve the title of "People's Choice."

    Thank you, though. I've been through quite a few of them but this is the first one that feels unique.

    how about you shut your fucking mouth

    as someone who has had their art stolen dA didnt do a goddamn thing to remove the stolen images when i reported them. i had to take care of it myself. 

    when someone sent death threats to my friends dA told them to "lol just ignore them"

    when someone told my friend to kill themselves dA said the same thing. 

    when i reported galleries full of stolen art they didnt do anything because "well the original artist is from pixiv so we dont care about them"

    open your eyes

    dA treats its members like garbage and people like you who blind themselves to it for your convenience are just making everyone else think its ok.

    so fuck off.

    Well this "pixiv" isn't part of so why should they care about them? It's pixiv's own buisness. And u rly believe that those death threats r real? This is reality, how will that person even find ur friends? & if they did find ur friends, they could just call da police. And stop swearing, it makes u seem stupid since u don't have anything better to say, also if u hate so much, why not just deactivate ur account & leave? Ish that simple
