End the Cycle...
Journal Entry: Fri Jan 18, 2008, 5:45 PM
I see this too much. Especially toward anime artists in the DA community. I can understand where much of it comes from. I too get tired of the fanart that works to the front page everyday, out favoriting someone who is wonderfully talented but gets no recognition. But I appreciate the heart that went into the drawing, I appreciate the artist behind it, nevertheless. Is it their fault? Not at all. Even if I feel this way, that I can relate, I get painted with a cruel brush: "Anime freak" who has "no taste in true art". Of course it makes me angry. I came to DA to draw because I love it.. and want to share it with people that like it as well, not be criticized about what I like.. I'm not here to criticize you on what you like.
I'm here to draw. I will never do that to you. And I've vowed to make a stand because I respect you. Even if I've never seen your face.. Even if you think I'm a complete wierdo. So.. what about you? I'm not looking to start the very war/battle spoken off (which will probably happen just to test my sanity and create irony! XD aha). You can either agree or disagree, I just hope in my heart that you agree. If you do, why not post this in your journal, too? Because I think that would be.. just wonderful... ♥
End The Cycle of "Hit And Run" Opinions.
I believe that expressing your opinion is your right. Your opinions tell others who you are, what you stand for. I want to know those things about you! I want to know what you believe in, because I'll see you shining through. You, the wonderul, unique individual that reads this. I believe in the importance of your opinion. What I don't care for is the staggering amount of 'opinions' that blatantly slash, flame, insult and spit on an artist, genre or style. To say anything with the intent to insult, offend or wound another, to intimidate them, is not a right; I consider it bullying. And that is not 'okay'. I feel that way and I know many others do.
There is a difference between saying "I, personally, don't like it", because you do have the right to that, and "I hate this junk! It makes me so sick to even see it! Anyone who likes this stuff must have disintegrated their sense of taste!!". Where do we see the respect? We're better than this! Bullying, insulting, offending or whatever you want to look at it, is not an 'opinion'.. an 'opinion' at the expense of another. And we may live in a world with deteriorating values, harsh realities and cruelties that have desensitized us beyond all compare.. But I believe everyone has the right to be respected. Including you, reading this. Especially you. You deserve to be treated with respect just as much as the next person. Even if you've insulted me -- be it a month ago.. a minute ago. I will never treat you as though you do not deserve respect. Even if I've never seen your face. I hope you feel this way too.. Because I believe in your right.
I will never deliver you a "Hit and Run"...
Because you deserve better.
