Pointless rant
May. 3rd, 2011 12:11 amI have a bunch of shit in my rl that is bogging me down and making me grumpy, so in the true spirit of being a bully, I'm going to shit on some defenseless people in the form of a rant.
Please keep in mind, this is just me blowing off steam. These are just my (stupid) opinions, and you are welcome to disagree with me, and we can still even be friends, even if we don't happen to think exactly alike.
Poser programs. What the ever fucking hell? This is not art, and should NEVER be submitted as art anywhere. The people look fake and creepy and I HATE looking at them. Are they fun to play with? Hell, I don't know. Is it difficult to ... do whatever you do to them (pick hair colour and clothes??) probably. Are they art? NO, NO THEY ARE NOT.
I don't mind if you like them, I don't mind if you enjoy playing with them, but it burns my ass when I'm looking at dA or Y!gallery and see creepy naked sims people instead of actual art. I wouldn't even mind if you posted them, just don't post them as art.
I have similar feelings (albeit less rabid) about photoshopping. I really think they need a different tag, because they are a different animal. I don't even mind looking at them, but I hate opening up something that I think is a drawing ,when it's a photomanipulation.
I know they are hard to make, and do take a certain amount of skill and talent, but THEY'RE NOT ART! (in the 'drawing' sense.) They should be labelled as such.
furries Again, I don't get it. I have some wonderful lovely furries on my list, and I love them to bits. BUT I DON'T GET IT! I really just ... I don't see why you would want to put a tail on a person. Or big fluffy ears. Or ... yanno, tits on a squirrel. *snorfle*
You are a funny bunch, but at least you are mostly lovely people.
I have similar feelings about wings. I would like to fly as much as the next person, but I have never been compelled to draw wings on people. Perhaps its a branch of furry? ;) I don't mind that people do it, and some really do it well, I just ... dont' think their shirts would fit very well. And you could never lay on your back ... or uh .. drive in a car.
I'm not judging here. (yeah, okay, I totally am) but not in a "I'm better than you" way, just in a ... wtf kind of way. it's like .. pumpkin pie and egg nog. They are viable foods, but I DON'T GET WHY PEOPLE LIKE THEM. Why would you even TRY to drink something called Egg Nog? *iz baffled*
Or country music. Okay, I won't even GO there. Yokels need entertainment too. Esp since they can't read.
And sure, there are lots of people (I'm sure) who wonder, "WTH is tripperfunster thinking? Why does she draw a man fellating a platypus? How much gay/squicky/old man art can one person endure?" I get that I like things that other people find horrifying and possibly illegal. And they are welcome to rant about it in their journals. :D but totes link me so I can cry butthurt, m'kay?
Okay, I'm done. See? I feel better now. And you probably do too. Unless, of course, you are one of the people that I just crapped on. Please to realize that I love you, despite your horrible taste in art/music/food. I really do! diversity is what makes the world go 'round. Well, that and porn, of course.
Feel free to crap right back at me in comments. <3
Edit: Okay, looking back over this, it comes across much meaner than I've intended. I'm really trying to be tongue in cheek and not just nasty. Try to read it with a goofy sarcastic lilt. Or drink lots of booze first. It will help.
Edit the second: OMG OC's! I forgot to rant about OC's. Again, write/draw them if you like them, but don't expect me to read/look at them. CANNOT STAND THEM! Thinly veild self inserts.
Oh! Oh! One moar! Humanizing animal/anthropomorphic characters. I've mostly seen this in Phineas and Ferb (making Perry a human instead of a platypus) and in Megamind, making Minion a person instead of a fish. WHYYYYY? And then have them making out/sexing someone. WHHHHYYYYYYYY? Heinz doesn't recognize Perry without his frickin' HAT! He's sure as hell never going to realize this new, green haired man/boy is his nemesis.
Okay I'm done. .... for now....
