Hey people

I do believe in freedom of speech and ideas. With all my heart. But I also believe that people should respect each other and that the call out to hate and bigottery should never be accepted.

However, in a site where there are dozens of ways to prevent what is considered "mature content"  I am astonish that images appealing to nazi ideas, or bashing gays or calling Muslim people wolfs (or worst), are accepted without a second thought.

When I saw some of them I, naive that I am, reported them and made a complaint to the desk office - they have a report system for hate posts, so I thought I was going to be fine.
Wrong! The nice people from the offices replied to me, saying that they can't consider it bigoted content.
Sex toys are a subject of inflamed discussions and swastikas, nazi propaganda and hate statements are ok?
Is this the world we want?

DA policy states:
"We must insist that you refrain from comments which are racist, bigoted, or which otherwise offensively target a philosophy or religion. In addition we ask that our members avoid making offensive remarks based on gender or sexual preference and that you do not make any remark, comment or critique which is intended to be a direct insult to an individual, group, or genre of artwork. Hate propaganda is met with zero tolerance. Comments which are overly aggressive, personally insulting or needlessly abusive are also prohibited."

So why are there posts (hundreds) like these?:
luckmann.deviantart.com/art/Fu…
berzerkr.deviantart.com/art/Mu…
future-blitzkrieg.deviantart.c…

as well as "specialised groups".
8nationalsocialism8.deviantart…
dasschwarzekorps.deviantart.co…

I don't usually vent out or preach about my ideas. But some times we really have to make a line on the ground and say: That is where it ends.

Who knows.... maybe if a lot of people complaint about the flagrant display of hate they will stop and take a good look...

Please do something about it too.

So... here we are again: at the end of another year (if we don't all die in a couple of days).
It's been a rather good year work wise, and most of it I owe to you, the DA community.
So thank you so much for your views, your favs, your comments and your support.

Wish you all happy holidays and a great 2013

LOVE YOU!

The Super status of :iconcomicteamup: has expired.

As you probably know, this is an awesome group that hosts high quality comic art, and welcomes pencilers, inkers and colorists.

So, if you can, please donate some points to help get the Super back

Thank you all




Thank you for the fav by fear-the-brilliance
