Finally back + artwork removed!

Thu Jul 5, 2007, 7:32 PM
I'm so happy to be back to DA after a year of focussing on other stuff in my life... :)

Thanks for the warm welcome back, it's great to find so many of my DA friends still here! :D

On a sadder note DA welcomed me back with a no-response message that notifies me that they removed one of my birth pictures... what do you all think of this??? I think it's insane and disgusting... none of the usual 'reasons' applies to me, just too graphic apparently. Pasted the auto-message below in case this journal entry doesn't get scrutinised and you can read it for yourself... I'm so pissed off at this!!

:hug: to you all

I'm so glad you're back! You are always one of my favorites, so creative and unusual.

DA Administrators. What can I say? Obviously, a completely subjective decision, based on the narrow-minded, provincial sensibilities of some power-drunk little sub-flunky!

Sorry. I get so pissed at the small-thinking naivety that surfaces all-too-frequently at DA. Among the "Administrators". Volunteer power-seekers, some of them. Hall monitors. Meter maids. Soup nazis!

DA is completely arbitrary depending on who is looking and when. Perhaps your shot was the RESULT of gratuitous sex (presumably) and hence it made the cut, so to speak. ;)

:iconpirate-soul:
I can understand why they did it. However I do totally disagree with it and think people are just to full of their own self-importance. Goddamn. I thought those photos were beautiful.

As a mother and a human being I cant understand why the hell they did it... I always liked that picture it shows one of the most important, most spiritual and natural moments in life. For me my pictures in my album of me giving birth to my baby girl are the most cherished ones, there is nothing sexual about it, nothing graphic or violent it is beautifull act. They should remove 101 squillion images of guys wanking off, and vagina shots not of childbirth. Things recently on DA really dissapoint me. I think all of this compounding is a good reason that I am not as active anymore.

I am glad to see you back, I am looking towards seeing many new submissions from you.

Thanks for that... rant! ;)

I completely agree with you, it made me feel so unwelcome, I can't understand why they are targeting such photos and it makes me sad... :(

Thanks for your words! :)
