Enjoy your PLASTIC FISH FOOD, sir and/or madam.
This is going to be a short journal since I'm at work, but I wanted to state something that I'd seen all across deviantART lately. As an older member of the site, it's especially annoying because I've been with dA through so many changes from site layout to surprising upsets in staff changes.
So, what's currently bothering me on dA?
ATTITUDES.
People all over are taking things and blowing them out of proportions all across our art community.
Immaturity abounds, apparently.
I would expect some of these attitudes from children. We do have a surprisingly large number of pre-teens on the site. It's practically normal for someone who's 12 to act immaturely because they're still just kids.
BUT, when anyone who's supposed to be profession whines, I can't condone it.
Like my journal title says, EVERYONE on dA needs to act their AGE, not their shoe size. We're all better than the shit that we whine about.
Sometimes, we all need to act maturely & responsibly. I have this problem too. THAT's why it bothers me so much. I want to help people be better than they are, but change starts individually inside of each person at different times & progresses differently for each of us.
So!
Let's just agree to disagree, instead of flaming people.
Let's act like the adults we are instead of our inner children, who still have psychiatric issues.
Let's move onward & forward with our art and ourselves!
AND
Let's leave the dArama to the dA Llamas!:thumb60411254:
