i get back on to this name after 2 bloody years and find that some boob reported one of my deviations, not for nudity, not for copyright issues, not for racism, not for illegalness, but rather, for no other reason than they were offended by the subject of necrophilia. it was just a damn story, and i reckon at the time i sent it in i should have put a mature label on it, perhaps that's why it was deleted. i think the main reason though, is that people will find a story (hell it was titled "Dead Girls Don't Say No") and they'll report it because they don't like the subject matter (they can always CHOOSE NOT TO READ IT!!!!). what group the story offended i don't fucking know but apparently it offended some random person (no doubt a prude; ooo another violation). who the hell did it i don't know nor do i give a flying fuck. what i do care about is that certain types of "art" are being supressed because of supposed offensiveness. like i said, it had no nudity, it was not outright porn (it was a transgressive story about the adventure of a necrophilic man and the joy of cemeteries lol) it didn't depict anything to horribly graphic, no worse than what's on the telly at night on HBO (i'm not saying the pornos, i'm talking about the late night movies). yet, somehow, this story came across as horrible, disgusting, and not to mention downright wrong. it was meant to be that way, that's what made it art not just sickness. it was a quick short bit of story that told of a man's sickly desires for a woman he had a crush on in highschool and later found had died a few years after graduation. i may submit the damn thing again, no doubt pissing the world off (some people did like the story and added it to their favourites) and probably getting booted from DA altogether, but i'm standing up for something here, there's a principle. Not a damn thing was wrong with that story other than it made someone disgusted. Isn't art supposed to induce different feelings? Is that not what art is? Art is feeling and emotion and all that jazz mixed together. Sometimes the world needs a little different reaction than the usual happy/sad/anger, sometimes the disgusting/pissed/astonished feelings need to be brought out. it's not like it was real, nothing but PURE FICTION. i could go on, but hell, i've stated my point and i doubt anyone will read this bullshit anyway. (grrr
