I've been a member of Gaia for a little over a year now....don't believe what it says in my profile, I talked to a mod to get it fixed, but it never happened. Anyway.....see, I already started....that's what my journal is mostly going to be made up of.....I guess you can call them rants, but I call it complaints.
I'm not only going to complain about things on Gaia....it's just things in general that get to me. And I won't do it often because I'm not really a big fan of the whole "journal system."
Ok, so, like the title says, I enjoyed the time I was gone. I left Gaia for a while because I was just so irritated with the site and the people on it.
I started a minishop that I couldn't even keep up with, for like the 3rd or 4th time......I got overwhelmed with the requests and I got burned out on making them. Then, on the side, there were the people that just irritate the hell out of me. I know that there's a lot of children on this site, but there's some pretty ignorant "older people" too. I had to put up with a stalker for a while because I couldn't get through to any mods. That was the last thing that got to me. Anyway, I got tired of people constantly trying to start crap with me if I disagreed with them or if they disagreed with me. I know I'm not the only person on this site that has had to put up with these things, but we all handle things a little differently then others.
I'm tired of the things that are constantly happening with the site itself....I know it's free, but come on, kick all the people off before trying to make changes to it.....you know what I mean?
About the ignorant people, already on my second day back, I had to put up with people's ignorance. And the funny thing is, it's the exact same thing that made me leave in the first place....well, one of the things.
Why can't people read before commenting on stuff. I mean, if the person has written a page to describe/explain the picture, then I understand.....but if it's just "Soandso drew this, I colored it" then the people that don't read or just don't acknowledge it need to have each and every one of their fingers broken and maybe they'll learn their lesson by the time their fingers heal......so to speak.
I experienced that today. This poor girl just wanted to show off her coloring skills, and it's obvious she's a beginner, but the only things people were paying attention to and harassing her about were the flaws in the drawing itself.
"Her boobs are too big!"
"What's with her boobs?!"
"Her anatomy is weird!"
"What do you want us to critique? The drawing or the coloring?"
I'm just sitting there like, OMFG.....
Naturally, I had to say something. It was things like this that made me have almost nothing good to say about this site. It actually put a lot of stress on me.....and I think that's because I couldn't personally slap each and every person that pissed me off.
I'm also tired of running into really crappy art, please forgive me for saying that, that gets all these awesome comments but then great work that no one really pays attention to. Do the good artists just come on at the wrong time or something? I mean, I'll post something pretty much at the same time as someone else, but it's obvious my picture is way better, no I'm not conceited, and they're the first to get like 20 comments in 3 seconds....while I'm just sitting here watching my picture sink to the second page. I mean, so many people have their noses shoved so far up everyone's butts, on this site, I'm surprised they don't just swim in each other's crap....
If you see a picture that isn't good, tell the person, but in a constructive way. Don't crap lollipops and unicorns and do back flips for them, it won't help them out. Save your great comments for really good work, for artists that actually deserve it.
And I think that's pretty much all I can think of for this journal entry. I thank you, if you actually read this far......
