So today, while doing my usual daily DA front page look, I came across a picture that grew such a feedback, that I obviously had to look. It was this picture here: [link]

This picture specifically shows Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII being rather... large, while indulging herself on a fudgcicle. Now, the quality of the picture is what kind of got me a bit, it was a bit lower, something you don't often see on the front page of DA. Which, let me say, does make me happy though, it means lesser artists are finally going somewhere. Now, while scrolling down to leave a comment, I was bombarded by a huge selection of comments dedicated to flaming not only the art, but the artist. Nothing but rude comments on how disgusting the picture was and how "fat is disgusting". Almost none of these comments were towards critiue, which is what trully disturbed me. Isn't the point of DA to make aq name for ourselves, by seeking the help of our fellow artists to see what our flaws our and improve on? If say, their comments were critique, then thats just saying fat is bad. This again, disgusts me to no lengths.

Can we, as fellow artists and DA members, be that low to bash a "lesser" artist and his/her work?

Shouldn't we be critiquing her drawing quaility, telling her what she can improve on to be a better artist? Or is that just way too much to ask...

I remember back in the day when I drew Garaa from Naruto in my style and got a few flames for it because it wasn't "Naruto-ie" enough... *sighs*

I ask all of you to not only critiue work you find online, but also leave more adult comments on it, to show that DA isn't full of pertencious artists.

Or again, is that too much to ask?

As Wolf Parade greatly put it, I'm not in love with the modern world.
