OK, so many of us have joined InkBunny, and so far, we like all the features it offers. Wonderful, right?
Then I receive a private note in regards to the reputation of those that run this site... What they do, and what they have done...
Believe me when I say that I was not happy to learn these facts...........
However................ I am not leaving...... Why? I will tell you....
A while back, there was an uproar over FA allowing questionable material to be posted. Many artists left, and others stayed. Many people who remained.... are now pointing the finger. I can understand WHY they would be, but if you ask me, when you look at the clean facts.... both sites stand upon the same soil... the same foundations---- and if I am not mistaken, both had TIES to each other within the last couple years.
Shall I go on? I think I shall...
Nearly any artist site you go to will have some kind of ridiculous drama going on, and all will have questionable garbage within. Each one will have admin and content issues that many will disagree with. Heck...THE most popular artist site out there posts REAL LIVE PORNOGRAPHY all the time, yet get away with it by claiming it as "artistic photography." And sure, there may be one or two art sites out there that MAY have better rules in their TOS that more people can agree with... but their user interface is severely LACKING, or the moderators are just downright ridiculous.
Do I condone/support the negative things that go on in this website? HELL NO. In fact, there's a lot of bullshit OUTSIDE the internet that I do not condone. With that in mind, should I leave the city I am in, when the laws of that city allow wickedness to thrive within its walls? If so... where can I find a city that does NOT contain any similar activity?
.....
The same can be said for this website... Really, I see NO difference between this site and others, other than the fact that this site allows one to INDIVIDUALLY AND COMPLETELY BLOCK ALL MATERIAL THAT HE/SHE FINDS OFFENSIVE, along with MANY OTHER content control abilities that other sites currently do not offer.
What does this mean? It means that, much like the real world, each person here is responsible for their own actions... and their own crimes... and they can do so without shoving it down others' throats (assuming they tag their images properly, of course).
In the end, everyone will suffer for their crimes, great and small. No matter what you believe, karma's a harsh BITCH. I have a gallery here to showcase my art, and that in NO way promotes any garbage that goes on outside of my control... I do, however, understand that this site takes out a fee for money handling and print services, and that should only be because such services need the funding in order to continue operations. If that money goes toward the production of negative material, that will be a decision made by someone else... and not myself.
...And if someone DOES happen to make that decision... well, again... karma's gonna be a bitch.
