What the hell happened to the dolling community?

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 10, 2008, 9:33 PM
  • Mood: Stupefied
  • Listening to: Your bullcrap.
  • Reading: Your insincere replies.
  • Watching: You steal our art.
Yes, this is a rant, I'm taking after Blue apparently. *kisses fer you*

Firstly, let me say that I'm not a bitchy person by nature, or one who likes to write novels about the wrongs of the world, but I felt like I needed this out of my system, to make ME feel better at least, and see if I'm not insane, if anyone else noticed it too.

What really cracks me up is a certain "LOOK! I'M GAY! SEE? CHECK OUT ALL MY RAINBOWS!" (props fer gays, but honestly, you don't have to keep telling me, I get it) person who continues to rip off anything/anyone she can, and sit back and watch as her minions applaud her fantastic art. A certain someone who ripped off art of a dear friend of mine one minute, and was stealing parts of my bases the next. I put my bases up for others to use, not to abuse. They're meant as a template, and I give all liberties with them, as long as a small credit is given back to me. I don't upload them so others can mutilate them into some ugly transexual base and call it their own.

Granted this person WOULD have talent, though when their works are paraded behind the artworks of others, how can anyone really TELL if there's real talent there or if everything is just a spinoff or caricature of someone else's passion-filled hours of work?

Another "Zomg, I am FEMOUS ON DAH INTERWEBZ" artist recently ripped off Angy-chan. Are you missing your brain cells? The majority of dollers know angy-chan. And most of them know she's better than you. Am I bitchy? Probably, but I'm also right, so that justifies it. :D

Next, when did the dolling community turn into some parade run by power-happy tyrants just dying to catch you doing something wrong? I get that rules in dolling forums are there for good reasons. To protect the artists. But when does it go from protection to sheer harassment? How many times can you warn someone for not using a post icon or putting a vital word in your topic title before it just gets boring? Does it ever?
At forums, I feel one of two ways. I either feel like a little sheltered child, scared to speak or roam due to fear of punishment and nagging.. or I feel like I'm in a madhouse run by frankendollers and narcissists.

I think it's time for dolling communities to become MORE than just 13 year old girls working ten minutes on a doll and getting high praise, more than just mothers treating fellow artists like their own children, more than making a shabby doll to earn currency, more than making a gift for a big doller in the hopes of getting something good in return, more than 3 word comments just to get the post count up, and definitely more than an immature breeding ground for theft and trash-talking. Dolling needs to get SOPHISTICATED.

WHO IS FUCKING -WITH- ME? lol

Hi Miss Alice
In your glass eye, what kind of dream are you seeing?
Have you been entranced?
Once again my heart has been split in two, and is pouring out
The repaired memories are trapped in the space left behind
Still you do not answer

Dealing with God is like dealing with a card dealer who plays with blank cards, won’t tell you the rules of the game, won’t tell you the stakes, and just smiles all the time.
