This is my first entry since about a year. The reason is: I don't really like the whole journal thing. People see when I upload a new deviations and I have a blog to inform interested people about some other stuff.
Today, however, I have to talk about a rather important issue.
I know, some people will think this is about my own "personal issues" or my personal beliefs or my heritage, but actually it's not. This is about how much DA sickens me and others. There have been talks about anti-semitism on DA, which has not been censored. Maybe some deviations have been taken down, maybe some people got banned, but in the end, not much has changed.
Ever searched for "hitler", "jewish", "wwii" or anythin alike at DA? Probably you haven't, because I guess I there is not much point for a normal person in doing so. Well, I coincidentally came across some strange pro-Hitler manga painting a few months ago. I started a discussion with the "artist", but I never thought of reporting it, because what was to be seen was only offensive to those (including me) who don't think "Hey, that Hitler was just some odd and funny guy".
Today, I again came across a pro-nazi-picture in one of the clubs I'm in. And that is when I began to start some research. There actually is some sort of Nazi-DA-underground. I would like to have a better expression for this, but my English is not good enough, I guess. This is something I can't tolerate. And I can't tolerate that the DA administration is not willing to do anything against the anti-semitism, racism and neo-nationalsocialism on this so-called "art platform".
Apart from my political background and the fact, that in my oppinion tolerance stops when people offend other people, even in a passive way, I also feel like I'm not taken seriously when talking about the history of the country I come from, about the guilt even my generation feels when it comes to WWII and that there actually is no way to talk about this in a senseful manner, because the people on this site telling stories about WWII and Hitler actually know so much more about it and I actually don't know nothing because I seriously think the holocaust really happened. Seriously, screw you guys.
I don't want to be part of a community which tolerates any form of racism or anti-semitism. Even art has its limits.
To those of you who are interested in my art: Visit my myspace-Account to stay in contact. I am hoping to release a homepage with my clothing on it until summer and will post the link here.
I'm really sorry, but I can't take this shit anymore.
I'm still gonna look through my deviantwatch, wouldn't wanna miss on anyone of you

xxx,
