I'm too tired to make too much sense at the moment. Quitting smoking is fraying my nerves, and I just don't have it in me to continue my irate behavior.
Apparently it's okay to post porn in the art forum if it has tits and an ass. If it lacks the preceding qualities, it is offensive, or so I've yet to be proven otherwise. Apparently it's preferable to bring people a hard-on as opposed to an intellectual experience.
Also, my "textbook" art criticisms aren't good enough anymore. Yes, I'm getting a degree in Fine Art. No, that does not mean that my criticisms are based on some sort of indoctrination. The dumb ass that posted the picture below expressly stated that the piece was simply porn. I criticized it for being such, as the Art Portal is supposed to frown upon porn. Looks like hypocrisy isn't only popular among most members, but it seems the moderators too.
But no, they don't see it that way at all, do they?

Gotta say I agree wholeheartedly. Some of the stuff I see slip through in the name of 'art' only because it has sexual, idealized, pornographic female figures; often when there is little technical skill to be seen, makes me despair. Especially when I see the grossly overrated score and reviews given by the horny teen masses with no comprehension of the art world. Makes a mockery of the entire art portal. /Rant.
