disclaimer: i don't think i'm qualified to rant but here it goes
i was typing in a rush so there will be tons of grammar errors. sorry
first up: the what's hot page on deviant art
deviant art, it isn't your fault! its the users. some art really annoys me. most of all, photos. pictures of girls in their underwear and in sexy poses. this isn't a victoria secret catalog! i understand if it's a drawing of that, you made the costume, she's wearing some sort of makeup or something you made. maybe you did photo manipulation or something. thats fine. but just pictures, even if they're good pictures, annoy me so much! the only reason they're on the what's hot list, its because people think the model is hot, not the picture. if you take this picture, ok, make sure you actually do some art. let's say just you take the picture really well. great! but, please, don't favorite, comment, or anything because of the model! fave and comment for the picture, or drawing, or whatever. NOT FOR THE MODEL. okay, maybe some people disagree, thats fine. i'm not qualified to rant anyways, but thats my opinion. possibly i'm wrong, maybe people like and fave for the photography not the girl, then i'm sorry. it just seems suspicious that beautifully taken pictures of other things go unnoticed, yet these shots suddenly become so popular.
next up: education
this has nothing to do with deviant art. i just want to rant. look at the title.
so, university, college, LOTS OF MONEY. who can afford that? either fall in debt or don't go to college. look, other countries. This concerns me because i am one of the people who is still in school and want to go to college, and i will, but seriously, i don't get how people who aren't really rich can afford it, especially if they want to go to a good college or university, like i hope to (i want to take digital design in stanford, but 1. its super hard to get in and 2. again, the cost is crazy. so i will go somewhere else) Denmark, for example, you get accepted to a college, and not only you go for free, but they pay for your basic needs. you get money so you can afford housing and food! That's a government that wants their next generation to be educated and change the world for the better. Why aren't we funding this? honestly, maybe the us wants children to be educated, but this way, they won't. I'm telling you, if this continues, the next einstein will under no circumstances, be from the USA. in fact, if we wan't anyone to be well educated, we need to change our ways now.
i hope to rant again soon! sorry for my highly uneducated opinion for getting shoved into your face
