At last check dA was up to 53mil+ deviations and they continue to increase by the minute... so why do people feel the need to leave hateful or hurtful comments on some one's postings? I am secure enough in my appearance to either shut them down (without resorting to their immature levels) or I just ignore them, but there are young women on this site that already have a poor self image and are just trying to feel better about themselves. They read the comments that ignorant people leave and feel that much worse about themselves... is that the goal? Do these hatemongers get a thrill from making someone else miserable? They must dislike themselves or their own lives so much that they can not abide anyone else being happy. They are nothing more than 8 year old bullies on the playground!
I am much more impressed with the women and men that take the risks and put themselves out there! The courage and strength of character of these people is what make DeviantArt a wonderful community. Humans come in all different shapes and sizes and I think that all those forms are beautiful! Be sure to check out the wonderful work by the following Deviants! I love their galleries! They are not the only ones of course, but I simply can not list everyone on here at once! lol
