rape

Sat Mar 21, 2009, 7:11 AM
So it finally happened. My date rape series was deleted because someone reported it as theft. This really bothers me as I know that I gave credit where it was due, but because people were jealous of the fact that it gained a lot of popularity, they reported it. What pisses me off the most is that the point of it was not that I wanted to use someone else's work and plagiarize it. It was conceptual in nature. I came up with the concept, I looked on the internet for photographs that I thought would fit my concept and gave credit to that person. It was an unfinished school project and I still maintain the view that since it was not used for personal gain, and it was made to help victims of date rape, that it doesn't matter where I got the photos. If stock photos had had those images, I would have used them, but the fact is that they do not. I found nothing that fit my concept except for women posed with smiles on their faces in sexual poses.

What I was looking for, I found off of a website that artists use to reference for nude drawings. I had hundreds of letters from people who felt that I helped them because they were raped by someone they knew and the CONCEPT and not the photos were what got to them. I will be redoing the piece with my drawings of the women, just because you can't take down something I have drawn. But I will still be using the same photos in the end. Otherwise, I will expect deviantart to remove EVERYTHING on here that references an existing photo that the person did not pay for/create. I hope that everyone who does any kind of collage will also be nailed.

My note to the person who reported it? Get a life and don't just report something because a lot of people had faved it. You fuck.

Thanks.

A while back you did a picture of Takeuchi-sensei. Out club has archived this picture. However, I have noticed that this picture was taken down on your account. Could you please note us on if you would allow us to keep the picture or not? And if so, we are planning to move everything to a member folder. So we'd appreciate if you could upload it to scraps to :+fav: the picture to the appropriate collection. Thank you for your time and trouble.

Hi, this artwork can still be found on my deviantart page. It's just that you have to go past the first page or two. Here is the link, in case you can't find it:
