I posted this in a few of the threads bitching about the banners, but I gave up after a while.
Feel free to link to this, if you need to.


"I'm going to re-emphasize all the points I've seen made.
1. Buy a fucking subscription, you cheap piece of shit. You can scrounge ten bucks, give it to a friend or family member with a credit card, and BAM! You've got a subscription, complete with a * and no banner ads.
2. If more people bought subscriptions instead of reposting the same tired thread over and over, sucking up bandwith that you haven't paid for, complaining about something that only you cheap assholes see, dA wouldn't need to have sponsors.
3. SG.com is not porn. It's erotica/pin-up. If either of those do fall under the category of "porn" than it's the softest core masturbatory material I've ever seen.
4. Being that it's erotica/pin-up, SG has every right to be on this site. It's art. There is NOTHING on that site that dA wouldn't allow. I know, trust me, I'm a subscriber to both. Which means that I pay to use their bandwith.
5. The female body, in and of itself, is a work of art. Nude women have been the highest form of art for millenia. That's measured in the thousands of years, by the way.
6. Even if the girls aren't artistic, their tattoos are. There's even a category on dA for tattoo design. So at the very least, the girls are the canvas for displaying some very impressive tattoos.
7. Art is in the eye of the beholder. Who are any of you (posters aside from the thread starter included) to judge what is and what is not art? And don't give me any dictionary links, they've been done, and none of them are ever consistent.

I think seven points is enough."

Now. If you have any problems with this, please let's discuss them. Because I'm right, and you're not.
