teddy_radiatorOn deviantArt. I have just seen the most offensive case of abusive, threatening and bullying behaviour directed toward one of my dear friends, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sempraseverus. I know that dA is one of the most hypocritcal, screwed-up sites on the internet, but it honestly frightened me today. These two people were literally circling her like a shark, calling her names, threatening to get her banned, openly plotting against her on one of her own comment threads...I tell you, it was like something you'd see in a flim. Completely disturbing.
I asked to be re-instated on dA just to be able to comment to my friends how much I love their art and to just try to encourage them as much as they encourage me, but this literally made my blood run cold. There are some seriously nasty pieces of work out there, and I find it disturbing that they are so gleeful about how they bully and taunt someone. I'm glad I no longer have anything posted there, and I won't post there again.
My artistic friends, be so careful. There are too many people out there who, rather than try to build you up and encourage and inspire, live to tear you down and hurl abuse, and that's what this person was doing - hurling abuse at Sempra, for no other reason, it seemed, than just because she could.
