Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

Children who can’t afford Photoshop.

@Don’t
I don’t get that format either

I hate those. There also that character at x place.

@Don’t
I don’t know how they got so popular but I’ve seen those about on DA & I just can’t bloody stand them nor see the point in them. I don’t use this word much but those kinds of pics are very cringe enducing.

@Galestorm
This might sound harsh, but I think the people who use that kind of format may have some mental disability like autism or something. I don’t mean it in an insulting kind of way, but I theorize that those who use that may be autistic or some other form of a disability since they don’t see anything odd about using that kind of format, plus the obsession with cartoons.

@Mr.Myoozik
I agree. They are just having some fun and they aren’t hurting anyone by imagining certain characters in a place.

@Mr.Myoozik
Not insulting or harsh at all, only truth. A lot of them (the ones who upload that stuff) are autistic & maybe other mental disorders too but that’s just a pattern I’ve noticed. Not saying their autism has anything to do with it nor that they’re bad people, a lot of them (the people) seem pretty decent, it’s just the posts & how I feel about them, that’s all.
Plus, I myself have autism so I’d probably be a hypocrite if that was my reasoning. I hold nothing against anyone who do those uploads, t’s just something I see on the site at times when browsing.

school is not about getting high grades and receiving diploma it’s about teaching you how to blend in with the society by yourself as you grow up.

@Khamzat Chimaev
It’s rather sad how true that is.

@Mr.Myoozik
Instead of guessing, find out if they all have one or not.

I see only slightly more value in AI art than I do in NFTs. Which is to say, not much value at all.

Failed every school I ever went to. Didn’t become apparent because when you move between schools on army bases, they test you, and will let you advance a grade, even if your teacher marked you all zeros out of spite.

Got my GED with honors, and was gifted a high-school diploma in the name of the school that ran the test.

Why? Socioeconomic. It’s hard to participate in school, when you’re constantly beat up at home and school. That’s right, when you get abused at home, you stop trying to defend yourself. The kids pick up on this, and they beat you up too. Then your dad assaults you because you let a kid assault you. This planet sucks. None of my siblings had proper clothes, but dad collects gold, and guns, and gambles away 1-2k a month. Stock piled food we would get beat for eating, just in case CPS came.

Hard to keep up with college when your bike breaks, and you have to draw porn to make less than minimum wage to eat rice and corn. I blew off so many classes to get work so I can eat, they only let you take them a certain number of times, even if you pay money for it. School is very expensive, even when your tuition is paid by the government.

I am glad I got to see college a little bit. A lot of the most vital stuff they teach you right at the front door. I know how to research, my English… i don’t know English for shit, but i know how to do really complicated polynomial math.

It’s a social conditioning bit, it’s all about falling in line and feeding the war machine. The economy is based on unsustainable growth, so shackling children with debt is a necessity. The success rate of local colleges is like 10-20% That’s paying a lot of money for at least an 80% chance to go nowhere.

@The Crystal Artist
It isn’t harming anybody but it does sour Deviantart’s reputation

@Galestorm
I’m just playing armchair psychologist, I’m theorizing as to why something like that exist.

@phoenixacezero
I would rather not, thank you very much

What happened here LMAO

@PixelatedPony
Some dude spouting violent or suicidal shit. No idea who it was.

@Background Pony #B3C5
I’m only two or more people for the fucking retarded, everyone else knows what’s going on. It’s not your social responsibility, so just walk away.

@PixelatedPony
@SleepySteve
It’s a deleted post. Rule 6 means it was off topic, so assume spam of some kind and move on.

@Background Pony #B3C5
We have a vent thread, ya know.

Hardly much better help, but at least they can’t tell you you’re in the wrong place.

I already knew what that post said before it got deleted, it was intense.

@Mr.Myoozik
Mind seding me a PM of it?

@icicle wicicle 1517
I did

@Mr.Myoozik
Thanks

I have never for the life of me understood why people care so much whether guys are bald and/or wear wigs. Like, guys will be mocked and shamed for losing their hair, but then they will still be ridiculed if they are wearing a hairpiece or trying to cover it. It seems like a double standard, like there’s no way to win.
