Bigots, sexists, and hate, oh my!

So... I can't really use this site with a clear conscience anymore. The sheer amount of homophobia and misogyny I've found being fostered here over the years is something that I really don't want to be part of. In fact, I don't even want to touch it with a 10 foot pole.

And the sad part is, it's such a fixture in this community, so deeply ingrained in the userbase and the staff and the way the site is run that there's not really anything that can be done about it. Which leaves me with a single option, really-- I can leave.

I'm not quitting DA cold turkey, though. I've got obligations that I can't just up and walk away from, so I'll pop back in periodically to deal with those. I have people and groups that I watch that I'd still like to keep an eye on every now and then.

But I will stop posting art, I will stop faving and commenting for the most part, I'll be removing all links I've got pointing to this profile, and I will definitely be letting my sub run out because I refuse to give these assholes any more money.

If you still want to keep track of me and see what I'm up to (crappy TF doodles included), I've migrated a lot of my gallery to artician, and I'll start putting more art on my tumblr. I'm also still taking commissions, so if you want one, contact me by email or on tumblr or whatever, and we'll go through the usual process for that.

And hey, artician's got a group feature in the works, so if any of you want to come with me and start some Transformers community over there, I'd be totally up for it, cause....

Fuck this shit.
