What are your pet peeves of DeviantArt or Real Life?


DesmondeKapi's avatar
DeviantArt: Rude people, art thieves, trolls (I usually don't mind these but the really annoying ones), hard-to-read journal skins/ones with poor color choice.

Real Life or somewhere else, well some are more than a pet peeve: Duck faces, bigots, me procrastinating.etc

Idk I can't think of much now.

Being touched, especially by someone I don't like or if they happen to have poor personal hygiene

Tacky re-creations of game characters I happen to like
When someone brings out a terrible song that goes viral and everyone seems to love for no apparent reason, when they deserve no recognition in terms of talent
People who hate singers who are genuinely good at what they do, just because they don't want to be considered mainstream or look like they are following the crowd
The fact many people believe that by trying to be original and unique is infact no more unique than copying someone else as its gotten to a point where everyone and their cousin are trying to be different

Demanding respect through the use of intimidation and fear
Expecting to be respected when none deserving and not paying any outwardly
Third party companies that things you sign up to whom sometimes pass on your details to
PPI emails, I mean I've never even had a loan from a bank!
Frauds, whether it be identity theft or malicious content that can spy on your activities which once resulted in money being stole from my account via emergency payment due to having collected enough information on me through a dodgy hoax email link to pose as me and successfully withdraw the money without raising any red flags, I still to this day don't understand how exactly they got all the specific details as I never once used all the details they would have needed to prove themselves to be me
Having my patience tested


I think I'll stop myself there, but let me just finish by apologising for the majorly excessive list! :/ and there will be a treat of the readers choice to anyone who actually reads all of my list. I don't recommend or expect anyone to though. I almost fall asleep at the site of massive posts and fully understand should anyone just completely skip it. xD

And from here on out, I shall name thee: kerokko rant-a-lot!

But I agree with your list, mostly.
kerokko's avatar
LOLOL I was actually looking for a forum like this to post on.
kerokko's avatar
Oh yeah, and I also hate bases. So much. They're so unoriginal. I dislike people who use them too. They're usually noobs with art, and I already mentioned how the pissed me off.

DeviantART:

- When people have 3,000-mile long profiles filled with 20 50-megabyte Tumblr .GIFS; 5,000 plz accounts; 9600 Quizilla test results; and 50 million journal dolls. DeviantART has quickly become the Myspace of the Internet world.
- People who write in subscript. 100% of the time these people are pretentious, holier-than-thou, and just plain annoying 15-year old sparkledog furry fucks who think they're being badass and unique.
- The entire Literature section. :puke:
- How when you search for semi-realism or realism, all you get is fucking anime shit.
- Anime shit.
- BASES, especially if they're traced.
- The adoptables section.
- People who call adoptables, "adopts". "Adopt" is not a fucking noun.
- Camwhores.
- "Thanks for the fave/llama/watch!"
- People who discourage critique.
- Fandom.

In real life:
- When people begin to pack up before the professor is done talking. SO RUDE.
- People who walk slow and block the goddamn walkway.
- People who touch me and especially hit me.
- Drunks.
- Creepy guys who try and hit on me.
- People who can't speak English yet they have a job that requires it to be used extensively.
- People who try to barter at the cash register.
- My neighbors. I want to murder them. Horribly.
DesmondeKapi's avatar
All of that so true.

Haha sometimes I pack up when the teacher is talking XD

Once I just zipped close my pencil case after I put something back and the teacher was all like..

"Why do I hear zippers? Don't pack up yet."

I'll add your RL list ##1-3 to my list below! :nod:
KarmaPunch's avatar
DA:
:bulletred: Being called a troll like that succubus *Juliabohemian did the other day. She also said my gallery looks like something from a crime scene. I was very offended.
:bulletpurple: People jumping to conclusions, in general. This is also IRL.
:bulletred: Art theft.
:bulletred: People who use stock and don't credit.

Real life:
:bulletblue: Bullies.
:bulletblue: Movies. Pointless and overrated.
:bulletblue: Racists.
:bulletblue: Homophobes.
And about a billion other things.

Women acting stupid around men
deVere's avatar
RL: Unprovoked verbal aggressiveness, intentional insults (direct and indirect), immaturity, pretentiousness, mentally unstable whiners, backstabbers, liars, gold-diggers, half-smart pseudo-intellectuals, vulgarity, elitist attitudes with no substance, explicitly egocentric attention whores, intolerance disguised as strong opinions, pointless outbursts of uncontrolled hysteria in public, creeps, losers and brainless compulsive behavior in general.

dA: Same as above + embarrassingly pathetic journal entries, mediocre writing skills and bad art.

Actually I don't mind if you're an asshole - I just don't want to see it.
Uranus-seventhsun's avatar
I don't understand the duck face thing. Is it for stupid people or something?

Boobs, butts and rubbish manga including ponies.

People blocking the way who won't move aside when you're trying to get past; worse if they hawk and spit.

You go to the loo, and the one time you don't check if there's toilet paper there, is the time when there's no toilet paper.
Civyx's avatar
Folks who expect me to do them art for free...when the materials alone cost a good bit of money.
IncandescentInsanity's avatar
People who think that creative drawings and ideas can only come from someone who is under the influence of drugs

HOW HIGH WERE YOU WHEN YOU CAME UP WITH THAT HURRRRRR

Fucking scum
xRooke's avatar
Right? When people say that only drugs could lead someone to draw something like that I'm just like yeah because you've got no creativity to think of it yourself that's why you assume these things...
Mechanicold's avatar
Real life:
-native English speakers who cannot and will not speak properly
-dropping things
-people smoking or crowding around doorways
-dirty and messy people. I don't mind if you're dirty/messy in your own bedroom, but once you bring it to the kitchen and bathroom there's going to be a problem.
-art block
-how frustratingly difficult it is to find ballpoint pens with yellow ink
-when people downplay my social problems, and the fact that I can't afford to get help
-not being able to find another job, yet I'm not making enough money in my current one
-being tired and stressed out all the time
-everyone thinking I'm available to talk, or that they can just waltz on into my room whenever they feel like it just because I keep the door open. I keep it open because it's convenient for me, not because I want to talk!


DA:
-"Do you take requests?"
"No, but I am taking commissions. My info is here (link)."
*person disappears off the face of the earth
-noob bashing, unless the noob is rude
-posting the same subject in multiple forums
-posting in the wrong forum and getting defensive when called out on it
-cheap bastards in the Job Offers forum
-seeing the same artists on the popular page or DD section
LovelyTitania's avatar
•Being in a room with any open door.
•Unsealed flasks (like, when the cap thing in only on top of the flask).

That's pretty much it, when I'm on my period the list expands to... everything.

dA: people who insist on bracketing their entire posts in < sub>
IRL: don't really have a pet peeve. I'm acutely angry enough as it is without adding chronic ire for something that I suspect I cannot actually stop. Ultimate mitigation is to just let it slide. Does wonders for your cortisol levels.
nosugarjustanger's avatar
Damn it, I hate those people who < sub> their posts too. I bet they think they look cute for doing that... it just makes me wanna poke their eyes out.
PlasticusForkus's avatar
It's pure narcissism; they're trying to look different.

I don't bother reading them. It's difficult to read it, so they obviously have not written anything that they believe is worthwhile reading.
nosugarjustanger's avatar
Hah, you have a point. :giggle: Though I am sure they might not have thought about it that way.

When it's already difficult to be read, I'm already annoyed, so I tend to be judgmental on that person. :D
willtommo's avatar
dA: Moronic pony maker oc pictures, insane people from a fandom, and idiots who start arguments.

Real life: Royal family, receiving loads of texts at once, thinking about my future, and white supremacy groups I guess...

Not all of my "pet peeves", Ive had a good day today so I cant think of too many things to complain about :)
