I will totally agree, we both patronized each other lol

Now about the fetish thing and you not knowing, just hear me out lol, if I posted pictures of me and Disneyland and thought you'd know I was a fetish model would be silly. You don't live with me. You don't even know me aside from DA. But while in a gas mask, in an adult nurse costume and with me putting photos in the fetish area of DA, I would kinda hope one would see me as a fetish model.

I do appreciate that you as a male can see me as a female can see and allow me in a sense to express myself with my body and not leave a creepy message. I do thank you for that. But when I put a photo under fetish, I'm wanting to be seen as a fetish model lol

Truth is coloured by perspective and I apologise that my own perceptual filters made me oblivious to the obvious. Seeing as you fully understand that I am a different type of guy and my outlook on things is radically different from what most people have (not saying this is good or bad, it just simply "is" hehehe), I now feel quite confident that I can explain to you why I did not see what I did not see and that you will understand completely

Typically, I do not pay any attention to "deviantART Categories" WHAT SO EVER except for when I upload my own, the system REQUIRES me to select a category. I am not a huge fan of labels and though I feel categories are important for the purposes of keeping dA's databse organized so that it doesn't become one huge clusterfuck pile of art: beyond that I feel no obligation WHAT SO EVER to "pay attention" to what category a person has put their art under.

Now for people who feel it is important to pay close attention to that, more power to them. It however is not and quite frankly DOES NOT HAVE TO BE my particular cup of tea to give a shit to bother with that.

So knowing I ONLY paid attention to the PHOTOS and NOT to what you categorised them under -- the obvious question is going to be in your mind: "then dave, what in the blue hell did you THINK they were and WHY did you think so?"

What I thought they were, is you having the right to artistically express your feelings as a female and as an individual human -- using your own style and creativity as you see fit and for your imagination to deem what is or is not desired on your part to express such things.

Gas masks, adult nurse costumes and whatever other expressions do not "HAVE" to be "fetish" and there are even MORE instances to where these things are NOT fetishes than instances to where they ARE.

To me, the gas masks and chain saw stuff is just horror humor. To me, nothing more and nothing less. Doesn't even click in my brain AT ALL with anything fetish related.

The nurse photos I saw as just a blend of femininity and sarcasm. Seeing as this is not a real life episode of the brady bunch, women DO have a "mean streak side" to their "girly nature" and even their "girly nature" can be expressed in ways which society has branded as MASCULINE but quite frankly, I don't acknowledge that society somehow has the right to tell the rest of us that females can only be interested in "whatever-ABC" and males can only be interested in "whatever-XYZ".

Take for example, the stereotype that guys can't be into make-up. Well, why not? Being a drag queen is not the only male application. Hows about a professional make-up ARTIST who can do really bad-ass Halloween costumes and shit for movie sets and so on?

As for the rest of your body shots -- WHY does that have to be fetish related? What, because its cute in that seductive evil-ish sort of way? Because body parts sometimes are focused on, such as your feet for example? Because it fluctuates between "sweet and innocent" and "bad girl" sorts of imagery?

Does it REALLY have to be seen as fetish JUST because society claims it must? Does it REALLY? lol

Can't a guy just see it as a beautiful girl such as you are, expressing herself with her body using her creativity? Is it REALLY such a leap of logic that a guy can be able to see things in this way and that a guy who sees things in this way, ON AN ART SITE, does NOT make the "fetish connection"? LOL.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't think fetishism is in any way "bad" because it is, in and of itself an artistic emotional expression. HOWEVER: what makes me want to stab some guys in the face with a fork, is when they use the idea of fetishism to instead of giving them a higher appreciation for the female and her body; they instead dehumanise her and treat her as if she is nothing more than a blow up doll with a pulse.

Guys have no fucking clue the sort of emotional and psychological RAPE that sexual harassment is.

I do not envy you but I applaud you for your courage. I do not think I posses the balls to be able to deal with such things and so I am very thankful for having been born with a penis and that I am quite male

As for you wanting to be seen as a fetish model, I meant no disrespect by NOT seeing you as such. In fact I applaud you for being brave enough to think its cute to be a fetish model and to express that as an aspect of your personality. Fetish models as you are well aware, set themselves up for way more creepers than most girls do, as you also outlined.

So I applaud you for having the courage to do what you want to do, despite any resistance you might receive from creepy fuckers.

In recognition for what you desire to be recognized for and seen as: I think your feet are absolutely gorgeous, just as the rest of you equally is. I think your expressions are very cute. You are a very attractive, expressive and artistic young lady and I acknowledge the power you are able to wield over males as both a strong and beautiful women in equal measure, I acknowledge your intellect and artistic aptitude and I also acknowledge the validity and adorable cuteness of your emotional states through your physical expressions and I appreciate you as both a female and a human being, different and unique but not unequal to any other women nor to any male.

I acknowledge that you are very curious about my Chickzillas folder and wanting to know more about how to view it from a non-fetish perspective and that I blindly mistook your curiosity for judgement against my expressions when you were merely attempting to gain a better understanding to satisfy your curiosity and you were not in any way, shape or form judging me at all. I acknowledge that this was entirely my fault and I appologize.

I acknowledge that you were also wanting to get to know me as a person and curious about my personality type seeing as it is new to you, but my unintentional defensiveness made you afraid to explore any further and you were unable to figure out a way for me to understand what you were saying in the context it was actually meant as, because I was unknowingly, unintentionally and subconsciously holding my own past circumstances with women against you; which was an error of epic proportions on my part.

I would like to humbly appologize for my naivety within these matters and thank you for caring enough to teach me the lessons I needed to learn, by giving me the good swift kick in my ass that I needed. You're a good friend, even though we don't know each other hardly yet. You have proven that you are a kind, caring and open minded person -- and I thank you for your compassion, respect and support.

I dislike labels too. Like if DA went "Fetish" then what kind, would be completely silly. Cause there is a gas mask fetish, but there is a military fetish, a mask fetish, an apoctlypic fetish, etc. I do it solely for the fact I love gas masks, but I do not do it for the typical fetish. But it does clue many people in lol Or at least to the fact, I do know the world of fetish. But my nurse photos, some people may not see that as a fetish, even though that's what I go for lol But I do it for the people who creep and wish to commish me to wear leather and a gas mask and wish to buy me a horror film for it lol. It takes the awkwardness away, well, at least for me it does lol

Sort of like when you do giant women pictures. My friends see those kind of pictures of empowering and we can rule the world! I see it purely as the fetish. The fetish of where men completely bow down to a woman, pretend she is a giant, because she is a "ruler" The fetish is pretty much the same thing as what a lot of the people who make those pictures. And in the same way, they can be sexual.

Now, I am not saying you make those pictures to exploit those girls. But a guy could stumble upon those and jerk off to them. On my photography account, I had photos of my fiance's cat and I had men jack off to her. It was not my intent to put those pictures up for anything sexual, even though I am fully aware that there is an animal fetish. But no one, not you, not me, not anyone, can stop what people do.

I would like to apologize as well. You are very caring and respectful and VERY supportive. And thank you for letting me speak my mind

In either a real time text chat, Skype or some other mode that does not require me to write book chapters at a time to you lol ... I would like to explain some of the more philosophical points of my art to you for a few important reasons:

01) I want to and I enjoy sharing with anyone who gives a fuck to listen. Its nice.
02) I would like you to better understand my perspectives because a) you're curious to know, b) its nice when someone can listen open open-mindedly and c) because ones you have a more full understanding, your insightful perspectives on things i feel would be both beneficial and enjoyable for me to have an understanding of. I do not underestimate your capacity for wisdom and intellect and to be able to view things from a lot of different perspectives at once can add clarity and minimize confusion (in general, life etc).
03) Because you're a total sweetie and I happen to think you're a pretty fucking cool person.

We both have unique perspectives and I think we can learn much from each other, equally and mutually. I think it would be fun to explore that and its nice to talk to someone who can go deep into a topic without the urge to change it every 10 seconds and who doesn't become irate with you when you don't lol. Its nice to speak with someone who has a deeper conceptual thresh hold that isn't limited to "well gee, the weather sure is nice, isn't it?" lol

You have taught me more than a few things about myself and I thank you for having the compassion to care enough to want to breach through my stubbornness and get me to understand. Its the mark of what a TRUE friend actually is.

paradigm-shifting In reply to Ennathrae [2011-10-26 21:55:08 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it is. But whether this is good or bad is up to us as individuals.

Fire is hot and burns. We can say this is highly disturbing and fear it as we look at its awesome and virtually uncontrollable destructive power -- such as forest fires and many other examples. And if we saw it as this, then we would not have technology at all. Because we have electricity and heat in our homes and cars and many other things as a result of the formation and understanding of thermodynamics. If we said "oh no this fire is so horrible I must run away from it!" then we would not have an internet to be able to discuss this on.

In the same way -- proper understanding of what is fucked up with the educational system is how each of us can be happy and successful. See the things explained as like a puddle of crude oil. If you think you MUST roll around in it and you think there is no other options, then you will get this nasty oil all over you. But if you understand that knowing the puddle of oil is there gives you the opportunity to WALK AROUND IT -- then walk around it you can and walk around it you shall.

So if you feel that this fucked up system is something you can not transcend and move around and out of the way of, then yes -- it will control and dominate you for all of your life. With dead-end jobs, misery and suffering in a dysfunctional society. This is correct. They want you to think you can not move beyond and outside of their system. They want you to think their system is the one and only choice and that without them, you can not survive. It is a lie most people have bought into.

But if you know there is a way to move around this and not fall for the lie, then your first question will be "how do i do this????". Well, I am happy to explain and also happy to provide proof that it is possible. Not just with my own accomplishments but the accomplishments of many others who have done far greater things than I have just yet.

So, the choice is yours. If you decide you must remain trapped in society, you will be. This is absolutely true. If you feel you do not have to remain trapped, then you will be open to the knowledge and however long it takes you to untrap yourself is not important. What is important, is that you will succeed in doing so.

Its all a choice. Pick which ever one you wish to pick. Both are valid choices because all "valid" means is "this is something which exists". And sadly, the corruptions and lies of these systems do exist. No doubt about that. But the ways around them and out of the lies exist equally.

Even as a teenager, you have control of your life. The joke is that you are made to think you don't. Because to take control is not so much about leaving home and making your own rules and escaping out from under anything you feel has you trapped. The interesting trick is -- making it so these circumstances can not effect you. That you can comply with all of these rules and STILL do as you wish and succeed to any level you wish. To understand how to make these things irrelevant and unable to effect you. To understand the power of illusion. So that it can no longer have power over you.

I am willing to assist you, but I refuse to force this assistance. The choice is yours and your choice will be respected by me. No pressure

I do not know everything. But what I do know, I am happy to share. Use this knowledge as you wish to. I have no right to tell you what to do with it. I am only willing to share it. Do with it as you feel is best for you to do. This is how it needs to be

At least you don't have to work for free in schools as slave labour.

The reason why I would suggest that schools are not quite the same as prison, is that it is your parents who put you into a school and it's your own actions that can get you put into prison.

In school, if by checking to see if you understand, you mean it in the context of subjecting you to constant peer pressure, indoctrination and control freaky mind fuck shit -- then I fully agree. Where as in prison, instead of getting your mind fucked, you get your asshole raped by your cell mate bubba with the 12" penis as you're picking up the soap. So, two different forms of rape happening between school and prison. But, they're both rape and have more similarities than differences.

The name of the documentary is called "College Conspiracy" and you can find it by doing a YouTube Search for the title. I personally don't like the title because the word "conspiracy" has too much stigma behind it. Really, it is just a very well put together collection of data in regards to the educational system and its history. I should try uploading a copy of it to a video site that does not censor based on political opinion. YouTube claims they don't, but they totally do. Thats easy enough to prove. lol
