What is with people posting on emoticon DDs and claiming they shouldn't be DDs?

First: If someone can stay in bed for a week and that's art than an emoticon can damn well be art too.

Second: Everyone is well aware that some people aren't happy with the state of DDs, equally everyone is aware of dA's policy on them. Posting on a deviation and claiming it shouldn't be a DD won't change it, isn't relevant to the deviation and is just downright rude. If you're commenting on a deviation then you should be praising or suggesting improvements (or replying to someone else I guess but that's commenting on a comment), not just saying it shouldn't have something that the deviant didn't give it.

Third: Art is different things to different people. Get over it and go look at the stuff you like looking at.

Of course complaining about it here won't change anything, partly cos most of the people who watch me must either like or make emoticons and probably aren't guilty of this and partly cos those who are wouldn't stop cos of this anyways.

But anyways.

My mouse died last night, couldn't scroll up or down. So I took the oppurtunity to finally move away from old rollerball mice (and stop having to clean them!) and got me a nice laser mouse. It'll take a while to get used to but I already like it better than the old one.
