All right, ya fuckin bluenosed scumbag. I know you’re a dickless asshole who couldn’t manage to create a good, bad or indifferent piece of artwork if your life depended on it. I know that in your drab world the greatest joy you may have is doing harm to more talented individuals.
But still, just because YOU are useless sack of shit does not mean you get to waft your ugliness about without repercussions.
I worked for DAYS on my that piece. Man, it was NICE. It wasn’t just crude stuff like you see in a lot of other digital art – I made sure that when I was through, it looked like a high-end piece of airbrush art. The background art and the way it matched the foreground was TASTY, no other way to put it – all yellows, oranges, purples browns and golds. The way bits of metal gleamed in the darkness, and the way the orange sky in the background faded to black against the shadows in the foreground, mergeing with the fleshtones of the subjects … BADASS.
And you had to fink on me because, what? There were a couple of nipples showing? Fuck you. Really. Fuck you and go to hell. I hope you die a long, painful, bitter death, attended only by tiny vermin gnawing at your living flesh.
And I pit thee, Ebay, for being the gutless corporate scumbags you are, fuck you for letting the bluenose have his way. I know, you’re just in it for the money, gotta protect the bluenoses from all that ART out there, or yadda yadda yadda fuckity fuck fuck fuck. I don’t give a shit. I know when a thing is wrong, and what you did was WRONG and there’s no amount of legal or corporate blather that’ll change that.
And it’s not like there aren’t a lot of other auctions on your site with tits and more showing. Sure, my piece of art had a couple of nipples, but it was pretty close to what you’d expect to see on the cover of a romance novel in most respects. It’s not like the nude catfighting photos that someone else is auctioning. Or the bondage oil painting that consists entirely of a closeup of a woman’s large, wet breasts. Or the many, many naked pics of celebrities like Britney Spears and Christine Aguilera, most of which appear to have been scanned from laddie mags, and some of which are clearly fakes.
Yeah, that’s right, I looked to see if there was anything like my stuff out there before I posted my auction and there was, tons of it, much of it more explicit than my stuff. I thought I would fit right in. So I know your TOS is bullshit. You just post that crap so you have an excuse to end an auction if anybody complains about it.
I’m betting that I was finked on, not by a genuine bluenose, but by a competing seller who didn’t like the fact that my stuff was original and unique unlike all the cheap ripoff artists who are selling the same sets of stuff scanned from magaziens and so forth. Ebay is full of scum like that, just go to their community boards and check out all the reports of people stealing each other’s stuff and the like. Reporting a competitor’s auctions as TOS violations just to make things a little easier for oneself is right in line with the nasty, weaselish behavior that’s typical of so many Ebay members.
I’ve sold a fair amount of stuff on ebay and expect to sell a lot more. Because I’ve been creating artwork for 20 years, much of it well within TOS. And today all I’m gonna do to vent is post this post here on the Straight Dope – and look hard for another auction site for that really TASTY piece of art I created. Yahoo has one, I believe, I just might check 'em out. No reason I can’t make money off more than one auction site.
But I do mean it when I say fuck you Ebay, and Ebay fink. Fuck you very much.
