What was your motivation? What response were you met with? Please let us know in the comments below! When I first read this I thought, there are no problems in art. Thinking on my own work, have i made anythingi think a problem? In my own mind the answer is no. I think I have made work that prompted questions that various readers or viewers wouldn't like to read or see or deal with , for various reasons. I reread your prose and thought to myself. What you mean by "problematic' is about reactions. It isn't the artwork that is ever problematic or generates problems, but it is the audience that dictates the polarity of problems. I think of the statues from the roman empire , fully naked that centuries later in the very land they were made were castrated by christian clerics. I think about the original screenplay of legend from horsberg, film made by ridley scott. In the original screenplay Lilly was raped, after rewrites that was turned into the dance scene. But when read by the producers, one of the producers , a female, told scott + horsberg, and I quote "you can't rape the princess". Which is interesting to me on many levels. When Jim Brown did a film 1968's the split, with diahann carroll, written by westlake who is white, jim brown playing the main character parker, who was written white, diahann carroll 's character, playing a petty, working, pure woman was raped and kiled by a white character. I wonder if lilly was not white would hollywood have minded. But I know ridley Scott saw falsehood in it, cause years later when he made the Last Duel in 2021 based on a book by Eric JAge with a design similar to Rashomon of Kurosawa, the entire plot revolves around a raped white woman in 14th century france who upholds she was raped in public which leads to the duel through the legal system of france at the time. A great scene in the movie from an older white female character played by harriet walker proves this moreso. So ridley scott through his won work responded to the audiences problems of perception so to speak that limited what his financiers would allow from his artistic vision in the past. I just have to add, in the original screenplay a young unicorn suckles from lilly's unpregnant breast. I think of an early draft of the Last Unicorn from Peter s Beagle, and in that the unicorn originally was going to be in modern times, along the highway, unseen by humans as the smoke and filth of the mortal world goes by her, herself lost and confused, not knowing if she is the last unicorn and a daze, as she goes by potentially other magical creatures , like dragons, also the last. I think of the original title of "the girl with the dragon tattoo" which was the more appropriate "why men hate women" which the book publishers tld stiegg larsson to change or changed for him. I don't know the truth but know somehow it was changed. So between ancient male statues penisis, raped white european princesses of fable land, living unicorns in modernity frustrated and the last of their kind, or corret titles of books , it proves problems come from audiences plus financiers wanting to placate audiences fears/favors/desires. While I rabbled on I thought about my own work. Has my work ever garnered commentary suggesting my work is problematic? The first truth, which is a little sad to emit, is I am not popular enough to garner decent backlash. That may sound soft but you nead more readers to get a chance of more responses from people who have problems to your work. But I have a few instances i will share the three most clear in memory, and I can even temporally rank them. And to be blunt, my reason fro writing is always thati love to write, i have been writing since a child and i will never stop.but... Earliest, a work i made, not on deviantart, is about a literal visualization, no lesson in the story but it is meant to be be a world described and for those that like it, produce a smile. Most liked the world but wanted more plot. But one in particular, a female, a black female, i am a black male, had issue wwith what i call sensual descriptions of the "magical" brothel. Made me giggle actually. I made the work cause I was raised with a full compliment of fiction/fantasy. What do i mean by full compliment. When one is a Black Descended of enslaved person in the usa, as I am, the larger media in the usa , which has never been owned or controlled in any way by black people, places little black fantasy or fiction . Which makes sense. Disney did not make the black panther films cause blacks and whites love each other. disney made the black panther films cause non blacks in modernity, the last twenty years, are comfortable buying tickets to a movie with few non black primary characters [in Sinners no white primary characters were heroes so.. time does move] and in modernity, black people have the ability to make great returns on movie tickets as well and buy stuff. so... black panther is greenlit. So I don't have an issue with the white power in media of the past , even if it has a financial or communal source of action against blacks or non white europeans. But, the past created an environment where many black people in the usa or elsewhere rarely see themselves in media unless they have, as i did, two black parents fortunate enough to provide it growing up. So, I grew up with high john the conqueror/buck and the preacher/august wilson plays/donald goines books/black poetry /brer rabbit/oscar micheaux before he became more popular or known - while I also heard peter and the wolf at Lincoln Center, saw gaugin works, and tapestries from muslim caliphates, and devo videos. My point being I made the work wanting to add to black DOS literary canon, a common theme for me, I am not limited to that, but I like it. I grew up with my own people in fantasy worlds not just biographies or white interpretations of black people. Somewhere in the middle, a work of mine was reviewed on deviantart [I am not telling you the name, but I will do a scavenger hunt... you have to search using the word "PLAY" in my gallery [[ https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/gallery?q=play ]] and it is a literature work. Only four pages so if interested find it ] but in the review , the reviewer admitted the truth, that the premise I had broke the norm for audiences. It is an even artistic judgement/critique that your work challenges the quality of art work assessed through audience reaction or financial return. It isn't a judgement of creativity but a judgement of commerciality which has validity. I made this cause I like dialog works. I don't mind works of mostly action but I don't feel bothered by people simply communicating in a story. Anyone know the before film series from linklater knows how i feel. I also saw a fictional setting plot element between the characters that is uncommon but made and still makes sense to me. hahaha search Most Recent, I had a story for a writing contest with the theme of superheroes and one of my readers said, and i quote "superheroes don't do this" . You can imagine what you like, I will give a hype badge to whomever guesses right use those imaginations if interested. It isn't in my deviantart so... But I made it cause I thought what should be done if one is a superhero and it occurred to me, the actions i portrayed made the most sense. I think as writers sometimes we think to little on characters actions to make the reader/viewer/audience confirm their pseudoprescience . I have never felt the need to do that. I don't support auto counterpose in works cause good defeating evil isn't unreal or impossible. But great questions @pijanymajk I can see on a closeup of the image frustration in your brush work but i love the chiaroscuro ... play with me and you play with fire... where does that come from? @HelviRiitta very nice, love the colors, poor forest, who started the fire? @MissPopoki Un trabajo de grafito encantador. ¿Qué papel y qué lápiz utilizaste? ¿Es Pesadilla en Elm Street la película de «monstruos slasher» más popular en los medios de comunicación de habla hispana a nivel mundial? lovely graphite work. what paper and pencil did you use? is nightmare on elm street the most popular "monster slasher" film in spanish speaking media worldwide? @HonkyTonkk if in color what color will the rose be? nice collaborative of struggle, between humans in the worst scenarios and a rose @piruniia haha what stoogie is blown by a peace of mind? haha smells great i bet. You say mixed media, which mixed media? @Apelure wow! mother's maw, like grendel's mother @Ptero-Pterodactylus beautiful toes, your right, high heels always make the leg sexier, it is the muscularity it enforces in womens legs. did your wife model for the image? <div class="scroll-container" style="background-color: #333;overflow: auto;white-space: nowrap;padding: 10px;"> <!-- put image tags in-->

  3. China has been the blue-collar labor force for the United States of America (USA) for several decades now. Every person living in the USA has at least 5 things that were made in China.🤣 Also, there's at least 5 million Chinese people living in the USA. Yet, the US government wants the American people to believe China is a threat. If China wanted to destroy America it would be very easy to do wirhout firing a single shot. Everything from contaminated clothing & products to a little something extra in egg rolls & Chinese food would kill millions of Americans.🤣 First, it was the nuclear arms race that made Russia a boogeyman. China has become one too mainly because it owns a huge amount of US debt. White people in America make up enemies to justify the military & owning a bunch of guns. If American white folks would stop creating enemies through colonization, imperialism & racism, etc., they would have nothing to fear.😎
  4. Today
  5. Again, there's no verifiable proof those people went missing or died because of what they may have known about strange phenomena, aliens or UFO/UAP files.😎
  6. Yesterday
  7. The simply fact they are taken from Government files attested to their bona fides and fidelity as real and authentic phenomena raw material information. The Officials who operate in Official capacities and The Official Government Agencies from which they are taken. After having been kept secret for decades in files often label secret and top secret No the liars did not even want this data to be release..... Quite a few scientist and military brass has died or went missing....for this to come out. Yet you still doubt...that which some have given their life for so that you could have the truth....
  8. POTUS OJ met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week. A delegation of 30 top business leaders accompanied POTUS to the summit. Remains to be seen how much trade & investment is made between the USA & China. Taiwan is a red line & bone of contention. The USA had already agreed to give Taiwan $11 billion dollars in arms. China's Xi Jinping told POTUS OJ there will be a conflict if that red line gets crossed.😁😎
  9. White supremacy is the empire that has been ongoing for several hundred years & counting. The United States of America at 250 years old is just its epicenter, headquarters or chief of state of the white supremacy empire.😎
  10. For the past 40 years I have been living in both the "real world" and the magical one. I may be at the crossroads of existing more in one rather than the other. I let you know if anything notable happens in July and October.
  11. I would say a civilisation is defined by language and culture. While an employee is defined by geography. Here's the Merriam Webster definition of civilization : the beliefs, customs, arts, etc. characteristic of a particular time or place : Empire major political unit having a territory of great extent or a number of territories or peoples under a single sovereign authority especially : one having an emperor as chief of state (2) : the territory of such a political unit
  12. https://thehill.com/homenews/5868640-clyburn-trump-sc-redistricting/ Rep. Jim Clyburn is fighting to save the lone South Carolina Democratic Congressional seat from a redistricting effort. At 85 years old, Rep. Clyburn is running for re-election. It would be his 18th term in Congress. Having earned several million dollars already & the pension he'll receive, there's no reason for America's favorite sharecropper, er, Rep. Clyburn to continue working in Congress.😁 I'm fairly certain Rep. Clyburn isn't taking care of hoes in different area codes either..🤣 The senior citizen squad that is Rep. Clyburn, Rep. Nancy Pelosi & Rep. Maxine Waters & every other member over 75 years old needs to retire & give younger folks a chance to sit in those seats. Term limits are totally necessary. There's no reason for these people to be taking naps during sessions &/or having the chamber smell like linimint or Aspercreme.🤣 We need a campaign telling Rep. Clyburn & others that its time to go home & enjoy retirement.😁😎
  13. Last week
  14. We keep getting more recent stuff.....but as usual they are discredited. Credo Mutwa an African Sangoma taught that Beings from the Stars coming here is apart of his tradition for years The Dogons of Mali Taught that we came from the Star.... Primitive Tribes in the am*zon when shown drawings of greys recognized them....like how we talk of faerie/fairy folk. I kinda thought as much....but was hoping just maybe you are more open to the idea of extraterrestrial intelligent life The strange conundrum is that the more we know....is the more we realize how much we do not know Yes DMT is a door way to other realities and the further reaches of our own
  15. @frankster "Alien" Like Mexicans, the original inhabitants, but not recognized as such 😉 At the end of the day there is so much we don't know, and are unable to comprehend, about the universe. I find it all fascinating. On my bucket list is getting some DMT... seriously.
  16. I know some people dismiss the "Ancient Aliens" TV series which explores and offers examples of aliens having visited Earth centuries ago and left artifacts behind and inspired hieroglyphs and wall carvings of figures who look like uniformed astronauts in space ships to prove this. But the archeologists who promote these theories and who end each episode with a "we are not alone" teaser have as much credibility as closed-mouthed Presidents. DUH. 🙄 Even the Bible offers evidence of these phenomena, according to these scientists and they refer to the verse about Ezekiel seeing a wheel "way up in the middle of the sky" as a UFO sighting. I believe Aliens may be among us and I have always kinda felt like EARTH, hence America, is not my home. Even as I key this, I feel like someone is looking over my shoulder...👽 Anyway, If ETs do exist it's time for them to make themselves known before Trump destroys Earth... Just our luck, Trump is an alien from a place where bigotry and pedophilia are not frowned upon, sent here to rid the universe of this prudish humane planet. I still wonder why certain areas in Anarctica are a restricted no-fly zone. zzzzzzzzz
  17. @Troy in my humble layman opinion, its native tongue is the only thing that distinguishes the USA from the European, British Isles. Scandanavian, Baltic, and other North American countries that make up Western Civilization. In all these countries Judeo-Christianity is the dominant religion and the customs and culture that make up their societies are generally the same and interchangeable. Language is the only barrier. However, I concede that it's very possible I am wrong in thinking that America is not a separate civilzation. I don't know enough sbout the subject to debate it.
  18. Hilarious. White women have been running that playbook since the 1990s.😁 That's why there are so many mixed breed athletes running around nowadays.🤣 Exhibit A....Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry.😁😎
  19. I would not believe that 70 year old BS. Too much time has passed. We should be able get something more recent & irrefutable.😎
  20. There is no audio. The lip readers picked up on it supposedly. Nonetheless, there's no shortage of audio & video where POTUS OJ insults & berates journalists of all stripes. Mainly those who work for agencies he deems as fake news. Give POTUS OJ more time over next couple years & a hot mic will pick up the evidence.😁 Interestingly, POTUS OJ hasn't been playing to his base lamely. All his present decisions run counter to his promises to them. Right. We shouldn't be surprised if POTUS OJ tells n8ggas to get their Black azz to the polls & vote GOP claiming there's nothing to lose because Democrats aren't doing sh8t for them either.🤣😎
  21. Did anyone actually hear what Trump said? The website you shared @ProfD won't let you listen to the clip unless you subscribe. I don't know if they are a reputable news source given their use of this tactic... Report the "news" or don't, but don't bait me with scandalous content and fail to deliver. At any rate. they use terms like "appears" and "apparently" when it comes to his use of the word. So I can only assume it was not blatant - still he has to play to his base.. approval rating are down. I guess he'll be hurling the N-bomb soon--that will really rally his supporters. He'll probably hold that card until right before the midterms 😉
  22. Perhaps. My position not new; in the 1950 C.L.R. James wrote a book entitled American Civilization. It is based upon the premise that America is indeed a civilization and he describes why. Since neither one of will read the entire book; we can only speculate how successful he was in the effort.
  23. They left out the most important tactic......do not throw away used Condom. As well as.......Lock black women out of his immediate circle - where ever and whenever possible
  24. That too have already happen....Roswell Like I said you are waiting on Officialdom.....to give its stamp of approval
  25. 🫩 Tired of hearing about the war in Iran? Disgusted by the Supreme Court's dismantling of the Voting Rights act? Mad because your team got eliminated from the NBA Playoffs?Unimpressed by the ridiculously extravagant garb of the celebrities at the annual Met Gala? Worried about the possibility of a new virus epidemic? Fed up with high gas and grocery prices? Broke because you blew $500 on 2 tickets to the upcoming Usher-Chris Brown concert tour coming to a theater near you? Saddened by the evening news reporting the shooting death of yet another inner city black teen? How about something to take your mind off of these bummers? Read on... Rule No. 1 is the foundation to lure an athlete with a pick-me mindset: “He’s the prize. Remember he can change your life; you can’t change his.” Rule No. 2: “Dealing with cheating, DON’T LOOK FOR IT… if it’s just a fling, LET IT GO!” He’s the prize, remember he can change your life, you can’t change his …” Rule No. 3: “Completely integrate yourself in his life to where he can’t function without you.” Rule No. 4: “Don’t embarrass him. Don’t cheat, don’t text other men.” Rule No. 5: “Go completely WILD ON HIM IN BED!” Rule No. 6: “DO NOT tell his mom ANY personal information.” Rule No. 7: “Always look good and appealing." **************** OK, back to things worth caring about. 🥴
  26. Pareto principle - 80/20% Or 20% of the people do the work. While 80% folly. "vital few", "trivial many" And the vital few group is usually very diverse.
  27. In a similar vein to "Watermelon Man", I need to add, "The Blackening," which I initially overlooked, but I was drawn in once I saw it on Netflix's "before it leaves soon" page. It's genuinely hilarious and the best satire horror comedy I've seen in a while! It's about a group of college friends meeting up at a cabin in the woods after a hiatus - you know, the "life 'be lifing'" type of excuse for absence. So, like any cabin in the woods horror flick scenario, the first to die is a black person - but who's the first when everybody is Black? Well, surely it has to be the Blackest one, right? I hollered when they pointed to the actual African in the group. Anyway, that's the premise of this satirical flick, and it is really funny. Tongue-in-Cheek funny! So, although The Blackening was released in 2023, it should be a contender for this list because it absolutely has staying power.
  28. Correction. I'm waiting to see &/or hear about a crash landing & aliens being dragged outta their spacecraft dead or alive.🤣😎
