Nine years folks...that's nine years I've been on DA and its had some ups and downs. I've explored new art mediums, I've met some wonderful people, and made a few friends. This might come as a shock to most of you and I'm sorry but its time to move on. I've had my issues with DA as a whole but this was sort of the final straw. Some comments and notes have made me wonder lately. Some are wondering if I like this sort of thing or if I'm just seeking out attention...

Lets see...well..for starters I never once asked for any sort of points or money to post new things. The only time I asked for money was for a charity walk that I didn't even benefit from nor did I ever see a penny. I never even asked for llamas either...whatever the heck those things were for. I never asked anything nor did I bribe people to donate in order to get anything from me. I never posted myself on forums and talks trying to draw more people to my page. I even turned down several groups that wished to add my pictures to their gallery. Would someone who's only out for attention willingly turn down exposure? You tell me.

I took the time to answer just about every comment and note genuinely even if all I could say was thank you. I didn't want anyone to think that they couldn't approach me, I wanted them to feel comfortable in talking with me. I was actively participating on my page and letting others know that I really did appreciate their time and words. Unlike quite a few people who never say thank you or even talk to the people who's art they liked in the first place. Would someone only out for views take the time to do all that? You tell me. 

Not once did I tell people to go check me out on facebook, twitter, ect so that I could get more views on something. I was never out to gain anything from this and I did care what people thought of it. I never went to other artists pages and write, "hey I like your art can you come check out my gallery?" I never posted journals for point give away's so that I could get more traffic to my page. I never ever charged for any requests when I did them because they were pictures I WANTED to do.  

I never once told someone that what they liked was disgusting. I never once said that their interests were weird, shameful, or wrong. I may not of agreed to some of their interests but I was respectful about it so long as they showed me the same respect. All that I ever asked was to be respected as a person, to not have to talk about topics that I didn't feel comfortable talking about and to be treated with some dignity as anyone else would despite the subject matter of my work.

If I can't even have that request then really, I have no place being here. 

Thank you to all my watchers and friends and I'm sorry it turned out this way. 

-Vee

... This was my fault.
 If I didn't say anything about that one little drawing, You wouldn't have been subjugated to the worst of us.

You have my deepest apologies.

Too bad. It would have been nice to at least look at your deviations.

For anybody else reading this commentary section, can someone elaborate on what happened exactly? If there`s something i missed?

Short version: Several of her photos featured her bare feet. She was not, in fact, "into feet" in a sexual fashion, and also was very much already in a relationship, and she simply asked that any of us who were into feet sexually not barrage her with crude messages and notes trying to start RP or try and get her to send them nudes. As is often the case with reasonable requests they were ignored often enough for her to get fed up, delete all her submissions, and politely walk away. Those of us who respected her and her wishes were sad but understood. I still miss seeing her around and chatting on occasion but I think she absolutely made the right decision for herself.

Well, Bee, I am genuinely sad to see you go. I totally understand why you are going, though. With the anonymity of the internet people free to be rude on so many levels. It really makes you question just how truly advanced we are as a people if we express caveman mentality when no one is looking. I've enjoyed reading your posts in addition to viewing your pics and art. I feel like one of the better reasons for logging onto DA is now gone. You are one of the few on here I think would be cool to know in person (not implying anything). I certainly wish you the best with everything. You'll be missed :-(

No I totally get what you mean. People just love abusing on the Internet. When someone is nice like this most people either take advantage of it or ridicule them caus they're a troll.
We are going to miss you very much :(

No, implying that she can't have nice things like a hobby because other people take it the wrong way.  Because certain people imply it's okay to ask deeply personal questions.  Or other people implying that she's owes them anything.
