Contest: Club ID

Journal Entry: Tue Aug 8, 2006, 11:32 PM
...Well, seeing as we never did get any submissions, does this mean that no one is willing to make an ID for our club?

EDIT

Well, we now have an entry for the contest, so the contest is on! Check out the lovely entry done by ~x-Scar-x here: [link]

Thank you very much. And to the other deviants that have not yet entered something into the contest, the new contest deadline will be August 15th. Once again, to submit something to the club, either for a contest or otherwise, just send us a link and we'll take care of the rest :D

:peace:


~~~~~BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR MIND~~~~~

All right then, before any of you start bashing our club with all sorts of nonsense, read the rest of this journal first.

We're NOT here to start a war against homosexuals. This is against the gay literature and material itself, NOT against the gay population. Think of it as a support group for the non-yaoi/yuri fans, since that's what this really is for.

The reason that we started this club is to give those of us who prefer the traditional boy x girl coupling a club to go to on dA. Some of us have really good friends who are yaoi fanatics, and we're ok with that. Some of us have friends that are actually homosexual, and we're ok with that too. Recently, though, we noticed the number of overwhelming amounts of boy x boy deviations and clubs for yaoi fans here on dA. So we thought that we should give the old schoolers a club just for them as well. A support group, if you will, so that people who don't like yaoi/yuri don't feel so out of place because they just don't like something that's so popular here on dA. (Whatever was said about yaoi above goes for yuri as well, btw)

Just because we've decided to start this club does NOT make us homophobes. Actually, we should probably explain what an actual "homophobe" is just to clear the air of any confusion. Just because someone doesn't like to watch homosexual activity does NOT MAKE THAT PERSON A HOMOPHOBE!! A phobia, for those who don't know, is a very strong FEAR, a complete fight/flight response when extreme, of something that in itself is not dangerous. A person that actually suffers from homophobia is a person that is either TERRIFIED of anyone the same sex as the homophobe OR a person who is TERRIFIED of homosexuals and homosexual activities. It can also apply to a person who is terrified of sameness in general and becoming homosexual themselves. Therefore, disliking someone or even hating someone who actually suffers from homophobia, a real homophobe, is really unfair and rather discriminating. So don't go around telling everyone how you dislike homophobes because that really sounds stupid anyways. Is this clear? Good.

Please. If you are a yaoi/yuri fan yourself, do not bash our club. Go to one of the several different yaoi/yuri fan clubs instead. We don't bash your boy x boy/girl x girl clubs; therefore you should not bash ours. Ok? And please note that we never said that we want everyone to dislike yaoi/yuri. That is not what we want. Ok? :peace:

~~~

Rules of the Guild:

1. There will be NO homosexual bashing on here. We're NOT here to start a war on homosexuals. You'll be removed from the member list if you do so.

2. No bashing on other yaoi or yuri fan clubs. We ask that those clubs please report to us if you see one of our members bashing your club and we will remove them from the member list.

3. You cannot like yaoi or shounen-ai if you want to join. I know this seems obvious, but we ought to make sure that that's clear at the outset. (Same thing applies to yuri and shoujou-ai)

~~~

To Join the Guild:
Just send a note to the Guild and we'll get back to you asap! You should also watch the Guild as well.

~~~

To Submit a Deviation:
Send us a note with the link to your deviation and we'll submit it as long as it follows these guidelines.

1. The deviation does not contain yaoi/yuri or shounen-ai/shojo-ai. The reason for this club is so that members may come and submit their artwork in a yaoi/yuri free zone.

2. The deviation does not contain hentai/perverted artwork. Let's keep our art rating at a PG-13 level and lower.

3. The deviation does not contain hate art or bashing. That is not what we're here for. We're a support group here, and we're not trying to start a war. So please no hate art.

Also, if any of our members could point out some great straight couple art that also follows the guidelines, we'd like to get some favs up. Thanks.

I was googling for anti Yaoi guild of sorts and I found it :D I do not hate Gay/Bi People, I just do not like Yaio period. I am happy there is a place like this in a website covered with Yaoi lovers...specially when I am not one.

What I do not like is when people who like Yaoi turn something that is not, into something wild and out of context. It is this that brings most good anime to their demise.
~DreamIllusion:iconDreamIllusion: Jun 10, 2007, 6:38:35 AM
I, a shonen-ai fan, am truly glad that this club is tolerant of others' opinions and do not hate yaoi/yuri lovers. I truly wish more people were like your founder. Maybe then, we could all live in harmony. That's something I'd truly like.

But alas, that's a far-off dream. In fact, the clouds of war gather even as we speak. It may take several years or decades, but I fear an all-out war between yaoi fans and non-yaoi fans is inevitable.
I am no prophet, and my predictions are inaccurate. Yet it may someday come to pass that both our sides will clash on the fields of war- something that would completely shatter DA.

Anyway, I hope that the more radical members of the yaoi fandom don't attack you for your opinions. Believe me, we here at the yaoi fandom are as sick of those extremist fools as your club is.

I suppose I should wrap up my speech before they find out you've been conversing with a yaoi fan. That could be as dangerous as the Inquisition finding out you're talking to a heretic. :XD:

See you around, then.

(PS: Your name says that you're "The Anti-Yaoi Guild". I thought you were against both yaoi and yuri. :rofl: Just kidding, it's OK.)

"That's my main issue with a lot of anti sites and rabid het fans, that they tend to act like the yaoi fans are at the gates and will soon break them down, ransack their home, carry off their women, and force them to watch Gravitation at gunpoint."

The name was more something to grab people's attentions (We were a bit silly coming up with the name when we started the club ^^;). We were also trying to make a point that not everyone enjoys looking at that kind of artwork. We aren't actually trying to get rid of the homosexual artwork, as you pointed out in your comment. But as it stands, we can't go back and change our "username" anyway, so the name will have to stay. :shrug:

However, thank you for actually reading our journal rather than just flaming our club just because of its name. It's nice to know that people still do read the journals.

I could prolly give more explanations for the club's name, but I won't since now I'm just rambling ^^;

Call me silly, but I honestly don't see the point of making an "anti-yaoi/yuri" club when you can simply make a club for heterosexual/straight art. It seems that is what you want: just more male x female artwork. Unless you are actually actively against gay and lesbian artwork, and judging by your journal, I don't think that is the case.
~Evil-niltiaK:iconEvil-niltiaK: May 6, 2006, 12:43:33 PM
:D Yeah, we believe in freedom of speech and choosing what you like and all, but we also think that that means that it applies to everyone. We don't just want to force everyone to think like us and completely agree with us. If you do agree, fine. If you don't agree, fine. Let's just be civil and agree about being different, ne? Thank you for not flaming us as well as a nice comment :D

:lol: I find it ironic that you would like to make the club ID while we are having a hard time getting our own members to make an ID :XD: And you being a shounen-ai fan :D Sorry, I just find that ironic.

I'm happy you put all these things that you try not to make people not like shounen-ai or shoujo-ai
Some other clubs groups are all like: You should like this and this and that and that...
anyways: sorry XD I cannot join this club because i am a shounen-ai fan...
I would join because i want to make the ID DX

I made mine with a free little add-on program that came with PSP-8. XD Jasc Animation Shop, I think. Not my specialty. XD Animations are so nice and eye-catching, though. *nod nod*
~Evil-niltiaK:iconEvil-niltiaK: May 4, 2006, 5:58:31 PM
I figured you were. Abstractly, it would be humorous. However, I am trying to prevent yaoi lovers from flaming the club, so I put in my reasoning. ^^; Sorry for rambling like that.

It made sense. :nod:
Thanks for being so sweet. :3
And you're right. It's all about acting mature. Nothing good comes from bashing and flaming people just because their opinions don't mesh with yours. ^_^ Your club seems to have a really nice community... but I should have expected as much with Takara as a founder. :3 And you seem to be a really nice person as well.
Teehee... Maybe I should stop cluttering up your club front page. XD <3
~Darth-BobCat:iconDarth-BobCat: May 4, 2006, 5:53:35 PM
Well, I was mainly speaking hypothetically. Abstractly, it would be humorous.

XD I still really love it, though! And, well, avatars are hard to make--especially animated ones. Mine took forever, and it's still pretty badly done.
You have an awesome friend. :3 Her av. is wicked sweet. XD <333
~Evil-niltiaK:iconEvil-niltiaK: May 4, 2006, 5:42:03 PM
lol I'm afraid that I did not make it, seeing as I am...rather terrible at creating avatars ^^; My friend ~CreativeDemi64 made it for me. You should see her avatar. It's awesome :XD:

Ok then, we have a deal :D And thanks again for supporting our cause, even if you may disagree. It's being civil even in disagreement of opinions that really counts, ne? (Did that make sense? :confused:)

Yours too! =o The smooth animation is completely drool-worthy. <3

^_^ Haha, that's a really sweet thing to say. <3
Alright, I'll take you up on your offer. That sounds plenty fair. :3

I'll be keeping an eye on your club--even though it'd be inappropriate if I joined. XD
Here's hoping for your further growth in members of your "support group"~

We do realize that yaoi haters do post derrogatory things on the yaoi clubs, but we're gonna try and keep that from happening. Or, at least try to keep our members from doing that (can't guarantee preventing anyone else outside the club from doing it though...)

And thank you so much for the comment :D I think the important thing is that we're really not trying to start a war or trying to get everyone to agree with us. We're just providing a "support group", that's it. Thank you so much for understanding us :D And if anyone from our member list starts flaming you for liking shounen/shoujo ai, I'll take that member off our member list. Sound fair?

Saying that people who dislike yaoi/yuri don't post derrogatory things on yaoi/yuri clubs is incorrect.
I get what you mean though, and I think it's really neat that you've made a club like this and still kept it so tasteful, when many others have failed to (those who share your opinions as well as those who feel the contrary). Though I'm a shounen/shoujo ai fan, I hope you don't get too many flame-posts on this innovative club you've built.

:nod: :heart:
~Evil-niltiaK:iconEvil-niltiaK: May 3, 2006, 7:26:56 PM
