Description
WARNINGPossibly unfavorable opinion coming through. If you do not like this opinion, please feel free to leave!
If you do not like this opinion, too bad, because this person is not changing their opinion just because you don't like it.I made this a while back and I always said to myself I was going to upload it later... well, it was quite a while later, I can tell you that!
But anyway, I have noticed some users on this site have made journals on either dA accounts or an entry in their Sta.sh often titled 'don't watch me if/don't talk to me if/don't follow me if/etc.' and listing a bunch of things. Honestly, this is probably the most dumbest thing I have ever seen, because many of the ones I have found (yes, I have found a lot of these disclaimers like this) often are based on opposing opinions towards people who may have a different view than them or if they don't like a certain fandom. It's hard for me to explain, so I have some examples of the ridiculous ones I have found or something of the equivalent so you guys know what I am talking about:
Don' watch me if are an anti-feminist.
Don't watch me if you support [insert whatever political candidate here].
Don't watch me if you call undocumented immigrants 'illegal immigrants'.
Don't watch me if you are against neopronouns.
Don't watch me if you kin [insert whatever a person's main kin(s) are here]. (Yes, I have seen this... it's confuzzling to me...
)Don't watch me if you are against [insert random sexual fetish here].
Don't watch me if you support [insert random sexual fetish here]. (but seriously tho what's with you guys and feTISHES????)
Don't watch me if you don't like [insert fandom here].
Don't watch me if you don't like [insert ship here].
Don't watch me if you are a anti-SJW.
Don't watch me if you believe there is only two genders.
Don't watch me if you are [insert whatever political adjective here].
Now, it's understandable if someone is saying something like 'don't watch me if you are racist/homophobic/etc.' or 'don't watch me if you are an asshole in general' because those sort of things are simply not acceptable or nice things to do to anyone, online or not. That, or if it were something like say 'don't watch me for a watch back' or something along those lines. But if you are going to tell people to not watch you just for having different views than you, then that's a problem, because if you ask me, people are going to watch you for your artwork, whether they have the same views as you or not. Not to mention, as human beings, we all have free will, and we can watch who we wish to on this site because we happen to enjoy that artist's artwork.
I think these two journals say it all in regards to what I am talking about (especially the last one):

i understand some things may seem extreme but people most people do it because certain opinions and views affect them directly. i.e "dni if you support [political candidate]" could be somebody advocating for POC/trans/gay etc people to have no rights, and said person may put that on their DNI list because the political candidate's opinions directly impact their life etc.
or if a nonbinary person puts "dni if you only believe in two genders" its coz theyre nonbinary and maybe they don't want people who don't support them or think their identity exists consuming their work. people just want their profiles to be safe and comfortable for them and dont want things that can make them feel bad or unsafe surrounding them >_<
also on your list i saw you put stuff like "why do people put dni if you kin x character or are in x fandom" usually thats either problematic media (i.e stuff with literal rapist/neo-nazi/racist stuff in it) or triggers. it seems silly at first but a harmless character could remind an artist of somebody who's really hurt, abused, groomed etc them. for example if somebody was in an abusive relationship with a pedophile and said pedophile was obsessed with a certain character (lets say errrr.. kokichi ouma) seeing that character might trigger memories of their abuser :L
im not here to fight or anything in all honesty i dont care what people on the interwebz think im just trying to give a little insight. if you think what i said is the stupidest thing ever thats ok i got real problems to deal with dont care what EmmaDaWolf at devart dot com thinks of me too much

I'm not transgender, either. Nor am I a homosexual. You seem to be trying too hard to get anything correct.

Honestly I think the whole concept of blocking someone because their opinions don't fit exactly yours is retarded, like really. Block someone if they're being an ass to you, if they're being respectful to you or not bothering you, then there is no real reason to block them. Just my opinion though.

I agree. Especially if they have different opinions than you and you don't even know the person or ever interacted with them and they go and block you. I've had that happen to me a load of times.
I would say the only time blocking someone for the opinions is when the other user is being an asshole about it, but if they aren't, then blocking them is pretty much pointless, especially since dA has a cap on how many users you can even block anyway. I think the limit is 1000 users?
I can't remember the actual number, but I know there is indeed a cap. So trying to block everyone who has a different opinion than you would be just a waste of time and effort if you ask me.

I think you are misunderstanding what I have written. For examples, I was only providing examples. Secondly, if you have read my description (which I have a feeling you have yet at the same time might either have missed it, or are just simply wasting your time by being a troll), I have written the whole 'don't watch me if you are racist/homophobicetc.'. By that, that would also extend to everything else. I'm not going to waste my time and write every single 'phobia', because I am sure a few examples are enough for people to get the point.
and fyi, people ahpuldnt be forced to interact with anyone they dont want to interact with. If they dont want assholes watching them, they don't have to.
I never said people should be forced to interact with anyone. But to go and say you don't want someone to watch you just because they happen to have a different opinion than you doesn't mean it is going to be at all effective. People are going to watch you for your art, whether the artist and the person watching that artist in question have differing viewpoints or not. And even if someone has a different view, that doesn't mean they are going to go out of their way to harass you. In my opinion, people who do that are just simply wasting their time and energy.
