The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings, only to feel dumb and no

ABJD's offical stance

by ~WyldAngel-dolls, Oct 25, 2012, 4:02:44 PM
Journals / Personal

Alright guys, you know how rarely we use ABJD as a soapbox. We do, however, have some subjects near and dear to our heart here. Bullying is one of them. It's come to our attention that this is going on openly in the BJD hobby lately. Threats have been made against people who have done nothing wrong. Adults who should know better are acting incredibly childishly. I can't say for sure if the situation involves any of our members or not, and to be honest I don't care. Let me make something clear:

We love dolls and we love the creativity that comes from them in all forms. We more or less only accept Asian dolls because of that little "A" up there, but personally we collect and make all kinds of things.

We do not care:
- if you have a Soom or a Bobobie
- if you are pro-recast or anti-recast
- if you collect only BJDs or collect everything
- if you are 80 or 13 (younger than that what are you doing on DA?)
- if monster high dolls have balljoints or not
- if your faceup/mod is stunning or you need more practice

We do care that you treat others with respect and dignity and receive the same from them. The only thing that ~Inimicality and I can promise that this group will never supporting bullying anyone for any reason.

~Debi-Chiru Oct 27, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Totally agree.

Although, with the fifth point there: Monster High dolls (and Dollfie Dream & Obitsu dolls) have ball-shaped hinge joints. These joints are engineered to have the same appearance and aesthetic of ball joints, but are still hinge joints. It is not ~technically~ correct to refer to them as BJDs, because they don't actually have ball-and-socket joints.

I have no issue with them being grandfathered into the hobby, as they're quite similar with the customization aspect which I think is the core of the hobby.

~WyldAngel-dolls Oct 27, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

Hmm... that is an interesting point, but I'd have to disagree, having owned a Dollfie, Obitsu (mind you it want the Balljoint body)and several MHs. The obitsu at least has what I would term ball joints, and so does the dollfie. The mechanism is different, but not by much. Makes me want to get my hands on an old german doll just to see.

*PaleoClipper Oct 28, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you both for that information. I just got the customize thing for the MH dolls (came with a blank doll) and I was curious as to if others would consider them ball jointed or not.

~WyldAngel-dolls Oct 28, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

I do, in so much as I consider my Dollfie a ball-jointed doll. I do consider them a like a "little sister" or "Starter doll" for the bigger resin and vinyl BJDs. But you know that's just me.

*PaleoClipper Oct 29, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Now I'm curious, would my MH doll be accepted into this group? I've been working on her to make her more "alive" _{her skin was green, i didn't like it</i>.}

~WyldAngel-dolls Oct 29, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

No, because we only accept Asian or strung resin dolls. I haven't yet found a good customizing group for MH dolls, though I haven't looked too hard yet.

*PaleoClipper Oct 30, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Ok. Good to know- I don't like annoying admins by submitting wrong things. I'll wait till it get Adrannia then. Thank you

~WyldAngel-dolls Oct 30, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

no problem ^.^

*Cat-Grenade Oct 26, 2012 Student Photographer

Well said. It's sad to think people are being bullied over petty things like that. For a hobby like this, we should be supporting/encouraging each other, not nitpicking.

~WyldAngel-dolls Oct 26, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

You are absolutely right. I've seen both sides of the hobby and usually when it gets drama-filled I just step out. However there are times of exception where people need to know that there are safe places and nonjudgmental people.
