"Evil" has been around only since the Zoroastrians divided everything into black and white, dark and light, good and evil. Dualism and extremes is pretty much unknown before that. Evil doesn't really exist, for many of us... it is just a concept to describe the worst parts of human nature. Others believe that evil is a concrete entity who can be called into your presence with the right rituals... and who will then do your bidding. Having an anonymous gallery for the exploration and celebration of that which is bad, ugly, terrifying, and ghoulish will lead to warfare of the nastiest sort, made worse by the assumed shelter of anonymity. Not only will there be rampant thread wars under the gallery images as people tear into each other (you should have seen what was happening in the political galleries last election), but the bad blood will spread into the other sections as artists get dragged into this battlefield. I am minded of something that John Gardner once wrote about our responsibilities. We who create do have a responsibility not to add to the world's burden of filth and depravity and ugliness and misery just to wallow in it. There is plenty of that already... just read the news! And, for fairness' sake, if Renderosity created a gallery for "darkness", it would have to create a lot more galleries: toys, childhood, fuzzy friends, wrinkles, fish, astronomicals, collectibles, hats, cars, as well as each of the several hundred split-off churches. A celebration of aging is just as valid as a celebration of darkness! As mentioned above, if you want a gallery full of anonymous posters creating and commenting upon work of this sort, why don't you set it up? There already are websites where goth, sadism, or deviant images are posted, so make your own, add a warning label to the front that it is age-restricted and unmoderated, and put the energy into running it. You might want to make it hacker-proof. Carolly Hauksdottir My nude photo is on my artist's page ;^) but enough members have met me who can vouch that I'm just as opinionated in real life.
