The internet troll is a solitary creature, most often found living in the dank depths of their mother's basement, emerging only at night to raid the kitchen for Cheetos. The internet troll spends it's days lurking the internet, most commonly art galleries and forums, doing anything it can to stir up trouble for no other reason than to see how people will react. This may either be a plea for attention, or more likely, the troll is merely a bored douche bag with too much time on his hands.
I became a victim of the internet troll at my Yaoi Gallery account today. Some jackass reported over half of my pictures and got them deleted as a violation of the website's Terms of Service. I assume the troll claimed them to be Furry artwork, which (for whatever reason) isn't allowed at the Y!Galleries.
The artwork in question was all Osmosis Jones artwork...and the characters in question were not furries of any sort. In fact, there's a section of the website (small though it is) dedicated to Osmosis Jones fanart. The movie isn't exactly crazy popular though, so I guess I can understand someone mistaking the characters, Thrax at least, for some kind of furry.
The interesting thing though, is that it's always the same handful of artwork that gets reported. A little less than half of my Osmosis Jones fanart is still there, safe and sound. So yeah, I'm almost 100% sure it's just a troll with nothing better to do.
Either way, it's annoying. Y!Galleries is painfully uptight about the artwork they allow on their gallery. Considering it's a website dedicated entirely to male homosexual artwork, you'd think they'd be a wee bit more open-minded. Apparently not.
I'm trying to contact a website moderator to resolve this issue. Here's hoping.
