Massifesto

Nice eyebrows. Reminding you this man is 31.

Massifesto (Vin Vidvault, according to his blog, although this is not confirmed and who the hell has a name like that anyway) is a severely butthurt and self-proclaimed professional who dwells in the depths of deviantART (and his toilet). He recently surfaced (despite being incredibly well-known) into the hellish pit known only as the complaints forum to post an extremely biased and elitest opinion on how mediocre artists should not be allowed to critique pro artists, along with plenty of other bullshit. Despite being a 31 year old man, he types and thinks like a 13 year old tartlet who's blinded by their own awesomeness.

Money=talent!

Massifesto believes that because he has the money to commission top artists, this suddenly entitles him to brag about how high and mighty his pedestal is, and how the lowly shouldn't DARE critique dem pro's.

“	If you haven't met me yet...I am pretty new to dA. been on here for about a year but have made a lot of noise since i arrived. I have commissioned over 50 top artists on dA for some really amazing art pieces. you have probably seen my characters at some point. some of the artists I have commissioned are (insertlist of artist's here) among many many others. the concepts and characters are mine...so i consider the art very personal. I work closely with the artists on pieces. If you know about character creation...you may realize that writers invent most characters...what they look like, their style, etc. artists usually don't invent characters.	„

Sure, because we all know that artists don't come up with their own characters.

Fuck you, peasants

Following on is a list which strangely resembles some sort of butch army recruitment leaflet.

“	Are you sick of power tripping admins of groups? Are you tired of being insulted by artists who are not skilled enough or famous enough to speak down to you about your art? Are you tired of them running to each other's defense when you answer back to their insults? Are you sick of groups that advertise something about the MO of their group and then turn out to just be brown nosing elitists? Are you tired of admins who make groups only to promote their own crappy work? Are you tired of admins who make their groups about licking the sacks of really elite artists (who probably laugh about it or don't even notice)?	„

Now, let's back up for a second and answer these questions.

Are you tired of being insulted by artists who are not skilled enough or famous enough to speak down to you about your art?

Now, most people are not shallow enough to judge critique on how famous someone is. Fuck, going by this opinion, Justin Bieber has a right to critique a pro's art even if he can't draw jack shit.

Are you tired of them running to each other's defense when you answer back to their insults?

'nuff said.

Are you sick of groups that advertise something about the MO of their group and then turn out to just be brown nosing elitists?

A comment from one of his own groups:

“	I don't like elitism and anyone can be a member of this group (short of sick attention seekers)...so anyone else (which is 98% of deviants). At the same time...the aesthetic standard and artistic skill level for the group gallery is suppose to be pro-veteran pro.	„

Contradictory much?

Are you tired of admins who make groups only to promote their own crappy work?

Ahem. Who are you to judge who's work is crappy and who's isn't considering you can't even fucking DRAW, and YOU were the one who said:

“	Are you tired of being insulted by artists who are not skilled enough or famous enough to speak down to you about your art?	„

Are you tired of admins who make their groups about licking the sacks of really elite artists (who probably laugh about it or don't even notice)?

Referring back to the answer to the question about "brown nosing elitists".

The lulz is born

For those interested, here is the link to the initial forum post. However, as you may have noticed, his spelling and grammar closely resembles a newly graduated kindergarten student (way to be pro there- you can't even spell let ALONE fucking DRAW). But do not fear, for there is an English translation of this godaweful jumble of blithering bigoted shit here.

...and carries on

Fear not, for there is a second issue to this crazy jacked up elitest crap! So this idiot steps into the fire by entering complaints, causes a complete and utter shitstorm, then claims that he knew people would react this way and it it on purpose. Oh, not to mention that everyone slamming his opinion has no life, no friends, and substituting real life with an internet one

For those interested, here is the link to the thread, and thankfully, the translation.

Oh, by the way, here are some examples of his own fucktastic art:
