You chose your Lj handle well, if you really don't *get* (as you said in this post (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sosadlyfucked/48270.html#cutid1)) why posting this sort of thing in a community where the majority of members were raped as children is "so offensive".
I think you DO get it, and that you posted this here with deliberate intention to cause pain and distress to people who've already been hurt in hideous ways. Already got thrown out of three communities for posting it, did you? Poor, poor, poor you; artists are always SO misunderstood by those who just don't have your innate sensitivity.
If I were moderator of this community, I'd throw you the hell out too. Not because I personally have a problem with your little image there - unlike a lot of people here, I'm natural multiple, not trauma-induced, and don't have any particular emotional response to dolls - soak 'em in blood, set 'em on fire, whatever, to me they are just plastic. By the way, in case you think you're too avant-garde for the room, doll-abuse as an artistic "statement" was already trite back in the 80's, and calling it "retro" doesn't make it any less trite now.
Nope - I'd throw you out for thinking it's oh-so-cool to "shock people", or, more precisely, to hurt them in the place where they're already wounded, just for your own petty ego-gratification. Two of my best friends in this community are struggling to deal with the lifelong effects of having been raped as babies, Miss Goth Angst, so stick your sanctimonious little "artistic statements" where they best deserve to be stuck - yeah, you're evil, but you're Evil Lite compared to what people here have already been through.
