Why I enjoy seeing the group get art I don't like.

This is something I've been thinking of writing for a while, but a discussion in another group has prompted me to go ahead and do it now.

I don't like every piece of art that comes into the group; there are some I even hate. However, I'm not going to remove those pictures from the group- and I hope we get more of those pictures. Sound contradictory? Well, let me explain further...

There seems to be a problem with groups- especially groups with themes which are highly likely to be thought of as fetishes- that instead of sticking to their theme, they come up with many entirely arbitrary rules that have nothing to do with the group theme. Now I'm not talking about groups which decide they only want non-mature artwork to be displayed, I'm talking more along the lines of something like a monster girl group which refuses to accept anthro dragonesses because the group's leader personally dislikes anthros. This is a horrible way to run a group, and I promise never to let Succubi Love be influenced by my personal tastes in such a manner. And I'd strongly encourage other groups not to fall into this trap either; why?

1) Just because you think of something as a fetish doesn't mean everyone in your group does. You have to remember that dA is an all-ages site, and you shouldn't be thinking of your group as a fetish group, even if it does happen to be a fetish for you.
2) Groups are not meant to be simply a collection of your favorite pieces of art. They already had a function for that long before groups were even a part of dA; they called them favorites. We are SuccubiLove, and I will never let it be limited to "Succubi SpaceMedafighterX Loves".
3) When rules become arbitrary, it becomes harder for people to find a single group which fits the theme they're looking for. With SuccubiLove, you watch this group, and you can see demonesses of all sorts; with groups that have arbitrary rulesets that limit things just because of personal preference, it becomes harder for those watchers to keep track of things, because that's more groups they have to watch- if they can even find other groups for it.
