I had no idea it existed lol
Though I'd like to turn it off

Well personally, I don't mind having my info shown like that. I know it is an invasion of privacy but it helps people to understand the artist they are watching. Some people that I know have been asked repeatedly what gender they are. So that will make it easier for my friend so they won't get asked that over and over and over again. And I agree some people do judge others based on their information. But it shouldn't matter on what they think. They can judge all they want but it shouldn't matter-there are a lot of artists here that aren't judgmental. Another thing, it doesn't really bother anyone. I don't really notice it until yesterday and it still doesn't bother me.

I don't care so much about putting the artist part after our names. Like the person above me has "Hobbyist Digital Artist" and I believe mine says "Varied Artist". But why does everyone need to see what country we live in, our age, and our gender? That shit's not art related to anything or really all that important outside of our main profile page. Although I voted in this poll to have the option to be able to toggle it on and off I feel it would make things look less uniform in forums and stuff if half the people have it on, another half don't. I think they should just edit it so that the un-related to art crap only stays on our profiles ie our gender, where we live, and age.

Idk why anyone would dislike it unless they are a kid and don't want their age on display. Or if they like to be perfectly anonymous on here with no hint to their gender, location or age. Otherwise, who cares, I think it's nice to know some basic details about a commenter.

It doesn't bother me and why should it? It's information that's displayed on your gallery profile anyway. If you don't want people to know, don't enter it anywhere

I don't mind it, personally. I didn't even know it was there until I read several of the comments and noticed the extra little bit. It is redundant, though, since all the info is on the profile page.

I didn't know it was even there until I saw a journal complaining about it lol.

I don't care for it. Its needless, why add this type of junk when there's so much else dA seriously needs to work on.

Well, the info that's shown is the same as what's on our profile, so that means we shouldn't really mind people seeing it, it just seems pointless, like how it shows how many comments we have on our art (a feature that I like a lot less). Is it really that hard to go see their profile we want to know this stuff? After all, the link's right there. It never seemed like much work to me.

_{young whipersnappers not having to work for anything the world's being handed to them on a platter back in my day we had to walk barefoot in the snow uphill both ways to see someone's devious info grumble grumble}

eh I don't seek why its needed :/
