Okay wow. Complete change of mood now.

I know the whole point of the previous journal was to show my less intimidating and nonthreatening side, but as I read through my inbox today I found myself very irritated by more comments than usual.

But I think I know why. Because I haven't submitted original works in a while, I carelessly forgot to expect the obligatory comparison comments like:

"reminds me of _____!"
"not to be rude but your character reminds me of ____"

I wouldn't mind it so much IF THEY WEREN'T THE ONLY THINGS THEY SAY IN THE COMMENT. Do these people not THINK before they TYPE? Seriously now, do you think I WANT to be told that my 'original' stuff isn't exactly original at all? Now, I know that NOTHING is EVER completely original anymore, but I thought people would have enough manners to NOT make specific comparisons to bring the artist down. Oh wait, it's the internet, nobody gives a shit about manners huh.

How would you like it if I went through your entire gallery and said "wow this picture looks A LOT LIKE THIS PICTURE [link]!!"
You'd think "What the fuck is your problem you shitfucker."

Not that, that's what I exactly think of people who make these comments, but when such comments ACCUMULATE in my inbox it KINDA PISSES ME OFF TO NO END?

I'm sure a lot of other artists have the same problem, so do us a favor and REFRAIN from making comparisons of our original stuff to existing anime and whatnot.

It kind of makes me sick that this is not the first time I've written a journal ON THE SAME TOPIC. But it's to be expected anyway since new people keep coming along and just have soooo much fun pushing me to this bitchy PMS state.

And I'm not even done yet.
Can someone explain why one would even BOTHER typing comments like:

"whatever"
"okay then..."

HUH?! HUH?!?! Was it something I said? Are you offended by my pedo and gay lawyer drawings?! Well I'm SORRY my works have put you in so much trauma that you can't even make constructive comments Perhaps you should just stay clear awayyy from my page.

I apologize for flipping my mood so quickly, but as I said. I'm just an ordinary person, and an ordinary person DOES NOT LIKE TO TAKE SHIT FROM PEOPLE. _{Unless if they're masochists but that wouldn't make them ordinary really...}
I don't doubt these annoying comments will continue to pop up. Hell, I bet the culprits don't even bother reading what the artists have to say judging from their lack of consideration for others. But yeah, I just needed to vent. Hard.

Now excuse me as I prepare to get guilt tripped.
