Live life to the fullest, love with a full heart. Apparently yesterday someone was looking at my gallery. Specifically, at "Nike Aroused", the pic of Nicole the Avro Arrow showing off her all. Their comment? "Alt version without dick, please".
My initial inclination was to rip into them and perhaps use some unladylike language. I settled for saying "Allow me to point out this is character is my creation, made to suit my likes and dislikes. If you don't like my character, you're free to not look at her. However, asking me to create an alternate version strikes me as more than a little self-important on your part. You might as well as me to make her into an F-22 or something; I'd be just as set against that. Also, be advised that the majority of my characters are cockgirls. Please refrain from asking for "alt version without dick" of any of them as well. "
AITA for thinking that was a pretty entitled comment for them to make?
ETA: I do have a screencap of it in case the comment mysteriously vanishes.
ETA2: To be clear, I don't think this was so egregious that I need to report the person in question to FA staff. This is annoyance, no more.

I don't understand these people. It's like they think they're the main characters of the universe.
But in all seriousness, I can't blame you for feeling like you do at this. I'm just amazed at your restraint in the response
Once some guy commented on one of Quillu's pictures saying 'I don't like how you draw the lips on your equines' and when Q told him she draws it how SHE likes it, the guy replied with 'I have a friend who is an artist and he also says you're doing it wrong'. Like, what xD
So this guy who commented on your pic has the same mentality: "I don't like it, so it's wrong, plz fix." xD The entitlement of some people...
"Can you do this but nude."
"Make an animation out of this please"
"Can you do this but make it look like my girlfriend/crush/wifu"
NO.
Obviously, you're not the asshole.
Someone on E621 decided to be a smartass and photoshopped the penises out and posted the "corrected" versions. I had them immediately removed.
They're my characters, I decide what they look like. And if other folks don't like it, IDGAF what they think.
I know you feel the same way, GingerM.
