Sometimes I feel like my art...

General
.. is a dirty little secret.
Some of my stuff is fast approaching 10,000 views, but the favs and comments don't get anywhere near the anticipated numbers. Either some people just like looking over my stranger arts repeatedly (understandable with flash) or lots more people like my subject matter than are willing to admit publicly.
I'm pretty sure its a mix of both, but I wonder how much of a mix it is.
Rough estimates put anticipated favs for popular art at about 7%-10% in relation to page views.
However when it comes to diapers that ratio drops to 3%-7%.
I don't have a real goal to this journal, just felt like pointing out something I've noticed and suspected.

FA+

nothing against it, but my most faved and commented stuff is usually some sort of common fetish in the FA furdom
Most of us, like me, just don't like to comment very often, I'm guessing.
I can say that there are many who view and seem to enjoy the content, but are shy about expressing their enjoyment.
Some of us are in the closet even from other furries.
For what it's worth, I'm one of those people that looks at each and every one of your pictures, but doesn't dare fave them -- I bookmark them privately inside my browser. In fact, I made this pseudo account just so I could look at things without fear of damaging my "clean" identity. (I made another one on FTT just for your thread.) But it's a dilemma whenever I want to compliment you on your work -- because of the alias, anything I say is just coming from an irrelevant stranger.
In conclusion, I like all your work, and that stuff the best, because it's inventive and funny.
And thanks for supporting :D
but those are the less commented pics along with the "everyday" non-mature pics.
Also, drama is a good way to make us feel better about it.
Really though, I like your art, and I don't mind faving your stuff. Personally just not a fan of the diaper stuff, I feel I should note. I suppose a lot of it for a lot of people is not having that much of a divide between themselves here and offline, so they use caution in what they comment, fave etc. to avoid IRL drama. I make something of a point to keep this whole furry thing in general almost entirely online, and it's served my social life quite well. Not saying this is the way for everybody, but that's how it's been working for me.
I see what you did there.
I comment on the stuff I do favorite to tell the artist what I like about the picture, Rarely do I ever fav stuff without a reason. I visit now and again when you have something new and if I like it I will fav it but usually the only stuff that I noticed gets commented on is fetish related, there are many drawings few and far between have I ever received on a normal picture.
Everyone has their thing. I love the cutesy stuff you draw :)
I think a lot of us are already internet anonymous, and once you go furry how is any fetish within that any worse anyway? It's definitely not about the diapers. Though I hate if they get used as more than puffy padded clothes, is that a conflict of interests? Maybe you could specify if they're "used" in every picture so we know how to feel about it
Naturally, it's to be expected that people may not be open about personal matters such as sexual fetishes. They aren't exactly things you need/want everybody to know about.
