And then once you post something more mainstream, they will likely have forgotten their unwatching and rewatch you.

um, it's swatcher. he doesn't post mainstream, which is why he's epic

I should say "less extreme" :P

bingo XD

Welcome to the club! I got about -10 in one day once for uploading very tasteful Rule 34 of Eustace Bagge from Courage the Cowardly Dog.

And I lost -2 for expressing my sexuality.

:I


I'll never unwatch you! Everything you draw is awesome!

-10 in one day!

*bows*

Next you'll be telling me you can squeeze the blood from a rock!

Also, thanks. ^^

post something that is grossly against someones likes, the "-" are bound ta happen, but its no big loss, eh? we dont have to do things folks expect of all all the time XP

Of course it's no big loss! I know people have unwatched me before, it's just funny. I've never really cared all that much about +watches, the people who unwatched me were probably those anonymoos lurkers with paintbrush icons.

heh heh most likely, though Ill admit the Genital thing was from left field ,but oddly interesting XD

Tis all good. I lost 2 watchers when I posted that I was happy about the cub porn ban

See, I lost nothing. :3 That is the benefit of not being talented!

Amen to that.

that's silly

the genitals picture isn't that strange, honestly.

to each their own I guess!

Haha, it's pretty fucked up! But not too fucked up, honestly. ;)

I still wish I had your imagination + drive to draw anything close to that!

3 out of 1900? Not too shabby.

Yeah! I'm sure I've lost more over other things, but I was actually checking this time. ^^

too much of a good thing? lol

bwa ha ha
oh, ha ha
oh ... wow ... I just
ha ha ha

sorry, I having trouble just getting over the idea of someone unwatching because you posted too much porn. ha ha.

I'm actually not surprised, I know a lot of people who are really into the sort of SFW fetishes. Inflation, transformation, that kind of thing, and they don't really like genitals figuring into their fantasy life! I could imagine someone unwatching me over some EXTREME GENITAL ACTION

EXTREME GENITAL ACTION

NOW WITH KUNG-FU GRIP.

A kung-fu grip can do some serious nerve damage!

Well, I loved 'em. Don't stop being you.

That's weird considering you HAVE posted genitals before. Then again, I guess everybody has a limit. At least they didn't raise a stink over it.

its probably the pretentious ones leaving so if thats the case its a good thing

Considering you were one of the very first people i watched over 3 years ago ive sort of gotten used to the fact occasionally you'll post something even too weird for me but ill still admire it because you're a very talented artist still, regardless of that, i liked the "multiple private parts" picture but for some reason i dont know why! (Which is also a recurring theme with your artwork :P)

I don't understand the knee-jerk unwatch. If I've been watching someone for months and months, enjoying, or even mildly enjoying picture after picture, why would one thing I dislike make me stop watching. That's like never going back to your favorite restaurant because they burnt your eggs benedict once.

Personally I have a love/hate relationship with your art. It comes off as everything I love about transformation, and everything I have a deep seated fear of in fursuits.

It was probably a last straw sort of scenario, haha. Like, this was a really really extremely burned eggs benedict.

I'll admit, I've unwatched a few people myself, and for me it's usually never a case of "TOO MUCH" or "NOT ENOUGH IN ONE PICTURE." kind of deal. Usually it's something like a major art style shift that I don't find pleasing to my eyes, or that all they post is straight porn anymore. It usually takes me a few months to realize that I really don't want to be watching a person anymore.

Yeah! I've only ever unwatched someone because they just draw the same thing over and over again, that one thing being something I'm not really into! I don't tend to draw GENITAL HEAVY stuff so I dunno!

Bit it's several unwatches in response to an image, which would mean several people have been thinking of unwatching him for months and for all of them this one image was the last straw.

still got my watch! :D .... dunno if that's worth much though... :S

Whutever dude i still love yer shit ;3

Guess they couldn't handle all that Awesome.

Lol. I thought more genitals equals more watches.

^ xD same here!

I like them, did you see the picture i posted of the flir-like mask?

pft...i sometimes get over 5 with just one submission ;D

See, I don't get that! You draw giant horse cock pretty consistently. You'd think people would know what they were signing up for when they watched you in the first place.

I don't get it either. xD

Unwatchers are always a bit of a blow, especially if you're like me and you have relatively few enough to begin with that you can usually tell exactly who just left the party. I always end up wondering what I did to offend them, which I'm guessing you're feeling as well

Funnily enough it was an unwatch that led to me having two accounts. When I first posted porn I posted it to Sedric, which until that point was almost entirely musical content. Then whilst idly rereading my Watched By list I noticed a certain name had unwatched me. Which bummed me out because I was actually proud to be watched by the guy. I still don't know for sure if it was the porn, or if I'd just posted too many journals and too few compositions, but I had something of a minor crisis and decided the only course of action was a second account to allow people to more easily choose whether they saw the music or the stories go up. On the upside, I've always loved matching pairs of icons

There have been times where someone specifically has unwatched me and it's really gotten me down. But not this time, I have no idea who unwatched me and honestly it probably wasn't anyone I need to care much about. It's just pretty funny to get to the point where drawing the stuff you like is repulsive to people.

Eh, I could suggest making more of those pics. To see what happens.

To be quite honest...erm...I have yet to find anything you do that would make me Unwatch you.

Of course, if you suddenly went up the DramaLlama scale for some reason...

All I can say is oh well. YOu still got a great style that a lot of people like to watch and it's their choice. But dont' worry Swatcher. It doesn't mean that everyone is going to stop watching you because of a piece. (though I am not into genital or adult piece. I just use the filter) Also some people do that. I have had people watch me and then unwatch me. So it's ok. Hope that helps

Don't take it personally! Sometimes people just change accounts or unwatch everyone because they can't deal with the submission-overload.

Oh I'm not taking it personally! I'm just having a chuckle at the situation. :D

It sucks that journals are kind of broadcast to all my watchers.

Hey, I just thought I'd voice my appreciation that you post all this crazy stuff - because I love it - and I appreciate artists like you taking the time to share thier work.

I would have figured that's what most people on FA are here for anyway. Oh, well.

You have nearly 2,000 Watchers. Is this really a statistically significant change? I've got nearly 900, and there is always a bit of turnover.

Not really! Like I said in some comments, this is the first time I've thought to pay attention to unwatches. It's just kind of funny.

Does FA actually tell you if someone unwatches, or do you have to check your numbers?

Think of it this way, your art just made 6 user accounts explode!

Weird. I've never unwatched for a single picture... It takes like, a style change or a flood of stuff outside my interest or something.

I'm more likely to unwatch for boring journals, since you can't choose one or the other here.

Hates gonna hate but u no wut? It's ur art and ur expression so if no ones gonna like what u express then so be it. Your a damn talented artist with a very unique style and very unique pictures anew don't change wut u put out just to someone else's liking. Keep doing wut u do and don't change that ;)

Hey, I saw the picture and was genuinely disturbed, but I recognize that that is exactly the kind of thing that "cleanses the mental palate" as it were. Unwatching you seems unconceivable.

Haha, I like that phrase. ^^

Inconceivable, rather. I wasn't being Joycean with my misspelling. Anyway, you and your work are thought of highly in my mind.

Yanno, not everything has to be kinky and sexy in order for it to be exciting or interesting.

I mean, that is just the impression I get around here, that a lot of people on FA will unwatch for that reason alone.

I don't think someone should unwatch someone just because they made a few things they didnt like. What happened to their interest in you before? What, did they think that for all time you'll never make anything nice ever again?

How absurd.

Unwatching someone over a few new pictures they disagree with just goes to show how close minded people can be. I always give the people I watch a chance. I waited three months for one of them to submit just one thing I liked a lot. Their potential to please is always there, even if I don't always like what they made in the meantime. Its impossible for me to like everything of course, but I wont ostracize someone over being different, yes?

Isn't judging someone on being different the basis of racism, and prejudice?

Let's not get carried away! :)

Of course not. :P

Well, I still like you, which probably means you're DOOMED.

I'm not gonna pretend that those pictures weren't really off-putting to me but man, unwatching you over a couple of thumbnails seems like a bit of a waste!

Wear it like a badge of honor.

Not me, I am loyal, for the weirder your art gets the happier I am... in the pants.

Man, I wish I remember what I wrote fifteen hours ago.
The site went offline right as I went to post it. :I

THEN THINGS HAPPENED.

So I didn't dig the genital paint thing s'much, but whatever; what works for one is rarely guaranteed to work for all. It wasn't that big a deal. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little tempted to -watch on that last one. It wasn't that it was too weird, it was that it was gross-weird. It's the whole holes-for-eyes thing. Even if it hadn't been in a sexual context, that woulda squicked me. I have a thing about extraneous bodlly apertures that I can see into, particularly in sensitive squishy spots like eyes and ears; I've had injuries before that were more damaging psychologically than they were actually painful just because I could SEE INTO MYSELF.

So yeah, that about gave me a case of the screaming fantods. I just had to keep reminding myself that "this is magical Swatcher land, he is okay, and he likes it. This is magical Swatcher land, he is okay, and he likes it. This is magical Swatcher land..." So...actually, if it hadn't been YOU that drew that, it would've been way worse, psychologically.

Awwww, I LIKED those. That's one of the reasons why I added ya! :D

Lol keep the weird crap coming, I love it!

-unwatch

lol

why would somebody do that? it's like they didn't look at your gallery when they started watching you??

let it roll off yer back, my man. :)

Advice from a duck!

I would have started watching you over those pics if I hadn't already. :D

more like sunwatcher

GET IT

Maybe it's people leaving the site because of recent goings-on?

I don't think so! I think that happened after I made this journal. So who knows.
