Why is Dite drawn as a Mage?

♥ I have too many friends to list, but you guys know who you are ♥ON TO THE JOURNAL...
So, I got a few notes this morning that I was none too pleased with, so I figured I'd address the situation via a public journal.
First of all, when I draw Dite, my fursona, as a White Mage, the intention is not to mimic or bite off of anyone else. The real reason I draw my character as such is because from 2002 to 2010, I spent the majority of my free time playing the MMORPG, Final Fantasy XI.
-> (75 WHM/ 75BLM /70 SMN -: Kujata Server (Now Valefor))
Considering I spent most of my teenage years playing this game, I really wanted to incorporate the class I came to love, White Mage, into my character's design. Not only did I love the class, but I was pretty darn good at it c: If you ever played on the Kujata Server, I'm sure you've heard the name "Anuvia" around. As much as I love the original outfit design I've made a few tweaks given that hat is pretty ugly (and in my Linkshell, the WHM AF hat was commonly refered to as a condom). Asdie from the condom hat, I've tried to keep the outfit and even color of magic Dite uses as integral to the game as possible, as more of a tribute to the game that brought me so much fun as a teen.
I'd also like to point out that Dite being drawn as a mage is nothing new.. In fact, if you browse my gallery, You'll find a good amount of White Mage art. In fact, I've even commissioned art of Dite as a White Mage, and others have given gift art of her too.
There is nothing 100% original about being a "mage" in any sense of the term. I don't ever claim to be the only whm/fur out there, since that would be utterly delusional. Furthermore, using "magic" for a weight gain sequence is hardly original either; In fact I'd bet it's been done log before any furries thought of it, mmmyep. I can think of a few legends and myths from the time before Christ where cultures had established stories of this sort.
So to the few of you making accusations, Kindly get over yourselves, as you're not original as you think you are.
The fact that I had to make a journal explaining myself for why I essentially draw my character in cosplay is just ridiculous

Like, people are ACTUALLY messaging you, being upset.
Holy, aaahahah. People get their knickers up for all the wrong reasons.
Sorry you have to deal with them.. journals like this are pretty much obvious information for anyone who isn't delusional. :3
You really, really shouldn't have to explain yourself. People shouldn't be noting you.
You shouldn't be dealing with this.
But eh' Haters gonna Hate.
God I want to play again so much. I was a white mage as well, but getting a party together just for it to fall apart made me stop playing. I might return one day though...
Actually, White Mage is awesome. Especially in 8-bit theatre. Then again, it allows me my Nun fantasy
I MEAN
LOOK AT YOU
COPYING MY OBVIOUSLY ORIGINAL IDEA TO DRESS UP AS A WHITE MAGE WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT A CHARACTER CLASS FROM A VERY SUCCESSFUL VIDEO GAME SERIES
for shame.
All kidding aside, I'm sorry that there are people who really decided to take the time to give you hell about clothing design, but that just goes to show you what popularity does
that's kind of impressive
You're seriously getting flak for this?
Then again I've seen artists on DA go into a rage because they think they hold the copyright on purple dogs. Or lemurs who like to party.
Stay classy, furries.
No one is ever pleased.
My sympathy for you being attacked.
I think it's a great little touch to your character
