Rant, How do you feel when a random stranger...
14 years ago
General
...treats you like a pet?

How did I feel?
I'm enraged. If it was IRL the hand that patted me would have been bitten off.
Warning: I'm about to rant.
The first thing that ticked me off, is the first impression.
That's guy's English is so poor, yet it doesn't feel like he's non-native speaker. I am a non-native speaker, yet my English is better than his.
He's there to compliment my art. Okay, That's good. I was quite lonely on my DA account anyways. I only post clean art there, that's probably the problem. ( lol ) So I appreciate every comment I get, positive and negative. I answered like I always do, I said thanks, I answered his question about how I paint fur.
What kind of respond do I expect?
1. No response. That actually happen a lot, I'm very used to it.
2. Thanks for answering the question. That'd be great.
3. Ask more questions about the method. That'd be awesome. I might just tell him more about my method if he's interested to learn.
What kind of response did I get?
"goodie tiger *pat pat*"
...I'm enraged. That was completely rude and uncalled for. He's a complete stranger and he has no excuse to act close to me like that. That kind of response should be from someone who taught me something and I successfully master the lesson, or from a satisfied commissioner, .... or from someone who tells me to do something. and I did it successfully...someone ABOVE me in rank. Or at the very least, from a close friend who said that as a joke.
This. Random. Stranger, whose art isn't even as good as mine, treated me like I was his pet, implied that I was lower in rank than him. May be unintentionally, but
I. Am. Enraged.
It took me so much patience to keep myself from rampaging him with all of the bad words that I know. I thought I was an expert in dealing with DA drama while keeping my composure ( I was in a lot of DA dramas. ) but this... this isn't even a drama. but it pissed me off....so....much.
Okay, so is this normal for you people? To just go around typing about patting strangers in the head? Or am I just having a culture shock? Because where I'm from, "respect" is very important.

Somehow, I'm not feeling good at all.
No you are not the one in the wrong here, not in the least.
You're making me feel better. Thank you. :)
Somehow, I'm not feeling good at all.
The reason's justified though. I'd pretty much react the way you did.
Cultural/brain difference, I guess? :\
But when that threshold is reached....be prepared for a scary angry tigress rampage.
Thanks, though. I didn't know if it's my fault that I subconsciously put myself above in rank to that person due to his lower art skills... That's why I'm pissed off so much when he failed to show me some respect.
You never play on the stranger's head, for me. That's just going to block the chance to even say a greeting.
I guess he's imagining that you are a four-legged walking tiger? Hah.
I almost explode on him... I swear, I had to use every drop of my patience to refrain from doing so.
and yeah, I guess so.
*rants* But I did not make that art for him, nor did I use normal brush just to please him. It was not for him. It was for myself and my commissioner. I'm not his pet, I'm not his slave, I'm not his employee. I'm not his trainee. He is NOT above me... in rank...
gosh, I'd better go to bed before I chew on my own laptop.
thanks, I'm feeling better now that I get to talk about it with some good friends. :)
Just think that it's an accident. <3 Go to bed.
Just my opinion. You asked.
I usually don't let anything this silly get to me... but oh well, My patience has to run out sometime or another. One explosion and now I'm back to normal, ready to face more silly people with the usual composure.
Still, I expect some certain amount of respect from people who just asked me question about how I do art.
I tend to hurt other people....verbally....
I don't think I can do it even though I might want to. You know, I'm a female and all...
I would just end up hurting my own fists.
and I don't think he knew that either. :P
