Posting that pic here did have a lot of lesson learning events. It helped me sort who I thought was a friend and who really was a friend. Some people reacted very well, while others didn't. I had one that I call a "Block and runner", someone who in the past had blocked me, for what I feel are unjust but still somewhat understandable reasons and unblocked me so they could comment just before blocking me again to prevent a reply from me. I'll have to look, but I think I blocked two people on Deviant Art because one was consistantly putting dozens of hate messages on my front page about how someone else was a bitch on my watch list, and the other was someone who was trolling more than I ever did. Sure, I like to start a fight once in a while if I feel provoked, but that kid was really taking it to extremes.
I was surprised that some artists that I thought I had ticked off not only agreed, they faved the pic, feeling that some of the angles foxy boxing likes to take advantage of is, to put it bluntly, fucking sick, sad, and wrong. More dishonorable than slipping date rape drugs sort of wrong. I had a nice convo with some artists who left this place because of the baby fur, the increase in VORE activity, and interest in rape.
At any rate, people who are not artists who I will ONLY refer to as my "heavy hitters" liked that I was trying to get my message out, they thought my method of using other's characters as victims was a bit low, so naturally the columnist who was going to publish a story about it all decided it wouldn't be worth the potential issues considering Green Legend and Laine were in there.
It also shows that my works, my visions, were all just not what the fandom wanted. A pic of Sierra by Shawntae Howard over the course of a week didn't get shit for hits. Yet I was getting more than 100 hits per day with the pic I posted here, over on Deviant Art. I got about four times as many hits here as I did with other pics. Why?
Green Legend and Laine were in it. It's really about the only variable I can think of. If someone can't stick thier dick in it they really don't care about it.
I pissed people off, and I knew I would. I found surprising support from others. It felt pretty good to get the message out there.
Still, I was all alone out there aside from Steve. It would have been so cool to have had others stand up and say "You know what, I think some of that is pretty sick shit, too." and keep the ball rolling. I had no expectation anything of the sort would happen. There is still that shred of hope that others would stand up and say "I agree!" if not throw some punches. Still, it feels all right to have gotten up there and stood for something I believe in, I made enemies, earned respect, and layed down what I consider law. I guess everyone else either doesn't agree with me or was too afraid to say anything. "They might get mad at me if I say I think some of that stuff is sick." sort of mentality.
Still, chasing away some friends like Tetsuo and others is my fault because I only gave good critisism. I didn't say anything bad on their journals or art pieces. I never said "I don't agree with this sort of thing" so in the end when enough anger and rage built up for me to choke slam my opinion on the subject down some throats. Had I made my other feelings come through eaelier perhaps I might not have had that much anger. The anger isn't gone. It hasn't simmered down. In some ways it's fueled even more now. I just have no more ways to get it out there.
