Concern about the comic "Fever Saturday".
11 years ago
First I want to thank all the people who have seen my comic, commented and added to your favorites. Many liked and that has me very happy, because it's my first comic and I saw a very good response.
But one thing has me intrigued, I received some comments negatively, which apparently do not like the theme of "rape". I tend to be a tolerant person and respect everyone's opinions, but I think if you do not like something, then there is no need to see the comic, but also, I appreciate those comments because I learn from that and in the future may help those details .
I feel a little uncomfortable doing this journal, but I had to say, silence is not good at all.
Good luck!

But really, it's the internet, it's a big place where everyone will eventually see something they do not like. It should go without saying that instead of leaving mean or hurtful comments they could simply think "Oh, this isn't my cup of tea" and close the image. Why people don't do that, I will never know. Perhaps it's just in their nature to tell the world how displeased they are with everything they saw that they did not like.
I mean, what's the point in spending 10 minutes complaining about a picture I don't like? I'd much rather spend those 10 minutes searching for and talking about a picture I do like. So the negative comments are a waste of their time, but even worse, they make people around them, particularly the artist who put so much time and effort into making that picture, feel bad. Add up all these factors, and the conclusion is that it's highly illogical to bring someone down based on an image you don't like because you're getting nothing out of it, the other person gets nothing out of it and everyone feels worse.
On the other hand, by standing up to these unpleasant people, one could convince them to stop wasting their time on things they dislike, and start enjoying things they like! Additionally, showing the artist some support. Whether you like the content or not, every picture is a lot of hard work. I'm sure most people would be unhappy if they spent many hours working on something (anything, it could be a picture, a house on Minecraft, an essay, a complex dish) and when they chose to share it with the world, others would keep saying that they don't like it or that it's wrong.
Another point, which I put into the comment on the picture, is the difference between reality and fiction. Most people would agree that murder is wrong. But most people would also agree that movies with murder are fun and exciting. We enjoy them because we're aware they aren't real, and the characters' deaths have a purpose of building tension and plot. Similarly, real life rape is awful, but in fiction, nobody is getting hurt, so why the big fuss? It may make people uncomfortable, fair enough, but as far as real living people being harmed in any way, there is none of that.
Como lo comentaba anteriormente, en mi caso cuando algo no me gusta entonces no lo veo... y si por una cuestión llego a verlo, entonces simplemente cierro la ventana y ya.
i wanna say thank you for sharing your art with us :3
Otherwise, I really like your art, the comic looks nice, and hope you continue to share more. Thanks!
Yes, of course there are some things that we pretended as children, shooting the “bad guys”, smashing our toy automobiles (as “tanks”) through a series of sand-pile “houses”, played at being gigantic skyscraper-tall monsters devastating one city block after another, or left our “wife/husband” of yesterday’s play at “House” and took on another “mate” without a second thought for today’s play. If we did this as adults (or real monsters) in the Real World it would be shocking and worthy of criticism.
Rape, incest, promiscuity, universal homosexuality, bestiality, murder, robbery, super-heroes and secret organizations are all just “what if” games for children and exist almost entirely within written/drawn role-played fiction.
Unfortunately there are overly sensitive people for whom the difference between reality and fiction is a blurred one. Then there is also young people eager to be perceived as “grown-up” adults. Make-believe “what if” ideas are easy “targets” for either of them to try and attempt to the control the world of ideas around them or try out their newly acquired “adult morality” against.
Also, on another level, many people believe in the Myth of having a “right” to privacy no matter where they are. That their privacy must not be “invaded” by what they as individuals find objectionable in public places. Public places such as the Internet. Welcome to the 21st Century and its inmates.
The best we can do, is practice tolerance and/or indifference in dealing with them since the end result of both is the same. Hopefully the “offended” will simply go back into their dark little corners of self-absorption and leave the rest of us alone.
