Approaching 300 watchers

Maybe I should run a raffle? That seems to be the thing to do at this sort of milestone.
In even less important news, I finally (accidentally) accomplished one of my old goals for this site. You see, when I first joined my intent was largely to troll the place with my poorly-drawn art and offend people with anti-LGBT comments. Furries, used to trolls much more skillful than I was and art much worse, didn't take the bait and I eventually started making friends and decided to just try to get along. But today, I offended someone enough to get blocked by responding tepidly to her enthusiastic support of an "LGBT friendly" artist (as the selling point, as though that were something special around here). I even stated that I was going to check out the artist mentioned and see if I liked the art anyway (I didn't, it was all creepy big-lipped semi-humans).
I am so tickled by this. Earning peoples' ire accidentally reminds me of why I used to love Internet trolling and similar attention-begs (or makes me feel terrible and depressed, depending on the "offense").

FA+

But yeah, i can understand the joy of earning someone hate...i just prefer to be hated by those that deserve it!
And it definitely feels better to "earn" someone's hate for simply being yourself than it ever did to hate anyone for any reason. Really all these artists do by arbitrarily blocking me waste a couple minutes' worth of my time before I realise I've been blocked and prevent me from ever commissioning them.
And you're right, earning hate by being yourself can be strangely fun!
