(VENT) A warning about ignorant, malicious and rude comme...
4 years ago
Guys, I am very appreciative about when comments are made concerning my work, and I'm thankful for all of them.
However, there are times when I come online, and I'm not in the mood to hear why someone posts comments that make me or my viewers uncomfortable.
I do not tolerate "constructive criticism" by any amount, because it doesn't exist. Advice BUILDS, criticism TEARS DOWN. That's how it has always been, and the two are not inter-changeable You CANNOT use criticism to construct anything. I have a major in art, and frankly, the mind to tear anyone who thinks they're Jason Bourne and can just be walk into MY GALLERY, acting like their opinion is the only valid one, into confetti.
However, if there is something about my piece that contradicts itself, then tell me by note.
I also do not appreciate comments that harass others for no reason, or in the case of what made me post this journal, comments that make my viewers uncomfortable. This doesn't just apply to types of comments made to spite the work, or maker of said work. It also applies to those that poke fun at the demographic I appeal to (Adult artist). At this point, I've been on Furafinity long enough for people to know that I make a specific kind of artwork, and properly tag it. THEREFOR, you REALLY need to look around INTENTIONALLY to find it. No one has ANY business pulling the innocent soul-act, by going on an ADULT art piece, and posting a comment that rips at the work, or the atmosphere established by said work, in order to promote their personal bias.
This includes comments like "This is weird lol" "Why is it/he/she in that position??", or ANY COMMENT ATTEMPTING TO MAKE MY WORK LOOK RELATED TO A TOTALLY UNRELATED, BAD SITUATION OR POLITICAL GROUP.
If I post Slime/inflation art, don't be a raging potatoe and post comments that are/or encourages mockery, alienation, or hurtful opinions of people who like that when nothing depicted is illegal.
As a furry artist, we all know how it feels to have this done to us by society, and it is dis-heartening when it happens inside the community.
This especially applies to what's marked down as the "first" comment, which often dictates how people associate others opinions of the work, and subsequently influences how they view it.
The first comment is a validation of the impression an artwork gives the viewer. It shows the artist that their work appealed to their target audience, and if a random person post something pointless, hurtful or ignorant, or out-of-context, it INVALIDATES the artist' intended impression, and diverts from the subject matter in the piece.
I have blocked people for intentionally, and indirectly insulting my work sheerly because they had the gaul to make it the FIRST comment. The FIRST opinion others associate with something they didn't make. You can NOTE ME for criticism, but if you don't like it, then don't favorite the work!
If you are the first commenter, and you say something that criticizes my work, instead of compliments or adds to it, you WILL be blocked and not unblocked.
I wouldn't have posted this if it only happened once.

I would love a commission!
Send me the idea by note.
