Think before you comment

Journal Entry: Tue Dec 4, 2012, 6:14 PM

Gallery::[link] • Commissions::[link] • FA:: [link] • Tumblr::[link]

So today we had an only girls assembly about self-esteem, and how some girls are mean to one another for no reason.

It got me thinking about the most recent comments that had been uploaded onto my profile and some of my grad pictures from the summer and how much they actually did something to me.

I don't understand why people are doing this, and no I'm not making a journal so you can go "White knight" these people. I'd just like you to know what I have to deal with from some people on here.

It's really turning into a sort of Amanda Todd like thing now, it never bugged me untill people had been coming on my stream the prevous weekend and saying bad things, that night I had a breakdown and ~badassstunts knows about that and how it went. I had such an erge to just start going at my wrists again but I know that's not going to fix anything and I promised Cody I wouldn't do that anymore either.

I'm going to copy/paste some of the things that have been said to me

"You're so annoying, I mean seriously you copy SO badly.
You have the same practically everything as HinaUchi, you use the same border, and even the same signature font.
You're despicable.You're probably going to reply with more of your pitiful comments because you are to stupid to think of something else to say. or you'll just ignore or hide the comment because you know this is all true. You really need to be more creative because you're practically pitiful. Oh and you seem like a slut, i've seen you before and you pass the word "love" around to easily.You don't know what it is at ALL.
People like you make me sick."

"You're a slut and you copy HinaUchi.
It looks JUST LIKE HER STYLE
The way you do your borders and all and the Livestream things and even your signature.
So yes.
Get creative, or get fucked.

hoe.
:toast:"

Those were some that were posted on my page, now here are some that were posted on some pictures of myself from the summer

"you remind me of my brother



and he's rlly ugly"

"Fix your teeth pancake chest"

I'm sorry but what are the points to comments like these? There really isn't any except for you wanting to hurt the person on the reiciving end.

And then there's comments like these that just make me smile so much

"Is it wrong that I'm just laughing my ass off at all of this?
You can't exactly 'rip off' an art style. But, you can have a similar one. In this case, very similar. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Take :devfuschianess: for example. Her art used to look exactly like *Agoraphobic-Blue's art, but guess what? Blue didn't care. They were bros, people.
:devrargimmeahug: is friends with *HinaUchi. Does *HinaUchi seem to care that =rawrgimmeahug's style is similar to hers? NO. So why should we care?"

"I personally think your style is very unique and nice, whether branched off of an idol or not. I'm absolutely sure your style changes, and I hope people don't give you too much shit about your art looking similar to *HinaUchi's

I know I'm a complete stranger, but, hell, I think you could use some genuine kindness.

I think your art is very cute, and your fursona is very unique and one of a kind. I know you seem not to worry or care about trolls or people hating on you. But I know it probably also hurts you personally and does not help your self esteem.

I want you to know, now that I have found you, I really enjoy your art, and I have been spending that past hour just looking through it. It very nice and fun to look at. I am going to be watching you, and I really cannot wait to see how far you go in the future.
If you every need someone to talk to, I'm always around. But I'm sure you have plenty of good friends for that, so I'm probably just blowing my own whistle here. :]
Anyway.
I just thought you deserved some nice and kind words, and I hope you at least smiled a tiny bit while reading this. If not, I'll have to try harder next time. ;]

Anyway! Good luck on your art quest, and I wish you well, Stranger! :heart:

Personally, I love your art, and it's just so cute holy crap. <3"

I just really wanted to share with you guys about what I'm going through and I hope you understand now

No I will NOTE give the usernames of the users who wrote the negative comments

Honestly, I do have some...reservations about your art, but I'm not going to divulge into that. Irregardless of what people think of your art, they shouldn't resort to calling you names and throwing petty insults at you that have absolutely no basis. For one, a slut is someone who's been with a lot of people, and from what I've seen, you have done nothing of the sort. If someone has something to say to another, they should do it in a respectable manner. It's like with art critiques, some people think that calling it "a piece of shit" will help the artist, but if anything, it's 10 steps backwards and does nothing to help them improve, but politely pointing out what they think should be changed is a better way, and the artist is free to take their advice with a grain of salt anyway. Block/remove those who are rude and take advice with a grain of salt if you don't agree.

Also, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't mark my comment as spam, like I said, I do not wish to divulge on my opinion and I won't.

people just need to calm down uwu ... Your art has been amazing and individual since I can remember, It was bound to happen that you would have a similar art style as someone else. But that doesn't make you the same. It also doesn't mean that people can start comparing you two, you are both wonderful people and all of these people don't have the right to invade on your personal matters. Im sorry that they ever started this insane idiotic war. Please, I hope that you feel better soon... <3

I see nothing wrong with your art style. I never imagined people would give you so much grief about it.. it just shocks me. And I pity that those people have nothing better to do. Your art is very original, and unique. It bothers me how people are so close-minded as to think that there is never going to be someone out there who has art similar to someone famous/popular. I'm not the best with comforting, so sorry if this doesn't really help much. I just hope that you feel better, and don't let what these people say get to you. They're choosing to sink themselves so low as to insult a perfectly fine artist with great skills and potential. Keep your head up and stay well!! c:

D: I'm so sorry to hear that you have to go through crap like that. Some people don't even think about how their words affect others, and the ones that do and still say things like that are just horrible! I think you're an amazing person with amazing art. Just because your art may look similar to someone else's now, doesn't mean it will later on. Styles change and get better. All the people who troll you and purposely say things to hurt your feelings need to grow up. Stay strong. I and many others will be here for you if you ever need someone to talk to, or rant to. Try not to feel too down, you are an amazing person who deserves better than what you are getting. <3
