This is pretty out of proportion. It’s not that they don’t have self control. Some of them probably just didn’t realize how people would react or didn’t care
I genuinely appreciate the art, and honestly I’m not really that into most of the pieces. That said, the urge to make a joke is sometimes too strong to ignore.
I am speaking of the reply-makers, not the artists.
You’re BEYOND fine - even making fun of one of those people once (the Caitlin Crown piece you did in the drawing people’s slots topic. Where she was boutta pull a sword on the guy who said “smash”)
Sure doesn’t seem that way.
And considering how, well, unique some of the replies are - not to mention unending, it doesn’t even seem to be ironic as @Gamehero14 believes it is.
You see, we live on this space called the internet, which some of us may not leave at times. On this plane called the internet, some people try to be “funny” and “quirky”. They do this by many types of means to gain access to the key to the internet, nicknamed “Attention”. One type of people looking to get to “Attention” is by acting absolutely batshit out of character to everyone else, wether it be yelling insults at everyone (I see you writing “ain’t reading allat”), typing stupidly long essays (I’m here all night), or acting really horny and becoming that one gif of the wolf character distorting their entire body shape. In some cases, the subject of this “Attention seeking” may fully acquire these personalities, which can lead to side effects such as being unable to talk to one of the opposite gender without going into some sort of mental shock.
Now here we are on the Arcane Odyssey Forums, of which we have people drawing art of characters who by chance happen to be female. Now this is personally fine, however we have characters, such as mentioned above, who see an image of an imaginary woman and lose another half of their wits. This is common practice across the internet.
Another factor can be pinned down that the internet allows people to anonymously talk. This allows them to act however they want with little repercussions.
In the end, I just got bored and started typing random shit from my ass lol. Can y’all just not go so crazy over drawings fictional women. It affects the artist who makes the art, it makes some people disgusted, and overall you’re unfunny. :P
This isn’t random. You hit the nail right on the head. That’s why I don’t respond to those kinds of comments. They might be gross but me replying to them would only give them the attention they want.
I have come to the conclusion that you were right, people were in fact serious. I would say “God help us”, but I’m atheist and even if I wasn’t, I think he’d have abandoned this hellish place long ago.
