WE GOT DAT ANON HATE!Ā I actually had to double-check cause I wasnāt sure if I turned on asks for this blog, apparently not.Ā Fuck, man Iāve been missing out!Ā This mad lad had to go over to False Idol to leave a comment anonymously.Ā And since I donāt want that blog getting cluttered letās respond to it over hereĀ shall we?Ā Letās see what this man has to say.
Oh Iām sorry, was my use of theĀ āN-wordā inappropriate?Ā Ā I thought it was quite clear, I was making reference to a joke thatās been a part of the public conscious and internet culture for like a decade now. AndĀ Iām absolutely certain if I used that old artifacted to shit meme you wouldnāt be offended!
There we go.Ā That cool?Ā You get the joke?Ā
I mean, itās literally the same words, same usage, same context, and demeanor thatās meant to be conveyed!Ā I actually shy away from using slurs in a purely derogatory way, because thatās not fun or funny.Ā And if you didnāt catch on, the whole point of these rants is to have fun, while tearing into the comic where it deserves!Ā But oh no, I canāt say the N-Word even if its clearly done as reference to a popular meme!Ā Even if itās done in a positive sense, in approval of a character and their actions!Ā How dare I as a brown man use the N-Word!Ā Thatās only for black people!Ā I should stick to the slang words of my own culture that no one gets or would interpret as a joke, right you fucking cuxika haoli?!
And as for the cocksleeve comment, oh sure.Ā Iām sorry, did I hurt the feelings of this fictional teenage girl?Ā By calling her a shameful lazy plot device?Ā Ā Forget the fact I was carpet bombing theseĀ ākidsā with F-bombs like LBJ inĀ ānam, calling a fictional girl in a comic a narrative cocksleeve is just too far!Ā Even though I clearly stated what the term represented, and how itās not actually a sexual term in the context of the rant, this is clearly me calling this fictional girl a sextoy.Ā How dare I?Ā I should use a softer word, or descriptor in this instance, to lessen the impact of its use, make it less intuitive as to what it means, like all the words you people come up with! But oh donāt worry, I know what youāre saying. Ā Alright! Ā Fine! Ā Itās a harsh word! Ā I even stated as such in the rant, I shouldāve used softer words.Ā Kinda like how my friend says I shouldnāt call Paulo a Cop-Out Gay, but instead use the termĀ āqueerbaitingā because that definitely has the same impact and gets the point across so much better.Ā Ā
And while weāre on the subject of fictional character ages, you do realize Sam (the cat I use to represent myself in these rants) is like 13, right?Ā And hell, in the rantĀ Iāve not only battered her to a broken pulp.Ā Ā
Bu I also shot this fictional 13 year old girl in the face!
and attempt suicide! (although Taeshiās done that too...)
Oh man I actually forgot where I was in this ask, whatāre they going on about now?
If youāre talking about the reaction images, you do realize that these are all speed sketches right?Ā Ā
I literally made this whole page of reaction Sams in like an hour.Ā Thus the lack of polish, or that much detail.Ā This entire series is just a fun side thing to break up monotony (and punish myself for when I start to slack off).Ā Not to mention, if being good at an art medium was the only way you could be a good critic of said medium, then I guess Red Letter Media, Doug Walker,and Brad Jones are all hacks.Ā Not to mention all the other independent movie, music, and art reviewers too.Ā Ā
(although Iām sure youād probably be the guy whoād argue that RLM are all hacks anyway)
and I like how youāll insult my art and writing, but the only actual complaints you have are on the words Iāve used.Ā And a lame insult to my art.Ā And you say I donāt know how to write a story, but you donāt insult any part of my story or writing.
You donāt even have to look at all of it either!Ā I had a little snippet right in the rant!Ā Itās right there, you think I canāt write a story, or character?Ā Why donāt you criticize these scenes I pulled from my own comic?Ā And donāt worry, Iāll let you critique it even if you draw worse than me!Ā Cause Iām just a nice guy like that~
But I see youāve written more, so letās see what thatās about.Ā
Excuse you!Ā Iāll have you know Iāve been drawing these fancomics for almost FIVE years now!
And yeah, guy.Ā Itās called perseverance and dedication to the craft.Ā Itās what happens when you have a hobby that you love, and spend time working on.Ā Itās howĀ you can go from thisĀ
I know 4 years seems like a long time to progress, and it is.Ā But yāknow what?Ā Thatās nothing to be ashamed of.Ā Iāve spent 4 long, straight years on this stuff, and thatās a feat that too few artists are able to accomplish. Iāve seen so many astists and webcomics, fan projects, fall apart and not even reach one year before they burn themselves out or give up.Ā Artists much greater than me, who honestly deserved to have their stories told, and visions seen.Ā And you can say whatever you want about me, but yāknow what? I can proudly say, I finished a long-form story comic.Ā I said what I wanted to say, I made the comic I wanted to make.Ā And thatās something that too many artists donāt live to see.Ā And hell, thatās something Taeshi canāt say!
I still have work to do, (clean up my lines, work on backgrounds more, be better at plotting scenes...) but I know that if I keep pushing at this rate, and bear in mind what I should improve; the next 4 years will only get better.Ā The only reason Iām not better now, is because of my time on the forum and being pressured by people like you to give up and not pursue what I love doing.Ā Instilling a sense of insecurity and self-doubt I didnāt have before.Ā But then again, itās because of that, that I learned to look so deeply into my own stories to figure out whatās wrong and work on it.Ā Ā To look at BCB and see its own flaws and to call Taeshi out on that, and to not make those same mistakes myself.Ā Ā
Itās whatās made me smart and tough enough to not just take a punch, but throw it back at you.Ā
But now to the final comment!
Oh my god, what do you even say to something like that?Ā Is that really the best insult nickname you could come up with?Ā Is this the kind of lame ass insults you make when you restrict what words you can use?Ā Jesus!Ā That doesnāt even make sense!Ā I know what a one-note person means, I can assume what a no-note person means, but I donāt know what that would have to do with however many people actually care about my art.Ā Dude are you okay?Ā I mean this in a serious way, I donāt mean to insult really but...
Are you mentally deficient?
are you actually retarded?
If so, I admit I do feel a little bad about this.
> Only you, and what, three other people give a shit about your stank artwork and attitude.Ā
SuitCase WISHES there was only 3 people who are like me.Ā
But thatās the problem isnāt it?
You really believe that Iām the only one who thinks this shit.Ā You honestly think that Iām just a random outlier who is just bitching on the internet.Ā Let me tell you, Iām not alone.Ā And for a long time, I thought I was.Ā When I started doing comics almost 5 years ago, fully believing I was alone.Ā But what I learned from those 4 years making comics, working on the canon, and now doing these rants was that I wasnāt.Ā That there are people who feel these frustrations.Ā Not all of them, maybe not to the same degree as me, but they are there.Ā And whatās sad is that Iām probably the first and only person theyāve heard talk about this shit.Ā To say the things theyāve been thinking to themselves, and hiding from people like you, because they know if they tried to voice their opinions theyād get shut down the same way.Ā Iām not championing anyone, Iām not trying to be a role model, or want to be some icon of controversy or dissent.Ā Ā
I just got no more fucks to give, and a lot of shit to say.
Iād also like to mention, because someone brought up the point that this person is probably just a troll.Ā And I shouldnāt respond, but calling/assuming someoneās a troll and ignoring them is exactly what SuitCase does, and if there was someone Iād like to think Iām better than, itād be fucking SuitCase.Ā Besides, Iāve already got the next update for False Idol colored and lined, and ready for words, and the next update after that sketched up and ready for lines.Ā So I can spend the time to meme the hell out of an asshole.Ā And if you think I aināt gonna take the opportunity to make fun of a guy who canāt properly criticize, argue, or even insult me.Ā Ā
(Part 2 of the rant will be coming soon)
