I had to delete some stuff.

It's silly, now that I think about it, to assume that somehow ponies colored with roseart markers are somehow "safe" from a certain denomination of trash found on deviantart. Thing was though, I had assumed the really, really creepy, seedy underground of dA shouldn't even be a concern of mine for a couple of reasons.

1. I'm not famous.
2. I'm not drawing Sonic.
3. Bronies are generally not that bad, and the bad ones tend to get laughed out of town when they say too much.
4. I'm naive.

Now, in an ideal scenario, I could upload cute pony stuff and have it not catch the attention of gross creeps who do who-knows-what while looking at it. Of course, in this hypothetical utopia, people can still do things without them having a sexual connotation (I'm asexual, as if you didn't know), so it wouldn't have been an issue in the first place.

"Wait a minute, maly, are you saying because one creep commented on just one of your stupid pony things, you take them all down and lose faith in humanity?"

Not quite. It's not that it was just anyone who commented, it was the most vile sub-human creature I've even seen to exist. I'm not talking about a politician, either. It's actually so bad I refuse to say what it was. But, if you've ever talked to me about some of the worst stuff dA can offer, I've probably shown you it already. Trust me, it's really, REALLY bad.

So, now I'm stuck with this choice: either delete the comment and pretend it didn't happen and realize that I am now on the radar of this thing and patrol my page so the rest of the cretins don't show up, or just delete the pictures and hope they forget I ever existed.

And that's too bad, because I thought they were kinda cute. But I guess it's not possible to separate fun, cute things from, vile, disgusting monsters yet. Seems like an easy distinction to make, but these freaks jack-off to disney cartoons, so trying to distance yourself from them when your content (so far) is ponies is difficult.

...sort of wondering if I should ask Jessie to hide my credit as the artist on her page. I know she attracts a lot of creeps, so maybe if I plug up that end it'll be ok?

And should I go in and change some of my favorites too? Is THAT too much of a beacon for creepos?

And this just gets me on the verge of another rant where I go on and on about being lumped into groups that I have no business being in. Groups that honestly scare the shit out of me and repulse me in every way, that are even now making up new labels and nonsense words to throw at me beca...

ARGH! The urge to rant is so powerful, but I must resist.






Point is: creepy people got the wrong idea about some drawings I did, I got freaked the fuck out and deleted them.

da' end. :/

P.S. I don't want to give the wrong idea here by saying that I think people who imbue decidedly non-sexual things with really gross and nonsensical icky implications are ALL sub-human monstrosities that need to be rounded up into camps and gassed to death. Not at all. In fact, I'm genuinely pretty tolerant of even the most weird stuff provided it doesn't actually cross the line or jump the shark if you know what I mean. Even "vores" can be okay, I guess. Just... please, stay the fuck away from me and my family.
