I hope this is in the right thread ^^;
well, I have this little issue I thought I could share with you. And I'm hoping I'm not just paranoid about it.
It's about people who just need to be right, or have the last say about anything. I myself in the past was like that, but I've learnt that you just make enemies faster that way.
My example: I recently posted a few pictures on DA. One, which was for christmas, i decided to put a little note stating that I didn't want everyone telling me what was wrong with it, as I knew what I had done wrong. Also being a christmas picture, I wasn't in the mood for a downer. Right? No harm done?
Well, unfortunately that little comment I requested was basically asking for someone to critique my picture. I'm sorry, but if someone goes "Don't jump of a cliff." Do you go ahead and do it? I don't think so (ok, maybe that was an extreme example, but bear with me).
So, being as nice as I could, explained that I had requested for this comment to not be said. Luckily that said person was casual about it and said nothing more.
But when I put another picture up without the warning, I get no critique whatsoever. Does this mean that if I place warnings on my pictures, that becomes an invitation for people to put my work down/make a speech to prove they're smarter than I am?
I had also posted up a cosplay photo of myself and another girl as a Yaoi/Shonen ai couple. It was nothing crude, just a bit of hugging here and there.
My point was, someone (who said they had never even let Naruto pierce their eyes) told a big Naruto fan that this was incorrect as the characters were enemies and that they couldn't begin to say how wrong the pairing was.
I'm sorry, but my shippings/pairings in shows are about as wrong as the next persons. I just thought "that was probably one of the stupidest comments I've ever recieved." because I know that the two characters aren't friends, and definately not lovers, but as fan-cosplay and fan-posing, I'm entitled to like it, no?
But the thing that gets me about some people is that they go to certain pictures and leave comments like "omfg this is soooo gross!!1!" or "That character can't be with so-and-so coz he's with what's-her-face in MY pictures!!1"
For these people, I just think "Why did you even click the picture in the first place if you really don't like the topic/subject/characters in it? That's like, the stupid of stupidity.
So there we have it. My little rant *gets off high horse* And please, if you've experienced a similar thing, discuss it here. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has this issue with people
