Never really received anything negative yet, but one sub never commented except for one years ago when my skills weren't still all that polished:
"Wow, she looks like a man."

yeah and i think it's fine if its like that.

it was when someone was upset over the protagonist of my comic but tbh i've been getting some criticisms about him being kinda 'flat' which makes me go 'ahh :("

It's a shame then that people don't tell you why they find the protagonist flat, then (Or why they appear flat when compared to the antagonist). 'Flat' does not help much. I can't promise to check it anytime soon because I have so much of a backlog of comics to read, but I put it on my to-read list with a note about that. It is Star boy, right?

The number one thing I hate about the internet: people bravely punch others in the throat just because they can. I'm really sorry that someone said that to you. :frowning:

Actually, maybe I shouldn't even say 'bravely', because I doubt these kinds of people would say anything like that in real life. So, more like 'cowardly'.

Eh, it doesn't bother me. It made me wonder why my piece didn't do well in comparison to others and there were several factors. The last place you should ever go for confirmation of feelgoods is reddit.

I cold probably find his original comment in the history but that was the easiest to find

I'm glad it didn't bother you. I just don't understand where people get off for being jerks.

yeah! its up to you if you wanna give it a read, i never wanna push people to read it.

but him initially being the way he is is like a massive story element

plus its still early in the comic to rREALLLYLYYY JUDGE

It was years and years ago, on another website.
I was sort of in a bad place already with burnout and feeling low about my comic when I got a comment that amounted to "I don't know why people read this overrated crap. The art is garbage and the story doesn't make any sense."

I'm kinda sad to say that was the last straw for that comic. (Though, my current comic is a reboot of that old one hahaha. Guess I beat the troll in the end.)

I've gotten more hate than that over the years, but I think I remember that one just because of the timing of it.

Sorry! Shocking cause I just subscribed to several of your work today, and I love them. I guess everyone has a right to their feelings but it’s not an artist or writer’s fault you don’t know how to unsubscribe. Bleh. Just wanted to let you know I quite enjoy your work! :seedling:

like some others said,the worst "comment" i've recieved from "readers" were complete silence. but that silence was added with a rating of 1/10,and so far these are most of the votes i've had for my comic. not only the fact that it dosn't help,it's straight up sabotage,my comic's stuck with a low rating,and so far none of those who voted this low bothered even telling me the reason....

so far i had only 1 comment,but that was actual fair criticism and the guy didn't rate me from what i know,the people who did rate me and rated me low said nothing.

i don't know how much i deserve for my comic,but i sure as hell know i don't deserve to get rated that low,and if i do,i worked hard enough to atleast know why... otherwise those ratings are literally a worse way to say "USUCKLOL"

From mangatoon: "i don't understand a thing​:rolling_eyes:...its just that m skipping through the pages. At first i thought the long haired was a girl until i saw him in the. shower​:slight_frown:"
-maybe you'd understand if you read it instead of skipping... and I keep on getting baffled by people surprised that a BL series with a description clearly stating that it's about a gay couple has male protagonists, like, do those people even look at what they click?

and from webtoon: "Tf u talkin bout... this shit boring asf​:skull_crossbones::skull_crossbones:️" - that's just plain mean

Didn't answer any of these ;p also can't recall any such comments from tapas - I've got really supportive readers here ^^ also no mean comments from comicfury and globalcomix, though I don't get that many comments there in general ;p

I also had a beta reader comment repeatedly "what's that supposed to mean?" Or "Did you mean it like that?" The worst part was that they refused to clarify what they meant by that. My lines weren't complicated and all the dialogue was written to sound as natural as possible. Nothing too complex!

tapas hasn't given me poor/mean comments, but I did get a few here and there on youtube. The comment was some middle school kid (yes they said their age in the comment) and it was something like, I can do better than this, blah blah blah, this thing sucks, blah blah. I basically responded with, Look at the video date. Its a few years old, and yes I can do better than this now to, so have a nice life somewhere else if you don't like it. I think I handled it pretty well, because I know that my fanbase at the time would have called them out on it (as it happened before) and I didn't want that to happen again. Another poor comment I got, although not insulting to me or my work, was a link to a porn site. :frowning: Bots be putting these links in the wrong places. I was actually sad, as it was my first comment on DA and I was hoping for it be be another artist. NOPE. :confused:

I'm too small for bad comments but replying to bot comments if I did and they could feel, would be "Please for the love that is holy leave me alone. I don't want your virus filled garbage on my page. Leave me alone. Try a site full of neckbeards if you want success in that scam"

I haven't gotten mean comments on my works yet. I am very grateful for that, but I did have someone randomly target me and call me the N word on one person's comic and told me something to effect of that they wish they could flag my comment and called me the three letter F word on another comic. I wasn't talking about anything except how cute the comic was on both occasions so I boiled it down to someone just wanted to be a troll. I ignored them and the comments were deleted by the creators.

hold up a minute.....did that reader randomly assumed Bowser was trans????????

Oh, for some maybe-necessary context, this is from a story about that popular Bowsette character from a few years ago. Bowser ends up coming out of the closet as transgender partway through the story (this sounds really stupid out of context) and then that becomes a very important part about the rest of the story. Based on the chapter they commented on, the reviewer didn't like something I did involving shipping and wrote this obviously because they thought it would cut me deep to call me a "bigot" but I found it funny more than anything else.

The worst comment was from someone who wanted to promote his shi** in my comment section, writing to MY readers. :rage:

"YOU MIGHT ENJOY MY COMIC BETTER!! (LINK)"

This probably doesn't count as comment by a "reader", but it's pretty insulting to dismiss my content.
