A lot of people seem to think that I'm being ungrateful when I speak up about some members of my fan base. As I seem to have collected a number of fans that are stalking me and sending me pictures of my house on google, managing to find pictures of me online and rubbing it in my face because I don't like posting pictures of myself, sending death threats over updates or story plot not going the way they want, hate reading my work (like... I duno the hate it, but they read it just to leave mean comments and as they put it 'watch the artist inevitably crash and burn'), contacting my family members because they can't directly contact me (have one add and start talking to my mom on facebook about how one day we're going to colab on a project together cause I'm going to draw their comic, something that I had not heard about until MY MOM mentioned it to me, this colab project not true or a thing at all in the least or ever.)
It really offends people when I speak up about it how I don't like these fans or how they're really making me uncomfortable because apparently "How dare you complain about fans because AT LEAST YOU HAVE FANS"
No, it's not great, and I don't wish these horrible people on anyone even my enemies. I should not have to stay quiet about having shitty fuking fans of my work just because it'll hurt someone feelings cause "I don't have fans, I WISH I had fans to complain about owo." Just no... you really really really really really really really really really do NOT want fans like this.
I also get the excuse that I have to put up with it or that it's a good thing because "Having horrible fans just means you made it big!"
No it doesn't, it just means that I managed to get the attention of the absolute worst people in a niche little group. There are plenty of artists much bigger and more popular than me that don't have someone selling their address to 'fans' online so that they can contact me and tell me "You're lying about renovations. You're house looks too new, stop being lazy and lying and get back to work and update."
Fuck fans that act like this, and fuck people that get offended that I dare be upset that I have them because "At LeAsT yOu HaVe FaNs"
