Do you know if he's been dealt with? I've just realized he's gone almost completely silent on my work. Which I'm glad for.

[serpyra]

He went silent to me after I emailed Michael Son a few months ago. But recently he's been leaving snide comments again so I don't think he's been dealt with permanently.

"Daniel looks like Levi from AoT" - Still happens occasionally.

"So Daniel's a yandere..." - Okay, I don't LOATHE this one, I know why some call him that and I suppose it's not wrong, but I don't know, it feels...limiting. When people assume that, I get the impression they're going in for a certain type of comic that they're just not going to receive.

"Daaamnnn Daniel" - Not that meme, no, NOOOOOOOO~

But really, even these don't bother me that much. They just make my eye twitch a little. XP

Because I quickly learned this community can become invested with idiots, I've made it a habit of taking screenshots and collected evidence of people acting out in rude or otherwise unpleasant ways. Just in case I need to prove anything. If a user's behavior is complained about enough I can only hope the staff does something about it in a meaningful way. Here's hoping <3

i have a commenter that keeps complaining about how my guys look like girls (which i dont see??? apparently the only way to draw a Comic Man(TM) is to make them all big burly and hairy like lumberjacks. no soft boys allowed.) and asking uncomfortable questions abt my trans main character and sounding repeatedly unimpressed with lgbt and nonmasculine guys like.......its an lgbt comic friend......

OH. MY. GOD. I feel ya.

Character comparisons. I totally get that they're just how the brain is wired to recognize and compare but me and my illustrator friend have been getting some really wild ones lately. She draws realistic buff men in fantasy settings of her own design and people will say stuff like they look like the human version of Scar from the lion king. ... A guy who is a winged demon with a spiked tail. I have this one character who in an older rendition had a bumped nose, curly blonde hair, green eyes and freckles. She's a baker and was basically just inspired by commonalities in looks of Irish women. Someone left a comment saying she looked like the female version of Marco from Attack on Titan. Because... freckles, I guess?

Some of these I just start to feel like people are a little obsessed with their fandoms and need to take a walk outside, lol.

It could be that they are that minority themselves and are just happy to see some representation. I know quite a few people were excited to learn my character Tula is Filipina and Andreas is Mexican and some commenters expressed that they shared similar backgrounds.

I've even had some people ask if I were Filipina or Mexican/know Spanish and it's like "No? Is it that farfetched to make characters outside your ethnic group?"

[Luminosophy]

I feel this so hard, man. I designed a lot of characters in my world to be inspired by friends and family I grew up with in a niche little area of Australia. People get race boners for it and think I'm into tumblr brand diversity where the characters start and stop at being dark skinned. (One tumblr blog took an image of one of them even and tagged them as #African American ... without asking me what they were.) I was reading comics when I was 14 and decided to make different looking people for my worlds because I just didn't like that everyone was always Japanese or American. That's all lol. I would rather people just treat them like regular people, yanno.

Recently, I just addressed all of the whiny comments I've had and tried to be honest to my readers....Well ofc it somehow backfired??? One reader is now playing victim, saying I told them to fuck off and that I was rude and such. I wasn't even trying to be rude??? I was just saying that if you don't like this comics then leave. JFC, so there don't ever reply to rude comments cause they can't comprehend stuff.

...I mean that. GIVE UP ON PEOPLE.

[J.Lovelace]

THIS. SO MUCH.

My character has black hair and is named Sebastian, and there's always people who think he's a reference to Black Butler...

[Luminosophy]

Yeeeep. People think my Islander girl who I've been drawing since I was 14 is either Korra or Moana based. Because apparently brown skin, blue eyes and an affiliation with water are automatic qualifiers. No other people like this have ever existed in the real world.

[ahhvecadoes]

people whining on Webtoons about my update schedule (i do a page weekly) gets my goat. it's literally EVERY week. like, you should know by now that this is the schedule, you don't have to read it weekly if you don't want to!

[FlutterbyBubbles]

The ones that don't exist... no-one comments on my stuff.........

[ISNEKO]

I just had to call out Golb again for derailing and essentially replying with spam to an artist's streaming post. I want to punch this idiot in the face.

[orchidesyl]

"Your character's bascially...."
"I like your old art better..."
"Your (insert here) would be more interesting if you draw like so and so..."
"You should draw like so and so."
"thats nice. visit my so and so..."

Comments I hate

"It's too short!"
You're getting free content, plus I have a life and barely make anything from it.

"I love it but wish there was more."
This one is a more polite version of the "too short" comments but it's more of a reminder to myself that I don't have as much time to work on comics as I'd like. I wish I could work on it more but that's just not happening right now.

"This reminds me of Black Butler/ Bleach"
I can't stand both of those shows and my comic was mainly inspired by Ghost Rider and Devil May Cry damn it...Like, I don't even have a demon butler in my series, they are only saying that because chapter 1 had black feathers falling >_>

"Is this character a boy or a girl?"
Even though it's obvious the character is female...
Though to be fair there is a lot o traps in anime these days.

"When is the next update? or update"
Even though one time in the discription of an episode I said I'll be gone for a week and not even half a week goes by while I'm out of town.

"This character reminds me of (insert character name here)"

[bear1]

Hah, I had a dude who was always commenting 'first', even if he was one of the last commentator.
That guy totally cracked me up XD (also due to his other comments)
However, other people in the comments got really pissed at him so eventually he stopped doing it.

But, as I said, he was also properly commenting and just a funny dude who like to troll a bit here and there (without crossing the line)
Those who have really nothing to say but 'first' are still annoying....especially when they aren't even subscribed to your comic and just breeze thruh to post that...I wish I had that much time and boredom XD

[bear1]

I feel you about the plot comments
I don't mind if people make theories where the story or arc is going. In fact, it makes me kinda happy when people's expectations are off (because then I know I'll surprise them )
However, it triggers some insecurities when people guess the plot right...I feel so calculated and obvious. It's really weird (although nobody ever called me obvious or was mean to me....but still )

[bear1]

I don't mind lewd jokes or when people get snarky at the characters or simply have fun with them

But once I had someone who was calling my comic 'a regressive bore' and two month later returned just to repeat that comment....thing is, he never said why exactly he thinks it's regressive (I tolerate the 'bore' thing, because you can't entertain and please everyone)
I assume it's because my two leads are married (as if there's anything wrong with being married )
Or because my female lead wears only dresses and heels (most of the time xD)...well, excuse me, but I friggin love looking at dresses, buying dresses and wearing dresses. Off course I enjoy drawing them too! Besides, it's not like I'm preaching to other women how to dress or even demonize if someone prefers to wear pants and sneakers.
It's simply my style and preferences of clothing I portray thruh my main character. Nothing more.

Other comments I really dislike are from people who claim my lead looks too young.
She's a short woman and a lot of the humor is based on her being short and not looking like a bombshell!
I got so insecure about those comments (although they are rare) that I started making my character a bit bustier and avoid outfits with frills. I hate to bend down but if it makes her look more mature without destroying the character, so be it.

[joannekwan]

Oh, another kind of comment I'm not a fan of: "horny" jokes because my lead has horns.
It's like, maybe I got a chuckle the first time but after the 100th, I'm just sitting here thinking if people could try a little harder.
