""It doesn't bother me when you make pin-ups. It's when you take big women and make them thinner just for your entertainment.""

Ok, that Amethyst pic was just a ROUGH SKETCH. I was busy with other stuff at the time and I didn't had the time to analyze her body structure. I made her thin by accident and I would NEVER do that to any female character like her, ESPECIALLY for a sweater meme.

Also, after the fiasco on Tumblr, I discussed it with one of my fellow artists and he had a very similar opinion on the pic. So I took his advice and changed it to this:

http://codykins123.deviantart.com/art/Amethyst-in-Turtleneck-Sweater-499812693 ""It doesn't bother me that you're making anti-Sky fanart. It's when you make anti-Sky fan art and still sexualize her, even when she's in pain. ""

If you're only referring to the bee Beatdown pic, it was for my friend as a Christmas present. He likes those kinds of stuff, so I wanted to make something special for him.

Also, Sky's too gross for me to even sexy her up on my own will. And even if I did, it has to be something that hasn't been done before (in humiliating her kind of way).

""It doesn't bother me that you have opinions. It just bothers me that you express everything through pinups and sexualization of fairly innocent cartoon characters.""

Just for the record, I don't that to ALL female characters. I know that there are some female characters that are TOO innocent for me to make sexy pin ups off of. Not because I don't find them attractive in anyway on their own, but because I don't picture them in THAT sort of scenario.

But even if I did, what the hell do you expect from the people who makes these types of drawings ON THE INTERNET? If this bothers you in anyway, then don't look at it.

""It doesn't bother me that you want your work noticed. It does bother me that you don't consider that there are children in this fandom. You went for a long time of not tagging your nsfw work on tumblr. ""

Just because I don't tag my pin ups as NSFW, doesn't mean I don't care for the safety of children's minds. It just means I have a different point of view of what's acceptable that is viewable for everyone. I only tag something that is NSFW worthy if it has suggestive/ graphic sexual content, full blown nudity, gore or anywhere along those lines. (Most) of the stuff I post are NOWHERE close to that territory. They're JUST pin ups. And besides, I doubt that children under the age of 12-14 would be on tumblr. And even if they did, the parents would put up a safe search engine on it to prevent it. But even if they didn't, kids in their late childhood are going to be exposed to these pin up drawings one way or another.

Plus, it's funny that you would mention the children of this fandom when this show has exposed pixelated nudity, women's private clothing, cussing and vomit to them since season 1. I'm pretty sure that the children will not have some serious psychological problems. And, I would imagine that you had that similar mindset when you first started watching this show.

""It doesn't bother me that you dislike Sky. It does bother me that you believe she needs to experience physical pain for merely not dating a specific guy when he never gave her the chance to talk. Plus, boys use girls all of the time in Total Drama, and you probably could care less.""

First of all, Sky being interrupted ONE time by Dave 4 episodes before he was eliminated DOES NOT mean he never let her talk whenever they had a conversation, ESPECIALLY when Sky "had" the opportunity to tell him about Keith either beforehand or afterwards.

Secondly, give me some credit, I could've been one of those disturbing Mal fans on deviant art who would make drawings of Sky get brutally beat her up realistically. As much as I despise her, even I don't think she deserves that type of punishment. The only way that I could give her that type of treatment is IF she has done something that is so despicable than leading Dave on. And I mean like Brian Griffin in modern Family Guy type of despicable. If I wanted to hurt/humiliate Sky for catharsis, I want to make it look like I'm telling a joke. It's both satisfying and fun to do because I want to entertain people when I'm doing these things. And considering I've been getting some compliments from a couple of Sky fans for making these drawings, I must be doing something right.

And third, technically, there are some moments in the show where the female characters used boys and vice-versa. But at least when they did it, they were seen in the wrong (and that doubles to male characters as well mind you). With Sky, she's more in the wrong THAN Dave, but the finale episode or hell, the entire 2nd half of season 5 sees her as the protagonist and her actions towards Dave perfectly ok. If Sky and Dave switched gender roles, I STILL get the same reaction.

""It doesn't bother me that you don't listen to the "haters". It bothers me that some of them do come to you with genuine concerns on how you're objectifying women, and instead of rightfully defending yourself like you could, you laugh them off and call them 7-year olds, insitlling the idea that they may be right about you. You never say otherwise.""

Ok, with the case of Amethyst's sweater sketch drawing, I can see people being upset over it because, like I said, I didn't mean to have her look thinner than she already is. I'm willing to admit my mistakes if I unintentionally upset a lot of people. And I'm trying to distinguish constructive criticism from nasty, hateful comments and not come off as rude.

However, everything else? The reason why I barely defend my actions is because they always twist my words around and mock them. My haters have a mindset of all they care about is hurting me in the most absurd ways I've ever seen. And they do it either because the stuff I post offends them in some way or because I bad mouthed a certain thing that they love to death.

If you hate Sky, you're considered sexist.

If you hate 6Teen, you're considered delusional.

If you hate Aleheather, you're a person with no taste.

I could spend hours on end try to explain to them my situation on the stuff I post, but no matter what, they won't open their minds and willing to understand what I do. And if they won't open their minds, then why should I waste my time on them?
