@Codykins. "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?"

THANK YOU. Honestly, that schpiel, ALL of it, was exactly what I wanted to see.

Many of the people who give you a hard time are merely fans of popular tumblr users who have painted you as a villain, and in their wake, their followers have done so too, not even taking a lick of their time to know you. The thing is, I've tried to step out of that zone by seeing if there was a different angle to all of this. I roughly observed you ignoring all criticism and playing the "haters gonna hate" card. I never got to see... well, THIS. And thank you for taking the time to explain this to me.

I feel like if more people saw this, they'd get a better idea of who they're talking to and to think on what message they want to convey in the first place. Tumblr's biggest flaw is that nobody can stop for a conversation. They can either be like "this is cool" or "screw you" and walk away without a care.

I still don't like the pinups. I still think it's all gross. But since you explained yourself in a way where I know you're not "a seven year old brat" (I jest :D ) I can lay off and put this issue to rest. You're clearly not ignorant, stupid, or immature, (as opposed to a whole lot of other fans in the fanbase, exclusively the dA Mal fans) so despite the fabulous snark and over-the-shoulder sass we fired at each other, I feel as though this was beneficial and enlightening.
