Rant

Okay.

To the anonymous assholes who have been commenting lately...

You do NOT have the right to tell me what I can or can not draw! You do NOT have the privelage of controlling what I should or should not be doing! Unless you own the characters I am drawing, or are paying me, what I do or do not do is non of your buisness!

I draw because I want to! I draw what I draw because I enjoy it or sometimes because I need an emotional outlet that doesn't cause physical harm. I am not drawing strictly for your pleasure and will not be treated like some puppet or possession! If there is something I draw that you don't like, don't look at it! I give warnings if it could possibly be offensive or may trigger something emotional. If I have not given enough warning, then yes, you may point out that I should have put a better warning or a higher rating and I will listen to that.

But, you may not call me names, you may not insult me or insult the people who do look at it! People have the right to choose what they do and do not want to look at and what they do and do not enjoy! You cannot choose for them and are not allowed to judge them for that! I have been polite in the past but am severely getting tired of this.

Yes I draw guys as couples. Yes I draw girls as couples. And no, not everyone agrees with my choices and I respect that. I don't always agree with their choices, but I don't get mad at them or try and make them feel ashamed. I draw gay couples and I draw heterosexual couples. There are less of the latter because it's something that still makes me feel uncomfortable due to the fact that I was assualted.

And on that topic. If you are hear, and you do not wish to know about my life, click on the tag that says 'art' and simply look at that! I write what I want here! No I am not asking for attention. No I am not whining! No I am not making things up in order to make myself popular and no! I'm not trying to be 'emo' or 'goth' or whatever other label you want to give me. This is a journal! It's a little more open then most because my condition allows me to talk about it and I have discovered that by letting people hear what I've gone through, many people realize they are not alone. That there is someone out there who understands.

I rant and rave here because I know there are people here who care about me and want to know how I'm doing and who can offer advice and help. And that advice can help others in my situation who are too scared or traumatized to be able to say what I can. I offer my voice when they can't because I know how it feels to be alone and I ask that you not yell at me for it.

You don't want to read it, then skip it. But do NOT demand that shut up or tell the 'truth'. Do NOT tell me to quite whining! And the reason I don't put everything under an f-lock is because there are many without an LJ who want to keep up to date with me and I will not demand that they get one. I will not restrict what could possibly help someone. And it HAS! I have emails from people who I have never met or ever heard of who have gotten advice from the people who comment in my journal and it has helped them.

So I don't regret the fact that everything about me is here in the open. And I will not let you make me feel ashamed of that fact. Believe what you will, but keep the hurtful comments to yourself.

This is my art and my life.

I am choosing to share it with everyone.

You do NOT own either of those two things and do NOT have any control over them.

So deal with it and shut up!

...

To everyone else, I love you and sorry about the above.
