So I’ve recently come to the conclusion that overall in my webcomicing career I will probably never be really well liked by a lot of comic creators. Not that there aren’t any who don’t like me I think J. Grey and Yamino are both (sorry if I’m taking liberties here) on awesome speaking levels with me. Thunt and I have talked once or twice in very amiable ways.
But recently I’ve realized I’m kind of a weird liberal kind of person. Hear me out, recently Jennie Breeden of “The Devils Panties” fame made a comic referencing an old game that featured pink attack unicorns. http://thedevilspanties.com/archives/4643
Now originally that last panel said “I think that as my first encounter with gay culture.” which I found uproariously hilarious. Wasn’t offensive it was not even a real stereotype. She changed it to the current tagline, which made me pause and post on her twitter that I didn’t find it offensive at all and I myself was gay. She replied stating “@mitaukano Pink battle unicorns = gay culture? I don't wanna imply all gays like pink unicorns. Gender stereotype melding? New MyLittlePony”
I’m an artist that does not believe in compromising my artistic vision, unless it’s something truly offensive (one cosplayer I know who dressed as a German SS officer at Yaoi con and drug around her friend in front of a group of Jewish people there on a separate convention screaming ‘help help I’m a Jew and she’s going to burn me!"’ that’s offensive) but egh it just starts to show me I don’t think most people I truly look up too will find me a palatable, such as the incident where I argued with Ironspike for about 2 hours about Catholicism. I’m not super churchy, I try not to be a hypocrite but at the end of the day I am a catholic gay woman, I disagree with my religion on tons of points. But I also believe it’s not right to condemn Catholicism for some of the crap that is happening today and not do the same for other groups who also have histories of abuse such as planned parenthood.
So to close yeah I think people I respect will eventually dislike me but it’s something I think I have to get over.
