I want to get something off my chest.

My name is Dennis Davies, and I used to be an Internet Troll.

Back before MySpace became a thing I used to be on MSN Spaces all the time, and basically, I was a prick.  I would troll random people and get a real kick from being able to say shit to wind people up and get away with it.  And for a time, it was good.

But then you grow up and you change.  Sure, I still troll my friends on Facebook but that's cool.  They know I'm only joking.  However trolling didn't die out.  It got stronger.  It got easier.  Since memebase and 4chan, everyone seems to be doing it.  But you know what?  I don't mind trolls.  Trolls are usually pretty funny and even if someone is trolling me, it's usually quite obvious but I will take the bait and see how outrageously far we can take it.

So yeah, that's trolling for you.  Just a bit of fun.

But then there's Fanboys.  Fanboys are the absolute worst.  I like to put my own spin on fan arts so I don't always draw characters exactly how they look in their original designs.  But I've noticed that lately I seem to be getting a little bit of grief from comments on my fan art.  And it's always along the same predictable lines.  Stop me if you've heard these before:

"Ugh, X isn't the best villain/hero ever, you'll find that X is, actually."
"That belt buckle doesn't go there.  Fail."
"X's costume doesn't look anything like that."
"That battle didn't happen like that *rolls eyes*"
"OMG how dare you draw X naked."

And so on.

But the worst is when I get comments based off something I said in my own description of the images.  I often make flippant, whimsical observations on aspects of games, films, comics, cartoons etc and it's usually these remarks that get the most heat from fanboys.  They will take what I said at face value and not bother to use their brains and work out what it really means based on context.  In short, they simply "don't get it" and will say something in a huff or with a bullshit sense of superiority about why "you're wrong" and they're "right."

Get a fucking life you pathetic losers.  You're all the reason I don't bother making fan art much anymore.

So I've decided to stop getting sucked into pointless fanboy arguments.  From now on I'm going to ignore obvious fanboy bait.  Hell, I might just start ignoring trolls too.  I get too caught up in bullshit like that and it makes me not want draw anything.

Thoughts and comments below.  Do you get suckered into arguments easily?  Do you ignore the idiots?  Let me know if I'm being unreasonable or not.

Peace and METAL!!!!!!
