What was that rape-comic thing about? Did you delete the asks containing actual snarky bits? Because all that's left is just you pointing some facts out as an answer to what appears to be a follow up ask. I'm asking because I don't see why one would argue about and rationalize the context of their (or other peoples) art to absolve it. Or in other words, I don't see anything inherently wrong with drawing comics depicting actual rape and why the author would need to justify themselves.
It saddens me that if you search PurpleKecleon in Google you get PK abuse and PK drama come up instead of PK Floraverse or PK art :(
well i guess we should talk about pk floraverse and pk art more then
im not bent on demonizing pk, ive been avidly supporting them since the pengo callout and ive lost so many friends over it and this time i really tried to be supportive again because i look up to them (and you. and marl) but i cant fucking do it. theres too much. seriously ive spent the past several days crying and agonizing over this and you think im just targeting pk because idk why not. fuck you.
oh noo i meant the people who started singling out mel’s comics in the first place
i am sorry anon, that was pretty clumsy of me
i appreciate the support, and that you actually came to ask. we are alright, take care of yourself first and foremost ♥
i'm not sure what you and pk did that got you labelled both as "tumblr sjw incarnate" and "hitler irl" at the same time by two completely opposed internet groups, but i'm unironically very proud of you and you should keep doing it forever because you're clearly doing something right. also your cats are adorable and you should never stop drawing
aww bless you
this is the best anon ask i have ever received, i should print it out and frame it
here i drew you some fanart

ok but what about the rape in forflor (mismatched) and pmd-e (merlot and shroomsworth)
well i didn’t actually draw either of those, but as i recall alice outright asked for confirmation and merlot is psychic
“oh deary me this isn’t what i had in mind at all but i not-so-secretly like it” is a super common porn trope so i don’t know why people started picking on mel for it specifically
edit: this got a little too snarky and hurt the wrong person, my bad
Eevee, how's Pearl doing?
better! i think we’re waiting on lab results to find out exactly what’s up but i guess generic meds are helping? i don’t entirely know what’s going on, my waking hours are not overlapping with everyone else’s very much atm
Is there anything at all we can do to help you and your family out, Eevee? :(
ah, not really, haha.
the problem with mob justice is that no one wants to push back against it and risk becoming the next target — as you can see, you don’t have to actually do anything wrong to get people to come after you
maybe just keep all this in mind next time you hear a juicy tidbit about someone you don’t already know
Jeeze, people keep saying really awful stuff to that girl who was saying stuff about Marl and like- yeah, what she's been doing is super abhorrent but i still wish i could tell some of the people messaging her 'hey telling a 14 year old to kill herself is maybe not gonna make you look like the good guy' and goodness knows people are gonna act like you, pk, and marl condone that noise
jesus christ what
does no one know any way of interaction that is not playground bullying
knock it the fuck off you are not winning any social points with that
eevee why are so many people determined to try to destroy you and your partners' lives b/c this is getting ridiculous
lmao i have absolutely no idea.
maybe there’s a cycle here, like:
- people hear some juicy gossip and spread it
- it turns out to be false so the people who spread it now feel foolish
- those people feel resentful towards the original target for “causing” them to feel foolish
- so when some new juicy gossip comes along they are even more invested in believing it, because if the target turns out to be Bad for different reasons, it would tenuously justify contributing to the previous mob
rinse and repeat, ad nauseum
I really don't get how people can take the new "callout" thing seriously, like it starts by this kid admitting, that it did wrong, it says it got on an ADULT chat even though they are no adult and complain about getting exposed to adult stuff. that's like typing "porn" in google and complaining that porn comes up. also how they say pk hates autistics and is ableist even though pk has written how they strongly suspect being autistic themselves before. also "sociopath" is not an ableist term(co
(cont.) “sociopath” is an actual disorder and comparing one disorder to another is not ableist at all, bc it’ a fact that mental disorders are comorbid as hell and tend to have similiar symptoms. How am I supposed to take the rest siriously when the first paragraph is already full of bullshit? so yeah, sorry you have to deal with such shit on a regular basis, hope it dies down quickly
she wasn’t even fucking comparing autism and sociopathy, it was a segue because she’d been reading about various mental illnesses in a book about psychology
“here is some interesting stuff about autism” “also here is some interesting stuff about sociopaths”
like jesus fucking christ did anyone even read the log it DISPROVES THE THING THAT SOME IDIOT WROTE BELOW IT i am going to blow up the entire world
also tbh i am not sure on the current status of “sociopath”; i’ve heard it may have been rolled into another disorder or something
well i got the mmr vaccine and i have autism. #CONFIRMED
i ate a tuna fish sandwich once and now i have ADD
can we not demonize fandoms over one irrational person :[ i love artists and patreon
ha ha, “one”
i don’t really want to spread further negativity but suffice to say it gets so, so much worse
Jsyk, for the two most recent species updates there's a problem on mobile where the artwork for them is underneath the right hand of the character holding the screen and I can only see the top left of each picture :(. Looking at the comments for the most recent update (friday the 24th) few other people have had the same problem
i assume by “mobile” you mean “iphone/ipad” :)
in which case the best i can do is guess wildly :( is it better now?
seeing as u seem to relate to eevee so much does that make you veekin?
No
how great are you?? nah just wanted to tell you, that the enogoat species animation doesn't work rn, it just says "kaboom" loading failed :(" the newest one with median works fine, though
oops! sorry about that, fixed it
no i just edited it out since it was pointless
there was a sentence speculating on the motivations of the people who tacked the comics onto the list of sins, and it was kind of aggressive and not clear that i wasn’t including the anon in that category, so whoops
