i like how everyone harassing you or calling you a bad person are conveniently ignoring the fact that you posted that on PRIVATE in relation to your PERSONAL TRAUMA and are basically tunnel visioning in on what's in front of them: two of their favorite fictional characters in an awful scenario that they Simply Cannot Agree with. to a very terrifyingly hostile degree. in fact you are self aware and completely understand the nuances of your own depiction of the two characters, to the point you are—to a degree—careful with what you say or draw about them in public. this is crazy, it is crazy that people can acknowledge and also wholeheartedly believe that it's harmful to view those two characters in morally unethical situations, much less depict them as such, yet lack the comprehension to connect that back to you, a real person, and are concerningly incapable of displaying that same level of understanding unto you—as in, they're incapable of understanding you had genuinely, for a lack of a better word, suffered as how you had depicted in your art.
Worst part is, even with all that being said. worst part is that this had been private, personal, and serious. and people treat the leaking of the art as karmic retribution, or destiny, or a gotcha. like you're just some product that got revealed there was a "secret chemical" inside. the lack of empathy people had shown when you were exposed like this is a clear statement of where their real care and concern lies. always a supporter of mental illness or the such until it's not palatable. not even a sorry to go with their so-called tearful surprise and their determination to leave you.
Sorry your personal vent art got leaked from your private account.

Yeah, I think this sums up how I feel about all this. Ive been more agitated about that piece being displayed so openly with so many people looking at it and making their own judgments because it was way too personal and too many assumptions including those of disgusting nature were made based on an experience that strangers shouldve never known about. I dont even blame people for initially thinking that way, it does look bad. Very bad. Theres a reason why I hid this from public view. I have stopped begging for empathy a long time ago so it's not something I expect from others anymore, much less from strangers who dont know about me or my life, so I dont seek it at all especially not when it's about something weirdly personal like this, because this isnt something I wanted to let anybody see aside from the very few people I trusted. I dont know, everything feels weird right now. I think I reached breaking point so forgive me for sounding emotional. But anyway Im sorry, I didnt mean to ramble like this on your message, I probably sound incoherent and repetitive so I'll stop here. Thank you a lot for writing this out. Im glad theres still a bit of rationality left in people.
