I like how you get on somebody’s case because they have a meltdown when I’m about 99% positive that everyone on the internet has one time posted something that they regretted immediately. We’re human beings. Sorry you disagree with each other?
“ i find it ironic that he says he’d love to me someone that isnt ultra-sensitive but he threw a several paragraph long tantrum on e621 of all fucking places because some rando said his animations suck “
Do you actually find it ironic? Because all I’m seeing is a person getting fed up with receiving nasty criticisms about the work they’ve been doing for the past 5-something years now. In the furry fandom, popularity brings 2 things. An influx of people willing to pay for your content (hooray) and hate (boo how dare you be successful).
While I disagree with Jasonafex’s trans comments, his rant directed at the e621 userbase and at the criticism he’s receiving is pretty understandable once you include the fact THAT WE’RE FUCKING PEOPLE. Sorry you can’t throw nonconstructive criticism at him and get back no response. He’s not a fucking hamster. He’s another human being who has feelings and takes pride in the work that he does. You probably wouldn’t appreciate it if someone you’d never met walked up and told you your most recent project was a pile of shit.
Maybe you’re caring too much about a popular individual’s lot in life when you should focus on solving your own dilemmas and taking pride in your successes?
Additionally! Hey guys. I’m sorry if you have traumas you’re dealing with. I sympathize. Unfortunately life is not fair. It is your responsibility as a person to take control of any sort of mess you’re dealt and come to terms with it in order to lead a happy life. We all have shit to deal with. Every single one of us. My life is not somehow less important in the grand scheme of things than your life because you get dealt your pile of shit first. You don’t get to unload all your woes on another person because they “SEEM” happy right now. They could be even more bogged down than you, but they’re coping. You got emotional issues and anxiety? Seek help and support. DO NOT unload your problems on someone who only appears happy. That person might have been raped 2 years ago and is still seeking therapy and counseling to help them cope with the trauma. You been in an abusive relationship? My heart goes out to you, but that person you’re venting at might have just gone through a nasty divorce, lost the house, custody of their children, and got fired because their productivity was lacking for 3 weeks straight. Life is a poker game, and everyone of us has been dealt a handful of shit with a few precious glimmers of positivity. It is on YOU and you alone to make yourself happy.
Now I’m sure you thinking, oh will this is a privileged white guy telling me how to live my life I’ll just discredit him. Fuck you I’m a gay white guy living in the bible belt. I’ve fortunately been dealt the hand of semi-understanding parents and friends who don’t judge me for my sexuality. However everyone I work with is a gun-toting hyper republican “American Fuck yeah” Yahoo that I can’t even remotely begin to discuss my personal life with. I’ve never been able to have a relationship with another person either! I’m horrible stressed at the concept of sharing my life in it’s entirety with another person. The very concept of me having a boyfriend still feels weird because I was raised on Heterosexual ideals! I have to slog through a day-to-day which consists of not knowing if I’ll be fired because it’s been revealed I’m gay. I could very well be a virgin until well into my 40s because of where I live and my introverted personality. So fuck you if you think me being White and a Man somehow sums me up in a single discreditable nutshell.
Now shut the fuck up and improve yourself! I don’t care if you have anxiety attacks at the very concept of self-improvement! THAT’S SOMETHING TO FUCKING IMPROVE RIGHT THERE!!!! If you’re angry at the world for some “oppression” you’ve perceived in it work that anger into productivity and make something out of it. IMPROVE YOUR SURROUNDINGS! Simmering in a room by yourself Does Absolutely Fucking Nothing to improve your mental state. Go outside. Ride a Bike. Meet new People. Read a fucking book in a public space and just ENJOY THE PASSIVE HUMAN EXPERIENCE!!! I do not care what you do to help yourself through the traumas of life. I only care that you are making strides in the right direction. Negatively plastering someone on the internet is literally just echo-chambering yourself into the mindset of “This person is worse than me, therefore I’m fine and the world is what needs to change”. You’re one person. You can’t change the world by yourself. You need help. Support. Love. Encouragement. Sorry I’m slapping you with realism here, but fuck it. I’m so god damned sick of hearing every fucking day that Somebody got raped, and that the middle east is exploding, and north korea is still insane, and omfg I don’t care about Kim Kardashian’s butt. HOLY SHIT I DO NOT CARE I JUST WANNA BE A MODERATELY HAPPY PERSON WITH A JOB AND MAYBE I’LL GET A BOYFRIEND SOME DAY AND MAN THAT’D BE FUCKING AWESOME.
Shut
The
Fuck
Up
And
Help
Yourself
If you are struggling with life. Go seek help.
If you are struggling with relationships. Go seek help.
If you are STRUGGLING WITH FUCKING ANYTHING. WHY AREN’T YOU GETTING THE HELP THAT YOU NEED AND DESERVE?!
If your fucking answer is “I need money to do that” THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO WORK AT MCDONALDS THEY WILL LITERALLY HIRE ANYONE, YOU WILL GAIN VALUABLE WORK EXPERIENCE, AND IT WILL SLOWLY SOLVE YOUR MONEY PROBLEM.
If your response to that has anything to do with Minimum wages not being high enough. I’m sorry you live in California or any large city anywhere. Stop doing that. Yes that sounds harsh. No I don’t care. Move your ass to the country-side and bask in the glory of apartments that don’t cost an arm and a leg to rent.
You will not become the next Bill Gates. People like that got so many lucky breaks and just so happened to dive into the right fields at the right time to make it huge. You need to learn to be happy with what you can reasonably aspire towards.
This wasn’t intended to be a rant. But I don’t care. Tumblr isn’t the center of my life and if anyone who reads this can’t understand that the master of your fate is yourself, then that’s the first thing you need to work towards understanding.
Here’s some phone numbers for self-help hotlines in case you need it.
