Over time, this place has become my sporadic, and very random blog 'thing'. I'm too much of a personal person to post about everything that happens in my real life, but my internet life is all here for you to check out. Let the randomness ensue.
Other Sites You'll Find Me:Tumblr, Minitokyo, DeviantART, LiveJournal (I don't visit this much), Blogspot (I visit this even less), Twitter (I joined this site over a year ago because of my infatuation with Tom Felton) Since my absence, Tom Hiddleston has become my life-ruiner. Don't understand it? Just research him and it'll happen to you too. That man is a Disney Prince, brought to life.
I got really, really tired of people ignoring a funny video and focusing on crap, and commented in a somewhat jerkish way, even though I knew I shouldn't. From that it went from insulting, to taunting... to complimenting? And then apologizes? It's like the disagreement was the epitome of a chick-flick.
Person 1. "Just so you know, it's actually like th--" Person 2. "I hate you!" Person 1. "You suck too, but for the sake of the audience..." Person 2. "Let's stop this pesky argument and become BFF's 4-lyfe, bro." Person 1. "Fo' shizzle."
Despite the fact that everyone else seems to like it, I must admit:
I really don't care about Vocaloids.
I tried, there are afew songs that I admit I enjoy, but sincerely - if Vocaloids vanished tomorrow, I wouldn't really care. Though, it tends to make me feel left out whenever I see people post submissions with them in there (which is like, every second)
On a lighter note, someone called me a bitch on YouTube. ; w;
[startquote]@SolenmSerpent well relaly it dosent mayyer how you spell thinjs on youtube because its a comment on fucking youtube and no body gives a flying fuck you pompous little twit go suck your teachers dick and make a few friends:) and that sir is how we rage p.s its solemn not solenm bitch [/endquote]
Meaning, it doesn't count. And spell-check is the bitch here. And anyone catch the irony in that insult above?
It is strange that I enjoy reading people brash insults towards me on YouTube?
And shamefully, I must admit, that I really for once I'd love to come across someone who can insult me properly. I mean, I would love to come across someone who can make me go, "Well damn. That was creative!" Knowing myself, I would congratulate and thank them first, before facepalming a few times at the fact that I'm losing an IQ point every time I comment on YouTube. /laughs
It's happened to most of us; we post something that we deem 'creative' or 'artistic' over the internet, and like a moth drawn to a fire, there’s one person who feels the need to say something particularly nasty and unnecessary.
For me, the bulk of injustice and idiocy has been done to me on YouTube (based on most of the replies I get, I’ve no choice but to assume that 80% of YouTube’s users are noisy 12-year olds with nothing better to do with their time). After so many poor comments were given to me, I realized that there was a particular way to handle rude comments on any site.
Rude Reply: Delete the comment, block the user. Effective, simple, and cutthroat; this is the simplest and best choice if you get a small pathetic comment like, “this sucks” or “your stupid, get off of [random site name]”. These people, who merely wish to create a spectacle with their childish actions, should not be regarded with seriousness. Replying will only waste your time.
Discrimination: Once in a while, you’ll receive a sexist, racist, ethnocentric, or any other type of discriminatory comment. You'll feel the need to reply harshly, stating that the person is wrong, and supply them with a reason as to why they are wrong. This is pointless. When a person wholeheartedly believes something enough to where they feel the need to post about, on your submission---the only person that can change their perspective is themselves.
It’s happened to me before; I was on YouTube, and someone made a horribly sexist comment. Because I’ve always felt sensitive about gender discrimination, I made the mistake of replying back to them with my explanation of why they were wrong and examples. The argument lasted for the longest, and in the end, the user’s perspective hadn’t change in the slightest and I was left with pure anger at their explanations as to why 'women were weak, and needed to be subservient to their male halves'. The argument had been pointless, and now that I look back at it, I wish that I had ignored his comment and moved on.
So in the end, either leave the comment be, or delete it as suggested above.
Debate, explanation: Let’s say you post something 'Naruto' related, or anime related in general. Every once in a while, a person comes along who does not understand and/or appreciate anime like you do. Their comment is riddled with ignorance, mainly because they have not looked into anime as much as you have.
"Why'd you have to post anime? Can’t you be more original, like post something about movies, literature---something actually deep?"
This is the type of comment you can reply to; they’ve asked a question, challenged your interest in anime (or any other area of art) and it's perfectly alright to engage in a brief discussion about something you feel strongly about. However, this type of comment does not merit a rude reply. They may have offended you, but being unruly will eliminate any chance you have to deeply explain and (like an adult) disagree with their comment. When you do reply, spell everything correctly and be quick and to the point.
Important Note: Learn to identify criticism from insults. I've seen it many times, where a user will simply state that they didn’t like something about your submission, and they point it out, while giving an idea to the creator. Now, taking criticism is never easy, especially when you think the piece of art/literature/other is perfect the way it is. (In actuality, there's always room for improvement!)
However, you have to take into account that people will always have varying opinions and there's nothing you can do about it. When a person offers their own criticism, don't reply rudely back to them. You can however, disagree with their statement, but thank them for their input.
"I appreciate your feedback on my art and your suggestion, however, I think the area that you pointed out does not need any further improvement."
If you read nothing else: If you ignore this entire article, and simply reply to any and all rude comment you receive, keep one thing in mind---spell-check. It may not sound important at times, but it can be the difference of something actually taking you seriously (not thinking you’re a lonely kindergartner at home, with nothing better to do), or not. People, who post comments just to get on your nerves, will occasionally try to find weaknesses in your response and exploit them. It's a trap, but a well used one.
