First off, I was able to have a productive and good Birthday the past weekend, even got free stuff at a local weed shop because of their birthday special.
Second off there is something that needs to be addressed here. Just recently I stumbled upon an article I will not link for the protection of the user making it. This was one of many complaints where users have their work get zero-voted or zero-bombed as they say here. Now whether or not one's work deserves a Zero is a different story, everyone has their tastes and everyone has their dislikes, so a zero is inevitable and I don't see it as a big deal myself because, just because one or two assholes don't like my work, doesn't mean the rest of the world hates it or me. That said, I am well aware there are trolls out there that do that either because they have a personal grudge or because they think it's a good way to get a cheap laugh. I've experienced it myself, but I pay them no mind at best and tell them how pathetically lifeless they are at worse.
Now, I know people are frustrated about this, but I hate to say this, but you fucked up big time why? Because you talked about it. That's right. To better spell it out for you:
THIS IS ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT!!!
As someone whom as a kid, that's been bullied and has even bullied others in the past, let me let you in on a secret. Bullies thrive on attention. It's not so much that they have to hurt you, but they have do it in front of everyone, to increase what they believe is their rep as a bully. When people complain about what they do, that just encourages them to do it again. So when people are going around complaining and venting, (justifiably so, but still...), they may as well go to the hardware store, buy a can of Red and White paint and put a target on your backs. While I do sympathize I really do, that lesson should have been hammered to you all since day one.
Now if this were real life outside, the situation would be simple. Either ignore them, tell them to fuck off or if need be punch them in the fucking mouth. But since these are net people, who could either be near your residence or halfway across the fucking world for all you know, it's not that simple. You know what is simple? Let me spell it out for you:
FUCKING IGNORE THEM THEY DON'T MATTER TO YOU!! YOU MATTER TO YOU!!
It's that self-centered insecure bullshit I cannot stand, mainly because I've been through it myself and it pisses me off that this is still happening to others. You can't please everyone with the stuff you make. Your audience comes to you. Not the other way around. There are always gonna be trolls, hecklers, pranksters, cyberbullies, bullies and other filth all over the world and the net, that cannot comprehend people having a good time or making good work without their input. You should not give a flying fuck what they think because they are pathetic, mentally castrated, lifeless losers, whom for some reason or another feel the world owes them one. I should know, I used to think that way myself.
However while I struggle endlessly, to try to be good and do right by myself, my family, my friends and my fans, I'm at least trying and have succeeded for the most part. So if some asshole has a problem with my work, or me as a person, either they come face me themselves and talk to me in a polite civil way or barring that, they can fuck off and jump off the highest building for all I care. Which is why I'm putting this as a Frontpage article. Too many insecure people need some tough love. They need to thicken their skin, strengthen their muscles and discipline their mind.
And to those Zero Bombers and all the other bad elements out there, you literally have nothing better to do than attack people a site that's comprised mostly of teenagers and young adults? Either you're a pedophile or just some waste of space and air that wore out your welcome before you were even sperm in your dad's pants. I've met people like you before, you're nothing but cowards and if you even had the slightest amount of guts to face me in person, you wouldn't last long in a fight against me. So be lucky I don't know who each and everyone of you are in person. Leave these people alone and use your bullshit trolling for something constructive. It's 2023, you could literally make money shit talking people and instead you waste money shit talking people. Which I'm perfectly sure satisfies the child you have locked in your basement, you creeps.
To those sick of them, just keep up your work and ignore the fuck out of them, it's better for your health.

Hey man, I think you make a very valid point here, but you're undermining yourself. The immediate eye catcher, of course, is the first sentence in a heading font, all caps, multiple exclamation marks and a direct attack at the reader - the signature of a Karen. Now I don't know you well enough to say for sure, but I'm betting that's not the impression you're trying to make, especially with a pretty damn decent message like this one. It's neither here nor there to me what you do with this feedback, but I thought I'd just put it out here. Cheers, D.

Actually no. If you conclude that the way I wrote this is the definition of a Karen, then I'm sorry to say you missed the point. I directly attack all readers for different reasons. I attack those complaining, because that's all they do is complain, they don't take action. As well as the fact that simply complaining about it, is just gonna encourage those to try harder. I've seen this happen many times and too many people, are either too scared or too stupid to do nothing but complain. That said, I call them out, out of tough love. Not outright hatred, because I honestly think they are much better than they actually are, but are too wound up in their insecurities to realize it. If I have to piss them off to get them to fight back I will.
I attack the Zero Bombers, because honestly I'm sick of their shit too. Too many people get hurt all because some assholes attacking other users for some sick sadistic amusement.
Also third. I've noticed recently be it for justified reasons or not, whenever I call someone out on here, they seem to gravitate towards going after me and not the usual people they attack. So in a way I'm basically taking the bullet of hundreds of people here.
