I've been having a busy month. In fact it's been so busy that I haven't really found the time to draw, plus with the advent of Wrath of the Lich King, I've made a Death Knight. Kicks ass, but not as much ass as my paladin. A special note of apology to Celsoryuji, thanks for your patience, but I'll have to delay the payment for a second figurine again for after Christmas

Anyway that's not what I'm on about today. It's about the state of the KP fandom. I've been reminiscing back 2 years ago where KP had still be airing and I've met some great people who drew really great KP art. Goofmore, Lionheartcartoon, 14-Bis, SFToon and others to name a few. Sadly those days have passed and most have left due to the intimidation and bullying of the fanbase.

I'll say it. The KP fandom consists of egocentric retards who somehow can't comprehend the world around them except for their own skewed and twisted views. It's becoming slowly more and more derogatory to be referred to as a KP fan because it would mean that I am in some way associated with these people.

Who are these people? They are the people who have difficulty separating what's real from fiction and have developed an unhealthy emotional attachment to the cartoon.
They are the people who insist that a certain pairing should not be done for the sake of 'canon'.
They are the freakishly weird people who constantly self-insert themselves into their drawings, but unlike Lionheartcartoon, they constantly roleplay as if they exist, unable to break out of character to engage in a normal conversation.
They are the people who think real life subjects apply to a fictional cartoon.

I have never seen a particular cartoon attract such a huge number of raging social outcasts, who have nothing better to do than to selfishly argue about how the fandom should be doing things their way instead of actively engaging in a way to make the KP fan genre more interesting. I've been getting a horrendous amount of reports against my KP art. Even benign ones like the LBD pics and the Hooters pics are not spared the reports. I have a fairly good idea who these people are, so I decided to sit back and see if they have anything better to contribute to the KP fanart scene. What do we see in the DA search for KP?

Traced art, shitty self insertion art, stolen art, recolors, more shitty tracing, flat out pornography, copy/paste and the list goes on. If I draw a picture of KP in a sexy LBD dress, it gets reported for deletion on grounds of child porn, in contrast to the many other of pics of her in the DA search getting beaten up, bloodied and killed does not get deleted on the same grounds for encouraging child abuse.

The trend I'm seeing is that these people are the ones who have joined the fanbase very late into the show's airing, which is around the 4th season, where I've noticed the increased amount of immaturity slowly infect the forums and community.

I usually refrain from voicing my 'opinion' about how certain people do their fan art, but I think it's only fair that I retort mine after these individuals have so adamantly forced theirs down my throat and reported on my pics as well:


#1. Tracing is not a show of how well you can draw. Trace if you want practice, but don't post your tracing up on DA like it's some sort of achievement. It's like a kid with Down's Syndrome showing that he can copy a sentence off a book. and.... now I've insulted Down's Syndrome kids. Great.

#2. Stop getting emotionally attached to fictional characters. It's unhealthy. Realize that fictional characters are idealized and caricatured versions of people in real life and that there will NEVER realistically be men/women with the same specific personality/body proportions. Ever.

#3. Your shitty self-insertions SUCK. I just can't put it lightly or in any other way. You self insertions just SUCK.
I can understand some self insertions for fun, but when you decide that all other pairing is unrealistic compared to yours, you're an idiot. Nothing is more retarded than saying "I don't support Kigo because it'll never happen, but hey lets do me/fictional character pairing instead".
Well I've got news for you: A you/fictional character pairing will be even LESS LIKELY. Retarded logic ftw.

That's my venting for the night.

KP community = Jackasses
