Dear donors,
I'd like to ask why you are so judgmental and intolerant. What? You're not? Oh, I'm sorry. I should have specified that I was referring to a singular "you" and am not talking about each and every donor, just one. Why do I say this? That donor rated me today. I had always wanted to be rated. The problem is that this donor gave me zero stars. Even that wasn't too disappointing. I know I'm know humor wizard, that I'm relatively unremarkable and insignificant here, so a low rating doesn't surprise me...but I'll mention that later.
I was rated zero stars because I like pornography - the user, that is. Fear not, Jack Chick has not come to Stripcreator. I confess that none of my statements supporting him have been sarcastic. My friends and I find many of his comics hilarious, and we've had some nice little chats via PM. However, I know how most people feel about him and his comics. I expected some hostility for defending him and expressing my view that he is funny, but this one donor has gone overboard.
Please, boinky and others, do not waste your time trying to remind me of pornography's past behavior. Like I said, I am very aware of this. I, however, care not of his past. I've done some pretty terrible things in the past and wouldn't appreciate others dwelling on it. You don't have to be a Christian (though I am) to appreciate the whole "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" quote.
"That's great," you're probably saying, "but his comics still suck." Maybe you think that, and you're perfectly entitled to do so. But please realize, or pat yourself on the back for realizing, that there are different forms of humor. The abstract humor of pornography may not appeal to you, but that does not mean it does not appeal to anyone. I, for one, appreciate both the off-the-wall humor of people like pornography just as much as the refined humor of donors like kaufman. Whatever makes me laugh works.
I'm not mad, I just think it's fucked up that someone would judge me on something so trivial rather than my comics themselves. And I know I haven't been trolling and flaming people. I'm hardly even on the forums except to post for the occasional contest.
While I have your attention, (and I must say, a thousand thanks to you for reading this far, it is greatly appreciated) I have a small favor to ask of the rest of you. The next rainy day when you have nothing to do, perhaps you could take a look at some of my comics. Maybe you will read them and hate them, and rate me zero stars. That I can't argue with. (Although I don't think they're that bad. Maybe one or two.)
I would appreciate it if whoever did this would admit to it. I'd stick up for what I did if someone was whining like this about something I did, and I hope whoever rated me has at least that small amount of courage. For the rest of you, feedback would be nice. Am I overreacting? (Probably.) Was the donor in the right? Am I in the right? ...and so on.
Once again, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your reading all this junk of mine. Give yourself a pat on the back, a big hug, or a firm handshake - your choice - and consider it from me. Let me just also say to TheGovernor, Scyess, kaufman, ivytheplant, attitudechicka, and Spankling (not in any specific order) an additional thanks. Your comics rock my world, and the four of you I've actually talked to are really nice guys and girls too.
Yours in Stripping,
