a pathological fear of being seen/watched/drawing attention to yourself in any way, and the judgement/ridicule you feel is attached to it
know what scopophobia ISN’T?
a fear of eyes.
know what you should be tagging with #scopophobia?
probably nothing. no static 2-dimensional image on the internet could even come close to evoking the kind of anxiety that comes with being around real live people looking at you and watching you and paying attention to you in a real live public setting. unless its a text post or video that discusses at length someone’s actual experiences dealing with scopophobia that could be uncomfortable or triggering to others who share the condition, i SERIOUSLY DOUBT you’ll find a situation where tagging it is appropriate.
know what you SHOULDN’T be tagging with #scopophobia?
basically everything that you’re tagging with scopophobia
if you feel deeply unsettled seeing images of eyeballs, or a photo of a person looking at the camera, or anything of that sort, you probably have something entirely different instead of/in addition to scopophobia, such as ommetaphobia (fear of eyes).
this probably sounds a lot angrier than i intended but i am getting really goddamn tired of people mistakenly tagging selfies with scopophobia without even bothering to find out what it actually is? it just feels kind of trivializing to those of us who cant actually function like humans in public without having panic attacks because we feel like the whole world is scrutinizing our every word and action
Things that this person has done that is NOT OKAY:
They have removed my signature from the hands drawing - effectively denying any ownership I have on the drawing
They have also covered my signature on the drawing of the boys, using the One Direction logo
They have added their own signature thereby claiming ownership of the artworks
They have not asked my permission or notified me in any way shape or form - I had to find out from one of my artist friends that my artwork was being plagiarized and defaced. If the artist has not given you permission to publish/use/alter their art in any way then DON’T DO IT.
If the above wasn’t bad enough, They have digitally manipulated my art - The whole idea of the drawing of the boys is that it was how their present selves would look like in that pose from this 2012 photoshoot. This person has switched Louis and Niall’s heads for their own personal preference so it doesn’t have the same meaning anymore!! THIS PERSON HAS BASICALLY INSULTED ME BY DOING THIS. Was my art - which this person STOLE - not good enough for their liking?? Was the concept not strong enough?? If the answers to those questions were yes, then why didn’t this person just CREATE THEIR OWN ART.
They have submitted this into a competition - Besides the fact that this person has stolen, defaced and plagiarized my art, by submitting this into a competition - they have disrespected their fellow competitors who have actually put their time and effort into creating original covers.
I just don’t understand the level of disrespect and entitlement that some people have toward creative content on the internet. Sure I have posted it on a medium where EVERYONE can access, but it does not give someone the right to claim this art as their own or to alter it in any way.
I am making art and posting it for y’all because I want to share it to those who will appreciate it. If you want art that you have creative and intellectual ownership over, then MAKE IT YOURSELF.
I am doing this of my own free will and it is not my job to post art for your enjoyment. If you want art that panders to your own tastes then MAKE IT YOURSELF. Don’t claim things that are yours and don’t change someone else’s art to suit your own preferences. Is this not common sense???
Anyway, if you guys have a minute, could you please go to »this link« and report the image and/or let people know that the poster has plagiarized my art in the comment section.
I’m sure that if this gets picked out, then the competition organizers would do a background check, but if you could help me get it taken down I would be very thankful x
No, this is not “Can I touch your butt” in Elvish. This is “Can I touch your butt?” in English, transcribed using the letters of the Elvish alphabet. There is a difference.
In Elvish, the letters of the alphabet correspond to sounds, not to words. The above text spells it out using one symbol to represent one letter of the original English, which is incorrect:
c-a-n i t-o-u-c-h y-o-u-r b-u-t-t
If you really want to spell out an English phrase using the Elvish alphabet, you would do so phonetically, which would basically equate to one symbol per phoneme (sound):
c-a-n a-i t-u-ch y-o-r b-u-t
If you actually wanted to write “Can I touch your butt?” in Elvish, one (very rough) translation would be:
Annog nin daf pladan tele ci?
Which, in Sindarin Elvish, roughly translates to, “Would you give me permission to touch your rear?”
Written in tengwar (the Elvish alphabet), it would look like this:
Sorry for the blurry quality.
damn, the lotr fandom doesnt fuck around
wow
not to mention LOOK HOW POLITE THIS WAS
LIKE GOOD LORD
OLDEST FANDOMS REALLY ARE POLITEST
Proud of my fellow lotr members.
YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO ASK TO TOUCH ONES BUT IN ELVISH PROPERLY PEOPLE
ppl who seriously believe every guy who watched MLP must be sexualizing the ponies make me extremely angery.
Accurate comic is killin it.
Pretty much
this comic literally makes no sense. also the fact that op made the women’s justifiable anger a fucking exaggeration is disgusting.
the brony fandom is made up of middle-aged dudes who sexualize a show made for young girls and literally took it away from them and stomped it to pieces. now i’m not saying that every brony is like that, however, what i’m saying is that it’s not a girl’s fault if she’s wary of you if you call yourself a brony because fucking face it; the majority of bronies is made up of these assholes who constantly demean women and make rape jokes. does a brony have to deal with those kinda things? no, no they fucking don’t. don’t you dare try to deny this because they don’t. also guess what, women get a lot of shit for liking “traditionally” male things such as comic books and have to deal with all this “fake geek girl” nonsense among numerous other offensive things. honestly, how the fuck are you comparing a male’s hurt feelings to an entire culture of women being denied anything they remotely like ever? grow the fuck up.
tl;dr: bronies who actually are nice and respectful are hard to come by therefore it is not a woman’s fault if she is wary around one. stop fucking complaining and instead of trying to shame a woman for something she is justifiably angry for, fucking do something about it so that women don’t have to do that anymore.
now i’m not saying that every brony is like that
No, that’s exactly what you’re saying.
Look, I don’t pretend to know you or what you’ve been through: maybe you hopped on the hate and bullying disguised as “feminist” that this website loves to spread…it really doesn’t matter because right now? you’re embarrassing yourself: you’re embarrassing yourself acting like the faux-feminists who overrun this website.
The Brony community hasn’t “stolen” anything: the show was re-imagined by Lauren Faust who intended it for EVERYONE: for children, adults and parents of said-children, animation fans…everyone. She disagreed with the hateful man-hating fake-feminists that you’ve clearly shown yourself to be. She literally went out of her way to make a whole episode on Powerpuff Girls where a female supervillain convinced the girls that women aren’t aren’t anywhere near as respected as men and thus, the ‘right’ answer, was to let her go rampaging across the city. They proceeded to lash out at virtually every man they came across, bullying the boys at school and getting mad at the Professor for simply telling them to clean their rooms, but were persuaded when they were reminded that there is indeed injustice in the world: it’s there duty to protect the safety of *everyone*.
What happened? She was harassed by people with attitudes like yourself and now regrets ever writing it.
You want to go even further in history? Bonnie, the woman who started it all and created My Little Pony in the 1980’s, commented that she intended for the show to be both for boys *and* girls.
The Brony community is not made up of middle-aged out-of-control monstrous horndogs who have stolen one more precious thing from women. If anything, the community is mostly made up of college-age kids who, like this comic portrays, simply enjoy the show for being the well-written, positive and sophisticated show that it is.
Thousands and thousands of dollars have been put into charity groups such as “BronyForGood”. Radio-shows like “Stay Brony My Friend” by DustyKat and Screwball regularly have guests where money is donated to a cause in virtually every single episode. Donating to charity is something that’s done in virtually every single Brony convention.
But what about that so-called sexual content you brought up?
Honey, I don’t pretend to have know every NSFW artist/writer/whatever out there, but from my experience? The vast majority of NSFW artists are teenage girls. I don’t have any statistics right next to me, but this is what I have seen in the 3 years I’ve been in this fandom: the majority of NSFW art is done by girls, whereas NSFW fan-fiction is mostly done by men.
And really? Who cares?
What sort of point were you trying to make there in the first place? There’s porn out of EVERYTHING, and there always will be. If it’s because you are worried about what your child sees, then put up safe-search, put up filters, and watch what they do. Don’t stomp your foot and demand that the world censors and changes itself to your liking, because it’s just not going to happen.
Oh, was your point because MLP having a male fan-base just another sign that Men are these monstrous horndogs overtaking everything?
Well, since you had your bit: let me tell you the kind of media that *I* grew up watching. Media with guys who look like this:
Or this:
Media with these super big macho men that, I don’t know where you’ve been? But I’ve never EVER seen any guys who actually look like that.
Frankly, I’ve been lucky, because I DO know lots of guys who had to live with this: live with this stigma that this is the sort of “man” you had to grow up to be. This macho-man caricature that you’re putting out where a Man has to slave for his whole life, pay for everything a woman wants, get married, have children, drink beer, and be this impossible fantasy that you’re putting out right now.
Where I haven’t been so lucky? Being teased and bullied because, while I did enjoy ‘manly’ shows (and certainly enjoy Marvel/DC), I also happened to like shows like these:
These were the kinds of shows that I grew up watching and completely adored. Why? Honestly, for the same reason I enjoy MLP: they were funny, well-written, positive and uplifting shows with great characters (and Jerry from Totally Spies was awesome. Just saying.)
And I was ridiculed for it and had to hide it away and force myself to watch other stuff, especially when other people were in the house. I babysat my cousin while she would watch her “girly” shows and when she’d get bored and go away, I’d turn down the volume and quietly continued to watch on my own.
Teasing however, as bad as it was, was all that I got: other people like Michael Morones got so much *much* worse. When kids are tormented because of a backpack they bring to school, teased to the point of nearly ending their lives, it spits in the face of everything you are saying.
I’m not saying all this to evangelize the Brony community: I’m by no means the absolute biggest fan, nor ever was — the fandom undoubtedly has it’s own share of problems, as does every other. However, what I will absolutely not stand for is the sort of biased and uniformed hate that you are bringing out. I don’t pretend to know you or what you’ve been through, but it’s unbelieveably one-sided and not at all helping women or genuine feminism: because Feminism isn’t bashing on guys just-because. It’s equality for EVERYONE. It’s, once more, similar to the Powerpuff Girls episode: because the girls tried to counter by saying that “girls have to look out for eachother”, but then *other women* stepped up and said that the supervillain wasn’t looking out for *them*. She certainly wasn’t looking out for other women when she robbed the bank.
Do you really think you’re looking out for other women with your attitude right now?
Would it blow your mind if I said that I was a feminist? It really shouldn’t — I don’t want another little boy or girl to grow up with archaic societal ideas about how men and women are “supposed” to act and are ridiculed if they desire to like anything remotely “masculine” or “feminine”, whether it’s liking comic book superheros or shows with bad-ass female high-school teenagers.
What about you? are you really helping other women?
fun fact: the reason that the plural of goose is geese but the plural of moose is not meese is because goose derives from an ancient germanic word undergoing strong declension, in the pattern of foot/feet and tooth/teeth, wherein oo is mutated to ee. however ‘moose’ is a native american word added to the english lexicon only ~400 years ago, and lacks the etymological reason to be pluralized in that way.
Here it is. I worked on this on and off for a couple of nights. The original filename was ‘Charlie Adler is Bill Cipher’. I’ve been watching a buttload of Cow and Chicken in the office just for the lols and I’m still impressed at how Charlie Adler voiced the titular characters and the villain for the show, much like Alex Hirsch voiced Bill, Stan, and Soos in Gravity Falls. And then I thought…what if Charlie Adler voiced Bill and…not Alex Hirsch? See for yourself. I already lost count at how many times I cracked up while making this.

I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
I under stand that my head is tilted by a professional smile???
