I have recently seen a lot of stupid people, mostly very young ones and kids that make the most idiotic comments on photos belonging to bbw women. When this happens I always get so amazed about how immature some people can be. In some cases it’s just a matter of plain childishness. You can easily spot those comments by the frequent use of the words “eww”, “shit”, “horrible” and “disgusting”.

In some cases it’s a matter of people (usually in the ages between 16 and 24) trying to be mature, but failing miserably. In these cases the comments are made in an “I am making a constructive criticism comment” style, and the person making the comment is obviously very proud to have gotten out of the “eww” stage, and now feels mature enough to make “grown up” comments. 99% of the time, they do not succeed.

I just can’t understand why people feel the need to deride and mock things they do not like. It’s just a matter of “click next” or go to another site. Think about what it would be like if everyone did that. People would know nothing else, just complain, and answer other peoples complaints on their own stuff.

Personally I would be very busy answering comments here, and also commenting on certain manga pics and boring mainstream photos…. Oh, and all those super sweet, diabetes causing chibi things, and those fantasy-women-on-shady-background photomanips… (And just so you know, some manga is good, even chibie’s, and I like many photomanips even fantasy style.)

What I am talking about is respect for your fellow human. I like different things in art then you do, Karl likes different things in art then Annika does. Martha thinks Bobby’s drawings are great while Arthur thinks they are horrible. We should respect the opinion of each and every one of them. However, if Arthur suddenly chooses to express his dislike of Bobby’s drawings in a bad way, by making comments like “go die with your ugly drawings”, or “you should not have been allowed to use a pencil in the first place”, then it is a completely different thing. And did you notice I used drawings in the example?

Reading comments like that would make many pencil artists and painters very upset, and yet there is a difference here. Those of us that show ourselves nude on photos and get those comments get judged in a much harder and more personal way. Think about it. If someone saw a photo of you wearing cloths and reacted that way, wouldn’t it hurt? And if the photo was a nude, how much more would that hurt?

I sometimes feel at a loss for words in situations like these. I don’t know whether to verbally bust their asses, or just let it go, thinking that in the end it will be their loss since people acting this way will get it back, sooner or later.
