Comment on Donations by DoubleLeggy
Yeah I really don't know. Some people just exploded on me and called me a beggar, sell-out, lazy jobless bitch and a whole slew of other names. Even though I explicitly stated that underage individuals shouldn't donate without parental permission, I also had a bunch of people say I was only using the fans and trying to guilt gullible children into giving me their money. Epic shrug!
Yeesh, talk about telling people to get a fucking life. You're not the first artist to ask for help, financial support, patronage or whatever you want to call it and you certainly won't be the last. How many arts students apply for funding from arts councils and such organisations to help with their postgraduate studies or fund other training? How many people have raised money for their artistic projects through Kickstarter? That's unacceptable the shit they threw at you and I'm sorry to hear that Leggy, but to hell with them, you're still moving forward and improving as an artist and that's what matters.
Yeah... for a while I was kinda convinced maybe I was just being a shitty, selfish person. But not long ago I kinda had a sit-down with myself, looking back on a lot of the stuff I've dealt with and it's like; While I haven't always been the most mature person, a lot of the shit I've been dealt was really, really uncalled for. I don't feel ashamed to admit that any more, some people seriously are just dicks with their own screwy agenda. But yeah all that aside, I really do appreciate so much everyone who was and is supportive. It means a lot!
Aye, when you're in the public limelight to any degree, then like it or not you are gonna catch shit from some people because like you say, there some complete morrons with their own messed-up agenda and also you can't please everyone. As Winston Churchill once said: "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." I know that we're not talking about enemies, but the sentiment still stands.
Others may disagree, but the way I see it since I've been following you as a fan, you've just expressed yourself artistically and also been yourself online. Now even if I didn't care much for your artistic expression or even for who you are as a person, I would still respect the fact you were exercising your right to artistically express yourself and also for having the backbone to be the woman you are so openly and that's the least you deserve, especially when too many people are either too spineless or two-faced to do that. Not only do I respect your artistic expression, but I love what you do, be it music videos, comics, drawings, etc. In addition, based on both how you've conducted yourself online and from what little interaction that I've had with you, you strike me as a down to Earth lass, with a great sense of humor who I'd enjoy hanging around if our neighourhoods were a tad closer.
Apologies for saying something that I've said to you before in more ways than one, but tough luck I'm gonna say it anyway, lol. Keep doing what you love, you're good at it and always be yourself. I've been your fan for nine years now, you have my respect and my support and I don't see that changing Leggy and you're very welcome.

Yo good quote, and also very true that you can't please everyone. There was a good chunk of time where I just worried way too much about that; Tried being so overly polite, apologetic... and honestly, it just made me feel even worse than before. I don't have to go out of my way to be mean or something, but I definitely am not gonna be a pushover anymore either, like yo fuck dat!
Well I appreciate that to the extreme, even! I'm really happy and grateful when people know that I'm just doing what I do because I love it! And I only have respect for those who are the same, no matter who they are. Actually when it comes to inspiration, I'm much the same. I don't find myself inspired or swayed by physicality; Whether someone draws, writes, reviews or anything, it's their ingenuity and passion that stands out to me the most. In a world of copycats, two-faces and scammers, finding individuals like that is always a breath of fresh air, and I only hope I never lose sight of that either. But seriously, thank you!
