    So you would claim it is a fact that a character alone cannot have something like “atmosphere”?

    Your initial comment is already rude, as you’re effectively complaining that I posted the “wrong” thing, on the first post to break 10 upvotes in months, in a near-dead community.

      I find it more polite to explain the downvotes than just downvoting. And communities require discussion and disagreement. No one upvoted my opinion, I guess you were the one to downvote it, so there is no way to know who is more aligned with the majority. This is indeed the type of content I feel does not steer the group in the good direction and I will probably leave if it dominates.

      Of course it is subjective, and saying that picture convey no atmosphere is just me being polite. The pose, the clothing, the lack of action, actually gives it an atmosphere: a pin-up/waifu atmosphere. This is not really what I am looking for here.

        Have you even considered the most obvious course of action?

        Post more of the content you want to see, yourself.

        That’s literally what I’m doing, and why I’m so completely dismissive of you. What the hell would be the point of me posting stuff you want to see, when the whole reason I do it in the first place, is to inspire more of the content I like?

        To complain to the people actually posting content, is not discussion. I’m not posting this content for you. I’m posting it for me. Because I like it. To converse with a poster about what kind of content should be posted as a mere consumer of the content is barely a voice worth noting.

        But the instant you post yourself, that is an equally loud statement about what you feel a place is for.

        Your feedback is unhelpful, and insulting in the way you present it as a courtesy to “help” posters please you. As if that’s the goal.

        I don’t care that, or why, you don’t like it. Downvoting and moving on is far more useful, because if the votecount actually indicated that the content is unwelcome, I could just post it somewhere else.

        It doesn’t, which doubly means your view will have absolutely zero impact on how I post, or I suspect on how anyone else posts.

          Sorry for not liking the content you post on a platform designed to comment on posts.

          You asked for specifics, I gave them.

          I post when I find content I like.

          Is it your art? If not do you realize how overreacting you are?

            Sorry for not liking the content you post on a platform designed to comment on posts.

            Ok? Nothing about a platform being for communication means you HAD to go out of your way to make a point of your displeasure.

            You asked for specifics, I gave them.

            No I didn’t. I stated things, and asked nothing until I directly asked about how and why you choose your words. I tried to nicely inform you that you made no sense and no one cares.

            To claim this post doesn’t belong still makes no sense.

            I post when I find content I like.

            Cool. I actively look for it on a daily basis. You should try doing that instead of leaving comments that effectively do little more than ask me to find it for you.

            Is it your art? If not do you realize how overreacting you are?

            Obviously not. I credit the original creator and link to their accounts.

            And again, your “feedback” is pointless. I will not heed it.

            I do not like that you commented. You did not have a nice thought to share, and you should have kept it to yourself. There was no “kind” way to comment what you have commented.

            If I can say more to make sure you do not do it again, I will. You may call that “reaction” as oversized as you like.

              I am saying that lovingly and without sarcasm: you are very clearly overreacting. Maybe show that conversation with people you trust and like and get their opinion but you are having an abnormal tantrum.

              Are you having a bad time in life?

                Are you having a bad time in life?

                You’re doing it again, and this one is a lot worse.

                I really, really want you to start considering this stuff as you put your thoughts into words.

                You can’t just suddenly flip to “genuine concern” in an adverserial exchange without it coming off as condescending. In this case it’s even worse because you actually asked about my life.

                You can’t do that in this context without the potential subtext suggesting that you think there’s something fundamentally wrong with someone’s life, mind, or both, and that that allows you to dismiss what they are saying out of hand.

                If you want me to see how I’m going overboard, explain it. Don’t start pretending at being a therapist.

                Why is doing my utmost to modify behaviours I don’t want the people around me to exhibit, “too much”?

                  Well yeah, I think I was clear that I disagree with your opinion. Of course I am dismissing it, especially with you giving no other argument than saying it is rude to state my opinion. Disagreeing I do all the time with other people without assuming they have mental issues. We have different tastes in art. What is more natural than that?

                  The concern is genuine. You are getting abnormally défensive, angry and paranoid about a post on an image board. Why do you care that much?

                    I would like to ask you to note that I’m not asking you to change your opinion.

                    But how, where, and whether, you express it.

                    I don’t care you that you don’t like what I like.

                    I do care that you carry a level of entitlement that makes you think anyone wanted to hear about it.

                    You’re not going to change what I or anyone else likes. As you know, that’s subjective.

                    The only outcome your comment can possibly have is to publically express your displeasure at something, with entirely subjective grounds. You’re not expressing a concern for some actual rule being violated, but simply whining about how other people don’t like what you like.

                    Why is that worth doing?

                    It’s like telling someone you don’t like how they breathe. Like, ok? I’m not gonna stop but I guess now I know a thing I do displeases you in some tiny way. Thanks?
