It’s not that I don’t like you or anything; I don’t even know anything about you, not your name or appearance or anything. Meanwhile, I’m on a first-name basis on here cause I just put my name as my username cause anything else feels like lying. You know what I look like, you know what I do, you know who I am, and if you don’t, a quick glance at my submitted posts will sort that out in ten seconds.
I don’t know you and don’t have any strong feelings one way or another. Upvotes and downvotes are just a way of scoring “did this bring benefit to people or didn’t it?” I say plenty of banal shit that should be blasted into the dirt, and I post plenty of good art that should be given a few upvotes. It’s part of being human.
You gotta just roll with it. Don’t let a single downvote get under your skin—I mean, hell, I revoked it.
You and I are fine. Fartmaster seemed to think I was more bothered by it than I was.
Don't worry, it isn't. In the moment I was getting mixed messages. We've sorted it out and we're good. 😀
