First of all I'm, glad to post a new journal because I've actually had a few recent notes asking how G-FEST was, when in fact my last journal was from right before I went -- last July! So this should hide that...

Anyway, sometime over a month ago, I had a bit of a conversation (if you could call it that) via Note on DA, with another expansion artist who has come to dislike me quite a bit. They made some accusations, but abruptly claimed they were blocking me from their account, thus I can't post comments or even respond by note to further defend myself. As a courtesy I will not mention who this person is. While the conversation was a bit old, it's been bothering me, and I feel I must post to defend myself. Especially considering, judging from what they said, this is apparently the belief of some other people.

First of all, I do not deny I draw a hell of a lot of lolicon art. Show me proof my art is hurting anyone in any way and I will stop. And quite frankly my stuff is tame in comparison to a lot of the more extreme stuff; Of course I'm alluding to hentai, I've seen stuff (art/drawings) that even have made me squirm (but tolerate, because that's the type of person I am).

Anyway, onto the issue at hand. I will respond to each claim individually.

"When a man draws almost exclusively fat children"
As stated above, guilty as charged. I do ART, drawings and whatnot of fictional characters. I am attracted to particular animation styles, and cute characters. Admittedly a lot of "older" fictional characters just don't do it for me. But I have no issue drawing them, as there ar some I like, and I'm always taking commissions of pretty much anything.

"has a fat kid OC"
Not entirely true. Puyo was conceived to be the mascot of my site, Animexpansion. I would not have intentionally created a character who was excessively young, as this would alienate some people. I've never officially established her age, as well as a number of other details, as of yet, however I have always generally assumed she's around 16 or so.

"a website featuring animated fat/stuffed kids"
That depends entirely on what type of art the artists on my site create.

"and from what I hear is "waiting for the right time to strike"
This, I found to be the most concerning accusation, for obvious reasons. I have never stated, even in jest, to be planning on, or even wanting to "strike". Admittedly, around a few good friends I've joking made some comments parodying what some people think of me, but that's it. I don't understand where this idea came from, aside from sure speculation.

"you could be like Jerry Sandusky, starring out at a elementary school from your back deck, drooling at recess time as the kids play."
Another infuriating comment, as I find what Sandusky did to be disgusting and absolutely reprehensible. I was one of the people who thought his defenders were absolute idiots.

It's also worth noting that the person making all of these claims has also done a number of underaged characters depicted for sexual intent.

Anyway, I just wanted to get that out there. If you have a mind to, please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
