3--These were my favourite books growing up! Massive love to you! :DDD

8--For me, Matt was that entire series.

9--How can you hate on the Tuna? :<<<

19--I am so tired of people saying that someone ruined a series for them. The only way that can happen would be if they gave away some significant plot point that ruined the suspence or ending. If people fangirl/bitch/riducule to much you can always avoid them. I had some friends that I had to stop watching Naruto with because they wouldn't stop bitching and making fun of my favourite character at the time. I simply refused to watch or discuss the series with them anymore. We've drifted now, but not just because of the show, because they were assholes, that was my first time really seeing that. But I didn't let them ruin the show or the character for me. (sorry for the tl;dr)

20--People are entitled to dislike things that you like. You don't have to be a bitch about it. I don't like One Piece either--it just didn't hold my interest, but I'm happy for you that you enjoy it.

35--Oh whatever...what other people do isn't something you should feel ashamed of. And creators should either avoid fandoms completely or just accept what their fans so. I don't what that art was, but I'm geussing it was something really hard-core. Whatever, he should just be happy he has fans obsessed enough to do fanart of whatever.

To clarify

Doesn't mean he has to like it though.

Frankly, I'd probably be LESS willing to meet any of my fans if I were famous and someone pulled a stunt like that. It only takes a few bad apples to ruin a bunch before they go pre-Catholic conversion Anne Rice and Anne McCaffery on fan work. And I don't blame Butch Hartman either.

I would be happy to have fans who draw my stuff. But I would NOT be happy if someone took MY characters -ones that I've spent years developing into fully realized characters- and essentially drew them in grotesque pornography just to get their rocks off. Sure, I'll admit: I've done tasteful sensual artwork of my characters. But there IS a difference between the tasteful and the outright masturbation material shit you see on places like DA.

I'm no prude, but I DO have a fine line between good taste fan art and the sick pornographic/fetish stuff.

Though big 'corporation' shows/comics and anime/manga (where the copyright laws in Japan are fairly vague compared to America's) I can see where they turn a blind eye to porn fan art, although maybe for comics a writer may wag a finger or shake their head in disgust and sigh.

But when you have a more grounded/small fandom for something not so big -especially if it's a creator owned property-, I can understand 100% why he'd be upset. I don't see why that's so wrong?

Sorry to play devil's advocate, but there ya' go.
