Default Icon
2 years ago
I don't take occasion to write very often, but I think it's funny how my default icon reduces the impact of my comments on the work of others. I often feel as though a lot of creators and other commenters look at it and say 'this person isn't even bothering to get some basic furry art to represent them.' :/
The thing is...I have furry art. I even draw decently these days. I even could have taken up tehweenus on his offer of drawing icons for furs who don't have them. Yet when I read his open offer I found myself getting defensive and said "You'll pry my default icon from my cold dead hands!"
But why?
I think it's /because/ it takes some of the punch from my comments. When a creator or someone else responds to me, I feel like they're really appreciating what I've said on its own merit. It's kind of amazing. By being no particular furry, I become whatever others wish to project onto what I am saying.
Or it least, that is how it feels to me.
