I was trying to look up an old post on reddit and happened across a guy who was shit talking my comic. That’s not uncommon or anything but some of the responses he was getting made it seem like people really didn’t like him and there was backstory. I, as you well know, am a big fan of backstory and wanted more.
I don’t use reddit very much but as I was looking at the post it occured to me that you can look at all of a users posts if you click on them. So I went to his profile and looked at his posts and started stalking around. This guy just goes to apparently every community he’s in a shit talks the same few points. No one listens, and no one likes him. It’s the first time I’ve seen posts that had negative plus marks or whatever the fuck they call them.
There were responses to him on a few posts that were like “We know, you come back every two months to post the same thing…”
Just some German guy who can’t seem to connect with people and is annoyed by just about everything. He had a whole section of posts about how he has bad dating results with Capricorns specifically.
Something about it all was extremely amusing to me and also made me feel a little bad for him.
He’s so critical about everything that he can’t get out of his own way.
If I met him in real life and was the same age he’s exactly the kind of person who would end up being my friend for decades even though I don’t really like him very much.
Just some poor German guy out there failing at everything and hating my comic every two months.
I suppose we will forever be unfriends, but I still pity him a little. It’s so hard to connect with people when you are so full of criticism and misery. I know his plight all too well. So, even though you think I suck, miserable German person, I hope you finally find a lovely Capricorn who will see past your outer schmuck and love the probably decent person you are inside.
Or if you’re a schmuck all the way down I hope you don’t drag anyone down with you. That’s what I’m trying to avoid.

I posted the bulk of that in the discord chat the other night and I thought it might make an amusing blog post. It’s also something I thought I’d like to remember later on and discord just fades into nothingness after a while as far as looking back goes. Anyway, here we are at the start of another week. I hope my offering finds you well and on a path to success. If not I hope it helps you find your way to it somehow. Let’s meet back up on Wednesday and if you have made a fortune please remember your poor artist friend struggling against the robots and algorithms out here on these mean internets. Until then, remember “do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment”.
