Ryo In Denial PT 2

Ryo in denial

Artwork PT. 2

Ebony Dark’Ness Demensia Raven Way here, continuing this series much to your chagrin.

The more observant of you will notice that I am posting as myself rather than everyone’s favorite squid with anger issues posting on my behalf. For the less perceptive of you, the announcement at the top pretty much declared my arrival to poke at “a certain elephantine preppy man.” And if it’s ONE THING people should know about us Goths, we HATE preps! Stuck up snobs think they can tell US what WE’RE doing is wrong? Perverted? All while they masturbate to pictures of themselves and support things like dominating women, segregating minorities and dictating who can marry who? All because I wear black and take joy in the morbid taboos of life? And how we dress somehow means we’re devil worshipers? Ryo, if it’s ONE thing I can tell you, I have a choker with a c-r-o-s-s on it and I’m wearing it RIGHT NOW. (Along with a white and black underbust corset, a white tiny hat on the side of my now pink hair, a pink bra, pink panties, a pink bustle skirt, white tights, pink bunny slippers—okay, back to the choker.) That ALONE makes me more Christian than you’ll EVER BE.

*Cue loud pipe organ music*

 So I am here today, before all of you, like the good Stanist I am, to do what any good preacher would do in a house of truth: Testify. Testify, in my own words, against the monstrosity that is Ryo, a man who is so deeply in denial about himself that he’s built this ungodly image (of ironically being a god himself) to fool the general public, and even himself, about who he really is. He is climbin’ in your computer monitors and he is spoon-feeding you lies. He claims he believes only in the lord Jesus himself but in a desperate struggle to stay chaste before the eyes of the lord, his own eyes blinded by his ego, he has turned himself into a false idol and the higher the pedestal that he places himself on, the harder his honesty and his ability to realize the truth crashes to the ground and shatters.

 I tell you the lord hath no eyes for a man who has eyes only for himself and Ryo’s ego is so large that he cannot see around it and so dense that he cannot see through it. Ryo preaches that he knows the way to the light while he only walks further and further into the shadows of deception. He claims to be trying to save the souls of others while he only condemns his own soul further into the depths of hell. My friends, Ryo is a man who needs help, and he may be even further beyond the reach of god. But we can help him.

 For just FIVE dollars, we can send Ryo a sign. A sign from the lord. It was sent to me personally and all it needs to be is printed, fixed on a wooden stake and planted in his back yard! For you non-believers here is the image he has sent me!

God compels you to call this number and donate! He is demanding his word be spread! Call this number and make your donation of five dollars and we will knock this false idol off of his pedestal!

 1-888-fuck-ryo

 … I’m just kidding, I’m a pissed off Goth kid, not a fuckin’ televangelist. I don’t need your cash to rip Ryo a new one.

 Anyways, grand fucking entrance complete, let’s get back to the point. In our next piece of, er…. No, I can’t bring myself to call this a work of art. More like a piece of shit. So in our next piece of shit, we have Ryo in…. A speedo.

Due to the graphic nature of this next image, it might not be suitable for younger audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.



JESUSCHRIST IT’S AN ELEPHANT-MAN GET TO THA CHOPPA!!!!

This is part of his extremely disturbing “Glamour shot” series called “Last chance at summer.” I prefer the name “Excuse to draw chicks in bathing suits in suggestive poses and an elephant man in a speedo” myself, but there you go.

 Now this was going to be an article strictly based on the blatant childishness in trying not to look like a sexual deviant and how that makes him look more like a sexual deviant, but I just have to point something out:

 HIS ANATOMY IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING.

Seriously, Ryo? Seriously? There’s no man alive who looks like that. He claimed in one passive Deviantart comment that he based Ryuu’s appearance on Arnold Schwarzenegger during his body-building phase. Ryo, Ah-Nold, as buff as he is, has NEVER EVER EVER BEEN THAT HUGE, NOR DID HE HAVE THAT MANY MUSCLES. THE NUMBER OF MUSCLES ON THE HUMAN BODY IS CONCRETE. No matter how much you work out, you never have more muscles in your body, you just make the ones you have bigger.  So WHY DOES RYUU HAVE, LIKE, 4 BICEPS?!

Now I claim myself to be an artist. I never said a good artist, but an artist nonetheless. As an artist, I couldn’t deal with looking at this anymore so I figured I’d do something called a red-line drawing. A red-line drawing is when you take a pre-existing drawing that either you or someone else has created and you draw over it with red to fix mistakes or make the picture look better. In Ryo’s case, I had to do both. So here’s my attempt to fix the drawing of Ryuu.

Definitely an improvement, wouldn’t you agree my little Gothlings?

Anyways. Hesitantly moving on.

This is the last one in his series. (thank god) but you know what they say: Save the best for last! So Poor Ryo had to suffer through drawing girls in whore-ish poses and skimpy outfits in order to build up to drawing this “masterpiece.” (More on this in a bit.)

 First, let’s look at the artist comments, shall we? But I won’t be bothering with the first paragraph since it’s a generic copy and paste job he did through his series and does nothing but highlight his laziness by A.) showing he can’t be bothered to re-explain things per picture and B.) remarks that while supposedly being a “summertime” series and even though he only did lineart and didn’t even have to take time to color or ink or anything, it still took him all the way to the middle of fucking NOVEMBER to finish a.... 6-7 picture series? GOOD LUCK WITH ART SCHOOL YOU’LL NEED IT. You’re expected to have fully sketched, inked and colored images done within a week or less, and no Ryo, LINED PAPER WON’T CUT IT IN ART SCHOOL. Better suck it up and fork over the fucking fortune of $15 to get a decent sketchbook.

 

Anyways, moving along to the rest of the artist comments.

“Lucky number 7 is Ryukenden Atrineas!”

Yeah, I feel blessed alright.

“Ryo's more the bodybuilder show type, but he's not gonna run around in those tiny things, so he takes the Arnold Schwarzenegger approach. A statement that says even a guy can feel good about his figure. Just as long as he has a reason to. But in addition to the swimwear, he has his old, classic shackle wristbands!”

First off, nice grammar in the first sentence. Secondly, Bodybuilder show type? The fuck does that even MEAN? Is he surrounded by invisible cameramen who are only begrudgingly there taking pictures of this horrible monstrosity in order to avoid a beheading order from him? I mean, the kind does look pissed. Or entitled. Or like he has to take a shit really bad. Jury’s still out.

Third, just what the fuck is the “Arnold Schwarzenegger” approach? Ryuu looks like he’s had 3 or 4 Schwarzenegger clones murdered, their skeletons stripped and had their muscles surgically implanted into his body. Make that 6 Schwarzenegger clones. Or 12. Yeah, 12.

Fourth, “A statement that says even a guy can feel good about his figure. Just as long as he has a reason to.” I have two issues with these two sentences. First of all, IT SHOULD BE ONE FUCKING SENTENCE. Secondly, “Just as long as he has a reason to”? The fuck kind of motivation is that? So if you’re not the size of a small minivan you SHOULDN’T feel good about your figure? This, coming from a guy who says he doesn’t like fat women?

YES. HE’S SAID THAT.

What about something like… Everyone should feel good about your figure, regardless of size? Or should I say regardless of Ryo getting a boner over it? Because so far, Ryo’s “feel good” attitude should only be felt if Ryo’s getting a boner over your figure. 

Just like he’s PROBABLY getting a boner over Ryuu’s figure.

 Also, Shackle bracelets? This is raising a red flag: Shackles are usually associated with prisons and bondage. So has Ryo just accidentally let out that he’s a fan of bondage and S&M? Well, the way he likes to dominate and overpower not just women but other men too, as Ryuu reflects in his many murderous rampages against everything and anything that proves to be even a tiny annoyance, along with the fact that he avoids anything sexual and therefor probably has only the VAGUEST idea of what bondage and S&M is (probably something along the lines of violently dominating anything weaker than you, hence why Ryuu’s the biggest fucking character in his whole roster who’s completely undefeatable) it’s quite likely he has.

Ryo probably uses this book as relationship advice.

Setting a red flag though, that Ryuu’s the one wearing the shackles, not someone like Zelda. Maybe it’s Ryo’s fantasy to dominate Ryuu, the undominateable?

 

On a final note on this paragraph, THANK FUCK Ryuu doesn’t run around in that! That’s probably the smartest decision on Ryo’s behalf, maybe the women of Hyrule will be spared for at least five seconds until they realize they’re existence is still only to serve him and slowly sink back into that deep dark depressing place.

I should also point out that out of all the “Last chance at summer” pictures he drew of his Zelda Rip-offs characters, Ryuu has the smallest bathingsuit.

… Yeah.

Ryuu the entire time he was drawing this picture. Jammies and all.

Moving on.

“He's on the wall near LonLon Ranch and the castle's in the background.”

… Really, Ryo? Really? You would have been better off trying to convince us that Ryuu ordered his peopleservants to build him a pool in the middle of Hyrule Field. First of all the wall surrounding Lon Lon ranch doesn’t have any square angles. Secondly, it’s a fuckload taller than that, unless the ranch is flooded. Honestly, that sounds like something Ryuu would do

“Hmm…. I desire a Swim-pool to swim in. Please fill up your ranch-stable with water so that I may swim in your  flooded ranch-stable!" -An Ignoramus

UNLESS YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT THIS WALL, RYO.

Yeah, he’s really specific.

In which case, why did you say it’s near Lon Lon Ranch? These walls are found NOWHERE NEAR Lon Lon Ranch as well, so it’s JUST A LITTLE CONFUSING. Secondly, your walls? Yeah they look nothing LIKE these. (Then again they look nothing like Lon Lon Ranch’s walls either. MY MISTAKE.) First there’s no texture on the wall. This texture isn’t EXACTLY the most difficult to draw seeing it’s completely 2D pasted onto a 3D model due to the limited graphical capabilities of the N64. But Ryo’s a lazy fuck, so he couldn’t be bothered anyways.

Secondly, IT’S PRETTY FUCKING TALL. JUST SAYING. The original wall was like what… a foot, two feet high? Did you intend to make it look like a giant honking wall or were you just too lazy to DRAW THE GROUND BENEATH THE WALL? But you drew the ground inside! HENCE WHY YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF SAYING IT’S A POOL.

Also, why is Ryuu there? Did you bother to tell the story? Is he there so Hyrule can gaze upon his sheer horrificness? Is he there silently looking at different towns and settlements in Hyrule and mentally telling himself that he owns all of it? Is he perving on Malon?

The only reason Ryo decided to draw this was so he his loyal, die-hard fans could have some fapping material eye candy fan service.

Moving on.

“After a while of not doing muscle art, I think this turned out pretty well. I hope you guys like it!” 

No. No we don’t like it. I feel like it’s raped my soul. 

Also, you think EVERYTHING you do turns out pretty well. Because you have an ego problem. And because you like having anatomically inaccurate buff men to masterbate over. Only people with Inflation fetishes don’t bother with anatomy lessons and give their characters however many fucking muscles as they want.

“I hope you all like this!”

 YOU JUST SAID THAT. WELCOME TO THE DEPARTMENT OF REDUNDANCY DEPARTMENT PLEASE TAKE A NUMBER AND BE SEATED AFTER TAKING A NUMBER SIT DOWN.

“More swimwearers are to come, both girls and guys alike!”

 ….. This was his last one. And out of 7 pictures, only two were of men. (His fictional son being one of them, which was also made to be as faptastic anatomically incorrect as Ryuu was.) And they were both saved for last.

Yo dawg, we heard you like swimsuits...

Also, why the fuck does Ryuu give his son, whose full name is Raphael, a cutsey nickname like Raphy? Wouldn’t the cutsey nickname giving be for his mother, since Ryo’s so obsessed with gender roles that him doing anything remotely feminine would be completely unacceptable? Does he find his son adorable? In that way? Creepy as fuck. And Ryo’s hinted at incest before with his horrifying pictures that Cala pointed out.

We all love that angry squid.

Now I mentioned earlier how Ryo drew the women in his universe in very erm…. Suggestive poses. I think the best example of this would be his Zelda image.

“But Ebiurb Dere’nesds Deneinsian Rebwwwrb Waiy” you say, “isn’t this article about how obsessed with men Ryo is?” Well, my little Gothlings, yes, it is. I’d give you a gold star, but gold is for preps and Gansta rap fans. So here, have a Black☆Star!

He’s a bigger man than Ryo will ever be. We all love him, don’t lie.

Leaving that image there so when you see what Ryuu did to Queen Zelda, you can go back to it and try to make your soul laugh off what you just saw. You probably won’t. Your soul will probably be dead. But at least I tried.



THAT'S NOT SUGGESTIVE. THAT'S NOT SUGGESTIVE AT ALL.

God save the queen.

First off, Ryo, good job. Good job reducing the now-supposed-queen of Hyrule into a fucking harlot who rolls around in the castle courtyard wearing nothing except a skimpy bikini that looks more like underwear than something you’d swim in (SPOILER ALERT: WHICH HE ALSO RIPPED OFF FROM ANOTHER ARTIST) with her voyeur husband taking FUCKING PICTURES.

YES, I’M NOT GOING TO ELABORATE ON THE ARTIST COMMENTS OF THIS PICTURE BUT RYUU’S THE PHOTOGRAPHER APPARENTLY.

He also claims that the bows add “innocence.” Ryo, the VERY LAST WORD you should be using to describe this is INNOCENCE. It does not exist here. First off, her husband is taking suggestive photos of his wife in the MIDDLE OF THE CASTLE COURTYARD. THAT’S NOT PUBLIC BEHAVIOR, RYO, THAT’S BEDROOM BEHAVIOR. Secondly, she’s a mother, and her kids have access to the courtyard. Is this behavior something Queen Zelda would want her children seeing? Especially her young, impressionable daughter who thinks doing half-naked, sexy poses in front of a camera in public is okay as long as the guy behind the camera says he “loves you”? I can see her becoming an inadvertent porn star at the age of 16 when she strips for the wrong sweet-talking guy. Because it was okay, mommy was doing it with Daddy in the courtyard!!

Finally, LOOK AT ZELDA’S POSE, RYO. THAT’S NOT AN INNOCENT, PLAYFUL POSE. THAT IS A “FUCK ME” POSE. And not “Fuck me” in the sense of how the ever-entertaining Chef Gordon Ramsay yells it when he gets a raw beef wellington for the THIRD TIME THIS DINNER SERVICE!!!

OH COME ON, YOU FUCKING DONKEY!! BOLLOCKS!!! YOU, YOU, YOU AND YOU, GET OUT!!!

So basically, in Ryo’s world, women who supposedly have power (Ryuu wouldn’t be fucking king were it not for her) are reduced to fapping material. And even when this is supposedly a fanservice picture of Zelda? Ryuu is still there. He’s the camera man. He’s the one taking photos and pasting them on the internet for all to see.

So what’s the message of this image? “Women of Hyrule? Ryuu’s always there, and he GETS what he WANTS, no matter who or what you are.”

What’s the subliminal message of this image? “Muscley men Women of Earth? Ryo’s there, and he GETS what he WANTS, no matter who or what you are.”

What I meant to say was... GOD exists... And he is American.

Now, if you begin to feel an intense and crushing feeling of religious terror at the concept… Don’t be alarmed. That indicates only that you are still sane...

Ryo In Denial PT 1

Hi kids. Cala again, uploading another guest post on behalf of everyone's favorite Slytherin vampire!

Ryo in denial

Artwork, PT 1

Okay, it’s Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way here.

You all might be saying “Why is a Goth chick who can’t even properly type the name of genitalia (often childishly referring to them childishly as “Thing” and “you-know-where”) and who can’t even spell her own damn name right or kill herself properly without using bovine edibles critiquing a guy who just really likes to draw and write just because he can’t say swear words, avoids homosexuals and can’t come up with original characters without ripping off just about everything from their name to their clothes to their personalities?”

… Okay, that last bit was added by me. But the gist of what people ask me is “why are you such a hypocrite?” Ryo can’t even talk about genitalia as if it were a normal body part, but neither can you. Ryo can’t go five seconds without ripping off a LOZ character, but your whole persona is ripped off a bad fanfiction.

Touché.

But there’s one thing separating the Goths from the little boys here: I don’t deny what I am.

I’m a “Goffic” chick who can’t go five minutes without telling you I’m wearing a black leather corset, matching mini-skirt, a necklace with NIN’s logo on it, leather boots, hot pink fishnets matching hot pink lipstick snow white skin raven black hair blood red eyes and baby poop green panties. I can’t type “c-r-o-s-s” because I’m a Stanist.

Praise the lord!

I can’t go five seconds without thinking of my beloved Draco sticking his thing in my you-know-where. When it comes to how my name’s spelt I’d rather have it multiple choice and fuck it, I’d rather kill myself with a T-Bone than a block of wood.

Fuck you, I don’t need you to point that shit out for me.

Ryo, on the other hand, is in pure denial of who he is: not straight.

No, he’s not necessarily gay, but he sure as hell isn’t a strictly “I like boobs and vagina” man either.

Now I know what you’re going to ask me: “Ebny Dei;nwss Denbeuta Rabbn Wayy, how can that be even remotely possible?” Well, let me explain myself. In numerous ways, and although he’ll never admit to it, Ryo has hinted at being a fan of Erotic art. Of men. Very muscley men. He draws pictures of them, collects pictures of them, watches artists who draw art of them, I could go on. I’ll touch on each point individually in this article. But that’s only the beginning.

He puts way more development into his male characters than his female characters. All his female characters are constantly fainting over their male company. Regardless of them being in their own picture, a man is constantly mentioned either in the drawing itself or in its description. In short, all his female characters are obsessed with the men. This is shown through there always being some sort of male presence in all of his drawings, regardless of how female the picture is, via either describing the girl’s obsession with him or including posters or magazines featuring Ryuu in all his muscley glory. (I seriously wish I was joking, more on this later.)

Now you could say this is just a bad, bad combination of Ryo’s sexism and shitty writing. Obviously with Ryo’s strong beliefs in gender roles (which I touched on in my previous article) women are supposed to be the caretakers of men, and therefor their entire lives must revolve around them, right? Doing anything but this would make no sense to Ryo. No matter if it’s unconditional love (Zelda for Ryuu) or unbridled hatred (Crosshair for Draco (NOT THAT DRACO)) every woman in his “kingdom” is obsessed with a man and their lives (And personality and story and ect ect) revolve completely around a man. How does this have any bearing on Ryo’s sexuality?

Folks, I’m in the business of reading between the lines. Most people see the normal, sexist pig Ryo that we’ve been shoving in your face for the past little while. But I’m going to read a little further into it than that. Ryo’s universe revolves around men. It’s run by men, protected and threatened by men, impacted by men. Everything that’s not a man in this universe serves only to compliment or serve men. Ryo’s universe is obsessed with men. I am taking this a step further with what I’m about to say.

Ryo himself is obsessed with men.

Let’s take this one step at a time, starting with his artwork.

Ryo draws his Zelda self-insert, Ryuu, as he wants to see himself: A giant mountain of muscle and hair that’s akin to a “flaming waterfall.” (We know how much you love that simile.) Women constantly fawn over him like he’s a god…. Oh wait, maybe that’s because he is a god. Ryuu is the completely flawless, just, fair and dastardly handsome king/god of Hyrule who has never done and will never do any wrong because no matter if he completely slaughters an entire species or how many men he throws in the dungeons, it’s justified because “I’m Ryuu, bitch.”

Most would just see this as an example of Ryo’s narcissism but I see it in a slightly different light: He himself is obsessed with Ryuu. He’s obsessed with women being obsessed with Ryuu. He’s obsessed with Ryuu’s perfection. This is clearly reflected in his drawings of Ryuu, which either has Ryuu surrounded by women, about to slay the great beast, ruling over someone, about to be betrayed by someone who is obviously evil just because he stood up to super kami Ryuu, in a “pin-up” glamor shot or some ungodly combination of the above. Never is Ryuu upset or lamenting a bad choice or dealing with women fed up with his narcissistic bullcrap, because none of the above has ever happened.

First let’s look at his “fanservice” art. (I wish this didn’t even exist. Seriously. I’m sorry.)

Basically in his “glamor drawings” Ryo draws half-nude (or completely nude sans ass or penis) drawings of his steroid-pumped personification of himself and calls them “fanservice.” (That’s a suggestive drawing of characters from a fandom by the artist drawn solely for fans to swoon over. Yeah, it’s funny that he thinks he has fangirls who find chauvinist steroid monsters sexy.)

But the fact is he states he has more fun drawing each and every muscle on his terrifying hunk of meat. IE he enjoys drawing this giant mountain of meat. It almost seems like he gets off on it more than his fans do. But one thing that I can’t get over (and I’m going to step out of my own comfort zone and talk about Genetalia) is he’s never drawn a full nude of anyone, not even Ryuu. Now, as an artist with some professional training myself, let me explain the drawing of the human figure myself:

Basically, unless the character’s body type is of such that the artist is turned on by or they are a character they really thoroughly enjoy drawing in a fun pose, artists are generally very objective about the human body. In professional art schools, you have nude models that you draw in a group. Nude, not as in conveniently censored for the squeamish, I mean nude as in everything’s out in the open. Penis, ass, tits, vagina, the works. And you want to know how the artists react to this? With a stone face. No smirking, no wincing. Guess how long it’d take you to get kicked out if you made a complaint or started giggling? Hint: you might have enough time to collect your things.

Ryo, however, has had no formal training whatsoever. His excuse is that despite his high paying job, he can’t even afford a $15 sketchbook that doesn’t have lines. (Just about as believable as all the other bullcrap he’s spouted, eh?) Let’s hope for art schools all over the world’s sake that he’ll never be able to afford to go because he’ll probably last for about 5 minutes before he gets kicked out for asking the model to “Cover up [his], erm… thing.” (I can totally see him saying it, just like that.) Although I have to say, he has the snooty artist attitude down pat. Just one problem: He’s a cartoonist who has the attitude of a fine arts student. And a cartoonist who doesn’t even have his own style, but copy-cats art styles from established artists. I can tell you from experience that that’s extremely frowned upon in the art community (Unless you’re parodying something.)

But I went off on a tangent. Simply put, Ryo has no formal art training and while many amazing artists out there are completely self-taught, for Ryo, his lack of schooling shows just as much as his chauvinism and ego does. Not just in his terrible anatomy and horrible…. Everything else, but also in the stuff he draws. And the things he won’t draw. Ryo is very squeamish around drawing body parts. Specifically, penises. He won’t draw one. Ever. I bet he can’t even say the word. Dicks upset him. They upset him so much that he marks his artwork as “mature” even if it’s remotely hinted that Ryuu doesn’t have his covered in the situation he’s drawing (assuming Ryuu has one. Who knows, maybe his children formed on one of his arms than simply fell off one day, a fully formed sentient being, kind of like how an amoeba procreates.)

Exhibit A

I know, I'm disturbed too.

Ryo’s name for this monstrosity is “hot shower, hot guy.” First of all, I am amazed he thinks to use the adjective “hot” for a human without cringing, especially with it’s somewhat sexual connotation. But the fact that he’s using it on his male character? Honestly, that sets off a few bells. He certainly has more fun drawing Ryuu in “sexy” poses than Zelda or any female characters, seeing as he does it more often. But enough of my rambling, let’s see what Ryo has to say about this.

“Put Under "Warning" because Ryo's not wearing anything. Yet, nothing is shown”

So... Because it’s implied that Ryuu is naked and that his invisible wiener is not covered, it’s mature artwork?

Maybe it’d be unsuitable for, say…. A five year old. But Ryo, just because you say “they’re not wearing anything” doesn’t mean it’s pornographic art. But then again, someone who can’t even handle seeing a penis (I’m guessing he’s never seen himself naked in his entire life, maybe there’s a rule against being naked in the bible?) even implying there’s one there is a big deal. In this way, Ryuu reminds me of a schoolgirl who giggles in anatomy class because the teacher talked about the penis.

Yeah, it’ll take him no time to get kicked out of art school if he’s even accepted.

Anyways, let’s continue.

“More of an excuse for muscle drawing again, I for some reason got the idea of Ryo in the shower. I think it was a comic of Klavier Gavin I saw earlier. So, it seconds as fanservice.”

Because your idea was inspired by possible fanservice, it suddenly is fanservice? And why are you reading fanservice for a male character anyways? And Ryo, why would you need an “Excuse” for drawing muscles? And why would that excuse give you an idea for a shower setting (aside from that’s what happened in the comic and you rip off everything?)

See, if people want to draw muscley people in the shower, most of them would just do it. It’s only someone who thinks that they’re doing something wrong who’d look for excuses to do it. Now bearing this in mind, isn’t it possible that the devoutly-religious Ryo would have some guilt about maybe drawing something he’s uncomfortable with, say, naked people? Could it be that, like a preteen boy who looks at Anatomy books to “learn about the body” when we REALLY know he just wants to see some damn boobies, Ryo is making bullshit excuses to do things his heart truly desires?

See, judging from his overly-religious home in which everything that isn’t rated PG fuckin’ 4 is a “sin”, it seems he can’t just up and do something without coming up with a redonkulous excuse or else he faces retribution from God (or the next in line to God, his overbearing father.) So he uses things like “I’m an artist” and “I want to practise drawing and get into art school someday even though I won’t even spend $15 at walmart for a sketchbook without lines in it because that’s overpriced” or “I’m drawing these sexy muscle-men for my sweetpea and her friends because they’re all girls and will get off on it. Not me, I’m a boy, I certainly don’t get off on muscle men! Straight pride, everybody!!!” to excuse his actions, even if it’s just to himself.

Let’s move on.

“Showers don't normally give off that much steam... but I had to do something, okay? I don't draw everything on a guy, and I doubt I ever will.”

…… See? If this man was truly dedicated to his art, he’d be purely objective about the subject of the penis. But Ryo isn’t objective about the penis. He’s not objective about anything. Everything affects him. His ego works that way. Anything in this world has to relate to him and him alone. His girlfriend is awesome because she does things for him, not because of her personality. Gays are bad because he finds them icky and they go against his beliefs. He won’t draw dicks because they make him uncomfortable.

But why, Ryo? Why are you so uncomfortable around penises? Have you never looked at yourself naked in the mirror? I’m going to make a bold statement: Ryo’s desperate to keep up the “good little church boy” image by avoiding things like penises and drawing penises because maybe, like a girl who insists she’s a virgin but secretly watches porn at night, he incorrectly thinks that drawing a penis will make him a sexual deviant in the eyes of god.

Watching porn doesn’t take away your virginity, Ryo, and drawing a dick or two doesn’t make you a pervert. Avoiding it like the plague, however, kind of makes you look like a homophobic closeted gay who’s trying to keep a straight face. Literally.

A piece of advice, Ryo: if you can’t get over drawing the human body in its entirety you may as well give up going to art school. If you have a problem with drawing a dick or two, or even a set of tits in your life you’re not going to make it. You’ll be kicked out for being immature and difficult about the subject. It’s a penis, Ryo. Barring all unforeseen medical conditions or abnormalities, you have one. 49% of the world has one. Please get over it.

On to the next drawing in the next article. Going to analyze3 drawings in total, so if I try to do them all in one article the whole thing is going to turn into a TL:DR disaster. So this is Ebnoy Darrk; enss Deneburua Rebbaveb Wwaty signing out for now, Fangz for reading!!!

Wherein Ryuu Sinks To A New Low

Cala here. First, hope our Canadian readers had an enjoyable Canada Day. Also hope our American readers had a safe Fourth of July. And I really hope that no one ended up with a bottle rocket in the eye or anything else that would require a visit to the nice people in the emergency room.

Right, I was gonna upload more concrit for LZ, but I found some extremely disturbing comments of Ryuu's. My apologies to LZ, but the concrit's going to have to wait.

We've covered Ryuu's sexism at least twice. We've covered Ryuu's homophobia numerous times. I stupidly thought this was the worst of it, but whoops, I was wrong.

This post has little to nothing to do with his homophobia or sexism. The problem is that it DOES deal with two kinds of bigotry I thought we wouldn't have to touch on.

Yep, this means exactly what you think it means. I stumbled on some evidence that Ryuu's a racist. At the very least I can pretty much confirm that he's severely xenophobic. I'm going to be covering both the probable racism and xenophobia today, by the bye. 

This may be offensive to some of our readers (it offended the hell out of me, honestly.) so I would suggest reading on with care.  If I use incorrect terminology at any point in this, by the way, let me know, please? I have no desire to offend anyone with this, and if I've used anything incorrectly I want to fix that. 

So exhibit the first is over here :

The downside was actually the people, no less. No manners whatsoever. Most of the shopkeepers are foriegn,[sic] too.

Okay, kids. I've talked about this with my brother from another mother, as he's English and was an extremely valuable resource while writing this (thanks a million, dude!).

He prefers to go by Yiazmat, is kind of completely revolted by how Ryuu treats people and confirmed for me what I think most people already know: London is an extremely multicultural city. And in London or anywhere else, there is of course NOTHING wrong with being an immigrant.

Unless you're Ryuu, I guess. Which I find EXTREMELY ironic because unless he's of Native descent in all probability he (like myself and every other non-Native person in the US) has multiple immigrant ancestors. Whoopsie. Anyway...

One guy was on the phone the entire time while wrapping my two mugs, never said a word to me and it was all a language I don't know

Because in the US, you've never had a cashier take a call while checking you out because no one else was able to? Really?I doubt that something fierce, personally. 

What if it was one of his family calling because someone in his family is sick or dying, Ryuu? Did you even consider that? Guessing no.

Yeah, in London, an ENGLISH major city

I'll let Yiazmat sum everything up nicely, as he's good at that. His direct response to that line of Ryuu's journal is as follows:

“It's also a very fuckin' multicultural city, douchebag. English may be the national language and the most widely spoken, but it ain't an exclusively-used one.”

And this is why Yiazzy is actually my long lost twin brother. Anyway, even pretty circumstantial evidence will back up his statement. For example, Wikipedia's article on London's demographics:

According to the Office for National Statistics, based on 2009 estimates, 69.7 per cent of the 7,753,600 inhabitants of London were White, with 59.5 per cent White British, 2.2 per cent White Irish and 8.0 per cent classified as Other White. Some 13.2 per cent are of South Asian descent, with Indians making up 6.2 per cent of London's population, followed by Pakistanis and Bangladeshis at 2.8 per cent and 2.2 per cent respectively. 2.0 per cent are categorised as "Other Asian". 10.1 per cent of London's population are Black, with around 5.3 per cent being Black African, 4.0 per cent as Black Caribbean and 0.8 per cent as "Other Black". 3.5 per cent of Londoners are of mixed race; 1.8 per cent are Chinese; and 1.7 per cent belong to another ethnic group.

Across London, Black and Asian children outnumber White British children by about six to four in state schools. [...]

Hey, guess what, Ryuu?

You don't get to walk into someone else's house and tell them how to act, how to speak, how to behave or how to dress. That's essentially what you did. A city as large and as clearly diverse as London? Stop and think for a second. There is no way everyone will speak English.

Also, English is one of the hardest languages to learn, with all the homonyms, synonyms, homophones, idioms, etc. It's extremely unreasonable to expect someone to learn to speak English just because you don't speak their language. Moving on again, and I really wish this was the last of it. No, this just gets progressively worse.

Another was from india (I could tell by the mark on her forehead)

THAT'S NOT A SIGN OF BEING INDIAN, IGNORAMUS. THAT'S A BINDI. And guess what? PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF INDIA WEAR THEM. Since you won't get off your high horse about everyone needing to speak English the least you could do is learn to read. The article I linked is a good place to start. God, this crap goes on and on:

and tried to pull a fast one on Stephie's dad about a sign - a sign said two "Fruit Shoot" drinks

On a completely unrelated note, does that sound like a euphemism or what? … Sorry, I had to make at least one joke before I went completely mad.  I'll stop. Back to the BS:

for £1. But she claimed the sign was not there, so he had to go and show her the sign, but even then, she brought a manager. Stephie thinks it's because she can't read the sign

HOW CAN SHE “PULL A FAST ONE” IF SHE HASN'T BEEN IN ENGLAND LONG ENOUGH TO LEARN TO READ THE LANGUAGE? Just because someone doesn't read English doesn't mean they're a moron or a con artist.

Anyhow, the manager made sure he got his discount because "That's what the sign said, so he's entitled to it". But a look over his shoulder showed him the sign got taken down right after, so I guess we got the last deal.

Wow, does he sound disgruntled about that or is it just me? Look, sometimes, signs aren't taken down immediately and this crap happens. It's happened to me, it's happened to you, it's happened to a bunch of people. I'd be glad I was the last one to get it instead of bitching.

So, fast forward a year or so later, he's gone back to the UK and this happens.

More specifically, this:

One scoop of ice cream for £1-80 and a Pizza Hut's "pan pizza" for £10! No thanks...

So after some brief consultation with Yiazmat and some calculations of exchange rates in summer 2011, we worked out that that's roughly $2.50 US for a scoop of ice cream. And that's apparently a medium pizza, which wrks out to roughly $15 US.

Which, considering tax is already worked in over in the UK, is PROBABLY WHAT HE WOULD PAY IN AMERICA FOR A PIZZA AND ICE CREAM, DEPENDING ON TAX AND THE PLACE YOU ATE AT.

Do your research before flapping your cockholster like that,please. (And thank you Mr. Ron White for coining that phrase.)

Right, you're thinking this is all just vaguely xenophobic, right? Yeah, about that... I'd stop reading right about now if racism is a serious trigger for you, actually. As I don't want anyone breaking stuff out of fury.

Because this isn't xenophobia. This is out and out racism. I'm not even gonna try to transcribe this, as it pisses me off pretty badly.  There's a screenshot contained instead.

_{There are... NO words.}

How this particularly awful bit of bigotry came into existence? Well, in this quiz, he refers to his race as 'Cocasion[sic]'.

This lead to someone called Hoodcom asking what Cocasion[sic] is, with good reason. Because, well... It's spelled Caucasian, and as I've already stated, Ryuu's language skills are pretty damn poor. Bordering on 'barely literate' at times, really.

Back to this... Whatever this horrifying display of jerkassery is. This clusterfuck of a racist comment. Hey, that works. So where do I start with this? I think I'll start with implication that there's only three races, because that's actually the least awful.

In Ryuu's mind, I guess "white," "black" and "Asian” are all that matters. Ignoring the fact that "white," "black" and 'Asian' aren't even races. You aren't from Whiteland, Ryuu.  And neither are your ancestors.

And of course, Ryuu ignores the existence of Native Americans (who are an extremely diverse group of people in and of themselves), people of Hispanic descent, Pacific Islanders, Middle Easterners and a whole bunch of other races and cultures that I can't fit in here without making this a HUGE post.

Well, crap. I'm really not looking forward to this, but now we're at the more seriously offensive part of the post. And I have to tackle the rest of it now.

But first, time for a quick break before the worst of it so I can try and put this off a bit more because holy shit this is really uncomfortable for me . Have some of my friends' first impressions when shown the comment:

Yiazmat: "...... Holy....”

Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way: “.... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. Fucking fuck sakes!”

Rinku: “Holy fuck, Ryuu. You don't say shit like that. What the hell is wrong with you?”

A friend of mine offline: “WHAT. WHAT. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT.”

Patch: “WOW. WOW, dude. I... wow, two in one sentence.”

EDIT (6 July '12): itinimac: "WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD IS THAT? That's... Far too much. O.O"

EDIT (7 July 2012): Alethea: ".... If I ever have a child like this, shoot me. And shoot it, because I don't want it running loose in society."

Ryuu, I know this comment was made in 2007, but you were nearly 18 years old.

YOU SHOULD KNOW YOU DON'T CALL ANYONE OF AFRICAN DESCENT WHAT YOU DID AT THAT POINT IN YOUR LIFE. NO ONE BORN BEFORE PROBABLY 1950 SHOULD BE USING THAT PARTICULAR WORD UNLESS THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A SCHOLARSHIP FUND. HOLY SHIT, I AGREE WITH RINKU. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

As if that wasn't enough, he managed to stuff two large doses of bigotry into one fucking sentence. The other remark? Yeah, racism against Asians.

Home furnishings can be oriental. I'm told there's a brand of ramen with a flavor that's described as oriental. BUT A PERSON IS NOT ORIENTAL.

Like with the previous term, that's a definite no-no if you were born after 1950 or so. But for some reason this isn't super-well-known. However, people from Asia are just that: ASIAN. And if you know their actual ancestry or country of origin, even better! In that case, whether the individual is Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc., you should use their nationality instead of just Asian.

Actually, that applies to ANY person. If you know their country of origin/ancestry, use it. Don't just call them [general catchall]. Sometimes they may be [ancestry/country of origin]-[country they/their parents immigrated to], i.e. Chinese-American, Irish-Canadian, etc.

And if you know someone of Native descent and you're aware of their tribe, you say they're from that specific tribe, not Native American. I didn't think I'd ever have to explain this to a fucking adult.

So I could go on all day here, but the long and the short of it is that Ryuu, you are a disgusting person and if you were able to get your head out from your own backside, we would have a lot less shit to throw at you.

Also,, I kind of lied when I said this post had little to nothing to do with Ryuu's sexism. I saw this comment on his page while writing this entry and felt compelled to mention it.

_{Oh for god's sake, are you twelve? No. I'm embarrassed}

_{on your behalf.}

It looks like another round of generic kissing his girlfriend's ass, right? But If you supposedly love someone that much, why not praise her for some of her own attributes? You know, the ones that have nothing to do with you.

Everything about that (except 'she's incredibly generous', and damn that's pretty vague) focuses on how she kisses his ass. He gave us a whole spiel about how he'd sworn a vow to begin dislodging his head from his own rectum, but he's done nothing to live up to it.

Ryuu, you may recall I told you I wouldn't believe a word of you trying to change until you began showing it. You're doing a very poor job in that regard, and still show very visible signs of sexism, racism, xenophobia, homophobia and being an egomaniac. And that's why we've had to add a Bigotry tag.

On a closing vaguely humorous note, while I was screencapping the pretty horrendous racist comment. this article  popped up on dA's journal portal. On how to receive critique and not look like a wankstain. 

Yiazmat's take on the (very kind) article once he'd finished with it:

"Man, it felt like that whole article was directed at Ryuu. That is not a good thing." 

Ain't that the truth.
