Geddit? A-Head?

After several months of inactivity, Ryuu finally posted a couple new pics, one of which was The New Path Ahead. Ryuu calls it a practice piece, which is fine. Every artist needs practice, and goodness knows he certainly does. That doesn't mean I'm not going to pick it apart, though, because you're not going to fix mistakes if you aren't aware of them.

Surprisingly, the picture shows a little improvement. I was impressed, at first, that the line art was relatively lively and considerably easier to read, probably because the silhouette is clearer, he erased a lot of the sketch lines, and it looks like he attempted to use line weights.

From the looks of his other pics, though, this appears to be completely accidental. Pity.

The pose isn't very good. It looks okay from the waist up, but Ryuu's attempt at a strong, intimidating, determined walk is ruined by the fact that he's walking like a tightrope walker, with one foot exactly in front of the other, and with weight evenly distributed over both feet (which you can tell because his hips and shoulders are both parallel to the ground). Instead of looking strong, he looks like he could topple over with the slightest push.

Nobody walks like this in real life... except tightrope walkers. Maybe if Ryuu tried to learn about how the human body worked, instead of simply copying the superficial styles of one or two of his favorite artists, this wouldn't be so much of a problem.

It also looks like he's trodding over his own toes, by the way. Lern 2 perspective.

That sword is actually sorta kinda cool ish... which makes me wonder where he ripped it from. Sorry if you don't think that's fair, but when you've been shown to have ripped off every single thing that looks even the slightest bit interesting in your work, you've effectively wrecked the trust of your audience.

What interested me the most, however, was this comment:

_{Yes, I know his head is a bit small... I didn't try to do that, but his face came out well enough I didn't want to ruin it.}

The average adult male is usually drawn between seven-and-a-half and eight heads tall. The latter has Classical roots and is often used to give the figure an air of grace and nobility. Superheroes can be even taller, sometimes nine or even ten heads.

In Japan, depending on the style, adult men are often drawn a little bit shorter, at between five-and-a-half and seven heads.

Ganondorf stands at about seven heads tall, which is pretty average for Western art and puts him on the tall side for Japanese art.

Link -- in Ocarina of Time, at least -- is roughly six heads tall. Since Ryuu is supposed to be a clone of Link, you'd think that would make him six heads tall as well, but for some stupid reason the goddesses decided to pull him around like a Stretch Armstrong doll, because apparently Link was too much of a twig boy for Ryuu's taste.

Actually, despite Ryuu's complaint about the head size, Ryo seems to vary pretty widely in height from six-and-a-half to seven-and-a-half heads tall, probably more in pictures that I didn't bother to measure. He's seven heads tall in this one. As well as in The New Path Ahead:

Which, again, makes him either average or tall, depending on the style. Still well within reason. This makes sense when you consider that Link is only a few inches taller than Zelda, while Ryuu has stated that Zelda only comes up to Ryo's collarbone.

All in all, I'm not really sure what Ryuu is complaining about, since the head size isn't even unusual, and we don't actually know what a standard size for Ryo's head is, since Ryuu knows nothing about consistency -- except how to be consistently mediocre.

So then why does his head look so small?

BECAUSE THE REST OF HIM IS RIDICULOUSLY HUGE.

This is something that even Ryuu recognizes. For instance, look at the size of his hands and feet. Now compare them to the size of his head. Compare them to the size of Zelda's head. Squids and I often joke about how he could cup an entire person's face with one hand and crush/suffocate them to death. Those things are lethal weapons, yo. They're also twice the size that they should be.

Why is that?

Because if you shrink them down to a size that better fits the proportion of his head and height...

 ...it looks absofuckinglutely silly. Positively Liefeldian, even -- though I think Ryuu actually draws better than Liefeld, which is pretty hilarious.

Ryo's wrists and ankles are bigger than his hands and feet. He could hogtie a pair of linebackers and haul them away on those shoulders of his. There's absolutely no way that Ryo has a normal human's bone structure, because if he did, not only have his shoulders dislocated, but with that much muscle packed under his arms he wouldn't even be able to reach his own dick to pee.

This is all so obvious that even Ryuu knew that he had to compensate for all that width. So he gave Ryo a huge pair of ears, made the hands and feet bigger, and then made up an ad hoc explanation that they were for hearing and grip and stability, even though the cliché is that bigger hands and feet are a sign of clumsiness.

Okay, so what if we do the reverse, ignore the muscles, and draw the head to match the proportions of the hands and feet?

...I sure am saying 'hands and feet' a lot.

We get a short-ass Ryo who's barely five-and-a-half heads tall because half his chest is missing, is what. He's shorter than Link at this point.

Which, you know, in itself is fine. Being a short-ass person, myself -- a staggering three heads tall -- I think the idea of a short man bulking it up has the potential to be funny and interesting. But this is a little too clever for Ryuu, and would involve -- gasp! -- acknowledging a flaw. It clearly wasn't what he was going for, since he routinely presents Ryo as some kind of gentle giant who towers over Zelda and everyone else. And, you know, half his chest is missing.

All in all, this just demonstrates the problems one faces when you have no idea what you're doing and no concept of standard anatomy. You end up with caricatures of caricatures without even realizing that you're doing it. When your successes turn out to be nothing more than "happy accidents" it's little wonder that shit like this happens.

And by the way, while I understand the fear of erasing something you did well and having it turn out worse when you redraw it, that's usually a sign that you need to work on it. And you aren't going to get there by not drawing it. It doesn't matter how "nice" his face looks if it throws the rest of the picture completely off.

Mini Anatomy Rant #1

Mini Anatomy Rant #1: Ryo Can't Count.

 

Ebony Dark’Ness Demensia Raven Way here with a short, light-hearted article (as light hearted as you can get mocking a racist sexist homophobic bigot anyways) bringing a new series to the table. Yes, it’s not part of the Ryo in Denial series, I am very busy working and don’t have time between my job and my Draco Blow-Up doll to write as long as an article as I want, and I don’t want to pump out half-assed work. That’s what Ryo does. I want to be nothing like Ryo. At all.

No, this article is the first in a short series of rants about Ryo and his shitty anatomy. Why? Because this shit bothers me. A lot. It’s so bad and it’s so in your goddamn face that I can’t take it anymore. So I’m going to be doing some mini-rants on how bad it is. This first one is starting with something very basic: Numbers.

Ryo doesn’t know what numbers are apparently, nor can he use them properly.

Why do I say this? Well, take a look at this.

 

This! Is! PROPER ANATOMYYYYYYY!!!!!! *Kicks Ryo into a hole*

This is a “six pack.” It is aptly named a “six pack” for one small reason.

There are six of them.

Six



No, Not ten, Ryo. Six.

 

No, not Eight. Six.

No, Ryo, six. There’s six of them.

SIX!!!

SIIIIIIIIIIX!!!!!! (also what the fuck is with Ryo and giving Ryuu that fucking frowny face? It’s not sexy, he looks like he really has to take a shit.)

NOT ELEVEN HOW THE FUCK DID YOU EVEN PULL THAT OFF?!?!?! Or is it 12? 14? Ryo, chances are if you can count up to 14 abs? Drawing: You’re doing it wrong.

In conclusion? Ryo is just as fucking dumb when it comes to numbers as he is when it comes to…. Anything except being a goddamn BIGOT. That or he somehow thinks the number six is eeeeeeeviiiiiillll and must be avoided at all costs because of the whole “number of the beast” thing. Ryo, your shitty artwork is the closer to Satan than the number 6 is. And so is your anti-gay bullshit.

Ebony Dark’Ness Demensia Raven Way signing off. For now.

The Tale of the White Bigot Knight

EBONY IN “THAT ONE WHERE SHE CALLS OUT THE FUNDIE BITCH WHO KISSES RYUU’S ASS ALL THE TIME”

HI EVERYONE. Ebony Dark’ness Awww fuck it here giving you yet another article that’s not part of the “Ryuu in Denial” series because fuck continuity. I’m sorry but recent events have stepped on a raw fuckin’ nerve and I’m about to splatter the brains of the online reputation of one of Ryuu’s fangirls all over the fuckin’ wall. No, there won’t be pictures like all my other articles because I’m not fuckin’ around this time.

I’m pissed, ladies and gentlemen. That’s all there is to it.

This is not meant to be a funny article (though some of you will no doubt piss your pants laughing at how bad I rip this fuckin’ bitch a new one) and it’s calling a stupid, bigoted lady-pig out on her stupid, bigoted lady-pig bullshit.

The lady-pig in question is none other than a prep (as us goths like to call them) by the name of “Stormsworder.” No, I’m not giving you the link to her DA because you can find it your damn self. Just type her stupid name before “Deviantart.com” and hit enter. It’s not hard, figure it out Copernicus. All I know about this girl is that she has the same bigoted views as Ryuu’s (hence all her white-knighting and ass-kissing) and that she’s apparently suffering from writers-block which I HOPE never goes away because her writing SUCKS DONKEY BALLS.

But I’m not here to just spout random insults for no reason. That’s not my style. My point here is to rant about one thing this person is doing that is REALLY upsetting to me: She’s making Christians look bad. Very bad. She’s reinforcing the stereotype along with Ryuu. Oh, and she’s also being a fucking hypocrite. Allow me a few paragraphs to explain.

First of all, I’m sure it’s not (or at least shouldn’t be) a secret that I’m the token Christian on the blog. No, I don’t go to church to eat crackers or drink wine every single Sunday. No I don’t say a “hail mary” everytime I say a bad word. No I don’t even say grace before every meal. But that does not a good Christian make. Ryuu and Stormsworder prove that. They are bigoted, hateful, disrespecting and love to judge people. Yes they may go to church every weekend and thank god for whatever they put in (or whatever comes out of) their mouth.

But ladies and gentlemen lemme tell you something. You may say that whatever you say is in the name of god. Or in the name of Buddha. Or in the name of Yoda or Barney the Dinosaur or I don’t give a fuckiuss from the desert of tittyfucks. But the fact is, if what you’re saying is shit, whoever you claim it to be from doesn’t change it from that. Shit is shit. And it’s your shit, folks. Not gods, not fuckiuss’, not the potted plant on the other side of the rooms. Yours. Your mouth, your shit.

... only one, I swear.

Saying the shit coming out of your mouth is from god is no more valid than saying “I have a dream” was said by Abraham Lincoln in Star Wars: Revenge of the Crab People during his epic Katana battle with Lex Luthor. It just. Doesn’t. Mean. Anything. Especially when what you’re saying goes against the bottom line of the teachings the person you’re supposedly quoting tried to hammer in. Saying Jesus said “Gay people are disgusting, icky and just plain wrong” is just as believable and likely as saying Rosa Parks got kicked off the bus for screaming “White Power” at the top of her lungs.

It just didn’t happen. Sorry, guys.

But what DID Jesus say? Well, here’s just a few examples.

“Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."

“He that is among you without sin, let him cast the first stone.”

So, in layman’s terms, A.) God is far more concerned that you treat everyone with the respect you’d want for yourself than he is about John fucking Harold and B.) Unless you are perfect, keep your fuckin’ mouth shut. And Ryuu admits he’s not perfect. Well, if you call saying what people want to hear so they’ll take pity on your pathetic whining “Admitting.” But close e-fuckin’-nough.

So why is it that Bitchface one and Bitchface two feel they have the right to hate on gays? And other races? And anyone who is not white, straight, cisgendered men? Because they think they’re gods perfect fucking children and they can say whatever they want in his name.

IF YOU’RE BREAKING THE MAIN COMMANDMENT FROM JESUS YOU ARE NOT FOLLOWING HIS TEACHINGS. JUST SAYING.

Yes, you are children of god. But so is the gay guy down the street. And the “rude” Indian guy in Britain you disliked so much. And every black guy you called a “negro.” And the women you order into your kitchens to make you pie and send to walmart to buy your lined paper for your “professional” art. And the people of other religions, who aren’t necessarily wrong just because they don’t share our faith. And yes, even the foul-mouthed Goth chick writing this. We’re all children of God. And you have NO RIGHT to differentiate between us. God loves all his children, even if you don’t. And nothing makes him more upset than when a group of his children decide they’re his favorites and spit on the rest of his children.

And before you pull the “well yeah he agrees with us because you’re hating on us” card, no. I’m not “hating” on you. I’m calling you out on your egotistical bullshit and trying to show you that how you treat others is WRONG. And just because there are a few of us who are brave enough to defend the people who need defending doesn’t make us the “bad guys”, “trolls” or whatever else you guys want to call us.

I’m not here because I hate you. I’m here because I love all my friends. Be them Gay, Straight, atheist, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim or whatever else. Regardless of Gender or Ethnicity. I love my friends. And what you’re doing to them, SAYING about them, makes me angry. And what makes me ANGRIER is that you’re slapping Gods name on your insults.

When you hurt my friends, you’re hurting me. And I’m here to try and make you stop. And if I have to drag your egos through a minefield and toss them into an organ grinder, I will. If I have to bring your bigotry to light and show everyone the pigs you’re being, I will. If I have to start a fucking Encyclopedia Dramatica article about you, I will. I’ll do whatever it takes. I’ll destroy your reputations if it means my gay, lesbian, trans and bi friends get a break from your shit.

Don’t believe me? Just try me.

No, I won’t make shit up about you. I haven’t been. NONE OF US have been. We’re taking shit YOU GUYS SAID and bringing it to the attention of others. That’s all there is to it. Didn’t want people knowing you said gays were “icky and just plain wrong”? You shouldn’t have fuckin’ said it. And you shouldn’t keep defending it if it’s such an embarrassment to you guys.

And for fuck sakes you shouldn’t have started the whole “Straight Pride” movement. You know who tried something like that? The White Supremacists and their “White Power” stance against African Americans who just wanted to be free from slavery. And don’t say “you can’t compare those two.” What you’re doing to Gays is what the KKK do to African Americans, the Jewish, Women, ect ect. Straight Pride" for protecting the right to stand against gay rights is no different than "White Pride" for protecting the right to stand against African-American rights.

You’re in the same league as these people. Don’t you dare think anything otherwise. And if you don’t want to be called a bigot you shouldn’t act like a bigot.

OH, SPEAKING OF WHICH, HERE’S MY SECOND POINT TO THIS RANT.

Your hypocrisy. It’s absolutely disgusting.

Stormsworder recently contacted our friend’s tumblr Stupid Shit Ryuu Says. And yes dear, we know it was you. If you’re going to call us out on shit stop being a pussy about it and confront us as yourself because we’re going to figure out who you are eventually. But this is what the arrogant bitch had to say:

“So... are you guys ever going to stop trolling this guy and just leave him alone? Since I think it's pretty atrocious as human beings to mercilessly target someone.”

Okay, so… It’s not atrocious as “humans” that you guys mercilessly targeted gay people (some of who were your FRIENDS) and called them “Icky” and “wrong” and constantly citing your distaste for who they were, hiding behind your religion and slapping god’s name on your every word because you guys are such fucking PUSSIES that you can’t own up to them and call them your own.

… But it’s atrocious for us to directly quote you and say what you’re doing is wrong.

Uh huh.

Also, just because you say we’re “trolling” doesn’t make us trolls. And I’m fessing up to being a SUPER MEGA TROLL from time to time. I take a lot of pleasure in the art of trolling. And I would NEVER group what we’re doing here in that category.

There’s a large, mega, super king Kamehameha difference between trolling and directly quoting someone and calling them out on their bullshit.

What the Pirate Community (which you incorrectly affiliated with us) did was trolling. Posting pictures of a pregnant lady and saying that’s what you did to Zelda just to piss you off was trolling. Hacking your account and posting gay porn and swearwords is fucking hilarious Trolling. What we are doing is, in no way, trolling. It’s showing everyone what you really are, using things YOU HAVE SAID.

Just FYI? Jesus also said "Judge not lest you be judged. If you judge, so will you be judged." Ryuu is the most judgemental person I've ever know. He judges gays, trans, lesbians, bisexuals, ethnic minorities in and outside of the US, women and even fat people. The only people he hasn't judged in some negative way are himself and his daddy. Guess what? He's getting judged right the fuck back. And so are you.

You claim you want this all to end. You claim that we're immature trolls with no lives. You claim that you and fuckface just want peace from us. You also claim that we're cowards for not only keeping the blog going but for not confronting Ryuu one on one in private (which we've done with no success.) And yet here you are, publicly attacking us while hiding your face with the fan of anonymity. (which is disturbingly thin, we can still see you.) You wanted to have a presence with us so bad? Well good fuckin’ news: here’s your debut article.

Just so that I make my position clear? Here’s me ripping apart a post you made back in 2010 where you ran at us half-cocked thinking you’d make us feel bad. FYI I did feel bad. For you. For making such an idiot out of yourself. But then I remembered that doing just that is something Ryuu’s proud of, so you must take pride in being stupid too. Here, just to soothe your ego, I’ll tear your arguments apart and by the time I’m done your picture is gonna be right next to the “idiot” definition in the dictionary.

“Alright, this is getting to a point where you guys just need to stop.”

Why?

“There's a difference between constructive criticism and just plain out trolling.”

We’re not trolling. And Ryuu’s far past “constructive criticism.” If that was all it took to fix him we wouldn’t fuckin’ be here.

“And just because he didn't come up with a method of creating characters like you did makes him a bad writer/creator.”

He IS a bad writer/creator. All of his characters are either rip-offs of actual, licensed characters that people took effort to come up with or two characters smooshed together. And then he makes them perfect. That’s not talent. At all. That’s Anti-talent.

“Everyone starts off somewhere, but in time they work on creating what they desire.”

First of all, Ryuu hasn’t moved ANYWHERE since he started. He’s still pumping out the same half-assed garbage drawings he’s been doing since he was 14. And “what they desire” isn’t always good. In fact, what Ryuu desires is a god-like self-insert. That’s the epitome of bad writing.

“Now, his characters aren't some Sonic recolors like you tend to find all over the web (and even have funny YouTube rant videos about).”

He took shadow the hedgehog, gave him a few more spikes, made him a different color and called him “Spike.” (Because he’s just as able to come up with decent names as he is at getting pregnant without a uterus.) That, my friend, is a recolor. And I’m VERY surprised there are no videos mocking his shit, it’s terrible!!!

“Insult Christianity as a whole? Listen, it's his own convictions (and my own as well) that we aren't fond of certain things such as homosexuality because of our beliefs.”

Fuck your beliefs. Seriously. They have nothing to do with Christianity. Christianity preaches love and acceptance, not “WTF is this, Sodom and Gomorra? GAYS ARE ICKY WICKY SICKY!!!”

“When you point out how he didn't accept a gay character, it's because of our belief system.”

Which is horrifically flawed. And again, has nothing to do with Christianity. At all.

“We have a right to do it, just as I would have a right to deny a person to play on our clan gaming server because they're using an improper name.”

You could argue the same for banning African Americans. Seriously, take your rants about gays and change the words “Homosexual” to “Black.” Just see how lovely you sound saying “Black people are icky and just plain wrong!” and yes, the two sentiments ARE COMPARABLE. There’s no difference.

“When you own the site, you can do what you wish. Don't like it? Bring it up in a proper complaint to the person and work something out.”

“I CAN BE A RACIST BECAUSE IT’S MY TREEHOUSE!!! NO BLACK PEOPLE ALLOWED!!! AND NO GIRLS EITHER, GIRLS ARE ICKY AND GROSS AND WE DON’T WANT THEIR COOTIES!!!” Yeah, real fucking mature.

“Not closed to diplomacy? Look at this entire website. Why would someone honestly want to talk to you when you have a blog about how much they fail at stuff?”

Ryuu does fail at stuff. But that’s a moot point. We’d feel bad if what we were saying about him (and you) was unreasonable, but it’s not. And maybe Ryuu doesn’t wanna talk to us because he’s scared we’re going to call him out on his bullshit face to face rather than behind his back? (and possibly turn him gay while we’re at it? Because you know, that’s a rational argument too.)

“That's far from being civilized and proper, seriously. Think about it.”

Like you know what being Proper is like. Here’s a hint: Calling gay people “icky” isn’t proper. Acting like a pouty two year old when a gay person comes along isn’t Proper. Drinking your tea with your pinkie-finger sticking out doesn’t cover up your ugly inner homophobe. And neither does your lack of swearing. I’m more proper than you at this point because I treat people like they’re fucking PEOPLE.

“Not everyone is like how you act. You can't know how a person will react.“

We do know how Ryuu will act: like a baby who didn’t want to be called out on his crap. Like you. And no, everyone’s not the same. Some people accept people for who they are, and some people are BIGOTS.

“You call him a bigot, which would mean he's intolerant of others.”

HE IS A BIGOT AND HE IS INTOLERANT OF OTHERS. HE’S SAID SO HIMSELF THEN ORDERED PEOPLE TO BE “TOLERANT OF HIS INTOLERANCE.” FUCK YOU.

“He's actually a pretty tolerant guy, and he doesn't go around making whole things to bash others.”

BULLSHIT. He made an entire TOPIC Calling gay people “icky and just plain wrong” than had a full temper tantrum when someone made a gay character. You’re a terrible liar.

“THIS is a prime example of intolerance.”

Damn right we’re intolerant. We’re intolerant of him being an intolerant asshole. That’s not exactly an irrational reaction.

“Just because he started out with his characters one way doesn't mean he's a copy-cat.”

So just because his character started out as dark-link doesn’t make him a copy-cat? No it doesn’t, actually. Copy-cats don’t BLATANTLY ALTER AN ACTUAL CANON CHARACTER AND SUE THEM UP, CALLING IT THEIR OWN. That is faaaaar beyond the pale of “copy-cat.”

“If that WAS the case, it would be like one of those horrible "self-insert" Zelda fanfics that plague fanfiction.net with horrible writing and pathetic plot.”

…… It’s not like one of those horrible “self-insert” Zelda fanfics that plague fanfiction.net with horrible writing and pathetic plot. It IS one of those horrible “self-insert” Zelda fanfics that plague fanfiction.net with horrible writing and pathetic plot.

You’re so good at pointing out bullshit I almost don’t have to do it for you.

“Now, why do you expect him to find this? What was your whole true goal in making this?”

We are HOPING that you two will haul your heads out of your asses and realize what dicks you’ve been all this time. Until that happens, we’ll keep going, too.

“Because first sight at seeing this, the only thing you really come across is a little gang of immature trolls.”

…. You seriously called us “immature” even after Ryuu’s little “Gays are icky!!” tantrum? Seriously? Not to mention that you approached us a while ago for a chat, yet when Cala took you up on your offer you ran away with your tail between your legs. That’s pretty fucking immature too, isn’t it? Little miss Nicky Nicky Nine Doors? And the time you bitched out someone who had nothing to do with our blog?

“yes, there is some critique, but this isn't purely critique. If you wanted to do actual helpful critique, you wouldn't have used language that seems more of bashing.”

We know how far “Asking Nicely” gets us with Ryuu. NOWHERE. And quite frankly, I don’t see kissing Ryuu’s ass and pussy footing around his serious issues like he’s said people should doing it either. He deserves a good punch in the ego.

“He shouldn't have to come to your territory after the actions you've taken. Honestly, I say he shouldn't. Talk to him one on one or something, not on the internet for all to see where this can be some big side war. Those never end well.”

Really? We should have to chase him around for an apology? And we shouldn’t let everyone know what a disgusting pig he is being and just let him attack people behind the scenes and make it feel like it’s their fault? Really? No. He wants us to stop, he fuckin’ comes to us and gives us a reason to. Fuck you and your “OMG I DUN WANNA WAAAAAAR” bullshit. If you didn’t want a “war” you shouldn’t have started one by attacking your friends and other people for their sexual orientation. (I assure you we are not at war with you. You’re picking fights with us and we’re just sitting back here shaking our heads at you. And we’re good to go at this for a looooooooong time so get comfortable.)

“Just my two cents on this matter.”

Your two cents made no sense. You shoulda just kept your fuckin’ mouth shut, sweetheart.

Reading further, you say your own brother is gay. I think it’s pretty disgusting that you’d come onto OUR page, put your own brother on the line saying “WE DON’T HATE HIM WE HATE WHAT HE’S DOING.” Lemme give you something sincere from the bottom of my heart.

FUCK. YOU.

I’d understand what you said if it was about your brother, I dunno… Robbing people and getting into trouble with the law. But he just happens to love other men. WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT? And I bet your family shames him to no end. I bet if he were to get married, none of you would show up because you can’t handle two men on top of the wedding cake.

You, of ALL people, having a family member who is gay, should understand that what you’re saying about gay people is WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!!! And don’t pin it on your fuckin’ faith. You, Ryuu and everyone else with your ideas are just fucking intolerant pigs who, to keep up appearances, claim that intolerance to come from God.

MAYBE GOD BROUGHT A GAY FAMILY MEMBER INTO YOUR LIFE SO YOU’D CHANGE YOUR MIND AND STOP BEING IGNORANT. EVER THINK OF THAT?

Maybe God wanted you to experience the hurt and pain of being singled out for something you CANNOT CONTROL and being called “Gross” and “Icky” and “Just plain wrong” when you’re just like everyone else on the inside. Unfortunately it seems it didn’t work. You’re not ending the hurt. You’re adding to it.

It disgusts me that, while your poor brother who deserves nothing but acceptance and tolerance is being hurt by people like Ryuu, you’re on here DEFENDING RYUU’S BIGOTRY.

I have a challenge for you. Ask your brother. Ask him how much it hurts when he knows, in the back of his mind, that no matter how much you claim to “love” him, you don’t accept him for who he is. How much it hurts to know you’d love nothing but to change something about him because he’s dysfunctional or broken. Ask him how it feels to be the “wrong” one in the family.

Ask him and see how long it takes him to break down into tears and tell you about the unending pain and agony. And it won’t take him long. And I hope you feel EXTREMELY horrible about yourself. Hopefully horrible enough to change.

Then, AND ONLY THEN, can you come into OUR house and tell US how inhuman and “atrocious” we are being for defending innocent people like your brother from people like Ryuu. I guarantee you, if god exists like Jesus says he does, he loves your brother a fuckload more than you and Ryuu do. He loves him because he’s gay, not in spite of it.

Until then, this is Ebony leaving with a smile, a wink, and a sincere “go fuck yourself.”
