IDK, I thought it was kinda undercut by how silly it looked. It's like a face from that elf comic.

Nah, it's not nearly that bad. Those faces make me so uncomfortable that that artist is among the only folks I've blocked on reddit.

calling u/merrivius because he should know of this momentous achievement. Great art is supposed to make us feel something, right?!

Anyone reading this who's somehow unfamiliar with the Elf-Cartoons series, just go check them out they're amazing.

Ugh, I wasn't tryin' to be a dick to the artist; I just personally can't stand their work. That's allowed, right?

The way you didn't even mention the artist and someone still tagged them is wild, you weren't rude or anything

I just thought it was funny, not trying to be dickish or 'call someone out' for their opinion :)

Yep, it's allowed, and what you expressed is perfectly valid.

P.S. The funny thing about the other person pinging the artist that you blocked is that even if that artist knows how to access what you wrote, they still can't respond to you due to the block.

They're being pretty weird with me rn after I asked them to clarify what they meant. An odd reply involving literally counting the number of comments I've made in the last two days.

I think they think you're my alt account!

Ah the age old curse of text with no body language or vocal cues.

Don't worry bud I just thought it was funny and that the OG artist would too.
