The word ‘patronize’ means ‘support’ or ‘visit regularly’. My comment was in no way aggressive. It was blunt, because I don’t want to give you the impression that I will ever change in the ways you want. But I also then gave you suggestions for finding work that might appeal to you more.

You’re the one who came here and announced that my work lacked quality, was all the same, and wasn’t difficult to make. Read your own comment carefully. It’s not constructive criticism; it’s just rude. I know you think it isn’t, and you probably didn’t intend it as such, but it is.

Please understand, hearing some random person I’ve never heard of before coming here and telling me that my work is subpar - but I could be really good if I just abandoned doing what I like to do and illustrated their kink instead - is very annoying. If there’s something you want to see, make it yourself or hire someone. Expecting someone else to drop what they’re doing and do things your way is the height of arrogance.

I take criticism well from people I have interacted with extensively or who are also themselves photomanipulators. But I don’t accept unsolicited advice from random internet strangers.
