  Every once in a while I think it's appropriate to thank friends and followers for just being nice...yeah it's something we kinda take for granted and it SHOULD be the rule, but sometimes it deserves some gratitude.  I know some of you might think I'm a dinosaur when I ask you not to F-bomb in your comments on my pages, or other expectations I have for the comments like lack of rape jokes or whatever seems amusing on the internet these days.  I have my own reasons and I prefer my closest friends and family not see such things on my work, but it really does show me what solid and nice people you are when you respect my wishes on those points when asked politely not to do them.  It shows maturity and that you are thinking of the feelings of others, and not just your own.
  The other side of the coin are people who throw hissy fits and and tantrums when you ask such things, what's commonly known as the "butthurt" fanboys.  I have no patience anymore for these.  Yeah, we get it.  You hate X and you think Y and Z are stupid.  We get it.  Move on.  When I ask you to tone it down or just ignore things you hate for the benefit of others' enjoyment, there's no reason to get offended.  If your knee jerk reaction is to get angry because I make a request like that, you don't really respect my work or care about the art, you just want an excuse to be an angry fanboy and vent your own frustrations. 
  I'm tired of it, it's not becoming of a mature fan and it dampens the joy of the fandom in general.
 So THANK YOU sincerely for all of you who have been friendly and good enough to respect my wishes.  It shows a ton more character than being the stereotypical angry fanboy.  It also encourages me in my work and putting out more kaiju and comic related material, because an artist loves to reciprocate  good feelings.
 Sincerely,

Sounds like you hit the same wall I did about 10 years back in the kaiju community. The amount of complaining and anger that "fans" vent gets to that blood curdling level. So much that it actually starts to wear on your own health. I know I was getting a headache from listening to it.

But I really appreciate all the work you put out there that deals with pretty much anything. You have passion and it shows. And that makes me smile and reminds me that there are more than just dumb, screaming fans out there.

I am personally with you on the language of overall demeanor of folks. We create videos and art and stories that should be positive. Why else would someone want to watch or look at something that is nothing but negativity. I get that enough at work and real life. Why would I spend my free time and look at something for entertainment purposes that is nothing more than someone yelling through text or a video screen?

Anyway...good work so far! :D
