TLDR: Did any of my Bimbabe Bad Ends offend you? Please vote, it is very important to me to know!
LONG READ: As usual this is for the $5 and up patrons (as is one of your perks to vote). As I am sure the majority of you know from my work, I am a progressive liberal in my views as my stories show via the multitude of people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, to the LGBTQ characters, to the anti-establishment/anti-corporate metaphors, to the undermining of current organized religions, and more! Mwa ha ha ha! I am quite the inclusive evil, shadowy entity!
However, all that aside, I also know that my art (meaning both the visual and my writing and concepts) can be offensive. In fact, as I just pointed out, I have probably offended some fans on different things, religious, political, or otherwise, throughout the 2 million words and some 50,000 pictures worth of content available as of this post. However, to the general public, imagine how offensive much of my work would be, due to the nature of the different mature concepts that can be denoted and portrayed- and as you know, my own family disowned me back in 2008 over my sexuality. So, obviously they are offended simply because I am who I am, not by some choice, but by my very inherent nature. And, you all know I created the Anaxverse FOR that very reason- so that no one with our sexuality and fantasies would feel alone, isolated, or despised.
Ah yes, rambling Anax, the usual. So, to get to the point! I had a patron play the new Bimbabe release of Giggle Night- which you all have access to now, and I was accused of being racist for “black facing” Trixie. I tried to explain to him that scientifically there are no different races of people, that just like gender, race is a social construct and we are all of the human race with different amounts of skin melanin. I also tried to explain that I did not dehumanize or demean anyone of any “race” whatsoever. I also did not make any stereotypical or insulting characters nor intended any harm. However, this accusation DEEPLY wounded my heart today. I have never been called racist before, and I honestly, truly, do not feel what I did was racist or even, in my opinion, socially distasteful. If a deer mutant infects Trixie she gets the melanin and other biological mutations of a deer mutant. Or a cow, rabbit, or any other animal or monster. The Bimbabes (while looking like beautiful women) are, in fact, contagious mutants, and their xenopox infections would work the same way. And rambling again…
SO, since this fan was offended, I wanted to hold a poll and ensure that I had not, unknowingly offended a giant amount of my fans! Being autistic, I can think of things differently than neurotypical people, and being as progressive as I am, I can overlook the feelings of those with more conservative or emotional views. I know from literally talking directly to some of you that I have fans from ALL OVER THE WORLD. I have fans of every amount of skin melanin from little to lots. But, while all human, you all have different ethnic backgrounds, cultures you identify with, and more, and while my work- all of it, and my very SELF, is probably offensive to the general population of people on Earth, YOU fans matter to me. Your feelings mean the most to me. Without you, the Anaxverse could not thrive as it does! So PLEASE, I am begging each one of you investors, VOTE on this poll. Be honest! Let me know if these Bad Ends were offense to you and should be removed. If I have to, I will cut the Bimbabes out of the game and lore. I will never change my art, never yield to conservatism, but I will definitely remove it, hiding it away, if I was in the wrong, though.
