Pallet Cleanser

Certain 'issues' have been bugging the hell out of me and only an illustration such as this helps calm me down. 

To understand why you may need to know a thing of two about me.  To those who watch me already this might be nothing new to those who consider themselves 'mainstream' you will most likely choose not to understand.

I hate bigots, racists, double standards (especially when i find them in myself) and when people act like their own "negative stereotype"

to me antho and xeno characters do not represent the inferior beings that 'Mainstream' media always portrays them as.  They represent 'people who look different' and as i was raised not to be a bigot or a racist and to treat all people as equals with different skills and abilities.  so i do not like "avataring" or "true sighting" or other transformation stories used to side step the "we look different from each other so we cannot accept each other." to me that is the same as taking the classic "Guess who's coming to dinner" and taking the main character who is a Black man and at the end of the movie magically turning him into a white man so that the parents of the woman he loves have their own racist notions satisfied.

 My Personal experience with EVERY mainstream art director (note that i am counting face to face and actual conversions, not simply 'no response submissions') or professional Mainstream artist has been met with extreme negativity when they find i draw anthros 'for myself' even when i do not have them in my portfolio.  in other words it does not matter how good, fast or eager to please the director i am, it only matters that my personal work is not 'kosher'

for the other end of the spectrum i have mercifully been "left alone" by most of those who choose to act like the "negative stereotype" of the Fandom, but i have deleted posts based off 'attacks' in the past and that 'double standard' still rankles me.  most other events i have only seen on the outskirts and so therefore can only consider them as supposition and opinion.

so you are probably wondering how this illustration is a 'pallet cleanser'  for all this angst?

simple.... it is the exact opposite to what is making me mad.

there, mindless rant over please continue with you lives
