Kiwi Farms
Two relatively minor but interesting finds from Jay's dA activity.
Firstly, a post in a dA forum thread about popularity. Jay is starting to wonder whether his childhood dream of achieving glory and fame by creating a cartoon might possibly be unrealistic.
Secondly, Jay has been indulging in his favourite pastime of cluttering the comments section of Tom Preston posts. In a display of knightly bravery he calls out his erstwhile sempai for hypocrisy and trollage.

Call me stupid and everything, but what exactly is the point this comic is trying to make?
It's just pissing off a whole lot of people, calling them sexist and whatnot... just for a Ocuclus Rift pun that isn't even that funny :/

"Yup" as in; intentionally pissing off a whole lot of people?
Why?

Wait, woah woah woah woah...Let's rewind that for a minute and I'm going to quote you on this:
"Cuz it's funny seeing people getting worked up over nothing."
Now, I could get a legion of people correcting me on this (and I'd welcome every one of them IF I am wrong), but is this not the definition of a "Troll"? I'm not talking cyber bully who hurdles death-threats or makes unofficial wikis devoted towards making quirks look bad. I'm talking about mischievous pranksters that are the true "trolls" of the web. From my understanding, that's exactly what a "troll" does: gets people angry for no intention other than "for the lulz."
And I disagree with the notion that a "strawman" argument which has resulted in the backfire consequence of being branded a hypocrite should be considered "getting worked up over nothing."
And I feel confident my research is correct, as I've gone to THE Wikipedia, the official worldwide library: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%2…
So, my good bear, as a loyal fan of yours, I am compelled to ask: have you openly admitted to becoming a troll?!
Noteworthy is another manifestation of Jay's belief that Wikipedia is "the official worldwide library". What might happen, I wonder, if a well-sourced, NPOV article on MotLW or Jay himself would find their way onto the Official Wiki?

How popular do you consider yourself to be? Very, not-that-much, barely?
And how does this impact you?
Personally, I think I'm one of the many unknown artists, with traffic that goes around the 20 views each day. Not getting that many comments either.
Still, that doesn't make me want to stop producing my drawings
I find them a fun hobby. Sure, it can sometimes feel a bit awful to not get that many opinions from others, but I got me self a couple of watchers/friends who give me interesting and amusing conversations
As long as I get to hear from them, I feel happy

I feel I am slowly rising. And by slowly, I mean as slow as a glacier. This impacts me because I become a prime target for any shenanigans that involve defaming me for all my quirks and kinks. I wrote a massive lecture about it here:
Fame's EffectFor anyone who's here about my streaming, the schedule is undecided because I want to know what's best for YOU! I'm giving you this chance because I want to try and get my concurrent viewer count significantly past 10 (the usual cap is at 12). As for production, if you're curious of what I face, there's a hint in the emote mood at the bottom of the journal.
On a personal note, I got one or two phone calls about my job applications. Let's see what happens with them!
Now then, the big topic of discussion! And I'm sure all the bad people are watching this, so despite always going with my gut, I consciously know I need to be very careful with my wording. Actually, they'll say bad things about me no matter what I do, and they'll have the boldness to bring to my attention the existence of said bad things. So screw it, I'm just going to be me, and put down my entire train of thought in unabridged detail as is customary Golden Knight fashion.
To start, I made a comment on th
Then again, this lecture focuses on the negative side too heavily. There are benefits, such as making a few friends and once in a while seeing genuinely awesome fan-art. I've wanted to make an epic cartoon with the hopes of reaching stardom for the power and glory, but at the rate this is going, I'm not sure if my childhood dreams were founded on the most proper basis. I mean, with the small returns of current from years of planning and preparation, I almost feel like it's not yet worthwhile.

Glaciers are pretty slow :l
That's an interesting article
I can agree with it in the sense that famous people tend to get it harder, critics-wise. People can be quite evil :U
I've slowly gotten a fair amount of fan-arts
It feels pretty nice.
And I don't really have any ambitious goals as of now, at least, fame-related.
I'm pretty cool being your average man in the eyes of the common public
