Re: You have NOTHING to complain about

Curing yourself? Society won't accept a "cure", so why should you if you know when to keep your willy in your pants whenever little miss blond cutie in a pink mini skirt skips by? Why don't you tell the jack-asses to fuck off instead?

In fact, as I said to Dissident, I don't see this as a disease so I cannot be cured. I just presented that as one possibility of what might be expected of you if you are to friends with a child.

As far as that hardware store job goes, don't you think you have a better purpose than that? And relating to you being "cured," you're adept at drawing fantasy LGs and that Witch girl you drew was showing a bit too much cheek for people to consider you as a "moralistic upright citizen." What I'm saying is own your attraction and rewrite the sexual mores through what you do best.

Maybe I do have a better purpose, but that doesn't put money in my pocket or food on my table. As for my drawing, it is no more immoral than all the naked cherubs floating around on the ceiling of the Vatican or the cutesy cards with naked babies I've seen at Wal-Mart. I used a girl from a fashion photo for the model and she was wearing pajamas. The only thing I changed from the photo was a snippet of sleeve you could see in the photo. That's it. That bit of behind was just as visible in the photo as in my artwork. Should I put the photo up on my Photobucket for comparison? But most of the people in my life do consider me an upright citizen, at least where it matters. Some people may be dense, but most can recognize that there's a vast difference between drawing a fictional child in her skivvies vs. actively fighting for the right to have sex with a real one. They're not even close to the same thing.

In any case, where is my better purpose useful? I get by drawing portraits here and there for people, but I offer my artwork practically for free at GC, where you'd think people would want it most. I've yet to have a single person take me up on my offer to send them a screensaver or whatnot for $20. That's my 'higher purpose' at work for you. No one here is even going to help support me or my work; why should I expect society to do so?
