Demands
I am continually bemused by the people who comment on someone’s art (mostly on deviantArt… forums tend to get less of this behavior) with what basically amounts to “you should draw more stuff for free because I said so.” Usually these take the form of an otherwise innocuous request (like “could you give me a size-comparison between these two characters?”), but are phrased in such a way as to make it abundantly clear that the commenter demands that you do as they wish, or you’ll be late (as in, the late Dentarthurdent… *cough*). They typically begin with the words “you should…”, as opposed to “could you…” and involve no question marks, simply statements of something that you, as an artist, must do because someone commenting on your art said you should. I mean, it’s not like you had anything else to do anyway, right?
