Its pretty simple.
My cover art got my submission rejected on RR for being "incredibly sexual" despite the fact shes fulky covered with no skin showing below the neck, right? She was wearing a form fitting space suit and she was a curvy girl who may be a little overweight, but not enough to be chubby or fat. (It was approved without issue here on SH).
The space suit was similar to the space suits in Gundam Wing ect. Form fitting. Very much like a scuba diver suit actually.
Then Muffin said the image was sexual.
Which is projection. Doesn't mean I think hes a pervert or a bad person. Just means he was attributing an internal thought or feeling to something outside of he-himself. In this case, I didnt make the image with that intention, and aside from the fact other people find her body shape to be sexy, it wasn't meant to be sexual by nature.
Muffin then accused me of making a personal attack, which immediately made me disengage from further conversation on the topic because we arent going to agree, and he's making it out like I was harassing him when I was just saying what any Psych 101 professor or student would say. Its projection. That isnt a bad thing per say, its more like a logical fallacy in a certain sense.
Then Anon decided to make a big deal about it, even though I said I was done with the topic already, and he accused me of bullying and harassment and all this other stuff. All because I said that Muffin's statement and statements after it were projection. It is really dumb. I kept saying "Lets just agree to disagree" but these guys would not let it drop. lol.
Then Star Knight posted a snarky post insinuating that my character was in a body suit (kind of true) and he left a bunch of angry reacts on my actual forum posts. So I went and posted a response like: Women wear body suits/onesies (not the fetish kind) where I live and its not sexual. Then a lot of other people posted and made a few snarky comments in the status itself. Personally I think its more like a scuba suit myself. Is a scuba suit a bodysuit? Kinda. Not sexual tho.
So now its kind of like...its a 3 vs 1, 5 vs 1 at this point, and while all this is going on Anon keeps accusing me in his forum posts of bullying and harassing and blah blah; while all these people are ganging up on me. lol. Its so stupid. If anything Im the one being bullied.
And I got called "insufferable" multiple times by multiple people. ?
Like holy shit. I think its projection. I think the act of finding it to be sexy and then projecting that onto the image itself is projection. Right. If I wore a scuba suit for its intended purpose in rl, would that make me 'sexual' just because someone thought that? Or thought it was sexy? Or saw the potential for it to be seen as being sexy. lol. No.
But I dont think that makes someone projecting like that a bad person. Its just a fault in their logic.
I just wanted to agree to disagree the whole time so the thread could go back to the RR topic rather than being derailed for pages and pages and pages.
I dont think Muffin or Anon are bad people. But they think I am, apparently.
Thats what alllll of this was about.
