Regardless of your opinions on Adam Ellis’s art, this is quite possibly one of the most patronizing, rude and childish things I’ve ever heard an adult say. Imagine being this far up your own ass.

IMMM gonnAA shit,,, is he ok?

You’re wrong. As much as I think Adam’s comics are lazy he’s right. He’s getting paid for doing minimal work which is fucking ideal and you can’t hate him for being this fortunate. Whatever connections or friends he had to make to get into his position you can’t insult him because he made his way. And he has every right to defend himself when being attacked by jealous people.

There are more talented singers than Nicki Minaj. Does this make her less of a pop star?  Look at CTRL ALT DELETE. The guy is literally FAMOUS for being terrible. Jay Fosgitt is the fucking WORST artists I’ve seen get paid for his art on his IDW comics but that has nothing to do with how he got there. People. We’re living in a time where Donald Trump is president. That pigskinned fuck was the least qualified candidate AND HE WON.  INDIVIDUAL TALENT/ABILITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POPULARITY. 

This happens everywhere. Mediocre artists get tons of views and notes where more talented ones can possibly only break 20 notes an image. Reaction channels are getting more revenue than animators. This is just the world we live in and it’s not his fault from finding a way to benefit from it. You’re jealous of their success, fine, but to insinuate that someone who is successful doesn’t deserve it without knowing how they got there is more childish than him defending himself. 

And the “Focus on your $5 Deviant commission” line? Rather it was made as an insult or not the point being made is every artists starts from somewhere. You guys are too god damn sensitive.
