Peace Please?

Yes, it would still be awesome. And I did not know "playing with myself" is the same as "predator". How does *that* connect?

Because it displays the complete and total lack of social understanding that makes psychopaths unsettling.

Refer to my older Hero Team pages to see how well *that* worked.

I meant by doing only the lineart on paper, and all the coloring digitally. It looks like the old cartoons have some color from crayon, some from bucket fill, and the inconsistancy is part of what makes it look bad. There are youtube tutorials on how to scan lineart and clean it up to look good digitally.

Also, I feel like there's shame inside me if I were to so much as even bring up the proposition of looking for autism counseling.

Honestly, having it is not a shame. I have it myself and yes, at times it sucks. However, it's not the worst thing. The thing is that anyone can grow despite roadblocks at times. No one is perfect, everyone has their own issues. However, flaws give people the chance to bring themselves back up and keep moving forward. You need to actually do something about it instead of just ignoring it.

Tell us about your high school/college friends, Jay. Like, specific people (but remember not to namedrop!)

Crap, it's been so long. I remember quite a bit of praise; no "good friends" until college. Those I did meet in college did tell me of a club around X-Wing VS TIE Fighter, and it was awesome.

Fair enough. I didn't expect any other response from you to be honest. Just so you know though, that's the same stance kiddie diddlers take so maybe keep that yourself in the future. Or at least don't say that stuff around people who've got kids.

More on topic since you're here: Can you enlighten us on what went on with someone making a fake facebook about you in high school? I am curious what went on there. That must have been a really bizarre experience. What kind of things would they even post?

Our main issue with all of that is because it is a red flag for something very, very bad that could happen to an innocent child. We did not group up and decide to try finding every little excuse to mock you - pedophilia is a horrible, despicable thing and your Final Closure journal did not put out the fire. People who were legitimately concerned were blocked by you or told to shut up. Do you not find it strange that everyone except for you seems to have a problem with that incident? Denying, demanding, and rejecting any form of communication was not the way to handle it and raised more flags. You actually lost a lot of genuine friends because you treated everyone like sheep and told them how to behave around you. People had to walk on eggshells just to make sure you didn't block them or threaten to block them. You dug the hole deeper and that is why the whole affair hasn't just gone away.

Worrying about pedophilia and harm being done to children is not what evil, ignorant villains do. I just hope you understand that. We weren't trying to bring up a scandal, we were making sure others knew your behavior was not natural. There's a difference between being special and using your eccentric attitude as an excuse to possibly traumatize or harm other people, whether you even know the behavior is okay or not.

I said it then and I say it again: pedophilia requires sexual interest. There was never sexual interest. Ever. Since that is not sufficient, then there is nothing more I can do. I refuse to lie.

Hand-drawn lines do not look good. If you'd like, I can attempt to demonstrate. Actually, my very first Hero Team drawing does a good job with that: http://the-golden-knight.deviantart.com/art/Hero-Team-Original-Sketch-189428614

If there's no sexual interest and you still feel up a little kid, it's still pedophilia because it's a sexual act on a child.

 

[ordinarycough]

Alright whatever I know you aren't budging on that issue. Can you at least answer my question about someone making a fake facebook page about you in high school though?

You mentioned the children's bare feet and have proven you have a foot fetish, so it seems very odd. Nevertheless, your behavior was still not okay, and as long as you understand that and don't play with others' children, even if the child "demands" it, that is progress. No matter how much a child eggs you on or whines for you to tickle or play with them, it is never okay and a child does not have the mental capability of understanding what they're asking is inappropriate - otherwise there would be no difference between a child's innocence and lack of awareness and an adult's knowledge of how to behave. EVEN IF there is no sexual interest. That is only up for the PARENT of the child to decide if you can even come close to them.

Tickling is not sexual, particularly not in that context.

Alright whatever I know you aren't budging on that issue. Can you at least answer my question about someone making a fake facebook page about you in high school though?

Sure. It's a short story, really. Basically, I talked it over with the school administration, and after asking around a bit, it got removed. I don't quite remember the content, as there wasn't much on the page at the time. We nipped it fairly early.

Yes, I understand this is not OK. I understand the past conduct is inappropriate.

What's important is *HOW* you tell those things. One way can lead to nothing but fire, and another can actually make me sit and think. Wording is crucial.

Bro, it doesn't really work that way. You can't say "I need to know what I'm doing wrong! Tell me!" and then pout and plug your ears when that information isn't delivered just the way you want it. You can't control how other people act toward you, but you can control how you respond to it. So you can get mad about people being too blunt and not sugar-coating their criticism enough, and keep stumbling along forever doing the same things that get you in trouble, or you can rein in your ego and look at the advice people are trying to give you.

Do you know why it was made?

 

[get-tar hero]

terest. There was never sexual interest. Ever. Since that is not sufficient, then there nothing more I can do. I refuse to lie.

I'm about to do a bit of literary sperging. In the final portion of the tell tale heart the main character talks about being frenzied and knowing that the deafening sound of the beating heart has alerted the police officers he's speaking to but they continue to act pleasantly to him. What the reader gathers from this is that the protagonist is not accurate in their perception of the situation. Their behavior is not as strange as they believe because if it were the observers would not be reacting so mildly. The christmas story is the exact opposite. Someone saw you playing with a child in a fashion you believe to be very innocent and they were alarmed. I can tell you that I've played with children, I think most people have, and I have never had someone react to what I was doing as though I was a monster. Can you appreciate that regardless of your memory of the event other people's reactions to it suggest that something disturbing did in fact happen?

 

[Superior Watermelon]

Yeah if you're part of their family, but if you're some random guy tickling someone elses kid IT IS NOT SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE, AND IT NEEDS TO BE OKAY WITH THE PARENTS TOO, so you can still get nabbed as a pedophile even though it's "innocent tickling".

So you made friends in college, awesome. Why don't you hang out with them more often? I get that you prefer to spend days off playing video games, I get it. I'm the same way too. But going out with friends really can make a world of difference. Not trying to demonize you or anything just throwing this out there.

Came in way too late for this....welcome back TGK!

I am not the type to hang out. I'm the type who binges on video games; single-player ones at that.

I get it already! No playing with child strangers. Geez!

re: autism: i am autistic. aint nothin to be ashamed of.

Hear, hear. I'm also on the spectrum. It's really not much of a big thing when you know how to handle it

That's what Ultimate Quest for Glory was supposed to be. And then, I got too much of a negative stir over my shortcomings to push hard enough to make it to the end. I still have that twist I want to incorporate into its end!

Perhaps, I could help improve the story. I'm no god-tier editor, but I say it'll be better than Fallout: Equestria's editor

I know single player games can be fun, but it'd be nice to see more multiplayer games from you for your livestreams (maybe sometime when you get your new computer). You seemed to have tons of fun in your stream where you played team fortress 2, you just need to get into the rhythm of actually playing well with others and knowing that you can't always win.

Fair's fair. I suppose it's not such a big thing to have autism, even though it sure feels that way. I suppose my instincts are wrong. And as for improving the story...Maybe. I'd like to consider it.

Absolutely! As soon as I can buy my new rig, I promise more multiplayer streams!

Fair enough but even if you are a loner you're missing on a lot of life experience. It would also help with your coping socially with you need, no offense.

I must admit, TF2 with GK and the rest was pretty enjoyable
