zenpencilspencils:(art by Gavin Aung Than and Gavin Aung Than, words by Gavin Aung Than)okay, I know this isn’t really what this blog is for but I’m gonna straight up talk about this instead of poking fun at it by shopping it because I feel that if I don’t say it, who will?the quote in the big orange bubble comes directly from the comments section of zenpencils.com, straight from the artist of the website, gavin aung than himself. this is what he said to his audience and the public.when someone calls you out on your shit, whether you’re aware of it or not - if you know it’s wrong, you apologize for it. you don’t make a reason to justify it to redeem yourself. ctrl+f the entire comments section and there’s only one “sorry,” and that was from a fan making a little joke.not gavin.by responding in this way, he’s saying that it’s okay to do shit like this. while I know he’s not an outright woman-hating sexist. we all can be subconsciously prejudiced whether we like it or not. but he consciously tried to excuse his bullshit, considering only his reputation when typing out the message you see above. he could’ve moved past it and acknowledge that was a shitty thing to do, becoming a better person through trial and error, but the only thing he’s worried about is being labelled as a “sexist” by the masses.gavin, this isn’t about you. it’s about the women, the people whose power is taken away by society as a whole. and here, you are contributing to it, you conceited bastard.you drew this on september 27, 2012. you said this on september 28, 2012. maybe you’ve changed, hopefully! but today, on november 21st, 2014, this comic is still here, with nary a disclaimer or apology.correct yourself. -- source link
