Well, you should have said something.
Also, I'm not labeling you or anyone here so you shouldn't worry so much. I'm sorry you took it that way, but its completely out of context on your part. Never did I imply that you were asking for something unreasonable, in fact, I said the opposite.
Everything else that resulted from this topic was because you asked "why would it be a problem", so I gave you a technical answer since it seems you just didn't know. It was in no way, shape, or form a reflection of my feelings for you or anyone here. I think that was obvious. I also don't feel it was my responsibility to handle this any other way. I can't assume to know how people think or if they are timid what will set them off. If they wanted to request something and knew they'd be shy about it, thats what PMs are for. I get PMs like that all the time.
I'm certain you're not a child tickling freak, so there is no reason to take it there to that mind set or mentality. No one here is judging you or coming up with preconcieved notions about you.
Obviously I care just as much as you do about not being labeled a freak, or I wouldn't have said much about it. I'm being just as defensive as you are, and never once did I judge you.
If this had been any other request it would have happened differently. I can assure you of that. Very rare has it been that someone asks for a character that young. Not because they're young, but the age is a factor even if it is just a cartoon character. You may see it as no big deal, but then thats dismissing how I and other artists feel.
Calm down, you're overeacting. 🙂
EDIT:
For what it's worth, I'm sorry and I apologize if for whatever reason you felt accosted. That certainly wasn't what I meant, as I discribed above. I will not take full responsibility however, because there was no way for me to know how you would react, and one cannot mind everything at once. Being that you are here on a fetish site, I figured you would feel more comfortable posting here. So while I did not assume that, I took it into consideration and didn't act on it. I left it in your hands, and whether you see it this way or not, I feel that you are the one who carried the thread this far, even though I'm doing the majority of the talking here.
Perhaps if you had asked me differently or reacted differently something else would have happened, I don't know, and I don't care to evaluate all possible scenarios for how this could have happened based on your disposition on the issue. It is what it is and it cannot be undone. Its up to you how this proceeds. The ball was always in your court and still is. I've just reacted accordingly.
