Anyway, I don't see a single "mean" comment in this entire discussion. Get over yourselves and learn to accept criticism. Each of these people were courteous in their replies. YOU were far less. In fact you, BxR, sound rather sarcastic.

See this web site? It's an open forum. People can comment on anything they wish. And as long as they are not flaming, they have broken no rules. Don't like that? Don't post it. It's that simple. You post something in an open community, you have to take the good with the bad. Or, in a different way, the critical with the supportive. If you can't deal with that, then you have no business posting material in the first place.

Oh, and BxR's sister? You chastize people not only without "noing" their age, but then without even being able to spell correctly? XD

This is RxB's sister here.... Please, and im saying this in the nicest way i can........ If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all as it is mean, and pathetic. You are all 11, 12, or 13 year olds maybe more you should no better. Anyway even if you didn't like it just say its good anyway. You don't need to break the girls heart by giving her mean comments do you

I will agree with Dragon Tamer and his well-stated clarification. My intent is not to browbeat or flame bait. Nor, believe it or not, is it to pass judgement on alternative sexualities, even though that is probably how it will be judged.

But I don't like seeing material that is clearly meant as one thing ending up "fan shipped" into something which it is definitely not. Fan shippers tend to hold to the belief that they can do anything they want with great classic material, and anyone who stumbles upon it should just "deal with it" or "get over it and move on". To me, that is the basest, most selfish and conceited bunch of hooey that anyone can ever lay onto those who love the movies for what they are. Especially the classics...like Bambi. And I can't just let it pass by when I see such things happen. I just can't.

We MUST learn to move past this contradictory age of "anything goes"/political correctness/"you don't know me", and learn to respect the works of great authors, and great motion picture companies, and leave our personal preferences -- which may paint these great works in another (and maybe darker) light -- personal...and private.

However, I maintain that none of my comments were meant as personal attacks or browbeating.

feathervenom --> I agree on the flame-baiting part.

BXR --> Just so I can be clear, speaking strictly for myself, I'm not trying to browbeat you or anything like that. Out of sympathy for your ADD (I have ADHD myself) I'll try to be gentle about this: your pictures, in and of themselves, are fine. But the underlying theme you've attached to them, on a site full of loyal fans, is apt to draw fire. And given that it's a site bound to draw kids and parents, I'd like to see some different material. I already lost contact with several friends whose parents made them leave Animation Source when they learned this sort of thing was on here.

I'm personally only here because I check for new comments whenever I get on... but, I'll just add that alternative sexualities are very, very controvercial(spelling?), it's like religion or politics, or mentioning the Phillip CD-i games on a nintendo fan-site; complete kindling for a flame war. I have nothing against anyone here personally - BXR has been of great support to me, I'm just worried that it could cause a flame war is all.

Hate to break it to you, but you're still a kid, (and not to mention 11 comes after 10, so there is hardly a difference in age and maturity) and too young to be drawing this sort of thing. You should at least be 13 years of age or older in my opinion. No one here can stop you from drawing these kinds of things, but I think it would be better if you took down your content and put it on some other site like Deviantart.

Why thank you.

Wow. That was a lot more eloquent and thorough than my version.

Either way, it's beside the point -- these characters (CERTAINLY the official ones) and the stories they appear in (whether the original literary story or the sanitized Disney version and its "donut hole" sequel) were all about the innocence of childhood, from the perspective of woodland animals. And the trials and tribulations of their lives. And, when they came of age, seeking romance in the usual fashion. They were not at all about alternative sexualities, whether stated or implied.

Whenever anything about the Bambi movies and their characters, most especially, appear online, they are GOING to draw parents and their young children. That's a given. Regardless of the resident fan base here (no matter their preferences and proclivities). And those visitors definitely do not need to be seeing that sort of stuff.

Perhaps they would be looking at this stuff out of naivete.

Okay, i understand that you're a BambiXRonno fan and all... but i don't think this too aproppriate for kids less than 10 years old... :/
