You wouldn't believe this story I'm about to share here.
This guy on DeviantArt, nicknamed jemiejemie1 (with an avatar of the Pokemon XY character Chespin), is one of the silent but rude people I learned about through my experience on that site in the past months. At first he had nice artworks of Pokemon stuff, like an OC Vulpix in a Dracula costume. So I thought then let's try meeting him in a note and start developing a friendship with him on the same interest for Pokemon lore.
But, it turned out he wasn't interested in responding back to me at all. He only saw the messages I sent him in the note box on that site (telling by the subject titles becoming unbold from bold). And after about 5 times I sent him further messages saying, "Why are you not saying anything to me? Not even one word?", for no reason he chose to block me, completely unexplained.
Yes I know that not everyone will be willing to say something or be nice or such, because they're either hateful, don't have anything better to do or are just busy as the #1 obvious answer to all, but quite honestly, that guy just hurt me and my feelings nonetheless, making me feel as if I'm not/never invited into Pokemon stuff at all that I otherwise like. And since he didn't want to be friends with me, well... How is it possible to look for other people with the same interest in this series as I do to make decent friends with, while being nice ones rather than nasty, funny, ridiculous or ignorant? I clearly have not done anything wrong to that mean jemiejemie1 person at first, but yet it's always difficult to tell who's going to be nice and who won't, when attempting to greet them and say hi for the first time, positive or not, even though I always try to be nice myself. But then again, it seems as though a lot of DeviantArt itself is becoming more stupid than ever, if you were to ask me through similar experience.
Since jemiejemie1 did this to me... Well, I don't like him either now. So there. -_-'
