My apologies if asserting my views comes off as "douchey," but I think you're mistaken on what MSPaint and I are objecting to.
The problem isn't that he doesn't like cruel content. By all means, people are entitled to their tastes. The problem isn't even that he stated he dislikes it: doing so is rather tactless and tasteless, but ultimately should be overlooked, as people do seem to have a natural urge to express their "opinions" on things regardless of how constructive it may or may not be.
No, I believe what has bothered her is the very line I pointed out in my last post. "Who faps to this?" That's something of a marginalisation of anyone who may have enjoyed the work. I don't wish to belabour the point or guilt anyone past expressing why someone might object to the post, but I must also point out he started off by giving an exaggerated expression of indignation at the direction the artist took, making it quite clear he finds the piece distasteful and frustrating. Perhaps she saw that as a personal insult.
It's clear the original post was meant as a joke, and perhaps MSPaint shouldn't have been bothered by it... but I feel the need to point out that she has reasons for being bothered. Simply waving it off as "it's my opinion" isn't a magical panacea for reactions to tactlessness.
