I have been struggling with criticism for a while.
First, I have a request before you read this post. Please do not criticize or argue against those who hold a negative opinion of me.
If you do that, it will only make the situation worse and put me in an even more difficult position.
So, please just take this as "something that happened" and let it go without doing anything.
I plan to ignore them myself, and since they will only cherry-pick the parts of my arguments that favor them, I intend to disregard them completely.
Last week, someone uploaded a video criticizing (and occasionally insulting) my YouTube channel.

I found it quite absurd, so I wrote a long post as a counterargument.

Following that, he uploaded a second video responding to my counterargument.

Since he was spreading misleading information and making nonsensical claims, I presented an incredibly long counterargument both in the main post and in a very detailed pinned comment.

To be honest, I suspect he won't quote my entire text in his video; instead, he will likely edit and use only the parts that are advantageous to him. I was also very upset by his insults, specifically when he called my art "disgusting."
As a result, I haven't been able to work on any creative projects for a while because I was busy writing these long responses. Dealing with this stress while not being fully recovered has made my condition worse, and I haven't been able to sleep properly.
Now that I have written down everything I wanted to say—including explaining why my animations do not violate YouTube policies by providing dozens of examples—any further counterargument from him will likely just be his personal opinion.
Therefore, I am going to ignore him and continue creating my work exactly as I always have.
I am truly sorry for the delay in my work. If possible, I plan to draw a 4-cut manga this weekend.
