OP here
I've read all comments and reblogs, and after some processing, I think I just didn't get that "go touch some grass" expression right...
Idk, I'm not american, and I've basically learned it through Sam Yang's (digital artist) youtube videos. I have a vague memory of searching that expression online afterwards, but I realize now it wasn't enough to use it myself. To me, it was a fun and light way of saying "hey I think media made you forget how real life works" and in this context I wanted to imply the body proportions and pose of his female character were exaggerated-ly wrong
I guess I didn't tell him like that because I was still a bit hurt and angry at men at the moment for so casually shoving sexualized female characters at our faces, so I used that expression instead because some part of me took his action of showing me this personally
Now I'll just never use that expression again and be careful with what I say to people showing me their art even if the latter bothers me
So thank you for... that great amount of invitations to reconsider my actions, that's actually why I posted this. Some comments were more polite than others to say the least, I find it somewhat ironic to be aggressively insulted for having being rude to someone btw
AITA for telling a guy to go touch some grass?
(This is a very minor issue, but I can't stop thinking about it, and I need to know if I was out of line...)
I (25F) am in my first year at an art school. I was working on a project at the school outside of class hours when we started chatting with the other students working there.
Another guy from the school (2nd or 3rd year, idk, I had never talked to him before) asked me to come see his artwork on tablet, which he was proud of. I got up excited to see it. It was a woman in anime style, very sexualized: very big curves, defined abs, low cleavage, etc. It immediately made me uncomfortable, but I tried my best to remain polite. I said something along the lines of "Oh, that's nice, you have good skills... maybe you should go touch some grass, though, but the technique is great!" And then I went back to work on my project.
Later on, when the dude left, a classmate (20M) who had witnessed the earlier exchange told me I had been "very rude and harsh" towards him.
I think the dude was the senseless one. I don't even know his name, I barely had registered his face at the school, and he shows me such a drawing. But maybe it's because I don't watch that kind of anime? AITA?

I recently had surgery, and at the time I came home, I had both my cat and one of my grandma's cats staying with me.
- Within hours of surgery, I wake up from a nap to my cat gently sniffing at my incisions with great alarm.
- I was not allowed to shower the first day after surgery, and the cats, seeing that The Large Cat is not observing its cleaning ritual, decided I must be gravely disabled and compensated by licking all the exposed skin on my arms, face, and legs.
- I currently have to sleep with a pillow over my abdomen because my cat insists on climbing on top of me and covering my incisions with her body while I sleep (which is very sweet but not exactly comfortable without the pillow). She also lays across me facing my bedroom door, presumably on guard for attackers who may try to harm me while I'm sleeping and injured.
That's love. 馃悎鈥嶁瑳馃悎鉂わ笍

The bisexual to aroace pipeline is pretty much having the right idea and coming to the wrong conclusion. Yeah buddy you're not straight and you're also not gay. No not like that though, the other way around

This is fascinating for two reasons.
1. They haven鈥檛 actually apologised for anything. She鈥檚 pre-emptively rejecting an apology that they have no intention of giving.
2. Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are extremely well-liked. A lot of people are more attached to them in their roles as they are to the actual characters in the books.
What does JK Rowling gain by coming out with this?
