Jasonafex just posted this interview with Zaush recently in which he basically just mindlessly praises him for over an hour. Why is this relevent? Because at the 10:10 mark, this comic gets brought up, and he even goes as far as to say that it's "the best Zootopia comic of its kind", that it "emulated the art style of the movie better than anyone else", and that "people really loved it".
I seriously can't tell if he's oblivious, ignorant, or both. Either way, he's dead wrong. If this comic really was so amazing like he seems to think, then why does its sloppily-written ending have tons of downvotes on e621? As of right now, it stands at an abysmal score of -137, with countless comments there expressing disappointment at how the characters were handled throughout the comic, and for a good reason, too. Needless to say, this comic got torn to shreds by Zootopia fans everywhere (as if this thread alone wasn't already evidence of that) and is in many ways even more infamous than the "I Will Survive" abortion comic that everyone loves to throw under the bus for some reason (even though it at least had the guts to take itself seriously, which is a lot more than can be said for any of Zaush's work).
And yet, despite all that, Zaush just casually blocks everybody and acts like his stupid little comic is perfect in every way and is "just like the movie" while he continues to live in his egotistical echo chamber, acting as if he's above everyone else. I'm tired of this attitude surrounding popular artists like Zaush where people like Jasonafex shamelessly praise them for hours on end simply because they're well-known, as if that somehow makes them immune to criticism. I'm tired of Zaush's shills trying to cram this insulting, lazily-written comic down our throats as if it's "good art" when in actuality, there are so many other Zootopia comics out there that blow Mystic Tantra out of the water in every aspect, yet don't get even a fraction of the attention.
But whatever, right? It's "just porn" after all, so I guess I shouldn't make a big deal out of it, even though the person who made it clearly does.
