Also I wonder if all these people are vegetarian? They have to be at least. Because falling over a painting of a rabbit on vinyl because it looks like a pan, would make them hypocrites eating chicken from a pan that night.
Vegetarian here. No, can confirm those people are just stupid. Lots of people suddenly just get really into animal welfare when it's something they think is cute. In my opinion chickens are just as cute, but yeah those people are probably saying shit with Tyson & Perdue products in their freezer 🤷 I'd much rather eat a wild hunted rabbit than a bird that could never stand up its whole life but here we are
It IS a great picture and also it's obvious he's behind it. If he was in it he'd be sitting on the bubble in the bottom of the jug, but the legs go behind it.
Back when Twitter was just a normal hellhole website I saw someone attempting to cancel a streamer with a Geordie accent... for appropriating AAVE.
Because apparently that would be canceler thought that option more likely than "not all british people sound like the clichee and this is his normal accent"
The explanation of this and many other similar situations is that internet is full of mentally ill people and all of us are sharing the same flat space with distance compressed
If it makes you feel any better, you are not the first. There actually was a website called "bonsai kittens" back in the early 2000s that photoshopped cats into bottles, and since Photoshop hadn't entered the popular consciousness yet, people got so mad that the FBI had to investigate it.
I got banned from a locals plant group on Facebook because someone posted some fuckass AI photo of a literal mermaid tail in a pot and was like “where do I get this plant?”
Everyone was suggesting stuff and I was like “is no one going to point out that this is AI?? No plant actually looks like a straight up fish tail in a pot”.
Okay to be fair Cat sub have the STUPIDEST people i have ever seen, complaining about anything AND everything even when they don't know what they are talking about
It was a completely different vision to me so I was like shocked haha but yeah tbh art is art and if I can paint what ever I want people can also think whatever they want about it too
If you want to express a certain thing, you could see the feedback as a lesson and attempt your expression once more, but from a different perspective. Maybe let the rabbit stand, and/or view the scene from the side.
That said, you got a piece that's already well crafted and expresses something. I think many artists discovered that their painting doesn't express exactly what they intended across history. No reason to be upset, such is the nature of expression.
I'd go so far as to say not only are people allowed to paint a picture of a rabbit being cooked in a pan, they are even allowed to actually cook a rabbit in a pan if they want.
That's there you have a pan or perhaps flaming wok in each hand and you cross your hands at the wrist while still tossing food in the pans while cooking it. Really helps areate the flavenoids.
This also my suggestion. Art is supposed to be uncomfortable sometimes. Even if it had been a painting of a rabbit being cooked in the pan there would still be nothing wrong with it.
I mean... You shouldn't just plop a dead bunny in a pan to cook... There's a lot wrong with that. It still has fur. Its waste organs are still all up in there.
I think that’s the problem! Let’s just say that it’s an original/weird idea so people just think of a more common situation. I prefer the rabbit sleeping in the vinyl instead of in dead on a pan tho
I think the straight down perspective causes the confusion. If it was a lower pov from the side it would be more obvious at a glance it wasn't a pan. I love the painting btw, it's the exact cute unorthodox you were going for.
I saw record player at first glance. Might be dependent on who's looking at it and if they even know what a record player is. For a moment when I looked at it it almost seemed as if the bunny was swirling with the record. Interesting piece keep up the good work.
Also you have to skin that sucker before cooking it. I prefer to do a nice slow cook in the crock pot. Shredded rabbit and linguine with white wine sause. Delicious.
Yeah it's not great if it gives you the wrong reaction though. If it was intended to be cozy and people get upset, that's not "a strength". The only strength I can see there is that it's at least realistic looking.
I think it's great. It's art, it's subjective and gives emotion either way. I want to know what record it is. What's the story behind this? Is the rabbit dead? I didn't think it was at first and certainly didn't think it was being cooked fur and all but what if it was a frying pan? What's the story behind that? Some inexperienced starving socialite in war time? It could be so many things and nothing but I'm thinking about it. It's excellent art imo.
I was thinking about how we tend to overthink absolutely everything, while animals just… don’t. The rabbit found a little safe and comfortable spot and simply fell asleep there. No overthinking, no worrying about whether it should be there, just pure peace. I wanted it to be a little reminder that sometimes we should do the same and just enjoy wherever we are. But I honestly love to hear what people can think or see on art, it’s pretty interesting ! Just idk what to think when people just get disgusted by their vision, when i wanted to give a completely different vision. Also thank you! 🖤
That is the first thing I saw, mainly because of how it's laying. I know some rabbits sleep like that but if it wasnt laying like that it would be more clear that it's resting and not dead. Maybe even if it was less curled up. It is a very sweet painting though.
Edit: yes, most rabbits don't sleep like that. Some do so I'm giving op leniency there because it's the pose they wanted it to be in and it's cute when they do.
I like the concept, but def thought ded at first. Long time many bunny owner here. Maybe a loaf pose would've worked better? The side lay def is how they go 🙁
Either way, i wouldn't worry about it. If someone bothers to look at it more than a few seconds, it does look like a turn table, not a pan. I like the style, btw 😊 and the bunny is cute fr
Tbf, it'd be wrong to keep the fur when coming. But on first glance I thought it was spices and maybe a nice marinade giving the color, so... Yeah, nothing wrong with that at all.
This is a great point, actually. My first thought is that there are so many defining features of a record player that it’s impossible to mistake it for a pan… but I also own a record player.
Tbh i also thought it was a bunny in a pan, and wondered why it was being cooked with the fur still on and while still in one piece, definitely not the proper way to cook a rabbit.
I dunno but I am in the rabbit subs where OP posted it and no one really said anything mean about it it was rude in the comments, even when I looked at their post history even other places they posted it they got the same reaction, “I thought it was being cooked at first but when I looked at it I saw it was ac record player” basically the same reaction they have gotten here
i've seen a few artists do this, heavily exaggerate "criticism" they've received so they can complain about it in this sub or similar subs as a way to get more views or sympathy upvotes
Personally, my version of mildly infuriating is when people say “a vinyl” instead of “a record” or “vinyl record”.
Vinyl is the type of plastic used. Vinyl record works, and it is correct to say “I have that album on vinyl,” but just saying “a vinyl” as a noun is grammatically incorrect
(Emphasis on mild, I’m not coming after OP like people came for them for the rabbit looking like dinner to some)
Looked like a pan to me too as I was scrolling by. The thick white lines on the record gives the illusion of depth. Also the white record center combined with the rabbit’s feet look like stew/vegetables.
I can clearly tell what it is looking at it longer than a second though.
I mean, even if it were the latter, I don’t see what the problem would have been. It’s not like you were posting a real picture or video of you cooking a bunny alive?
ah, see your problem is that you didn't include a video of subway surfers with an AI voice over to hold the attention of the people to stare longer then 1 second

If you think thats bad
I got banned from a cats sub because I posted a picture of my cat behind a water jug and it looked like he was in the jug.
And people thought I actually managed to get my cat in the jug and he was dying
