Jam feels the sting of Ms. Margaret's palm. The reason: fighting! Earlier that day, she had gotten into a fight with one of the school's bullies for harassing a friend of hers.
The school has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to fighting, so now both girls have a week a spankings to endure. Her homeroom teacher, Ms. Margaret, deals out
hers with a lecture. While defending your friend is admirable, there are other, better ways of handling situations like this without resorting to fisticuffs.
No Margaret, when a bully is set in harassing another person, only a show of strenght will deter the bully; and you do not punish a bully and a victim defender in the same way, that is absurd. Hold Time, I take Jam and I leave a major simulacrum of her to be spanked in her place; repeat the operation every day until the end of the week.
I would just like to point out that Margaret is following the "school's policy" when it comes to this particular situation. Her lecture dors not necessarily reflect her own beliefs...
Well, I already told you how much I personally love this, so I guess I'll just throw my two cents in on the summary since I DID help in writing it.
Fighting a bully does not automatically make the bully stop. Trust me, I get where ya'll are coming from, I got bullied all the time in school, but fighting a bully never solved anything-in fact, it just made them come back with a vengeance. Does that fighting never works for anyone? No, of course not. It's not a perfect solution-one doesn't exist and I wanted to maybe spin that a bit for a spanking pic.
@Jac Ranger: I don't know, I think with as sensitive a topic bullying is, it should have been avoided entirely, because people are going to only look at this and see the message being don't fight for your friends, and as much as I love the picture, I whole heartedly can't support it because I've gotten into fights with those who were harassing either my younger brother and sister and friends, and this wasn't some kind of playground insult, these were things no body should be told, and once I got involved they never did it again. Things have happened to my younger sister that nobody deserves so I've beat the shit out of the people who did it.
Maybe fighting isn't always the answer, but when it comes to seeing your friends constantly getting harassed and nothing is being done about it you'll feel like there's only one way to make it stop.
I also feel like there's a clear double standard here that people will also get furious about, being that she is being spanked for fighting. Her answer shouldn't have been to fight, but here she is getting hit herself for fighting? The message is very mixed here and I feel like a lot of other people are gonna jump on that.
There were about a thousand other things she could have been spanked for; Stealing, cheating, coming in late for school, being disrespectful to a teacher or another student, but not so much for defending a friend.
The part I myself find more upsetting is again, she got into a fight to protect her friend, but she herself is getting hit now because of what she did. There's a big double standard here and I just really can't approve of the picture. If she had just straight up hit someone for no reason, sure, but not for when that hit was in defense of someone else.
A week or two of detention seems more than fair, but this crosses some pretty uncomfortable borders that really get people upset.
@JamieH2: Well, I never said I had the popular opinion. :P I find that mindset really hypocritical cause, well, this is AOTK. Where characters, whether they deserve it or not, are punished for it. Lest we forget that some of everyone's most beloved pics glorify rather harsh punishments and humiliation.
But yeah, I guess I should've just said Jam cheated on a test or something, considering the political climate of the sight. No use stirring hypocrisy when it's not needed.
@Jac Ranger: no, no, I agree, I love unfair spankings because they are usually the most cute and adorable and I'm not trying to bash you, I just know how a lot of people are gonna look at this that wouldn't necessarily be wrong in voicing their opinions. The chosen topic though is just a really fragile one that you really have to tip toe around because it hits some people hard. And there's nothing quite like kids getting punished for standing up for themselves or friends by throwing down that upsets them more.
Spanking someone for being cute and such has a certain playful element to it the description just doesn't make it seem like this is unfair, more that she deserves it.
Jac: Thanks for taking Jamie's feelings (expressed respectfully, thank YOU Jamie) into account. That being said, I'm strongly of the opinion that artists should not be afraid of offending people, that bullying is a complex subject (I fought back, sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't)that often upsets people, and that if Jam didn't deserve this particular spanking, just think of it as one of the many, many, many she is owed for stuff her bratty cute self got away with !
Here's something less controversial: it's really well drawn, Jam is super cute, and you chose a wonderful colour palette for this - not just skin tones but the outfits too. A great piece, well done.
personally i'm always happy to see Jam getting that tush warmed, (even if it is bit the evil cookie woman) . this is as ever great artwork although im not over keen of how red jams skin tone is (and i mean the bits that are not spanked) still that's my problem and i hope we see more of little miss attitude getting a warmed tush.
My "intervention" was supposed to be a fun form to empathize with the spankee, having been bullied myself, but that does not mean that Sieti's arts isn't fantastic, because it is, and I liked it very much.
@remo1 You're right, artists shouldn't be afraid of offending people, but it's also fair to let the people who are offended voice their opinions as well. The artist can take this on board as a "things to stay away from in the future" lesson if they so choose.
