# Well this person who undertakes in behaviour you find
irrational/distasteful, whatever is doing so for the purposes of social acceptance, and whats more these actions obviously work for her, even in some cases (as with yourself) she is met with disapproval, as if she was not (at least in her perception) rewarded for said behaviour it would quickly cease.

Now contrast with the act of posting doodles on b3ta.com about such an individual; to many this is not a logical or fufilling thing to do, yet, 'lest you be not of sound mind, you do so in seeking approval. And there, fellow poster, we have our 'certain irony'.

# Hahah
okay. I see your point. But what if I told you that I drew the doodles just so I wouldn't punch said girl in the face? Then, posted it on b3ta, but don't really care if people like it or not?

# I'd probably say you were lying...
If you don't feel that it's gratifying when people enjoy your creations and its painful when they are derided then they are unlikely to be of worth to you, in creation and in display.

If you've truly created your works for yourself alone what reason could you have for their display?

I'm not trying to have a dig, placing one's creations in the public domain is commendable, but I have trouble understanding your motivations.

Besides, if you'd punched her stupid vaccous-valley girl face in, you'd be wasting valuable doodling time.

# It is gratifying when people like my drawings
but I'm not bothered if they don't.

And might've hurt my fist on her plastic nose and rock hard makeup.

# Ah, we all join cliques when we're teenagers,
and complain about all the other cliques.
Part of life. I guess it's about learning how to fit in and get on with people.
