I like the way you verbalise the third option: " No, your work sucks, and I don't even look at it, because I have no taste."
You can't vote for it unless you admit you have no taste.
In some management courses this is called verbal aggression.
Splendid! You should be a politician.
More seriously, this is one of the techniques to manipulate a referendum, be it in a more subtle way.
"Manipulate a referendum"...
I may not understand very well your post, or even your sarcasm, as my english sucks a lot, but...Are you serious?
Why are you talking about "verbal aggression"?
The purpose of this poll was just to determinate if it worth it to do a full crux story, as a lot of people would enjoy it, but a lot of people would dislike it. I asked this, because I didn't want to spend a lot of time on a story that a very few people would buy and read. It took 2 months, to draw this story, and what I earn is not enough to live, friend. So yes, I think I have the right to ask if it's a "good invest" for me. I do a lot of free work for everybody who can afford my comics, but I spent a lot o time and a lot of money to buy the ressources to do that. So, yes again, I had to ask it, as the results were pretty clear: 25% of the voters are not interested. That was more than expected.
Now, the 3rd option was here to make people laugh a bit. Every poll I did here or on Deviantart had a little joke inside, because I am a simple man: I think that people who don't like my work (and yes, I know there are a lot) won't just click on a thread called "SkatingJesus's thread". You don't like it? You don't go on it, that's quite simple.
So, maybe I didn't really get what you said in your post, but for me, your post is a verbal aggression, as you said.
I don't understand why you bother me with this, as it is pretty clear that it's a joke (same for my DA polls, some people answer with the joke option, and tells me it, for the joke too), and as this thread is now more than 6 months old.
I like what I do, and I won't change my work, unless people stop liking it (that's the prupose of all my polls).
And if you don't like it, well, sorry for you, friend, but there is a lot of other artists who do stuff you may enjoy.
