It's not about the looks

A short summary of what I've been thinking about lately.
After that Smilodon drawing I posted, depicting it like Duane Nash talked about on his blog, it got spread around a bit on social media and of course I followed it to see how people reacted. 
Lots of recistance, which was no suprise, but it did bother me how people reacted with stuff like "this is ridiculous", "this is STUPID" and stuff that hints that I don't know what I draw. (heh, close to me username xD ) 
However, that thing about the covered sabreteeth was indeed something way out of everyone's comfort zone, including mine, and it was kinda normal people reacted this way. What does stand out though is that or people called it stupid because they thought it looked like that or simply didn't read the article looking at how everyone brought up arguments that got debunked in the article itself. Only a handfull of people actually started a scientific discussion.
The next reason why I made this is because the media finally found out dinosaurs had lips and boy, could you see the fanboys and awesomebros whine because Rexy didn't show her teeth. And we weren't even talking about feathers...
And finally one last thing for this short writing thingy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NJJTA…

Maybe I will spread this on social media, maybe not, after all there's a trolling Smilodon with covered sabres in three different ways.
