I've said something along these lines before, but that was like 3 years ago so it bears mentioning again: Faving without commenting is A-ok in my book. I'm still completely boggled by the people who think that faving without commenting is some kind of insult and that people owe them a comment for the priviliege of adding a picture to their favorites. How egotistical is that? It's fucking arrogant is what it is, and has turned me off to a particular artist that used to be on my watch list. It's a sour and selfish attitude and people should have more appreciation for the fans of their work.

After all, sometimes the only thing a person has to say about a picture is, "Wow! I really like that!" and simply favoriting a picture gets that point across loud and clear. It's a compliment all by itself and doesn't require further commentary if the viewer doesn't feel it necessary. I wish I got more comments, but instead of getting pissy with people who don't comment on my pictures maybe I should instead look at myself and work harder to produce work that is worth commenting on. People who deserve comments get comments whether or not they demand them from their viewers.

I mean, I even saw some guy who actually compared faving without commenting to barging into your house and just stealing a picture without saying a word. Buddy, you already shared your pictures with the world, these people are only setting up a shortcut so that they can further appreciate your art at a future time. It is so fucking ungrateful to sneer at them just because they didn't take a little more time to stroke your precious ego first.
