To those of you who ACTUALLY LIKE Jimryu...
Remember that you're the majority. The best (and at times worst) thing about the internet is everyone can have a voice. And here, people are actually allowed to have unpopular opinions (Which is what makes our little community so great). And as such when people realize that others agree with their opinion, they'll want to elaborate on it - especially if their opinion isn't popular. And if said popular opinion is saying something popular is bad and/or doesn't deserve to be popular, then they'll be more vocal/passionate about it - which is fine.
To give a bigger example, Teen Titans GO!! is a VERY criticized show, to the point where one might wonder why it's still airing. Because it's more popular than Steven Universe. Yeah, it is according to ratings. New Episodes of TTG get about ~1.5 Million views which beats out SU by a little bit. That's also ignoring how some episodes have gotten 2 Million views on release. Despite how many people HATE that show, it's clear a lot of people like it.
Same thing here - As much criticism that Jimryu gets, he sure ends up with a lot of pictures here, right? And since he's almost solely commissions, that must mean people are still ordering.
So when you see another comment of someone showing their dislike for Jimryu (Or the inevitable "Fuck Jimryu" thread - if one doesn't already exist), just relax and remember that it's other users enjoying the fact that as a community we don't force them to conform to and opinion.
(Am I the only one who sees the irony of the hypnosis-fetish site fully enforcing freedom of speech and opinion?)
Before I sign off and leave this up to response, I'd like to talk about some of the... nastier things said by the anti-Jimryu community. It's fine to not like him. It's fine to not support him. It's fine to try to get artist you think is better more attention. You know what's not fine? Trying to condem and insult people for merely liking that which you don't.
This... is something DarkSydePhil would say.

I'd rather not say who said:
Jimryu's one of you top five artist? You, sir, must have been living an incredibly sheltered life, and are deserving of much pity.
