updated my mmo class ideas page

drawing of two ideas for mmo classes. on the left is a person in a black long sleeve, baggy skirt, and tennis shoes. they are carrying a big paint bucket connected to a color picker worn on their wrist. in their other hand, they are holding a large digital art stylus. they are wearing a beret. above them is the word "digipainter." on the right there is a person surrounded by little flying beetles and holding a large net. they are wearing big shorts, a zip up hoodie with a fancy pauldron, and a knit bodysuit underneath. on their hip is a sling of beetle jelly. above them is the word "coleopterist"

i dealt with the “gifted kid” stuff growing up. the idea of talent being the gateway to artistry not only undermines the work ppl put into it, but often feels like a way for ppl with legitimate interest in art to justify not pursuing it. it feels othering for all parties

Thinking about the AI mess, I really do think we should try harder to drill it in everyone's heads that art is not an innate talent but a skill that most people can develop. Like, you don't have to be resentful of artists, just learn how to make art your own way
