I've seen so many artists who admit they don't post art because they struggle with alt-text and posting art without it is unthinkable so they don't
it's your art, it's your account, do what you want, inclusivity is not the same thing as constant boundaryless open access to the point of sacrifice

And I just have to deal with that.

One thing that both fascinates, and disturbs me greatly, is how quickly and routinely claims crop up about online personalities become entrenched as factual by people who simultaneously seem to have no investment and complete obsession in the matter. It's Fanon, but about real life.

Zero tolerance for doomerism. Stop lazily accepting that everything is screwed forever. Stop normalising low expectations. That’s part of the problem & it’s what the bastards want. It’s also a product of privilege. People in more desperate situations don’t have the option to just sit back & shrug.

Im proud of you. You are doing the best you can as an artist in a time where people dont appreciate human art anymore. We are all struggling, but we are struggling together. We got this, and I believe in you.

if you're an artist and you're seeing this, don't give up on your art. you create worlds and characters that didn't exist until you picked up that pencil and brought it to life. you create magic. ppl created programs to poorly emulate what you can do. don't ever forget that 🩷

Doing this stuff for two decades, I've heard the most ridiculous stuff presented as fact by people I've likely never met about things I never did.
And yeah, the only choice is to hope everyone isn't dumb enough to believe it.

I hate when people are so aggressive about it too. Going on paragraphs on how much they hate the character or saying that everyone who likes said character/ship is dumb but then covering it up with “but anyway nice fanart uwu”

Fun fact: commenting under someone's art how much you hate the media they're drawing for, regardless of your intention, will in fact get you blocked by every other artist who sees that comment.

I kinda find it incredibly ironic how people are actually pissed off at AniMat for not giving Zootopia 2, a Disney movie, the AniMat’s Seal of Approval after months and months of people labeling him as a “Disney shill”. The dude just can’t win with everyone.

Okay but for real, stop letting "what if I make a mistake" or "what if it's not good" stop you from creating.
Imperfections are a part of the package. No artist is perfect, nor will they ever be.
Just make your stuff. You'll find what you enjoy and you'll improve the more you do it.

We hold each other accountable so we can do better, not because people deserve to be punished and irrevocably cancelled.
If your praxis doesn't leave room for people to get better, maybe you're just looking for reasons to bully people or maybe you still have growing up to do.
