This is true completely. You can ignore all you like, but some things just get to you. I've spoken with large content creators about this subject and yeah, it's not like they ignore it all the time. Sometimes there are great comments hidden in all the shit. Ignoring all of your fanbase can only last for so long. Ignoring flood of bullshit is only so effective. There are some comments that are clearly just troll bullshit, but some comments just really stick to you. Whether you want them to or not.

This really hits the nail on the head. I can't wrap my head around this. It's fiction. Where anybody can do anything and nobody gets hurt. You can easily ignore content you don't like. But people just expect you to bow to their whims, their tastes, and their preferences. You can be their idol, but as soon as you do something they don't like in any capacity, they rally up and start screaming at you.
It doesn't matter what I draw. No matter how "edgy" or "obscene."
It's a fucking drawing. A fictional character.
I just can't understand how they want to police content creators to such an extreme extent. What baffles me more is when you defend yourself, and then they decide to plug their ears and not listen because "they're right, you're wrong."

It pisses me off and frustrates me to no end. I could rant about this bullshit for hours, but fuck if I want to use that much energy... Not like anyone listens nowadays.
I'm just lucky the friend group I happened upon is an accepting bunch. If I didn't rely on my art to get food on my table, I'd just post to very niche communities and that's that.

It's a shame that their extreme actions really did lead to people sharing less content in the long run. "Good" or "bad." It hurts everyone in the end. God it upsets me so much.

I love art like this, semi realism i think? i have no idea what it is.
