How do I gain a following without attracting the 0.1% of super weirdos?

>> No.3481333

get good

>> No.3481334

If I can't avoid attracting super weirdos working in a small retail store that often sees less than two dozen people even coming in to browse a day there's no way you're going to avoid them on the internet. Fucking block people that give you even the slightest reason to.

you cant

>> No.3481356

Don't draw NSFW,furry or fetish art and you'll only have entry-level weirdos... (you can't avoid them unless you only draw Natures mortes or landscapes, maybe)

in my experience. if you limit your furry art to the superior kemono.

most furry weirdos tend to vanish of your sight.
that includes the weird fetishist too.

Don't post porn and don't post about politics. Your always going to get assholes and weirdos but if you keep post to art related stuff and block/ignore people who are retarded you'll be fine. Also if you're a woman I'd suggest not posting any overly sexual selfies.

Don’t engage with them. This includes making content, communicating, replying, or otherwise pandering to them.

You will ultimately grow a fandom for whatever you make (however small that fandom may be), so make stuff for fans you’d want to have.

>> No.3481583

Just ignore & block anyone with an anime avatar.

kemono are just themselves. no a representation of some people, fursonas whatever. maybe that has do do with it.

imo I cant deal with western snouts and teeth.

>> No.3482062

people who act like "kemono" is anything other than the japanese term for "furry" are the worst kind of weeaboo

The weirdos will always be your first followers because they're obsessives who check certain tags every day if not multiple times a day. Heck, I'm one of those weirdos myself for certain things.

Ignore them. You will gain more followers with time.

Don't write off weirdos so quickly.
Maybe they have one weird thing (over-enthusiastic about paws) but are boring regular people otherwise.

kemono is good because I cant read japanese so I'd like to imagine those moonruners are way less autistic than their western counterparts(which is probably easy to do) also its generally more appealing

If your works has a professional touch to it then you'll attract companies and studios not individuals and hobbyists.

Why would you want to avoid weirdos? They'll be your core fanbase no matter what, they're generally fine people, and they're the whales who will be commissioning you constantly.

Kemono is superior.
