no, not yet. but I've had a front row seat at enough cancellations to know that the best thing to to is just not to acknowledge it. and whatever you do don't apologize. sharks smell blood.

>> No.6709622

Yes you always ignore it. When people make a call out post or send their personal army they are doing it in hopes of you 1) fighting back so they can cry they are being bullied 2) post an apology which they will take as a confession and double down on the canceling. Twitter is so braindead that they will also try to cancel you over lack of response too but don't take that bait and get pressured into responding. Let them generate free traffic for you and boost the algorithm.

Close, by association of someone else who got cancelled over what amounted to a petty grudge. It's pretty mindboggling.

It's something people should do in the first place anyway. There's other modes of conversation, privately, and you can curate a smaller group of people to interact with that aren't randos looking for a fight. Public facing accounts should be clean and just about work, you can just make a second one for more personal stuff, and even then I don't trust people to not take things out of context all the time. That's just how twitter is.

A rest, I stopped posting and learnt something else. The other guy stopped too. It was at the early stage of my portfolio building and so I was concerned about the situation. "what if recruiters see these tard spitting on my hardwork? Will they stay pro and impartial?" "if not, how to repair that?" etc...

Agree completely, people here really haven't experienced actual psychos. I had such an incident where some autist schizo would not stop posting about me all over this website because he was angry at someone else I knew, he couldn't do anything to them but realized he could easily abuse me since I was an artist. It's been years and it's still going on even though I deleted my accounts years ago.
No, I didn't do anything and barely ever spoke to him. Yes, I ignored him and never acknowledged him or the insane rumors he started about me. It did not stop, people did not care that they were not true and it just painted a target on my back to the point people wouldn't associate with me. I even eventually saw people here defend me, asking why he was so obsessed with me but he'd just samefag and use that to dunk on me further.
In these kinds of cases ignoring doesn't do anything when people can weaponize the power of anonymous posting to samefag. They can make their insanity seem real and create their own narrative. All the stuff you're seeing in this thread is small time shit that usually fades away.
I learned a lot from this and the lesson is that no one in the art world is ever going to truly be your friend. It's just a networking circlejerk and everyone will throw you under the bus the instant you stop being useful. It was probably naive of me to not realize that but it really opened my eyes as to how artists just see each other as disposable follower boosting tools. Soured me on the entire social media thing entirely.
The other is that truly insane people roam the internet unchecked and there's a hell of a lot of them. All you can do is protect yourself the best you can, as an artist it means just posting your art and nothing else while never associating with anyone online.

I used to think that there is always more to stories like this too because obviously people acting like that makes no sense. I felt very safe online because of that, since I never got involved in drama and thought you had to do something to attract weirdos acting crazy. The truth is sometimes you don't. There are truly insane people online and they can create narratives easily through anonymous posting. I thought the rumors were so batshit that it was laughable anyone would believe them. Lesson learned: people take things at face value all the time and rarely fact check anything. If you shitpost something long enough people just assume it must be true. If you don't know this, it's because you haven't experienced it. Reputation is insanely easy to ruin online if you're dedicated enough and no amount of minding your business and ignoring it can stop freaks with nothing to do other than shitpost all day.
>>6716070
No I didn't. It wasn't jealousy, no idea where you got that from, it was that I was an easy target since the person could not directly do anything to the person I knew. They could do things to me, though, since I had an audience, and the person started to project their anger on me. Yes it's completely insane because this person is completely insane.
>>6716042
>You could make an off color joke or piss off the wrong person and they will run a cross country relay with it.
Yes, people don't realize how obsessive some schizos become. I used to presume everyone was pretty reasonable online so nothing could ever happen to me, the reality is you have low functioning people who have been abandoned by life and legitimately have nothing else to do than spend 24/7/365 online obsessing over random shit like this. They have nothing else in their life to break the stalking cycle, it's an obsessive behavior. All you can do to protect yourself is only posting art and not associating with people.

If it’s someone from here, how do you know it’s the same person if we’re anonymous? Have you considered you attract the same type of people everywhere you go and possibly befriend the same people? How do you know it’s not someone close to you messing with you and you’re triggering out thinking it’s someone specific going after you when it’s not? You said so yourself about protecting your identity and not associating, etc, but what i’m not able to add up is why you think, whoever this person is, they’re going after you because “they couldn’t do anything to the person you knew”? That part doesn’t make sense.

Why would that matter and why would you assume an anonymous person is doing that? You could just be giving too much credit to 1 person and you have multiple enemies.
