sampling of hate comments i've received in the past month
4 years ago
(AKA: why you should always say nice things to artists if you like their work.)
This ain't it. This truly ain't it.
and so "littlestfuzz" suddenly heard as it were a voice of a great thunder, like that of the roar of many waters coming down from heaven saying: "dude: what the fucking hell is wrong with you?" (it seemed that the LORD was somewhat upset with the """creative works""" of mankind.)
im having fucking flashbacks / THIS IS SO FUCKING CURSED IM WHEEZING
Ack! Begone with this abomination!
Well this is fuckn' cursed.
(whatever this is)
ok I’m not reblogging this because I want it I’m just reblogging because I’m scared
(in defense of that last one, they apologized after i called them out on it)
This isn't trying to pity-monger or act like a victim. I've been online for decades, I know I can't expect every interaction to be pleasant, and that a thick skin is necessary if you're going to post content.
I just want to draw some attention to how defeatist it can be when you're starting out as an artist, especially one of the NSFW sort. I don't have a big following, and oftentimes, these are the only sort of feedback I'll receive on a piece, and you can imagine how disheartening that is.
Please don't only leave comments for only the big famous artists with 40k followers. They will be fine, I promise. Online culture is shifting towards consuming media silently and dispassionately, and if it keeps in that direction, no one will want to make things anymore.
