All of you are wonderful. Thank you so much for the support you've shown me. Every like, comment, repost, follow truly means a lot to me.
This is a very challenging time for artists, between ALL of twitter, FA's Pokemon crackdown, predatory scraping of art, AI 'artwork, the writer's strike, and now P**reon's payment issues over the last few days. It's a very stressful time for creatives. Because of these issues and with artists lives in constant jeopardy because of the arbitrary choices of billionaires and companies, artists need to constantly be ready to jump ship to the next platform just to stay afloat.
It means making a presence on dozens of platforms simultaneously, building followings there, and maintaining them, which is a difficult and long process for most independent creators. There is a reason companies hire people to run their social media presences. It's a grind and a lot more time consuming then people may realize.
If you can, I really urge you to follow your favorite artists on multiple platforms. Repost art directly from the source, link to their galleries and socials. It really helps them grow their presence. Leave them a nice comment, and favorite their art, writing, music or whatever they do.
A kind comment really means a lot and it's far more motivating then you might realize.
It's not viable for everyone, but if you can, support artist financially, even a dollar a month makes a HUGE difference. If every one donated a dollar a month to their favorite artist, it would make so many artists lives easier and they would be able to continue to create the content you enjoy.
BUT if you do, and you plan to support on P**reon wait a few days till they sort their shit out...

Another question is after the new rule went affect on FA I didn't notice any takedowns or suspensions regarding pokemon, thinking it was an overreaction. Do you think you can find any artists that has claim to be a victim even if their pokemon claim to be adult age?
Like I know argonvile ended up being a victim, but I wanted to know if there any other artist that are victims as well.
It mostly bothers me because they never provided any actual examples of what they're looking for, so both the artists and mods are going off of their interpretation and best guess. The problem with that, is that people tend to be pretty bad at interpreting things the same as everyone else based on vague description alone.
(I also had to get rid of a goofy plushie pic)
