Question about Pride Month
6 months ago
General
Hi guys! I have a question for you.
How do you feel about artists who don't care about the rights of the LGBT+ community, but who make money on art with such characters?
I come across many artists who speak dismissively about queer people and their problems, but at the same time make commissions with the participation of such characters. For me personally, this is open hypocrisy. I have been silent for a long time due to fear of bullying and do not name anyone. But I am tired, and during Pride month I do not like to see a lot of YCH from such people.

How do I feel about that?
It's disgusting
If they are anti-LGBT+, I'd would just not interact with them. If you don't like that.
As They still have a right to be straight and have their opinions.
As you and I have a right to be (blank) and with X opinion's. 🤔
But I do feel you on that, like and the company's that put pride colors in their logos... When a lot of them don't give a fuck about pride. Just the good PR and money. <..<
It's unfortunately not illegal. :/
I feel like people should just be generally accepting of other people. If what someone is doing is not actively harming other people, then I have no problem with what people do. I do not agree with selling art that you disagree with it is why I don't draw porn. I have no problem with porn, but I chose not to draw it. (Even if it makes the most money from the numbers alone.) I chose to draw what I want to draw.
That being said. I think it is a shit person who thinks that other people are "less" than someone else. Like we are all alive and should build a better future. We can have our differences, but life is about finding ways to cooperate. We don't have to agree on everything.
Anyway, that's my random thoughts on the thing. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
I feel artists who speak ill about our rights as people should be held accountable because usually their tune changes once their source of income is affected. I've seen it time and time again over many years. Sorry to hear that you have to see this and then feel the need to stay silent just to keep the peace so to speak.
However, thank you for speaking out since it always takes a lot of courage to do so and I for one really appreciate it! I'm hoping things will get better in time but that's still a load road ahead.
I'm actually surprised at hearing this in this community - one who holds differences and acceptance at a high level... I guess it takes all kinds.
Like if they openly said something against LGBT+ somewhere, word gets around fast and knowing our community they would not be welcomed again.
Also it's disgusting and really sad they are "happy pride month everyone - here a pride themed YCH" but behind closed curtains don't care and are just after money. That's how it feels like anyways.
