iNet people... like being in high school
14 years ago
..¤*|Imagine this type of art|*¤.. I was watching a stream just moments ago and I couldn't help but be just a little offended by the
attitudes and poor temperments that were seen. Now, I won't say any names but I can say, judging
by how this girl and her two mods conduct themselves and talk to her viewers, I'm surprised she has
so many.
One of the rules is "don't rp in the stream". Now, what I know to be RP is like... a paragraph or two of
character actions, thoughts, possible foreshadowing and dialog. In this stream, however, saying
something like "*sits and watches*" will get you kicked out. Here's the weirdest part... I'm use to
people on the internet being bullies. Once the word "troll" started being used to define iNet bullies, it
became even a cooler thing. Aside from that, it's easy to be mean and aggressive through the comp.
This, we already know. The weird part is that, in this stream, when the artist and her mods are being
mean to the viewers, no one is being mean right back.
She posts up subs saying she's taking free requests and I don't hate her for that. What I dislike is that
her art has become a commodity to her viewers... that they'll eat the shit she feeds them if for the slim
CHANCE that she MIGHT draw their character during that stream. Nevermind that when she asks for ref
sheets, her mods on the side send in pics of her own sona to be drawn.
One person asks "so has anyone gotten any weird christmas gifts?"
Her answer was "nope. no one cares moving on"
Another person says how they'd gotten a harmonica.
Her response "no one cares, moving on"
Someone posts one of those emotes "*giggles*"
someone who as recently barked on for it says "mind your rp actions and **s"
You'd think the situation is settled, Noooooo her mods gotta chime in "MIND YOUR MODDING"
the other fellas response "just helping"
the mod "idc"
I feel it's sad how cruel and angry our internet world has become and yet we cling to it like a last
breath. You'd think with how much we enjoy the internet and some of the friends we've made on
here that we'd make it part of our interest to keep the circles around us clean... that we'd learn to
be nice to one another. Not because "it's the internet don't take it seriously", some of us thrive on
the internet. It's our source of income, it's our escape from reality, a home away from home.
The way I see it, watchers shouldn't be so quick to bend to the will of one artist because they want
that chance to get their char drawn. They shouldn't allow themselves to be bullied when, in another
situation, they'd defend themselves. What I think should've happened was, the moment ol' girl and
her goons started being so mean, her viewer list takes a dive. I wasn't offended by them; they didn't
say anything to me and I minded my business because I don't care to involve myself in that drama.
I left the stream, unwatched her FA and wondered how many times does it take viewers to be stepped
on to do the same thing. Everyone has their boiling points but know i'll never come straight out of
my face being mean and disrespectful. I owe it to my viewers to be kind and polite; approachable
and friendly if not neutral until there's a vibe. But that's just me... my art isn't treated as a commodity
and I've enough humility to be grateful towards those who admire.
I hope you guys are enjoying your holidays.

Not really, but regardless.
Merry Christmas to ya's, as well~
...Or, maybe it did, but I just didn't see it all that well; I didn't get bothered much, as I kept to myself. Either way... I certainly hope I don't know this person!
The About section to her stream isn't an opening to welcome her viewers but a list of "Don't do this, this and this" with a side order of "i don't want to see any drama"... but her and her stream mods seem to be content with starting the drama themselves. it just seems off and even worse since people like her art so much that they'll bite the bullet.
I went in her stream eager for some free art but... I don't sell myself to behavior like that.
Then again, I'm too much of a brat to listen to them x3~
