I dont know if you've noticed any of this from some journals of artists youre watching or shit like that but I find it kind of sad when people will shell out their money just because the artists asks for donations. I have absolutely nothing against the artists themselves, hell, if I could draw id be asking for donations too. But I just find it absolutely stupid how people just give their moey away like that. I bet you if I asked some furs around here and was pleading that my life is terrible because I cant pay bills and all im eating is ramen, NO ONE would give me anything.
FA+

What are we talking about here for this donations thing?
Like..If the artists typically charge very little then I wouldn't mind.
And are you saying it's just some non-artist popufur asking for money?
And say it's a someone who draws a comic strip that's popular or something like that and you wanna see it keep going or things like that etc..
Just saying, if the artist does a lot of free or cheap work, it's not unreasonable to ask fans for a contribution so the work can continue
Also, if you're being such a realist, Because they can.
And it depends on what you mean by 'throw away'. Like I said, they could just be financing something that they enjoy, call it an investment.
Like investing in a TV show to keep it from getting cancelled or something.
