furaffinity: internet sandbox?
17 years ago
To judge by recent artwork, the avg. age of the FA 'artist' is maybe 14. Perhaps even younger.
It's nice to see that the fandom has a robust junior division, but it would be nice if juvenile artistic expression could be fairly identified as such, and moved to a kids' section.
Yeah, I'm a cranky old cat. But seriously, kids, that fur-themed doodle that you did instead of paying attention in your fifth-period English class, maybe it's best not to post that. Put a little effort in. At least color the damn line-drawing in. And don't just slavishly imitate the manga comics you've been reading.
(btw, I'm the weird old guy who has to step over you in the Barnes and Noble to get to the paltry selection of Euro "graphic novels" shelved way out out on the end of all that big-eyed, pointy-haired Japanese kawaii vapidity. Damn kids all over the floor, not buying anything. Actually, I approve the not buying anything. I just wish you'd vary your consumption a little.)
FA+

(Can a nihilist say that, or does it violate some cosmic law?)
I don't think any spirit worthy of governing the universe really minds. :)
