Again more doubt in the fandom
8 years ago
Another "depressing" journal from me I guess? 1st one in oh months? Anyway yea again doubting weather or not I should stay in the fandom. Seems no matter what I do even apologizing gets me attacked. What's worse is no one comes to help, it happens on social media like telegram and kik and on FA as well. Some friends are very supporting, the rest just blow me off or ignore me. Anyway I recently "upset" an artist without knowing it. I commented on his style, saying it reminds me of another of my favorite artists style. He seemed cool and chill at 1st but then the 2nd or 3rd note was just hurtful and nasty, completely uncalled for. He pretty much said "leave me alone and don't ask for commissions", not those exact words but close. 2nd time it's happened. 1st time a different artist just out right blocked me, no reason to because I never did anything wrong. This 2nd time was out of the blue. Why is this fandom going to shit? Is it just a "phase" to keep up with those edgy meme lord douch bags?
they have effectively HELPED you by self-selecting themselves out of the pool of people you have to deal with.
any given fandom is going to have a number of people like this and the idea is to never worry about them. find the good folks and stick to those like glue.
these "artists" have proved themselves as "not-good-people" and you shouldn't give them any more time/space in your head.
