Hey, I typed something... Take a gander at this beaut.

I always feel a little... I dunno...guilty? Whenever I follow an artist or a commissioner who has art in their gallery that features mostly males and I always skip over those pieces of art.
Not being attracted to males is something I can't be sorry for. It's just how my brain was wired. And yet, I feel like I should be sometimes. Like, seeing so many artists/commissioner not caring whether or not there's no boobs on a person or whether or not they have a penis or something makes me feel like I'm the odd one out. Makes me feel like I'm the one in the wrong. And I know it shouldn't, yet it does.
So whenever I happen upon a gallery with like 70% male-focused art, I feel bad when I'm there just for the 30%, the minority of their art. Because of this, I decided to un-follow some artists because I was only there for the minority of their art and not all of it. When they began uploading a lot of art featuring things that I didn't like, I felt like I just...shouldn't follow them anymore. I still love their art and occasionally visit, but I don't really feel like following them anymore because I know this cycle will just repeat itself with me only liking the art that they'll sometimes make.

Yeah, nothing to be feel bad about there. I do the same myself. I will watch people who have a particular character or piece I like a lot and later just get disinterested in what they end up submitting later on. It's not meant to be insulting, just looking to remove a lot of stuff from my inbox I just don't care for.

OP
Yeah, I can't enjoy everything that someone makes, despite how much I want to. I also know that there's absolutely no way that these artist would know or care if I skipped over one of their pieces but to me, it just feels wrong.
