I don't care, at all, about social media clout. My goal with this account is to document and share my art collection, not for favs or attention, but just for the process of expressing it.

So, I've been choosing some of my uploads with a small specific intent. A specific transphobic person with a thing for clowngirls had been faving my Whimsy art. I don't care about raising my stats on this site, and I am a bit of a petty bitch, so I have actively tried to focus on Whimsy's nature as a trans allegory to get them to stop and/or unfav my Whimsy art. I'm not desperate enough for attention that I'd take it from someone like that.

I'm proud to say, that it's worked(at least partially).

I get that it's petty, but it was gratifying to me. I don't want my art to be appealing to transphobes with clown fetishes.

I appreciate the favs and comments I do get, they are validating. It's just not what's most important to me.
