@notkemonogomi I think you’re missing the one big element here: nobody is is being brainwashed into buying the furry stick figure commission. These people are making the active conscious decision to buy it. It’s a consensual transaction I assure you.
small artists need to understand that nobody is obligated to commission them just because they’re small artists good god if you guys put more effort into your own work instead of complaining about popular artists for just existing 24/7 maybe more people would be interested
to be so honest i really dislike that people can get so popular that youre allowed to color a stick figure and people will throw however much money you say, but smaller artists lower prices for the third time this month because they cant afford food and no one will comm them.
@notkemonogomi Your diagnosis is: You get a kick out of being an asshole to people who are better off than you. You justify it by demonizing people you don’t actually know and think you’re morally superior because of it.
Every argument against this so far has just been some form of “woe is me!! popufurs killed my grandma!! I get less likes so I deserve money more than them!!” or people calling me dense and not elaborating as well as spreading misinformation. You’re all mentally ill. I love you
Coming back just to say that it’s okay to be jealous. It’s ok to envy popular artists for being able to sell shitpost drawings. But at some point you need to get over it. Stop acting like these artists are trying to personally sabotage your livelihood bru they don’t know you
@notkemonogomi Missing the point final boss. I’m not saying that all small artists are bad, I’m saying they should take the energy they put into being jealous and bitter and instead use that energy to focus on themselves and learn how to advertise their commissions
@hawkbird_ Artists shouldn’t be using the amount of time they spend on their work as a way to guilt trip people into commissioning them though. Which is what a lot of these small artists do.
@somethingSp3ax@AnonFudge@eevyi__ 1) do you have proof of any of that
2) even then, that has nothing to do with Shep and is not his responsibility lmfao
anyways im gaining traction again I should engage in furry drama more often.. kidding, kidding, we all have fun here I’ll probably begin posting art and an intro post sometime
@AnonFudge@eevyi__ You ppl are so annoying. I’m not defending that one singular artist, I’m defending the countless other artists that get attacked like this because small artists can’t get over their own jealousy.
@eevyi__ I think the sentiment of “you should commission artists even if you don’t like their art because it makes them feel better” is kind of dumb. Yes small artists deserve support but commissioners also deserve quality artwork especially if they’re spending money on it
