Some of you idiots gotta learn the phrase "don't feed the trolls" instead of trying to impose moral rules on the act of purposefully trying to enrage someone.
@negxtivespxce and if i had to point to the real problem, I wouldn't say it's Shep. Him being more popular than a lot of better artists I could name is a symptom - he's not some mastermind.
It's the algorithms and the nature of internet fame, as well as a community that eats his shit up.
@negxtivespxce i think fame is a dice roll and it's a little silly to be pissed a mediocre guy is being mediocre with it.
it's like being mad some dipshit in Louisiana won the powerball and wasted it on a fast-depreciating boat.
its all not my toilet not my poop really. i got bigger fish
@TheHammbug And just because he's famous and popular does not mean it's now morally right to shit on him just for having lots of fans. You can absolutely hate his art style and have different taste, but "this is NOT art" is not an acceptable take.
@TheHammbug People are not mad at Shep. He's receiving the brunt of the hate, but he didn't do shit.
People, without realizing it, are mad at the fact that fame is a crapshoot, and are taking it out on Shep.
I don't think he deserves the fame or the hate - but fame is almost never deserved
@Glorybunner@TheHammbug We all know fame is unearned and mediocrity can win a game of random chance.
Nobody shoots their nearest mega millions winner for getting handed the prize.
Anyone salty over this probably isn't really mad at the milquetoast artist and is more mad at the way the world works.
