i hope one day you all get be 40 and you remember what it was like to be 12 and are able to find reflections of your younger self in characters and perhaps understand that getting to see those reflections is a gift that comes with age
i actually think creating an environment that lessens people's fear of creating something bad is precisely what allows people to take risks and make something great. yes, a LOT of people will make bad art in that environment, but i don't think that's so scary.
