@trauma_camp@hexprax@A_Hammer_Boy she could have just shown her boy with his painted nails and not commented on it- that’s normalizing. pointing out that you’re normalizing something instead of just doing it simply reiterates the fact that its “abnormal” in an attempt to make the poster seem brave and courageous
@whosbris @Spee_ow @RedshellOW parents, if they allow their children on twitter, should utilize the easy parental features in place. then there is absolutely no worry about seeing adult content and adults that use twitter within it’s guidelines don’t have to censor themselves. it’s really not that difficult.
@Spee_ow @whosbris @RedshellOW my whole point is that we shouldnt censor ALL of the internet just bc there are kids on it. i just dont want EVERY non-porn platform becoming “family-friendly!” bc we see how well thats going for youtube and tumblr. twitter has great parental features in place, ppl should use em.
@whosbris @RedshellOW i do think its the parents fault- if they don’t want their children seeing adult content, they shouldn’t be allowed on a platform that allows it. even if he didn’t post nsfw photos, if the kid made it to twitter bc of him theres still a world of fucked up shit they can find here
@Spee_ow @whosbris @RedshellOW orrr i won’t be the person that lets my children use the internet completely unregulated. twitter has never been a child-friendly platform. it’s as simple as that. don’t want your kids seeing it? don’t let them on a platform that totally allows nudity and adult content.
@ameriluka @snitchery “i just like how it looks” is a perfectly valid reason and meaning for a piece: art is subjective and highly personal, and anyone who tries to police others on how “meaningful” their art is literally just a snob. be proud of your work :)
@snitchery but thats only if you’re seeking online clout for your work- which can definitely help with networking and opportunities, but isn’t completely necessary
@snitchery it does kinda suck for people who take longer to produce art in a market where people are so used to things coming out so fast and frequently. having more content to release helps keep people interested, which can create a larger platform faster than someone “better” but slower
