i might get a ton of hate out of this but
as an artist, i dont feel safe on tumblr anymore. At first i used to upload my art in here all the time. Now, with all these fandoms making the rules for how to draw a certain character, how black do they have to be, and how fat, us artists are not making art for the sake of it anymore.
Everything on this site has to be appealing for them, the so called fandoms. You get behind walls and walls of texts naming each and every thing that makes you “oppressed”, you feel like you’re empowered enough to tell artists how to do the stuff we love. And you’re capable of harrasing us to the point of making us commit suicide, just because we didn’t make our character an obese sapiosexual transdemigirl.
Oh and dont we dare call you out on this bigotry. You’re just a mentally ill seventeen years old child, and somehow telling you that bullying people it’s not okay makes us child abusers.
If you’re old enough to get on this site and tell people to kill themselves over a fucking drawing, then you’re mature enough to take responsibility for your actions.
Like, whatever friend, you keep doing your thing: harrasing, doxxing, bullying, making yourself look like the victim over a piece of art that wasn’t made to offend you; but at least don’t hide behind a “i’m just a kid omg uwu” when people call you out on your bullshit.
And i didnt really make this post for me here. I have less than 200 followers, i havent even made friends on this site, tumblr isnt my safe haven or my happy place, I could delete my blog like it was no big deal. But for many other artists this is the place where they come to be who they really are, in this site they’ve met the friends that had kept them going when things were hard in school or in their homes. This was their favorite site, a place where they could take a break and have fun, without being judged for liking ponies or homestuck or whatever.
But look at what you’ve done. You’ve made a social network made for artists and fans a sjw circlejerk where you get to choose who stays and who is a racist ableist cis scum that deserves to be harassed to death. Well done.
