a moment if you will

more and more-- I'm like seeing things on here and mostly on tumblr
of people getting extremely hostile over little things with art more and more

"what you drew iS OFFENSIVE!"

"Hey, you're not allowed to post/draw that, because you're not (insert whatever race, religion, culture), GTFO"

and idk
its making me like-- not want to post my stuff online too much anymore??
I mean I'll still post things like refs and commissions
But it's like-- people can't do much with their art anymore
without being ridiculed that they're offending someone or that they shouldn't be able to express themselves through whatever they want to draw anymore

Like-- its ridiculous. I wish the internet was like how it was a few years back
where I didn't feel like I need to tip top over eggshells and worry that I'll get backlash or something
The internet has become EXTREMELY OVERSENSITIVE. And it's really upsetting to look at.

I see good artists get they names dragged through the dirt, over some petty shit.


I've always said I'll never put my opinions on the internet, because I'm afraid of what people will say to me
I don't want to be one of those artists/people who say one thing that's on their mind, only to have their whole life or reputation or career poured down the drain--
I rather keep my mouth shut and stay out of trouble-- stay out of the cesspool that is the internet, especially tumblr

But right now it could effect what I post from now on-- probably 
Idk
Certain things will definitely be kept to EXTREME close friends


I'm still working up to getting active on here again, but I'm still needing to concentrate on life at home.
I'm probably going to try and post something really soon, but we'll see! I've only been doing sketches of stuff
and honestly I don't want to post just sketches


Anyways, in closing, say whatever you like
whether you agree or disagree
want to accuse me of things (which I don't think will happen tbh :/ )
whatever you'd like
 
I'm extremely indifferent rn but I will try to respond to everyone (or anyone for that matter, I don't normally get comments on journals like these)
