people have been mean online for the entire 20 years i've been online-- i understand nostalgia for a pre-internet time when you weren't under scrutiny from the entire world, but i just don't think it's true that there's ever been a time when online communities were "nice"

i am like soullessly capitalistic about artmaking as a means of survival, because basically every job is soullessly capitalistic in some way or another, but if money wasn't an issue for me, i would prefer not to sell art at all

i don't brook with nostalgia for a time when nerds were a small, maligned subculture, because that nostalgia is used to sell products in the current day where nerds shape (and Are) popular culture, particularly a culture of overproduction and overconsumption
