not like I even talk in servers anymore but of course this person is talking so much in there. Fuck me man I don't want to drudge up old fucking bones like this.

also why did that have to be a whole thing like on god are you serious?

feels like I got the vibe Hardcore of "this is a bad idea" and it has me so anxious now, I want to trust because hey, I want to believe in this. But it's like I also can't be sure and I am willingly giving up my own autonomy a bit.

i can't for sure say nor do i know what will happen.. idk

idk I feel like as much as I had thought I would be doing good and I want to help, am I not just digging a new hole for myself?

barely just getting my life together, and I am so anxious and unsure if this is the right move

It is perhaps the specific community around certain entities, but even from my own experience, I've known some into that who were weird and gross.

Birds of a feather and whatnot, not saying one begets the other but I do think I'm gonna judge a lil harsher those who come from it.

anyways, the joke is funny If You Get It but like Funny in that "this is painful a reality so instead of cry I laugh"

Volatile because there's people who want to cry moral panic over it and pressure platforms to bust in creators' kneecaps because they think that porn is a sin. People who unfortunately have been elected into our offices (mainly speaking of the US but other places got it bad too)

That's for ME though, other artists can either make more OR LESS than me doing it far more full-time than I ever did. Not trying to claim that nsfw is bad, because it isn't. But why the fuck are we getting mad at the fellow artist in this rat race when the problem is how volatile doing NSFW art is?

But also, drawing pregnant characters has been a good source of income for me where I needed it. Certainly if I peddled harder and made more of an effort, I could have had a little more of a steady income. By no means "35k a week" but maybe "8k a year"

I do not DOUBT that nsfw artists are under a fuckton more scrutiny, hell, it's been one of the things that has hindered me as an artist and made me self conscious when applying for jobs seeking talent representation to work in children's books. My portfolio is pregnant men, what the fuck am I doing?

But no, y'all saw "anime sex make number go Up and humble modest cartoonist recognized by big corporation go under-represented" like wtf do you all know how to read an XY graph?

And thank you to the people explaining the literal flaw being pointed out by the joke post, "nsfw artists have to worry more about their job security because of societal puritanism"

so like how the chart shows that society is conservative and harmful to SWs and artists because of those shit morals?

"idk where people pull these numbers from"

I bet part of it is because so many people are envious of the creator for having what seems like a "socially acceptable and respected successful career in art" but idk that person was the one to talk about how companies shortlist them and they advocate for artists receiving pay they're worth.

Sorry to be just super EXTRA rude, but are we For Real going to tout this platform as being better than twitter when literally this platform is just twitter again?

Just get a fucking grip and consider that this is not a personal attack on your ego, for godsakes.

The joke... did not.. say it... did something happen that collectively disconnect critical thinking in like all y'alls brains or was it something you were born with??

OP: clarifies their stance and is clearly not coming for anyone specifically

this fucking geniusiac with triple IQ:

I will do commission art in the future, but I def need to be able to just enjoy my art for what it is and stop feeling so reliant on it being the best it can be for my future job security.

i mean I was getting chedda from the commission work I had been doing and I'm grateful, but this is just gonna be so much more and gives me something to do every day.
