So this has been happening A LOT lately. Just because an artist is popular and their art is good doesn’t mean that EVERYTHING they do (this includes the content they make) is right! Just because they’re popular and cool doesn’t make them a nice person! They drown out the other artists and people who are genuinely triggered by their toxic beliefs and content. Incest and pedophilia is wrong. It’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. Fictional or not, it’s absolutely disgusting. And when big artists draw and support this content young and impressionable people start to think it’s okay too. We need to END this. There are even artists with a horrible track record of treating people awfully but since they’re so ‘popular’ people ignore the fact!! Then they start interacting with other artists who have done no wrong and are not aware of these big artists wrongdoings- And the people who follow these good artists and or people start to see the ‘big artists’ content even though they have meticulously took the time to block and blacklist all their content. It’s hurts us, it really does. Once again;
JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS COOL, POPULAR OR THEIR ART IS GOOD DOESN’T MEAN THAT THEY’RE ALWAYS RIGHT OR A GOOD PERSON.
I really want to throw in my two cents on this subject first by saying I semi agree and smei disagree with it.
I will whole heartedly acknowledge this in fact a problem in just about any community/fandom that goes on. Iv seen some pretty bad people have pretty good reputation just because they are popular and thats about it.
But I also want to throw and add onto the “Just because someone is cool and popular or there art is good doesn’t mean they are always right or a good person” and add
-just because someone isn’t popular doesn’t mean they are a bad person
-just because someone draws good stuff doesn’t mean they are a good person
-just because someone draws something taboo doesn’t make them a bad person.
How about we just, stop tying people to the art they draw? One of the most important things I learned as a growing artist in a communitee that sometimes wants to rip eachothers throat out is. Seperate an artist from their work so you don’t demonize them for what they draw.
I feel this post has some bias itself to it- If not the artist themself has had a realllllly bad time with certain people in ther comunitee, which I can respect and understand.
But some of the people who I have met that draw the most fucked up taboo shit. Rape, incest, abuse, necro, etc. Are some of the nicest people I still ascociate myself to, to this day.
Bouncing over to the topic on pedophilia and Incest. I want to say Im already extremely bias, one because I don’t like pedophilia in the slightest and will avoid it whenever I can. And incest I find kinda interesting in the relationship perspective, but god forbid I don’t like seeing it IRL, ties knots in my stomache when that happens.
I feel like we are overlooking key elements in story telling and world/character building aspect of this. A lot of stories use these taboo areas to put together a decent and realistic story not with the intention of making you feel good, or happy, or remotely justified in life. But to male you squirm in your seat, a series of uncomfortablenes as you flip through the pages.
The world is not a perfect place, we should make an effort to make it better. But let people draw what they want as long as it follows the law and stop bashing them. Including myself because Im tired of getting demonized for some of my characters that have infact got several trigger warnings attached to them.
Hey, so beardie, which end is your ass and which end is your mouth? I’m having a real hard time telling the difference with shit coming out of both ends. As someone who used to be your friend, you being one to draw porn for a minor, having streamed with someone who drew foal con. I’d like to say this now
You have no room to talk. I’m sick of you and your games.
“Just cause someone draws it they’re not bad”
REGARDLESS OF THAT STATE. THEY ARE BAD. THAT IS BAD. WHAT THE FUCK? IT’S ILLEGAL. It’s morally wrong. To draw child porno, or incest or anything like that opens a safe space for people who actually like that and are bad people. This is without you actively saying it. you’re supporting big named Artist’s content.
This doesn’t matter if the world is a perfect place, of fucking course it’s not you sound like a fucking idiot. YOU, ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. If you think any of this bullshit is okay, you should stand back and check yourself.
If you wouldn’t do this offline, draw, support pedophilia, Don’t do it online. Don’t do it. MLP, Cuphead. A LOT OF FANDOMS HAVE A RAMPANT ISSUE WITH THIS. You are spreading bad content, if you wouldn’t want a show on TV to do it, why the fuck is it okay for an artist to do it? You’re hitting an audience. Also i only skimmed your damn post. Am I gonna hit all the shit points and combat them? No,fuck you. cause what you put in front of my eyes, on MY FRIENDS POST. Is dangerous. You have a lot of young impressionable followers. I have a lot of young impressionable followers, Unless your blog is marked NSFW, then you are being a role model for these people. Your content doesn’t have to cater to them but it should be safe and view able for anyone.
And this, No I WILL NOT DO THAT. I will see you as a pedophile, if you draw pedophilia, incest, etc; If you draw that content purely out of kink or fetish or in general, you’ll be branded with a label, and that’s how it is in real life. You’re not entitled to safety. Not for me or anyone else. If you defend people like that, you are not entitled to safety from me or anyone else.
Also there’s a difference between story telling and it being content you draw for fun or because it gets you off, This post was outlining that fact. This has absolutely nothing to do with story telling. this has everything to do with being a big named artist who produces content for everyone to see. If suddenly the MLP show started to allow Foalcon and said “it’s for story telling” you’d be furious. That’s a fucking excuse. Stop using it. If you’re story contains elements that involve any element like this, that’s fine as a writer there will be that stuff in it. But as an artist, and what this post is targeted at. You as a big named artist have a responsibility to be smart and not post, any of the stuff that can easily get you put in jail. You can’t kinda agree with this post. YOU EITHER AGREE AND KNOW THIS IS FACT. OR YOU DON’T AND SHUT THE FUCK UP.
AS I SAID BEFORE YOU BETTER STEP THE FUCK OFF. OP HAS NO BIAS THIS IS LITERALLY A RAMPANT ISSUE. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. PEOPLE HAVE A LEGIT PROBLEM WITH IT. THIS IS A PROBLEM. FOR FUCKS SAKE. WHAT BLIND DITCH DID YOU CRAWL OUT OF TO THINK WHAT YOU ARE ARE SAYING IS OKAY.
You better check yourself, i don’t know what happened in a year for you to change your mind about this, maybe your new found popularity get wedged up your ass to far. But you missed the point of this post, you missed the message and this post is directed at you. You are the problem, and you better change yourself before it comes and bites you in the ass.
