The idea that "artists need to make their more palatable for wider audiences, especially if their work becomes popular, because people are currently media illiterate and it's the artist's social responsibility to make their art digestible for mass audiences" is fascist rhetoric. It is especially fascist rhetoric when you say it about queer art.

You are repeating fascist propaganda about the "function" of art in society that has blatantly worked on you.

i am unfortunately the friend in question, and its fucking insane to me that the stance that sexual harassment is bad has gotten me cut off by people, some of which are involved on some level with the madness franchise itself. ive been made to feel like an insane person who is purposely and maliciously spreading false allegations, even when what they did is public. one of my partners has even received pretty detailed threats. im honestly worried that ive socially nuked myself out of being able to ever safely participate in this fandom again, outside of friend circles, which sucks because i was already trying to overcome being so intimidated by the tumblr fandom after a fallout with other people within community at almost the same time last year x_x.

> I ask if the Zone is creepy or wet

> He doesn't understand

> I light a cigarette and make my speech about what constitutes something being creepy or wet

> He does not laugh and says "The Zone demands respect"

animators like jsoull, overtry, moiani, and kokkare do such horrible shit and even go as far as mass harassing smaller madcom artists and NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT IT for sake of “keepin dah peace” or even also attacking others on their behalf!!

ive talked before about how this fandom is way too small to be starting random drama but this isnt even drama this is people just straight up being horrible people and everyone NOT CARING because “they made x animation!!” “theyre just ragebaiting you!!”

we just keep letting people get away with doing horrible shit and putting down literally everyone who has something to say about them. were actively making this fandom seem like a safe haven for bigots and pedophiles by continuing to let these people be platformed and ignoring the nasty shit theyve done, and EVERY SINGLE TIME SOMEONE CALLS IT OUT THEY GET PEDOJACKETED

ive got two friends right now getting accused of being pedos themselves by the entirety of the quiet madness group just for having the guts to publicly condemn the group’s sexual harassment of an actual 17yo

i know too many people who have been victims to how fucking insane this fandom is and every single time theyre told “just block them!” when you literally CANT just block them because theyre everywhere and have such a tall platform in the fandom. quiet madness is such a big group that is constantly collaborating on madness fan stuff and everybody just ignores how nasty and horrible they are.

just a lil pick me up a bit old redraw (2025) of an even older drawing (2023)
