WOw we are not being shy today ok. i got this. #25?
That's what I like to hear fuck yeah thanks for the ask!
25. Common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing?
I talked about this a little bit in a previous ask for #6, but I'll say it here again. I think it's really annoying when people come into a fandom space and complain about something they don't like IN THAT SPACE. Most common example is people who hate shipping coming into the SHIPPING TAG and being like I hate shipping. THEN GET OUT OF THE SHIPPING TAG. There are plenty of spaces in the fandom to go where there aren't gonna be things you hate. It is YOUR responsibility to curate your experience. Block, follow, block again, block MORE. Do whatever the fuck you need to do, as long as I don't have to HEAR about it. Get the hell out of the bread aisle if you don't like bread, there's PLENTY MORE GROCERY STORE fucking christ
Other than that, I'm sick of seeing people complain when creators don't make things for a specific fandom anymore. People are not machines. They are not "content" generators. Their interests, energy, and inspiration will fluctuate. Every time I see an artist apologize for being inactive, I kill another influencer. WHO taught you you exist for others' entertainment? This is YOUR blog. It is your space where you put YOUR things. It is other people's PRIVILEGE to see what you create. They are on your blog because you have kindly given them the opportunity to see what you create. Who taught you that something you've vulnerably given to the internet to enjoy can then be digested and used to make you guilty for not making more. Stop making people feel guilty for not making more. THIS IS THEIR ART. FFS it isn't FOR you. hello van gogh would you please fucking paint more flowers, I miss when you painted flowers. *van gogh, crawling out from under his bed where he's been dissociating for eight hours, already making a post* sorry I'm van gogh I'll make more paintings soon sorry for being alive LOL SORRY THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY I can't even talk about it coherently.
everyone just remember that if you're tempted to tell an artist to draw more or something like that, you are a guest on their blog and you might never have gotten to see ANY of their art if they had never posted in the first place. This is sharing, it isn't a fucking obligation. Artists don't owe their audience, they are doing their audience a favor by sharing their beautiful, funny, amazing creations. I am serious. No part of this is a joke
