Haha, no dude, it's uuuuuuuh, totally normal to treat people's personal creations like a corporate franchise, nah nah, it's not even a little weird that the only way you interact with fandom is by mindlessly consuming content and reposting other people's work, I'm sure it's totally fine to just disregard the creator's wishes as long as you get to have your 2 minutes of fun with "your" new blorbos before your criminally short attention span moves onto the next thing for you to mindlessly consume, yeah, haha, I'm sure framing the creator's struggle to keep control of their work as a threat to your future ability to continue to consume content isn't totally self-centered or tone-deaf. No yeah man, haha, totally normal

#Can you tell that I'm extremely mad at the state of things?#I don't know who all is following Clown's struggles with W/elcome H/ome #but I'm extremely upset on his behalf because so many people are treating his passion project so mindlessly #And like fuck man he's struggling with this new found popularity and so many people just rushed to see his work as a product to swallow up #And it's mind-numbingly horrible to me that so many people can't see Clown as a person #This isn't anything new there have always been these mindless content consumers in internet spaces #but damn it's so bad now because content consumption has just become so easy and people don't really interact with art like they used to #Like it's so disappointing for me to see how thoughtlessly people have disregarded Clown's rules about his work #Like fuck have y'all see how fast people made public merchandise of his work??? It makes me sick to my stomach #I was already following Clown's work before Welcome Home blew up and I really feel for him right now #Sorry for the whole post written in the tags lol
