saw one of my con friends post a cease and desist in 3 languages on twitter because someone colored and reposted one of their artworks and all I could think was petit bourgeois behavior... I fear I need to get a real job I can't stay like this anymore. this + the reaction to the gh*bl* trend I think is really bringing out the worst of the online freelance artists...

#just thinking thoughts...#I don't know... it's all so surreal to me #I was drawn to posting things online because it meant people could see it for free #like online manga scanlations are all free you know? I think in a perfect universe everything should be like that #it's just so weird that people are now going NOBODY CAN PLAY WITH MY TOYS anymore about it #like brother was the point not everyone being able to play with your toys?#there is just such an intense lack of historical context among online freelancers it's so frustrating #like you all would have been haters when photography and collage and dadaism came around.#and you would have been on the wrong side of it. AI is literally just another iteration of this.#there is no 'spark of the artistic spirit' you stupid slut! ! ! !#PLUS THE GH*BL* THING IS DRIVING ME CRAZYYYYYY #I'm seeing posts like 'm*y*z*k* is trying to say that art is about HUMANITY!!!'#brother. he could not acknowledge the humanity of the victims of japanese imperial violence what are you talking abttttttttttt #be objective. don't let the fact you like something cloud your judgement abt it.#like I like bm for sure but as I'm learning more about things I'm growing more convinced that the work is trotskyist in nature #and I'm not sure I agree w trotskyism. but you gotta be able to look and see what's actually there #and it just really feels like people are willfully being ignorant abt myzki.
