The vitriolic hatred artists on this site have for the word "content" is so funny. Do Not Get Me Wrong as an artist I prefer to use other terms when describing my work but also I literally cannot bring myself to care about if someone calls my art "content". Maybe I've just got bigger fish to fry but some of you get so worked up over it and I just stare in awe. Being an artist isn't some divine role and art isn't some otherworldly thing. Sometimes art is content and that doesn't mean it's meaningless garbage put out only to appease algorithms and capitalism.

#ramblings #hi mick i know you also made ur own post . not trying to copy u i just have thoughts i wanna ramble abt. bwah #anyways i guess for me my art -> my works vs. content to me more meaning like. posts like this or like. the toxoplasmosisreigen shitpost #or if i posted speedpaints or whatev to youtube thatd also be `my content` you feel me. but that doesnt mean that anything called `content`#is inherently lesser. you feel me? youtube video essays id also refer to as content but i have massive respect for them #serves a different utility in my vocabulary =/= calling my art content is a literal crime against humanity and you should be hung. yk #closing with sorry if this is worded weird at all im in class and would rather be doodling rn but im trying to work on-#-articulating thoughts when i have them and not bottling them up. :'D
