#i don't think I used that tag correctly Syd

funny how you had no problems when anons were going to syd to call her cheap and say they were shitting on content makers but when someone else says that gifs can be overpriced now you agree with it? just shows how little your words means.

anon, are you okay?? because this obsession you have with me and this nonexistent rivalry or mutual hate relationship with rptsyd is really getting so old.

i'm assuming you read mcthsman's response to that ask about gif packs being paid for?? they brought up a lot of great points i never considered, especially about underused fcoc and how USD prices might translate as higher in other currencies. they did a great job explaining their viewpoint on this matter and i agree with what they're saying. if the rpc has a desire to bring more diversity into writing, i do believe that those resources should be accessible to the public without a paywall, especially when they're not popular fcs that pretty much almost every gif maker has made packs of.

that said, i don't mind gif makers charging for their efforts in creating and editing resources for like private commissions. or i saw another blog mention donation links or patreon as more accessible ways for those who can't spare $20+ for gifs we can't make ourselves and want to use. and i personally don't mind paying creators for their time and effort on what i think is a fair price. not everyone in the rpc is rich. i work two jobs myself to make ends meet and have a little extra spending money i can save for donations and things like that so i have no complaints on my end.

syd did talk about some packs being overpriced (15$ for 250 gifs if i remember correctly) and also mentioned how they've paid or donated more than that. they also admitted themselves that if the rpc thought that was a fair price then they didn't mind it being a "broke me" thing. one of my tag responses to an ask about that basically shared a similar sentiment in that i understood not everyone can pay that much for gifs when we all have real life responsibilities like rent/mortgages, groceries, utilities, medical bills, vet bills, etc.

there was nothing mentioned from syd then like what mcthsman is saying now about underused faces of color blocked from the majority of the rpc behind a paywall, which is a pretty significant issue i didn't realize was happening until i saw it in their post and it is something i feel should be talked about.

this isn't the first anon i've received on a subject that snaps at me about what i've said or not said or what syd's said. not everything i talk about or answer has to do with syd unless she's explicitly mentioned and whatever you think my feelings are towards them. i have them blocked because i didn't like their content and i didn't agree with them continuing to be so hateful towards strangers on the internet who felt they had to make a public apology on this site like they're a celebrity on twitter. the fact that you're using this pretty significant topic of discussion as a means to stir some pot for... i don't even know your objective here. probably so syd has more to talk about on their blog idk. it's sad and embarrassing. it clearly shows you don't care about this issue at all and you're trying to make this personal for your own drama of the week.

you can keep sending me anons about syd cause i won't be answering them any more. and the ones i do continue receiving i will block your ip address to prevent any more coming into my inbox.

hope you understand!! 💓
