this isn't really a problem on tumblr & moreso on other platforms but i do wonder at what point the osc went from very obscure to being deemed "cringe..."
#as someone who has been here for 10 years it used to be this obscure & tightknit community of creators sharing what theyre passionate about#nobody knew what an Object Show was... and in offline spaces thats still true i suppose but#i had a lot of fun introducing object shows to people in 2016. people didnt automatically have some kind of preconceived notion about them#< i dont really let it get to me because the idea of calling something cringe is just so incredibly meanspirited and bad faith#and they arent the kinds of people youd want in the community anyways#the current popularity of the osc is earned. im glad theres more spotlight on passionate creators that have deserved it for a long time#however it also did bring with it bucketloads of negativity that make me miss how it used to be sometimes )':#Its ok. Both fans and creators are thriving despite it all. Our crops are watered. Its a net positive#Its just a little disappointing to see people who have never even seen what theyre talking about dismiss years of hard work like that#not art#< i dont normally ramble on here but i didnt really want to do it on twt either. scratching my head
