I think there's two types of polish when it comes to artistic design. The kind of polish that tries to express an idea/experience in more detail, and the kind of polish that sanitizes an idea so that it appeals to more people without offending them. There's kind of a funny conflict there.

This is how I handle most writing, though if I do think of something I'll go back to writing it.

A frustrating aspect of world-building/stories is incorporating aspects tantamount to any large, complex society (racial bias, colonization, class disparity, religious persecution, etc) is inherently a touchy subject to handle cause of the parallels to reality and people's own sensitivities.

You ever realize the topic of a conversation you’re trying to have with someone is outside their understanding/interest, give up, and start bullshitting

You really shouldn't fixate and idolize someone just cause they make Content that you like. You do not need to be a Good Person to make Good Content.

One time when I was a teenager I looked at the total playtime on my Final Fantasy Tactics Advance file, and thought "I wonder what I could have made with all that time" and I feels like that was when I started pivoting towards a lot of game dev.

Some people might respect technical ability, and may share platitudes of supporting people seeking ambitious creative endeavors...
But whether they Genuinely Like something comes down to personal, specific tastes. Even if you share the same taste, you might not express it in a way they care about.
