I will never understand the point of bolding every third word in a sentence, it hurts my brain so bad

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

Yeahhh... artists often end up in these creative circles and especially when you're young it can easily restrict your expression to a fucked up degree. Very familiar stuff

Huh I thought Homestuck was one of those "impossible to adapt" dealies but the pilot works surprisingly well! Ngl the original is SO long I don't mind at all watching a more streamlined version

"But that one is clearly romanticizing/fetishizing abuuuuse" Yes, and? Sometimes people love their abusive ex. It happens. Shit can be complicated. We need that complicated art too. Even if it's dumb and poorly made. It'll still be more valuable than anything fucking midjourney can ever make

The particular irony people tend to miss is that the majority of artists making art about violence and abuse are former VICTIMS of said abuse, not the perpetrators. Art is a fundamental tool for humans to process and understand their lived reality. Yes it can be ugly. Because life is ugly

So disappointing to come across grown ass adults (even artists!) sincerely believing that some types of fiction/art are "too upsetting" to be allowed to exist. Please please please you can't afford to be this short sighted. Do 10 minutes of research about nazis and degenerate art or something

This platforms moderation is currently unable to tell the difference between artistic/non-sexual nudity and explicit pornography How do you expect them to be able to differentiate between consensual and non-consensual?
