it's because white people view racism as an interpersonal issue rather than a societal one, so asking them to look inward at how they perpetuate it is an attack on the self rather than an interrogation into their own views of people of color.
I have a genuine question for white folks
How come when white people talk about racism they’re seen as brave or enlightened and applauded, but when BIPOC speak about racism we’re maligned and considered belligerent or tiresome?
We all notice the double standard. What gives?

2.) "but youre nicer"
no im not. i am being patronizing. on purpose. thats not Nice. every bipoc on your tl is explaining everything like you are an adult of the same caliber as them. if you treat my white, patronistic coddling as "nice" and nonwhite people's respect as aggression, That Is A Racism

I've had crippling carpal tunnel syndrome for 20 years. I can't put pressure on my hands without severe pain. I mostly use ink and digital because any tool that requires me to push even a little (colored pencil, pastels, etc.) can put me out of commission for a week.
Yet I still draw.
Fuck genAI.

growing up all I heard was "hippies were dumb freeloaders on drugs!" then I became an adult and realized they were just protesting shit like the Vietnam war and it was purposeful reframing to make their concerns seem irrelevant. "peace and love" hits different in the context of napalm on children

I hope the ocean of rancid pornography/pointless brainrot that comes from this deal was worth spitting directly in the face of artists, animators, and craftsmen. You know, the people who actually built the mouses empire with human creativity and devotion to their craft.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Casual reminder that cartoons were invented by adults, for adults.
If you think that drawing and/or enjoying cartoon art as an adult is inappropriate, then you are a clown.

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.
