amazing that there are still people doing the "digital art isn't real art" schtick in 2025

It’s condescending and judgemental. This is at least the second time you’ve commented on my work like this and I see several similar comments you’ve made toward other artists on your profile. If you don’t like digital art that’s your prerogative, but denigrating it on other’s work is tacky.

Was there a reason to put it on my piece other than to make yourself feel better?

Shy @shycustis.bsky.social · May 30

What’s the point of commenting this on a fellow artist’s work?

Shy @shycustis.bsky.social · May 29

thanks so much 🤍
