I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!

listen i love ao3 as much as the next guy but ive seen people quit fic writing over the past few years because people comment and engage with authors way less, and then everyone still freaks out when ao3 goes down- if a fic is irreplaceable to u, let the author know!

ive been in tears over this since i woke up

i need to be better at balance. currently i usually draw a lot, then dont draw for days because i need to catch up on other work. then i draw a lot to catch up on art deadlines and stuff. and the cycle continues

hey, uh, y'all *do* know that chatgpt *is* generative ai, too, right? it's not just art. gen-ai is not just stealing & scraping the internet for art, it is *also* stealing & scraping the internet for all types of written word. you cannot be anti gen-ai and still use chatgpt. all gen-ai is harmful.

Thinking about Kiragi and Kana having almost identical under armor. Got me thinking that they share the same tailor (<— she really means that she likes turtle neck tops)

Predictably there are a small number of people already going "whuuuh I'm not fascist just bc I hate some taboo art!" Exactly what I said, read it again. Are you reporting artists? Are you making callout posts? Hating a type of art does not make you fascist, but suppressing its right to exist does

i love seeing people post WIPs but i never do it myself. partially because most of my art i actually can't show the WIP since i rarely just draw. for myself. hoping to do so a little this year at least, since i decided to not sign up for projects/exchanges (with a few exceptions)

Don’t say “It means nothing bc AI bros never read notes, and bots are scraping everything”. What we do here is a declaration, a definite rejection of gAI and art theft. Due to the shitty revision of Japanese copyright law, we have to add these notes clearly, or art can be stolen “legally”.
