fuck your “lol cringe XD” mindset
ok i just wanted to add onto this post and say, when i was about 8 i drew with my mouse and i made edgy warriors ocs, i drew “gore” which was just a cat bleeding from its eyes, i put unrealistic colors on cats blah blah.
people started finding my art and reposting it, to bad art blogs and forums. one of my friends said “i have bad news about your art” and linked me to a bad warriors art blog that had posted my drawing of scourge and i could see all the notes of people making fun of it.
i tried to brush it off, i asked for it to be removed, but it kept happening, and people started leaving comments on my deviations. they started adding my art to bad art folders on da. i was being harassed as a very young child.
at this point i had been drawing every single day, i spent hours drawing my bad warriors art. it was the thing i loved the most at the time. and now? i still draw everyday, but it’s so, so hard for me to post or share it, and i went through a long period of time refusing to draw because i remembered all the things people said about my art.
it didn’t help me. it made me wanna improve my art sure, but on the level that now everything i draw looks bad to me, every idea i have seems cringy to me. i’m terrified of people seeing my work because i am scared everyone will make fun of it again.
making fun of kids does have real consequences. not for you, of course, you get to laugh. but the kid doesn’t.
