I think this attitude in fandom comes from the idea that you have to be talented to be an artist but anyone can write...even though the piles and piles of terrible fanfic out there prove that it's not so easy to write well of in-character. But still the idea persists, that fandom artists should be praised and coddled because fanart is hard to do well and fanfic is easy (even though most of the people who probably hold this idea couldn't write a long plotty in-character multipart fic any more than they could draw an amazing piece of art).

da

tbh I see plenty of terrible writers who're coddled and told their work is amazing when it sucks balls too, which doesn't help matters. It perpetuates the idea that people will take any old dreck when it comes to fanfic but they're somehow more discerning when it comes to art.

The number of genuinely terrible fics that are hugely popular in some of my fandoms is proof of this much.

But people really aren't anymore discerning when it comes to art, that's the weird thing.

AYRT

I won't be surprised if that's the main reason.

Yeah, there's definitely a lot of that attitude around, though it's sometimes unconscious.
