Re: How do you feel about fanartists?
(Anonymous) 2016-01-24 05:24 am (UTC)(link)The mob mentality that's so prevalent these days was a huge reason why I've largely begun to disconnect from fandom as a whole: ceasing to do fan art as frequently as I used to is just the first step. I've been around long enough to know things are cyclical and what's old eventually becomes new again, but seeing artists get run out of the fandom town (or worse, having their livelihoods destroyed or threatened) is where I draw the line, especially if they're not doing certain things to intentionally piss people off.
(disclaimer, I also realize there's often more complex issues at work in some cases, but my points still stand)
And, thanks. It's been a huge risk so far making the switch from doing mostly fan art to mostly original works, but it's been really helpful for my anxiety so far. And it's kind of liberating letting my art be judged on its own merits rather than trying to please a fandom or trying to be noticed by fandom. My only regret is that I wish I'd made this choice sooner!
