Pseudo-artists have devalued the concept of art and deprived it of its sacredness so much that now the word "artist" makes people grimace with hostility. Any post where a person declares that he draws is met not with admiration or interest, but with skepticism and ridicule. Because drawing is now firmly associated not with creativity, but with commerce. This is how "artists" are "warmly welcomed" on the Russian analogue of Reddit:

And this despite the fact that she did not openly advertise her commercial orientation. Those who directly postulate their mercantilism are cruelly bullied by the people:

Earlier, when you revealed a new character to someone, you were thanked. Now they react as if you came not with a cute loli, but dragged a dead rat. It was impossible to imagine in the old days that you, telling about a character, would be looked at with hostility.
Another red marker of a pseudo-artist. "I don't know this character" in response to your story. Not "He/she didn't catch my attention, didn't seem interesting", but "I don't know". Which clearly reads as "Why did you bring me a loli/shota, I'm not uninterested in this! Bring me money!"
How do people even get to know characters? You accidentally saw a picture and liked the unfamiliar character depicted in it and you start searching for information about him. Because we all love with our eyes first and foremost, and only then begin to learn about the biography. A true sholicon would evaluate a character from the point of view of visual triggers and only then would he say whether it made his heart beat faster or did not shake him at all, not finding in him a desire to get to know him. The Huckster does not evaluate in any way, he does not linger on the picture for more than a second, because the only thing he is interested in is money, and therefore he lies so artlessly and monosyllabically, completely giving away his essence.
On 4chan, I often see posts like "Why are artists so stupid and draw the same thing and follow not ideas and discoveries, but trends and hype!" And indeed, you are amazed at how limited pseudo-artists are in their mass, how narrow their cultural baggage is. Let's take, for example, a character like Marisa Kirisame. What do they draw with her? How she flies on a broom, drinks tea with Reimu, or just stands or sits. And there are tens of thousands of such similar drawings. They don’t even try to create something special, their brains are frozen like jelly, they copy the same pattern, without trying to show even a little originality. When you write to them, they get angry not only because you can’t pay them, but also because your creativity and imagination are like a blow to their pride, sharply reminding them how bad they are with ideas. Why do you think there is such a position as an art director? Because most (pseudo)artists can only draw, but not invent and think through. And the job of an art director is to give them ideas and direct them.

Also, if anyone hasn’t seen it, this cunt, among other things, also lied that she needed money to treat sick animals. As if I don't remember her previous accounts (@sameppp, now banned), where she posted photos of her rich life. She is one of those morbidly greedy people, like this Polish millionaire and his wife, who stole a cap with an autograph from a boy at the US Open:

In conclusion, a fresh screenshot from a furry artist channel, where they admit that they have long lost the ability to feel, and now their only incentive is money.
The audience is also largely to blame for the fact that artists have become impudent. They have been overfed with adoration and honor, out of naivety, of course, from the belief in the community of thoughts. It is not for nothing that biblical wisdom says "Do not make yourself an idol!" People have forgotten that a creator without an audience is nothing and no one. That without those who can appreciate his work, his work loses its meaning. People were embarrassed to remind them that without them he is simply no one. Now is the time to destroy the ivory towers and force the arrogant little gods to come down to earth. Either they will remember where, where and with whom they started, or artificial intelligence will crush them along with censorship.
