>I can think of many other niche fetish communities that either suffered as much or worse than us - vore, diaper, farting, pregananant are the first that come to mind.
i see where you're coming from, and i understand we being nieche means that we'll have a harder time getting good artists, and i feel you make a paradoxical statement when it comes to it being both "a nieche fetish comunity" and a "mainstream problem", i could be entirely wrong, but the way that i see it, i feel like it's easier for big comunities to attract better content creators, whereas us, it's more difficult, and i feel we should trasure those people and treat them with respect without turning it into a hugbox or something like that.
>Also not entirely true.
well, again, i feel you're seeing it from the side of just the successful people, but as someone who's always been relatively obscure, i've met artists who just flat out gave up on drawing because they were being harassed and called cringe, and sure, you eventually have to grow the spine to take criticism without lashing out, but there is a difference between giving constructive criticism and telling someone to get better without giving them an answer as to how to achieve it.
>Tbh this point you tried to make sounds more like projection.
refere to everything from this post, TLDR, i just wish the comunity was willing to help new talent, nobody starts out perfect, but i know that you can help someone sand off the rough edges and have something that, although not of the highest standar, can be pretty good and something that everyone can enjoy.
