While I enjoyed receiving feedback on my art, I’m just getting tired of people ignoring the link in the description, baselessly accusing me of using AI and not apologizing after I correct them. The latest accusation was on Tumblr and it was then that I just thought to myself “you know what, I’ve had enough of this”
I’ve kept receipts associated with my art on Internet Archive. I am also vehemently against using AI image generators, especially as someone who has had her art used without permission for usage in an AI output.
While I cherished the positive comments that I got, I don’t want to associate what is my hobby with any form of hostility, don’t want anxiety about people spreading misinformation about me as an artist so I’ve decided that from now on, I won’t be posting my art online. I’m still going to keep my old art up, I just won’t be posting any new art even though I’m still drawing.
as a fellow artist, fuck those guys. they don’t deserve to see your posts, so write “go fuck yourself” in a few more words and block em. they don’t give your art any consideration, so why should you give them any consideration back? if they can’t take a break from having their heads up their asses to view your receipts, then maybe they don’t deserve to view your posts in the first place.
please keep posting. i’ve been more liberal about my use of the block button recently and it’s been a real liberating experience.
