dont trace reference images. dont even LOOK at reference images. in fact, don't ever look at anything that exists in the world, in person or in photos or in videos, even when you're not drawing, because you will still be able to use the memories of what something looks like as a reference when you're drawing it later. yes that includes yourself. destroy all the mirrors in your house. don't look down at your hands or feet. don't look. close your eyes. close them tight. forget everything. it's okay, embrace the darkness. just forget.

Reactionary sub: I'm literally biologically designed for you to use and abuse me. It's just my body doing what is natural.

Dialectical materialist sub: Historical trends in productive forces have produced a moment within the superstructure wherein I derive sexual satisfaction from roleplaying taboo subject matter.

Liberal sub: nobody knows why I get a funny feeling in my tummy when they call me their kid

Look I get that nobody LIKES encountering kids on social media and that it DOES in fact fuck you up to use the internet a bunch as a kid but like. I don't know what to tell you it's 2026 and TONS of kids live horrid little isolated lives in the suburbs with their fucking insane parents. Either conservatives, or anti-vaxxers or hellfire religious types or even just pieces of shit. When people post about how kids shouldn't be online or their parents should limit their internet use I just hear them going "PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ISOLATE YOURSELF AND RESIGN YOURSELF TO THE WHIMS OF THE NUCLEAR FAMILY. YOUR PARENTS WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST INTEREST IN MIND EVEN IF THEY MOLEST YOU AND STUFF DONT GO ONLINE AND FIND OUT HOW TO LEAVE YOUR PARENTS HOUSE ALWAYS BELIEVE EVERYTHING THEY SAY NOTHING CAN GO WRONG IF THIS HAPPENS"

"As a child I was on social media too young and it put me in the panopticon and ruined my brain"

okay well as someone who grew up right around the boom of social media the first half of my childhood comprised of long lonely days being forced to do whatever my parents told me and feeling like an insane caged animal every single day of my life and then I got online, got groomed, and it was still an improvement over being alone with my family.

Honestly I really do think there is a trend of people only noticing traumatic situations when they line up with what society says should upset them. No yeah it's fine that every child in the nation spends 8 hours a day in what is essentially an educational detention facility. that's not fucked up, whats fucked up is they go online and see boobs. I knew someone who grew up in a cult and it sucked and consequently after escaping became very wary of any sort of insular social behavior because it reminded them of the abuse they grew up in but then you talk to people in broader society who grew up non-religious or went to public school and they still get molested and abused all the time anyways. And you kind of have to start wondering maybe its because we treat children like something you own? When I was in tenth grade I was online and used to get money by selling nudes to this old guy and obviously that really really fucked me up but I don't think the solution to that would have been "yeah you should spend all day in the educorrectional facility and not be able to talk to anyone except your parents who replaced your bedroom door with a curtain" maybe it would have been like. ubi for kids or some shit. because then when an old guy hits you up for nudes when you are 15 you straight up do not need his money. But oh well no children just simply need adults to protect and take care of them and that should be in the form of 24/7 surveillance.
