cough cough im alive

man this tumblr is dusty. I heard this place was better now? idk. I'll post some art in the morning.

There’s been a bit of talk concerning Paizo’s wages towards artists. As an artist: I will say they are low, although the people who reported on them have shared very old wages and current wages may differ.

I am however choosing to share the words of the workers at Paizo themselves about what is their current situation, and how to actually help them in case you are concerned. It’s important to note Paizo is not even 1% the size of Wizards of The Coast, which was the first brand to reach 1$ billion for Hasbro.

Paizo’s yearly revenue is 12 Million, for reference. 12 million is about what CR managed to collect in a single Kickstarter for their animated series. It’s not that much when you take into mind they currently have 125~ employees (vs WOTC’s 1000 employees).

Again: As an artist, the wages they are currently playing are low. But they have an union (being still the first union in the TTRPG sphere), and they have been using it to fight for better conditions. Employees themselves are publicly asking for people to stand back and let them negotiate it themselves. They are confident these negotiations are headed in a good direction. I will hold Paizo accountable if, given an increase in their revenue, they do not raise their wages, but I’d rather believe what people currently working for them ask for.

(Also, please do not harass Paizo’s employees about this. Do not harass individual employees over ANY of this, no matter the company.)

And of course, it’s important to ask why and who is currently trying to defend WOTC, and what is WOTC currently doing to their employees. Here’s what DnD Shorts managed to get from the employees themselves at WOTC:

So sick and tired of every time I mention that I enjoyed a movie or a game someone sends me passive aggressive accusitory DMs telling me why I can't like or talk about it because its "problematic" or whatever. Then make callouts branding me as abelist or racist or whatever if I don't apologize.

And im talking EVERYTHING. Avatar, Dead by Daylight, The Isle, random youtubers, spec evo artists, books, shows... literally anything I mention liking. God forbid I make fanart of anything.

I'm not trying to make it all about me. "YoUr noT lisTeNing!!!!" I am aware of problems in media. If I boycott everything that has the slightest problem I would be left with nothing.

At this rate I should just stop sharing art and posts all together. Not worth being harassed every time I make a new post. Complete silence has been the only answer so far.

why are people suddenly following me

who are you people how did you find me
