Hey guys. So as some of you may know, people have had A LOT of things to say about my newest art.
I understand that the world has a history of going out of their way to offend anon people on the internet with art. And that white washing is a serious problem that is happening in the world.
But, as I’ve received help from my glorious buds, how the fuck is that related to the art I posted?
If I drew Simon and Blue. Like the ACTUAL Simon and Blue. And made Blue white. That would be a huge problem. And I would understand if people were bashing me and calling me a moron.
But. It’s. A. FUCKING AU.
When people write AU’s about their ship being deaf, is that white washing deaf people? Is it them claiming that every deaf person is white? No. If someone is into that omegaverse stuff. Is it them claiming that they are oppressing actual wolves by drawing them? No. This is no different. I simply used a concept that I found adorable and SUPPORTED.
Yeah if you read the caption on the art you would see that I saw the film and have major respect for it. I am actually gay/bi myself and I related to so many things Simon went through. I didn’t decide to make the fanart as a fuck you to the fandom and shitting on a beautiful interracial couple. I drew the art because I loved the story and and message it held. If people wanted to, they could draw a Love, [insert girls name] AU. Would you go after those people and call them extreme feminists who are getting rid of the gender of men? No. Exactly.
I do not take things lightly. It may seem like I am childish, but I refuse to let anyone bash me for no explicable reason. As soon as you doubt my intelligence or interests, I am fighting you. If you don’t like me, the unfollow button is right there! I’m sure my other 13k followers will keep me company in your absence! I do not make art on here because I am looking for artistic critiques and questioning my ability to get into an art school. If any of you didn’t know, I am 19 years old and almost done with my first year of nursing school. I do art as a hobby and as a de-stressing tool. I just post it for fun and because oh I don’t know this is my fucking blog. So yeah if you don’t like it goodbye!
With all of this being said, I can not believe all of the help I have received with the backlash and the encouragement for me to continue to AU. All of you are incredible thank you so much. A special thank you to:
