do you have any advice for overcoming or managing the contemporary anxiety that comes with making art about incest, csa, and cocsa? i feel like artists are living through an unprecedented epidemic of moral scrupulosity where younger people (who happen to be the most people using the internet and consuming indie art at all times) cannot distinguish fiction from reality or do not understand that depiction of sexual abuse is not an endorsement of said abuse. i think i especially admire what you're doing cuz after going through your blog it appears to me that you just launched this story about an incestuous family and instead of the art being all black-and-white angst or all mindless kink, you depict the abuse with a very leveled domesticity that is seldom portrayed by other artists (out of fear of backlash ig??? i know i would be pretty fed up with the snarky, holier-than-thou "why are we making meme redraws with an incestuous pedophile and his victim 😐" comments fast), which is ironically what makes it more realistic. i recognize it's not all fun and games cuz i've seen the dumbass stuff ppl try to say about you on twt, but i digress, i just wanna know how you do it or what's going through your head when you develop these characters as someone who has been trying to weave more complicated abuse stories into their own art but is so, soooo plagued by fear of rejection and "callouts". love your stuff already if it wasn't evident and i apologize if this was convoluted, i hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for answering!

Honestly, the best advice I can give is to stop giving a fuck 🤷‍♂️ Easier said than done when you're afraid of backlash, but a hard pill to swallow when you write stories involving sensitive topics is that not everyone will be satisfied with how you portray it, especially because experiences surrounding abuse is so broad and varied. It's not a one-size-fits-all typa thing, and that is okay! There's always gonna be somebody that dislikes your art, no matter how tactful you attempt being. When you focus too much on satisfying everybody— an impossible task—art doesn't become fun anymore and you instead limit yourself and your self-expression. So just go loose. Stop caring about what others think. Draw what your brain feels like drawing. It's good for your health. Art is meant for self-expression, not what others want you to draw.

I ain't gonna lie, I was a little nervous at first when I began posting about this family last year. But to my surprise, it connected with a lot of other survivors like me, and I'll never not be grateful for that. It wouldn't have happened if I limited myself to drawing what I thought would be easier for people to digest, because that's the thing about abuse. It's not supposed to be easy to digest. It's a horrific experience to go through, and I didn't want to sugarcoat anything. Who cares if it disturbs or angers someone? I'm drawing this for me and me only. People don't have the right to tell you what you can and can't draw, and obliging by online stranger's ridiculous standards only feeds into the idea that they can tell you what to do. So don't let them. Keep drawing. Just like there's always gonna be someone out there who dislikes your work, there will also be people out there that connect with your work. You just need to let it happen and not censor yourself

It's really unfortunate that there's more idiots policing how survivors cope or what artists post in general, because nobody should feel afraid to draw topics that are very much real. Like you think an artist drawing a pedophile character is bad? Try living with a real one lmao. It's not fun, I can say that.

But anyways, yeah. Just stop giving a FUCK and draw for YOURSELF. That's the moto I always go by

🚨🚨PLEASE SPREAD THIS TO BRING AWARENESS ABOUT THIS CHILD PREDATOR 🚨🚨

TALIA G. MYERS, a 27 year old in Illinois, GROOMED ME and ABUSED ME for 5 YEARS from when I was 14 to 19 years old. She coerced me into running away and moving into her house a 1000 miles away from my family, where I couldn’t reach for help and was further isolated and abused for 3 months. She is GROOMING ANOTHER TEEN online as I’m typing this, whom she is currently having romantic and sexual relations with right now. She met this child when this child was 12 YEARS OLD. She also has a history of physically, emotionally, and sexually abusing her ex-partner, which I was unfortunate enough to witness. She is a RAPIST and a PEDOPHILE.

Below is my google doc where I share my 5-year experience with Talia along with evidence of the abhorrent shit she’s done to her victims. THIS DISGUSTING SHIT HAS TO STOP NOW.

SHE IS PLANNING TO LURE HER NEW ONLINE VICTIM TO HER IN PERSON LIKE SHE DID WITH ME.

IF YOU LIVE IN THE CHICAGO AREA, AVOID THIS WOMAN AT ALL COSTS AND KEEP CHILDREN FAR AWAY FROM HER. SHE CAN’T KEEP DOING THIS ABHORRENT SHIT. I REFUSE TO BE SILENT ABOUT MY HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE ANYMORE.
