sorry for rage posting this early in the morning but I saw a post so you know how it goes lol
basically it was a post coming after milo rossi (minimimuteman) because he claims not to sell out to sponsors and claims all his merch was made by real humans and not ai. most of his merch is designs being sold on a t shirts and hoodies. and then OP go off about how they're no information on the supplier (someone asked and it's fourthwall) and how it's frustrating that artists use POD services that are often sweatshops.
yes this is an issue for all artists tho?? like sorry buddy but those artists that have enamel pins and acrylic stands and plushies?? yeah... also from suppliers. can we cancel every WeToons artist who got plushies made???? like I know there's no ethical consumption under capitalism but like I feel like op person has no idea what it's like to be a print artist. people were like "ohh but he got those silver jewelry why doesn't he do more stuff like that with a small artist!!" ok go suggest artists then? but they can't use anything that has any ties to slave labour, they must make all of their products themselves, all their supplies but be ethically sourced, right??
bro is just trying to take a step in the right direction in the height of ai slop merch like cmon. like sorry but this is the fact of being an artist. Also he's not selling our for using a supplier? If he went to the craft store got some sharpies and a white t shirt and sold that guess what it's also unethical because every product is from slave labour. and before anyone shits on me I'm not condoning slave labour I'm just like... nothing truly is every good enough huh.
