Hey just a reminder:
Fly and I are real human beings
I really want to add a post about this because this is something I can personally speak on as well.
Indie creators are not your friends.
We create content out of love and passion, and it is super gracious and generous that we share it out into the world. Fly and Nort are extremely generous to share motm with the world. They could have just kept it as a small idea within the confines of their own home, but they decided to share it and create a community for all of us. They interact with the community and give us funny side drawings and answer our questions and do so much despite their own busy lives.
That is a PRIVILEGE. Not a right.
They can absolutely take that away at any time, that is within their rights. They are REAL people with REAL friends and a REAL family. They are the same as you and I.
We all bleed red, and we all have emotions. I've had creators who are my friends tell me these horrific experiences from the general public, some have even left certain spaces because of how bad it has gotten, and I have had to leave or take space away from places because of parasocial incidents myself.
I reiterate. Indie creators are not your friends. We are not your friends. We are here to create and do our passion. We are pursuing our careers like any other people; just like doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. Just because we have eyes on our career does not give you guys the right to treat us like we ourselves are the entertainment.
Entertainers ≠ Entertainment
Fly and Nort are NOT your friends, guys. They are these talented and incredible creators who take time out of their busy lives to give you this incredible story they are creating together. Please respect that. Do not blur the lines here.
