UNPOPULAR OPINION: A lot of "mental health issues" disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.
like yeah i have encountered people online who think their ocs who exist in a contextless bubble deserve the same reverence as fully realized characters, and that mentality is annoying, but i don't actually think the end goal of all art is to became a webcomic, i think it's a perfectly fine if people want to flex their creative muscle by creating funky character designs with wacky backstories just for the joy of creation itself, like you don't have to be personally invested in it, but it's a bizarre way to moralize art especially coming from a group of people who otherwise seem to be against that?
People posting their ocs are not automatically making them for an audience. Most of us are playing toys.
People independently making art and content that they DO intend to monetize are usually doing so while working full time, disabled, or otherwise uncompensated and unscheduled. Stop treating independent creators online like they're fucking media conglomerates.
It takes me three hours of raw time to finish an average illustration (average, not intensely meaningful or symbolic or highly rendered--those take 10-12). But if you include time that I have to set aside in my schedule, making sure I'm well enough to focus, medicated (people can't always take medication for work and again in the evening! excluding work days from creation days!), it can take weeks for me to make anything.
Not everything exists for your consumption, and no-one is automatically going to be able to amazon overnight you a finished novel just because you want something to consume. Go to a library. There are books there that people spent years of their life making, just to share with you. That is the completed content you crave. Leave guy online who wants to make a cool dog concept alone.
“People should pass a test before being allowed to have kids.” “Isn’t it scary how white people have this inborn capacity for evil?” “I’ll never pass because males and females have different skull shapes.” “Autistic people have a stronger sense of justice than anyone else.” “I don’t want AMABs in my space because they’re dangerous.” “You shouldn’t have access to hormones if you dress like THAT.” “Anyone who does something that awful isn’t human.” “Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”
This is eugenics. This is phrenology. THIS IS NAZI SHIT, YOU ARE A LEFTIST BUYING INTO NAZI SHIT. YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO NAZI SHIT.
"wire play is so weird it's basically like ripping out organs" yes and if i couldn't feel pain or die of blood loss/infection i would also moan if someone played with my organs. next question
you need to be gentle, not rough, with wires, in order for it to feel good... yank them hard anyway. like spanking one's genitals, make the pleasurable sensitivity so intense that it stops feeling good anymore. you get to hear them scream in pain either way, but it involves more glitching and fear for one's life if it's regarding wires on the contrary
still obsessed with the idea of doing maintenance on a robot for nonsexual reasons and they learn the hard way that it feels like realllly good and they have to spend the whole time trembling and whimpering trying not to cum while you mistakenly assume its from pain and thus gently coo at them telling them its ok, i know it hurts but itll be over soon, youre doing so so well, youre being so well behaved for me
