2 cents on the cupsnroses situation
okay i read the google doc and i think understand the situation now? um anyway i was reading everything cupsnroses did and honestly it is so embarrassing how someone who’s practically a legal adult is acting like a spoiled brat on the internet.
firstly, you are not entitled to people’s protection against your triggers. that is YOUR responsibility and YOUR issue to work out NOT on the internet. i understand that it’d be easier if people were to just not bring it up with you, but it is something you know is prevalent in the fandom, and you shouldn’t expect people to bend over backwards for you. also, it is SO ironic that you get upset about it, despite the fact that you flailed your arms around yelling at everyone to just block people and keywords. why don’t you take your own advice dawg?
secondly, the whole thing with their ocs. firstly, i don’t agree with the wording from the google doc about cupsnroses art and the “sexualisation” and “pornographic” nature of their art. they are 17, almost 18, and i believe it’s okay for them to post characters with “big boobs” or revealing clothing, especially because 80% of their art was not with intention of being suggestive. HOWEVER, i do agree that they should not have posted their actually suggestive artworks publicly until they were of age, to avoid legal problems. they also should have been more strict with their age restrictions on their suggestive account, because i was able to follow that account when i was 17. but i don’t think the wording was very good in the document to say that they couldn’t draw that kind of art Period. they can, because believe it or not, teenagers are sexual beings. they have sex, think of sex, etc. i would know because i Am a teen. so yeah, maybe reword that part because teens, especially 17 y/o’s, are allowed to draw that art—just not publicly.
next, my personal criticisms with their ocs. i want to preface this by saying cupsnroses has mentioned that they do not like it when people point out that they draw girls with big boobs and curvy hips, etc. they don’t like the sexualisation, i suppose. i think that’s fair to have that boundary, but it’s also kind of hard to take seriously when you clearly take pride in drawing your women like that. in fact, every single fem-oc you’ve ever drawn has the same exact body type. petite and curvy. i think the only oc i’ve ever seen that slightly changed that trend was smithy(?), because she was chubby—even she was still curvy with a large bust. your ocs are nearly copy and pastes, and all lack any sort of personality. even cuphead loses his entire personality whenever you draw him with his wife—YOUR OC.
anyway this might be mean but honestly you deserve a bit of real criticism. grow up, the world is not going to bend to your will, and reflect on what you have done. does this make you feel good? do you feel like a good person now? do you think this will benefit you in the future? i suppose not, now that you have most of your mutuals against you, right? and one more thing: maybe come up with original ideas before you throw a bitch fit that someone stole your concepts.
cupsnroses, if you see this, just know i’m ashamed of having been so trusting of you. i genuinely believed you were a cool person, if just a little childish and unoriginal. but now i really know who you are. a tall child with unrestricted internet access.
have the day you deserve.
