You can't have too many ocs or your an art farmer you can't have too little ocs or people will be less inclined to attack you.

Your oc bios can't be too long or too short or people will get annoyed.

You can't make just simple headshots, or people will call you an art farmer. You can't make only complex art, or you won't be able to attack everyone back and will be called ungrateful.

You can't have too much art drawn by others on your account or your an art farmer so you have to risk burning yourself out.

Your refs can't be too complex or too simple and can't have any information, but you also can't have too much information.

Your permissions can't be too detailed or too short because people will either not read them or be too anxious to attack you.

You can't follow people or you'll be accused of only following for art.

You also can't make too many attacks or you'll be called an art farmer.

Am I missing anything?

Moral of the story: who cares do whatever you want because you'll never make everyone happy no matter what you do /shrug

You ever just go absolutely wild while drawing in MSPaint?

the divide between takes on here is so funny lowkey. half of them are legitimate complaints about AF and its culture and the other half is "i'm online 27 hours a day and i'm about to make it everyone else's problem"

if you say gender dysphoria is the reason you don't have women ocs you are insane, need to get a hold of yourself and admit you're a misogynist

I'm new to Artfight. I haven't done any attacks, joined any teams, or nothing. But a few months ago, I got a DM on Art Fight telling me my art was super pretty and asking me to join a discord server.

I thought I was on the grounds to make some friends, instead, I have been giving the front seat to watch "Horseshoe theory" in action.

I got DMed and invited to a friend group that advised itself as being progressive, which I thought was super cool. I like being progressive.

But they weren't actually progressive. As per horseshoe theory, they tried so hard to be progressive that they just ended up looping back around to being really bigoted.

In a bulletin list of everything that happened in the small group:

- I have been accused of being racist because a majority of my OCs are black while I am a white. Apparently this was problematic because I was 'simulating' slavery.

- A girl who was new to the group was accused of being racist because she didn't have any black OCs. All of her OCs were furries.

- I got called racist AGAIN because one of my OCs, who is black, had a huge crush on another, who was white.

- I got called creepy because I said someone's OC was pretty. Just that. I said, "Your OC is really pretty" and that got me a stern talking to about not flirting with people's OCs randomly.

- I got called homophobic because one of my characters 'looks gay' but I had him labeled as pansexual.

- Got called misogynistic because I drew my female OC in a provocative pose. Please note, I not only drew my male characters like this, but I published the drawings on my toy house that I didn't know they had access to.

- Got called a fujoshi because I drew my male characters in provocative poses. Please note, I am a trans man.

- Got called a weirdo gooner because I drew my characters in provocative poses.

- Got told my character was 'minor-coded' because she had braces and dressed in pink.

- Got called racist, again, because I had a black male character who adopted a white kid. I was told, I kid you not, that if I understood anything about black people, then I'd have made the father a black mother since black fathers are never present. Holy fuck.

I left because I was tired of being accused of being a bigot over the smallest things and then watching as they strawmaned themselves into being actually racist or bigoted in an attempt to sound inclusive.

I'll be honest, I only stayed because I was so lonely that I was just happy to have some sort of community.

But I'm wiser now. I'm more tired. There were people acting bigoted under the guide of acting progressive, and that makes me kind of sad.

I'm sorry for such a long post. I don't want this post to come across as "Anti-Woke" or "Anti-progessive". I just hate how I ended up in a circle where people were acting this way. It sucks. It's sad.

I just wanted to draw people's OCs.

Fun/nice confession! Last AF my non-(visual) artist friend who knew I was doing AF asked to place a ‘hit’ on their other friend who really wanted a pair of their characters to get drawn. So I drew them and got to see insider screenshots of them freaking out abt it 💖💖💖 They don’t know to this day I was a hired assassin….

Man sometimes I forget how amazing artfight is, and then I look through all the art I’ve received over the years and im like “damn. That is a whole lotta time and effort that went into drawing for me. FOR FREE.” Like some of that shit is literal $100+ commission level stuff and you’re giving that away?? To a stranger?? Thank you?? 😭 messy or not this is such a cool event guys. It’s about joy and charity and fighting people ❤️
