Welp, I made it.

Follow @yellowpede-06 for Transformers ideas/art, but I’m probably gonna do (most) reblogs on this main blog.

I see that it's once again "Tumblr gets overly-vigilant about tagging posts as Mature" season.

Being able to draw older people as attractive without reducing or erasing the visual signs of aging, and in fact showing that they're attractive because of those signs, is an artistic skill that should be valued so much more. Honestly, it should earn you an immediate fortune because holy fuck is it a rare commodity. There are so many artists who seem to think attractiveness and aging exist in opposition to each other, so they smooth every wrinkle, erase every crease, and de-age the character until they're basically thirty with silver hair. But when an artist can look at crow's feet, smile lines, weathered skin, deep-set wrinkles, and all the little traces of a life well lived and say, "No, that's what makes them beautiful," that's a level of artistic observation and care I wish we celebrated more often.

the thing is that some of the most brazen and clear-cut cases of art theft—cases in which an artwork is actually, concretely taken from the creator—are not only not stopped by copyright law, but actively enabled by it (think tupac, disco elysium, record labels who own a cover of a song copyright striking works with the original, etc.)

The thing I’ve found is that, when you drill down into exactly what most people find unfair about these kinds of situations, it’s still about treating ideas as exclusive property; they just have different ideas about how it should work, which tend to line up with how they feel about other types of property. And that’s not remotely a settled question, politically, so it doesn’t help clear up the situation at all, or suggest solutions that a majority could agree on.

Like, the DE creators can still make DE stuff, they just can’t make money off of it—like any fanwork. So what was taken from them? Well, the right to make money off of their creative contributions, which they effectively sold to the company when they signed on to work as creatives.

It feels unfair that anyone can work on a creative enterprise like that for years, shape it in meaningful ways, and then have no rights to it as soon as they leave the company (willingly or no)—but is that categorically different than any other kind of hired labor? The construction workers don’t get to live in the homes they build. Many of the workers producing cocoa beans have never tasted chocolate.

This all isn’t to say that it’s wrong to point out the unfairness. Just worth considering which criticisms are actually about IP and which are about property and labor generally.

On one hand: this imagery touches on themes of freedom vs oppression and how in shedding the various layers of shame placed upon us by the regime we can transcend to a higher place above the forces that seek to hold us to unjust societal standards.

On the other hand: cheeks out at the Krispy Kreme.

There’s a liquor store near my house that seems to be run exclusively by frat boys. They lovingly curate these bags, which I browsed today while “Oops I Did It Again” played through the store speakers. This is art to me, there is beauty everywhere for those with eyes to see it
