I can't get over that his middle name is Fahrenheit

Porn hurt you, and that sucks. But it doesn't change that you hold a very skewed and incorrect opinion on an artistic medium. Im also ace, and with that, I'm often sex repulsed. Art doesn't magically become harmful just because it's porn. It's like blaming a rock band for damaging your hearing.

Porn was harmful to you, and that sucks. That doesn't change the fact that you hold a very skewed and incorrect opinion over an artistic medium. I'm also ace, I'm also sex repulsed, art doesn't magically become harmful just because it's porn. It's like blaming a rock band for damaging your hearing.

Holding a puritanical belief against the medium of pornography is detrimental to the progress of art. It is unlikely that there is a single piece of media that you have consumed where an artist working on it has not also drawn pornography. Keep calling it "trash" but it is still art.

Nothing in my statement was a demand. And I'm not going to argue my point with someone who can't use a thread. Kindly understand that your statement is harmful to art and artists regardless of your supposed respect. You can curate the algorithm, bluesky specifically allows for that.

No, it's just how bluesky works, it's a designed process to prevent followers of either party from harassing the other, by preventing either side from directly interacting with the post.

You're young, you have a lot of room to grow and progress, it's even more important you start off slowly. Build up a portfolio. Just focus on improving your skills before you build an audience. That way the audience you do build you know wants what you make.

Calling art "trash" or "crap" even if you don't like it is such a vitriolic take, especially compounded with the fact that people are coming over here out of desperation to avoid a ToS change that harms their careers, not just for fun.

And your niche doesn't exist because you need to build a community. Again, you have to seek out other similarly skilled artist and collaborate. Take part in art/contnet challenges. It's never going to be easy.

My point wasn't about your exact words. My point was that big accounts see that hundreds of times and it is most often used by engagement farm bot accounts. If you want to make friends, comment on their art, don't ask about their day.
