wow
that ponyshop is just straight up Kick the Dog material
moved to Oceanstuck because this handle was starting to bother me my tumblrTHEY NEED TO RELEASE A PROPER ALBUM!
AND IMAGE SONGS. LOTS OF THEM.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.For the record, the "bullying over art" thing is in response to art that alienates the demographics that certain characters are meant to represent. Like... drawing a skinny Rose generally means you don't see any worth in her being a fat charcter. Drawing a Humanized Garnet and making her anything other than Black requires either a staggering amount of ignorance, or else implies that you consider Garnet's "Blackness" an inherently negative trait.
If you can't draw someone in a way that fits what they look like but want to draw them, then provide a disclaimer that you are aware your way of drawing them doesn't fit what they look like. Lampshade your own weaknesses before you're called out for them by someone else

If I remember correctly, the skinny Rose artist was also known for being racist and sexist, so while it did suck that she was bullied per say, she is still not in the right technically.
Eh, it's best to say that the human race has various people of different tastes and personalities, and while there is definite rights and wrongs, everything is so blended together that it really isn't a black and white situation. We can't just blanket everyone as bad just because some people did some nasty or mean things, but we also can't cover up the fact that such terrible things are being done at all.
It's best to just say that we are humans, we are different, and we'll try to better ourselves as a species.
And I am also keen to the idea of a SU Soundtack Album, I'd definitely get some of that.

She was not racist or sexist, people accused her of it because she cosplayed as Damara from Homestuck, a character made to be an Asian stereotype but people somehow thought the artist's cosplay was yellowface.
And either way, this is importing drama, so can we please for the love of god stop discussing this?

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?It's real "unfortunate" to not be able to draw thick peeps, but the urge to draw them anyway is too strong to just avoid doing it.
There's no shame, it'll happen eventually.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up, it's been literally 2 years since the debacle, so I can't remember everything.
Still though, fandoms have good and bad people, but that not the fandom's fault, that just how humans work. Bad people can do good deeds and good people can draw or write some nasty stuff (need I remind y'all of Rebecca's EEnE stuff...), it's mostly on personality and intentions which is best to say, humans as a whole are of gray morality.
It's not bad, it's not good, we just do what we do and that's being humans.

I have no idea what the cosplay looked like, but if it involved a non-Asian person modifying their appearance to make them fit the Asian phenotype, then it was yellowface. No matter the reasoning behind it.
EDIT: Alright. Consider the drama deported from this point on.

To need be accurate...otherwise it's not true fanart.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Well, if we hadn't already deported the drama, I would say something along the lines of "Well that's not Yellowface by any definition, but I may have a tiny issue with someone who saw merit in cosplaying a character who was apparently (as I have not consumed Homestuck in any media format, and neither do I plan to) an offensive racist caricature."

Hey, remember when this thread used to be about Steven Universe? That was nice.
@SmartGirl333, I must be getting old, because I didn’t understand a single word of your post. And I still don’t know what it is.
Just kidding, it’s like a bus or something.
I never said that the artist deserved to be harassed. I said that neither the artist nor the harassers were fully in the right. Nobody deserves to be told to kill themselves and I would never endorse the harassment, however the artist's actions are not completely innocent just because worse things were done in response.
I'm not sure what's so unclear about my posts, but I'll stop now.
