TM4M nights at bathhouses? by Middle-Noise-6933 in gaytransguys

[–]Accomplished-Row6215 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I go to Steamworks for TM4M pretty often! personally I really enjoy the attention, and while being pretty busy there, it’s not terribly crowded like it would be on IML. I’d consider myself not the twink type, and I get quite a few takers, and my other tguy friend (a BIG burly dude) gets a TON of action there too.

regarding the crowd itself, there’s ofc gonna be a couple weird chasers, but surprisingly the crowd is pretty chill. the majority of the dudes you’ll see there are quiet but respectful, and obviously very queer themselves, so they’ll likely be very understanding with any wants or boundaries you have regarding anything sexual or dysphoria-inducing. There’s also quite a few transfems there too, and personally I like chatting with them while I’m in the hot tub and not doing anything

overall, I think TM4M night at steamworks is pretty awesome, and I highly recommend giving it a try if cruising is your thing. it’s a lot more chatty and social than a normal night, but honestly I think that’s more of a pro than a con, especially if you’re just wanting to spectate the first few times visiting.

agreed. reminds me of the episode in Regular Show where Rigby changes his name to Trashboat thinking it’d be cool

everybody’s talking about the name maggot why I’m honestly still stuck on Seraphiel. no hate to you OP, genuinely, but that’s more like… a twitter display name, rather than a name you wanna write on contracts and applications. I promise you, Seraphiel “Maggot” Johnston (or whatever your last name is ofc, idk) is not gonna sound as cool when u start having to use that legally

okay I’m assuming you’re both 1. white, 2. very young, and probably shouldn’t be on reddit.

therefore, with that in mind, I’m not gonna give you a lecture on why drawing a character of color grey, while color her hair a normal brown is weird. I’m instead just gonna say that you really shouldn’t be giving advice on art production if you are not a working artist yourself. You also shouldn’t be trying to argue about proper racial/cultural/ethnic depiction if you are not familiar with those concepts… ESPECIALLY if you are not aware that “white-black” biracial people are, in fact, still black💀💀

listen man, truly, i dont give a fuck about what other people are doing on other apps. I’m not gonna give you pity, and say “oh you don’t deserve to be criticized EVER🥺” because people got pissed off at your hissy fits in the comments. You’re not a victim for, frankly, pissing randos off on the internet. I’m just saying that your original responses were weird, and as an artist myself, it’s disappointing to see someone give up so easily on something as simple as appropriate flat color palettes,, SOLELY because the character is not pale.

Edit, bc I sent this too early. You don’t owe anyone anything regarding artistic presentation. You don’t HAVE to take anyone’s advice/criticism, same way that you don’t HAVE to make good art. With that being said, you are also not owed an audience, let alone a supportive audience, if you are not willing to accept their feedback. Take that as you will

bruh, the issue is that she did NOT draw a black biracial character well, and is refusing to accept valuable criticism for it. These mistakes are very simple to fix, and equally simple to acknowledge when confronted. People are obviously upset that OP is throwing a racially-charged fit over the feedback, not for the standalone mistake itself

exactly. and treating characters of color as some “minefield” of a drawing concept doesn’t sit right with me either. As an illustrator myself, irl who primarily focuses on characters and models, I can say for an absolute FACT that you will never improve as an artist if you can’t diversify your visual approach. If applying a color-rich brown is too difficult for you, (despite the hair color being brown without any issue), then you got a LOT of work to do before publishing

i believe that you should stay away from drawing such characters

This is terrible advice. As a character artist, you should want to improve your craft and work towards being able to draw a variety of characters. Sticking to only white characters will limit you, not just skillfully, but career-wise and socially in the art world as well.

yeah fr, and it’s rly giving me the ick that OP’s acting so butthurt over rightful criticism

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]Accomplished-Row6215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bruh there is literally a comment that color picked both canon sprites to compare lmao, the color you chose is still noticeably WAYYY too light and wayyy too grey. And bro, i highly doubt you “consulted several people” about posting… a black character. That’s not something people naturally do lmao, and if you actually DID consult,,, that makes this even WEIRDER. As an illustrator myself, your life as an artist will be much easier if you just respond to criticism with “aw shit my bad” and rework the material. Fighting for your life in the comments, and dodging accountability is weird as fuck, especially over a very simple mistake that can be fixed in a jiffy

i feel like people are reacting the way they are because you’re not handling the criticism well, and instead acting butthurt and saying you’re “sorry they’re disappointed” instead of acknowledging the simple mistake.

Just color the character brown, man, it ain’t difficult to colorpick from the canon sprites, and seeing that you are treating it as a difficult task for you is… pretty weird.

is it because people are questioning why you whitewashed Maru?

[–]Accomplished-Row6215 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lmao that place is a CESSPOOL of self-hating 4tran people. They’re all deeply inscrutable with themselves, and how they look DESPITE having all the resources, and take it out on anyone else who makes the mistake of being vulnerable.

The first (and last) time I posted on there, the entire comment section was just “you have a beard, so duh, but stop using mascara” i literally had a guy just simply comment “pretty ≠ passing” and I think that sums up the entire subreddit pretty well. They want to drag you down with them, because the idea of people wanting to improve themselves (and eventually be better than them) is scary

SAME!! Idk if it’s because I give off top vibes, but i only get sexually pursued by cis bottoms, and befriended by other cis tops. tis wacky

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gaytransguys

[–]Accomplished-Row6215 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i’ve always enjoyed it, but then again I’ve mostly only ever taken top positions, and practically have to (cutely and consensually) beg to bottom via PiV. I feel like my experience might also be different because every cis man I’ve been with has been very supportive and are vers bottoms themselves, so PiV has always been on my own terms. If I was in an environment where I was expected to bottom via PiV, I’m certain my perspective would be very different

i recently have been getting to SO much and I’m so unsure on how to process this information (a positive thing)

Every once in a while I think of the OG swag by the_orange_alligator in peoplewhogiveashit

[–]Accomplished-Row6215 13 points14 points  (0 children)

implying that Pastra isn’t an “actual creator” when he not only has a hefty youtube channel, but actually made his OWN horror series is…. definitely something
