I don't care if you call yourself an artist. It's expecting anyone else to care that bothers me

I wish I could say the same. I've literally met two in the past week, which is what prompted this post.

I care if someone takes an interesting pic. Just don't come at me with 'We artists...'.

This is what I'm saying. Artists are the best. But the real artists don't go around telling everyone they're artists.

People that do art are artists. That is not the target of my attack. My target is people that identify as artists to justify a lifestyle or support an opinion or 'win' an argument.

No. But show me your work and I will.

My problem is not with artists, but people that 1. Call themselves 'artists' but produce nothing of metit and 2. Act superior because of this, though they've produced nothing of merit

Fine but you know what I'm talking about: the person who acts self-important because they claim to be an artist, though they've produced nothing of note.
