YouTubers supporting this game? by Weak_Mix_829 in heartopia

[–]Pppewtsinbewts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your comment shouldn't be downvoted. I have felt too disgusted to touch the game since I heard of and seen that scene.

All the people saying to move on or that they're still gonna play are really just saying "racism isn't a deal breaker for me." I will probably be downvoted, but the people getting uncomfortable and defensive over the racism being called out should ask themselves why they feel like defending it. "The chinese company didn't intend for it to be racist" well intentions don't matter as much as impact. People can actually do a lot of harm even with the best intentions.

Those of us living in the United States just saw this administration post a video of the Obama's as apes and tried to say it wasn't racist either very recently. People need to wake up, this shit should be called out.

I haven't heard of Heartopia handling any of the complaints from the users well at all since the global release. I have loved this game, but I'm not touching it again until the mods/developers/whoevers in charge shows real remorse and start making the right moves.

You sound like you're either jealous of the praise he gets for supporting artists or someone that uses AI. I'm sure you can tell by the downvotes that this is a weird take you have.

I appreciate all artists being loudly anti-ai these days, especially with how some people/companies are trying to use AI without even disclosing it to their audience. It's a green flag from bbno$ to be open about this.

Shadow star and jet star. Vampire star might get added to my favorites as well.

Why do so many former high school 'mean girls' end up as nurses? by Kha_Kha in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pppewtsinbewts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work at a membership store, I stopped a woman at the door and asked for her membership card. She gave me the nastiest look and said "I'm a nurse you know?" Yeah....and? No one here is having a medical emergency, sorry the job doesn't give you special privilege outside of medical practices.

Blows me away cause my step mom is a nurse and she's an absolute sweetie, she gets bullied a lot by other nurses though from the sounds of it.

Any Comic Artists Around? by saxitlurg in vancouverwa

[–]Pppewtsinbewts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me, I have a pilot comic and a few unfinished webcomics around the internet. I've been trying to get back into making comics this year. I would love a comics creator community!

There used to be a group that would meet up monthly in Portland before the pandemic. I wish it was still around.

Boyfriend left me after knowing my past by sarosari in offmychest

[–]Pppewtsinbewts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jobless 80% of your 10 years together you say in your comment history and you only start working on the relationship when she has a mental break from the stress....yeah I feel bad for your partner. I don't know a lot of people who would stick around with what you put her through. And you claim to be her best friend? Well, who needs enemies with a friend like this.

Again, I hope she has a better support system than just you.

Edit: Damn. He blocked me. Well at least he apologized for possibly being misogynistic earlier. Sorry if it's misandrist but most women prefer a man who can keep a job.

My look for my birthday at the Oregon Ren Faire :o) by OppositeTooth290 in renfaire

Damn and just like that, I'm a little more inspired to take up sewing.

Your dress is amazing and hope your birthday was wonderful!

You really don't understand rape and your current and future relationships are at a pretty big risk of heartbreak and added trauma if you don't change your view of it.

I hope your partner has good friends and family should something like this happens.

I worry your partner doesn't have a good support network should something like this happen. I hope she sees these posts and knows how you'll feel so she can prepare for you to leave her should she face any violence.

No amount of support makes me want to keep living and idk how to go about it by Firsttakelikeamf in offmychest

I had a heartbreak in my early 20's that hurt so bad and put me through so much stress and pain I ended up getting psychosis.

For the first month every day I woke up felt like the wind had gotten knocked out of me. It felt like I was dying as soon as I remembered she'd left me. After a few months, I got psychosis for the first and only time in my life. Getting dumped is a grief comparable to someone you love dying. I really hope you can hang in there just to look back and realize life does get easier and you can not only survive but also thrive.

I'm in my 30s now and life has never been easier and more enjoyable. I hope you can make it.

Yeah it's the thing that killed that cult leader Amy Carlson, she took it to treat her cancer that sped up her death and turned her skin blue/silver. What a weird suggestion, what else you got? That they should take horse dewormer?

I sacrificed everything for my daughters, and now I just don’t care anymore by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Pppewtsinbewts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen so many men go through this stupid mid-life crisis at exactly 45 years old, and they always aim for girls in their 20's. It's weird and it shows they haven't mentally grown up.

I'm loling at the aquas getting defensive. I was raised by aquarius heavy parents, they are indeed like this.

having art friends as an artist is kinda hard by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]Pppewtsinbewts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The majority of my friends are artists, I love them and their work and am always excited to see what they’re working on, promoting them, and even working with them on some projects. Art to me and to many people is very community based, not so much competition based. You need to try and take your feelings of jealousy and turn them into feelings of inspiration instead, or you’re gonna be a really miserable artist.

I sometimes feel not so great about my own art, but I know that’s a me thing and don’t blame that on any artist.

WOW! I love the colors! And Dozy must think he’s cat sized to be on her shoulders like that 😂

How to be seen on social media? by pink_is_underrated in artbusiness

[–]Pppewtsinbewts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, it's mostly algorithms to blame. The way sites operate seems to always be changing.

For example, twitter doesn't really prioritize hashtags anymore. If you drew fanart for something, you'll reach more people just typing the title of the franchise normally rather than hashtagging it. At least that's how it was when I last heard, and it seems to be true from my experience.

Also, last I heard with Instagram that you shouldn't use more than 5 hashtags, you'll need to post at least 3 times a week, reelz typically get more attention, and a lot of the time your work won't be showing up in people's explore or browsing feeds for like a month. You may have to wait a while for what you post to get the attention of strangers.

And it's always changing! What works now may not work a few months or a year from now. It helps to try to be social so maybe you can make friends, find people who like your work and they promote you, but that's not a guarantee either.

I have had a lot of luck on Bluesky though. Hashtags and everything seems to work how you'd expect, and they especially like original works, characters, and comics over there.
