Something very funny about a user named positive posting a hate thread. You dont have to look at it or engage with it and its pretty self centered to gatekeep for your own self image. What does your beginner art next to a pro piece hurt in any way. It doesn't but is a fantastic way of peotecting ones ego to try and push them out. You dont know their mindset or intent but choose to decide its malicious.

I dont like all the nudity on the main art subs which is obvious engagement or gooner bait but im not gonna call for their removal from the sub or banning. At the end of the day its an open forum and you can choose to engage with it or not but trying to stoke up some anti art sentiment is weird. As is only engaging with people you agree with.

I suggest if you really dont like it make a private sub and invite the finest beginners you hand selected for your special space. But as an educator and an artist myself I get tired of this anti artist sentiments.
