Yo. I've been rocking the beat since Y2K, and you might've heard of me from somewhere. I draw (sometimes) and vibe to a litany of electronic music. Other times I play games although it's mostly one or two at a time.
I might have interesting things if you're patient.
Please don't tag my art. I also don't take requests, commissions, trades or roleplay. Sorry.
Why even bother trying anymore? It's not even about earning clout or validation from anyone for it, it's not about my inability to make what I want like my 2020 meltdown, it's that with the current way everything is going there will be nowhere and no one to show it to.
Yes, this is about the increasing number of sites cracking down on specific things and oftentimes just completely shutting out anything remotely family-unfriendly, others teetering on the brink of collapse, and others still being complete anathema to people like me.
And it's about Bill S-210, or "Canada is about to commit digital suicide" given literally only one party in parliament actually opposes it and they don't have a majority. Oh, and they're electorally doomed. We're going to turn into a far-right dictatorship like Hungary or Russia in less than two years at this rate. But no one cares because it's "protecting children" and people like me are literally the devil for seeing through these false pretenses being used to justify trampling all over freedom of expression. Yes, it's just as bad as KOSA, whose end goal as admitted by some pushing it is to eventually censor all content online even remotely LGBT, including furry content. None of what I said here is hyperbole by the way.
"ok doomer shut up and give me the inflation art you promised"
You don't understand just how destructive all of this is to my motivation. Dexit and severe depression stopped me from drawing for nearly five years. Now all this will drag me back into the pit for good. The chilling effect exists for a reason.
I don't even want to draw or post anything in this climate where any expression is silenced under dubious pretenses of protecting children or . I can't even enjoy the process anymore given I know it'll probably just be all for nothing, and the only place it'll ever remain posted is my hard drive. This isn't like my meltdown I had in 2020 where I was just so bitter and angry nothing came out the way I wanted; I thought the only way things could go was up given I was for once enjoying drawing. This has always been a hobby for me and never a livelihood.
Now I'm having that enjoyment ripped away from me. My hobbies are being taken away from me. I can no longer express myself the way I want. I hate this puritanical cancel culture that's taken over the world. I wish it would just go away forever.
I just want to live.
