One last food for thought moment and I'll go back to shutting up. If I child proudly shows you a drawing they've made, do you think that they are selfish for doing so? Or is perhaps HUMAN NATURE THAT DOESN'T SIMPLY GO AWAY ONCE ONE GROWS to search validation with art?

Riddle me this. Or don't. Because you people have kind of lost the fucking plot and have apparently forgot what BEING A HUMAN BEING means.

You know, I've been sitting on these thoughts for a while because there was always this vibe of "writer, you're not allowed to complain or you are selfissshhh" skulking about but I'm fucking done, so here we go:

When that happens don't come fucking crying to any of us. We've been telling you. We've warned you that literally all you need is the decency to give back a modicum of feedback, something that takes you, like, a minute.

So stop bullshitting me with the "no one owes you anything" platitudes, because, guess what: No one owes YOU anything either. It's a two way street of not owing shit, baby.

this fucking convo I just had, man
Replying to @hellomelloanne
Wishing to NOT throw your hard work into a void of nothingness and having a natural human desire for connection and to know you art is being appreciated by others is capitalist creep, now, I guess. Sure, Jan.

At this point I'm highkey wondering what percentage of the people who act like writers/artist are the progeny of satan for expressing a desire for feedback are writers/artist themselves And not to get "source: I made it up" on y'all but I have the suspicion that it's VERY SMALL

BUD YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME THAT FANDOM *ISN'T* BASED ON COMMUNITY INTERACTION AND CALLING IT CAPITALIST THINKING RIGHT NOW ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Capitalist thinking has really infected the fanworks sphere and I think that, more than anything, is going to be the undoing of the fandom community.

I'm begging the "If you don't want people to do whatever the fuck they want with YOUR work then don't post it in a public place " crowd to explain to me what they expect the natural consequences of defending and upholding this position might be. I'll wait.

(Spoiler, I don't need an explanation. The natural consequence would be a solid "well, what the fuck is the point to post, then", and all those lovely fanarts you like to steal and the great fics you like to treat as disposable popcorn content would be fucking gone, geniuses)

I'm seeing SO MANY ppl going "IT'S A PUBLIC ARCHIVE THERE'S A DOWNLOAD BUTTON YOU'RE SELFISH" at fic writers expressing uneasiness at all the 'here's my google drive of all the ff I saved' threads that are popping out like. You people aren't for real.
My toxic trait is that I hope that the AO3 2026 Disaster will chase away the 'content' consumers that dgaf about the communal aspect of fandom and will just gorge themselves on fic after fic without ever leaving a single fucking comment ๐Ÿ’ƒ

I'd love to be proven wrong on this. I really, really do. I'd love nothing more than to stand corrected and see a renewed appreciation for fic writers, who are the real backbone of any fandom, to come pouring in once ao3 is back up. But I'm not exactly holding my breath on that.

Highkey might start blocking anyone I see being snarky at fic writers about this because if you can't even have the tiniest amount of empathy for people who share their work with you with the *GASP* hope they might receive some human interaction in return I simply do not like you
