uh hey fuck the idea that it’s somehow more radical + revolutionary for straight people to break conventional gender norms than it is for gay people to do so. it’s not.
when you say shit like “she’s masculine but she’s NOT GAY isn’t that amazing” or “he’s feminine but he’s just SECURE IN HIS SEXUALITY” what you’re really saying is “isn’t it amazing that these people aren’t afraid of possibly being assumed as gay” which is shitty enough as it is meanwhile gay people are putting themselves in real danger by defying gender norms and being shamed for it for “conforming to stereotypes” while straight people are praised for doing the same
Quit harassing children and new artists. Do you people really, honestly think all amazing artists just burst forth from the womb with polished skills and a deep understanding of the intricacies of anatomy and colour theory?
No, don’t be ridiculous, let artists develop and grow. Either encourage them or leave them alone. It’s not “okay” just because they’re not a kid, people can start drawing at three or thirty, let them be. With effort and studying, even a late-start artist can improve impressively, so just… don’t tear people down for posting naive or weird art and being proud of it.
