Hmm maybe I will post about Mental Health stuff
*remembers that there Are people out there who somehow enjoy the suffering of artists they dont like*
Oh maybe not

Ngl. I have never felt safe on my twitter account. I& #39;ve managed to curate it so it& #39;s mostly art because I just crave an art community, but Twitter is Not that. I cant express enough how I am so solely inactive here because of fear.
I feel bad because I know there are people out there that genuinely like my art and that I might even be their favorite artist, and I want to provide more art so I can bring any kind of joy to people! But I am so afraid of horrible people who take advantage of the anonymity
Ive been in the furry art community for 11 years. I have watched so many people be torn to shreds and canceled for so many ridiculous things and even flat out lies. Seeing that kind of thing for so long, it teaches you to be quiet, be fake, be what people Want you to be or else
It& #39;s like wow, I never thought I& #39;d grow up and actually say Dont believe everything everyone says online. I have seen so many rumors spread about so many people in the past 11 years, and so many people believe them, and destroy peoples mental health over it. Its traumatic dude.
And the worst thing about it all, is that I KNOW I& #39;m not the only one who feels forced into silence out of fear. We all see things happening we know arent right, but because so many of us artists depend on the opinion of people to Live, we can& #39;t say anything, at all.
Even typing all of this, my brain worms are yelling at me that somebody will take this wrong and silently qrt me on their ad about how my vagueness in this thread MUST mean I& #39;m talking about this or that. But nah its like, I only have 280 characters to say a deep complex thought
