the ongoing problem with mcyttwt artists, a thread
now if you’ve been following me for a while you know that i’ve call out a good chunk of artists that do weird things in the community however, despite artists seeing their friends get called out the behavior continues so, here’s a master thread of all my issues with the artists.
1) drawing white people too dark and white washing poc. on february 10th a post was made by artist @_cartilago_ of a sapnap fanart, where he was way darker than he should’ve been. people got rightfully upset and then the black people who were upset were getting called gringos-
and shit. this led to several other artists drawing white mcyts as poc which is harmful because why are you using a white man and poc representation yknow. now this has been an ongoing problem as we saw with sapnaps youtooz and the justification is always-
“well his mc skin is dark” his mc skin isn’t a black person and even then, his skin shouldn’t be that dark.
actual content creators of color like skeppy, ponk and quackity are often drawn as white but you’ll bend over backward to draw sapnap and techno as poc. and when poc explain why they don’t like it, you all get all defensive and go on attack rather than understand why-
you were wrong.
old charts but @/Tiny_gh00st and @/_cartilago_
2) the sexualisation of minors. specifically tbbo and rnboo. on february 28th popular fanartist @/tovaro_ made a “joke” about rnboo listening to careless whisper with tbbo. now i had said something on this and got attacked for hours however-
after this situation it continued with another popular fanartist @/mangosharkz made a joke about putting something that tbbo said to rnboo on stream on p0rnhub,
both of these artists gave apologies however the jokes being made and no one batting an eye until it was reposted is the issue, there’s definitely more examples of this but these were the big 2
3) blatant racism and anti blackness. now when i spoke abt people drawing sapnap too dark or big accs being weird abt minors there was one common response to it all, racism. now no matter how i phrased it, feelings toward things were pushed away because i am black
adding on to the fact that several fan artists don’t speak about poc issues ever, but they get upset when their faves get called out.
another popular fan artist @/JLemongrass (who has me blocked) tweeted this and i made a thread abt why it’s was wrong and was promptly blocked. and no one batted an eye. then they reduced it to just making a joke.
minorities issues are not and will never be a joke. and you can’t get away with saying things because you pass them off as just being a joke.
to conclude, having a platform and maybe a cc follow doesn’t mean you can’t accept criticism. allowing these people to get away with making jokes like these is adding on to the toxicity that you all claim to hate, and these people can keep their big platforms because-
they hid behind a /j or put out some bs apology and block the people who get upset( looking at you jlemongrass fuck you) but you all clearly can’t handle having big platforms on here and it’s sad but also-
the way you all jump to defend artists who have clearly messed up is weird asf and it’s also something that needs to be addressed. getting mad bc someone who can draw good is getting valid criticism is small minded and you all need help if you do that
you can’t be an artist and not be able to accept criticism, thank you goodnight !
now why i got pqrts ...
