/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I'm fucking tired of the direction that social media culture is headed, there's nothing I can do about it and every day it just gets worse and worse

I just saw 50,000 people shitting on an artist for drawing a cartoon woman with exaggerated legs- not even in a sexual context, all it takes is some legs and it's "eww this artist makes me want to puke", "where are her organs", etc etc etc. Better yet, the drawing was years old and the person who made it was FIFTEEN at the time. Imagine having tens of thousands of people willing to shove you down a flight of stairs because you drew some wonky legs as a kid. You try to set shit straight but the damage is done, the callout has infinitely more traction than anything you can say in your defense and you'll be getting hatemail from random strangers until the day you die

This shit makes me livid and I can't even talk about it in public. My twitter notifications would be awash in a sea of Steven Universe icons telling me to neck myself if I did
