What’s the average age on /ic/? I’ve been posting here for a while but now I feel like I’m posting alongside little kids. Idk if it’s because I’m just older or what. Take the poll or post in the thread or do both.

27 and same here, I’m too asocial and flakey to make lasting connections with other people. I like anonymity because it’s like screaming into the void, none of it matters by the next day.

>> No.4004159

>>4004128
Yes! Yes exactly. I almost wonder now whether something like the following would be doable and nice-
if there were an online community where sociability was the exception and not the norm, but we all were still attempting progress in art making in tandem with no feelings of guilt if we simply disappeared sometimes with no warning or didn't make any conversation at all.
Art/study companions who still feel close without having to interact socially.

>> No.4004165

>>4004159
Lmao the LAS threads are exactly that. Most people just post there work on the site and don’t interact with anyone else at all, it’s a community but in a loose sense. That’s why I quit way back when, maybe you oughta check them out.

>> No.4004188

>>4004165
Actually I did that twice, for a long time. It was nice, but I was imagining a place so very much low key that you aren't required to post to a schedule. Group challenges and activities would still be fun. A study group whose members are already innately motivated to progress, even if there were no black-and-white requirements, and comfortable with each other without having to conversationally confirm it in the site..

I will be finished in early 2021 and up till then i'll try to expand my portfolio. I at least feel like im on a good way to "making it" though im still intermediate level.

And while we're at it what is /IC/'s gender ratio? I put godamn trannys as a choice so they don't mess up the women's category

Why do some people on /ic care about gender so much? Any response aside from male causes a hissy fit to break out.
We're all here to draw and to get better.....I hope.

Gender influences on aesthetics, there is a clear division. Refer to otakus and fujoshis to see what unrestrained taste entails.

I answered the poll (24yo) but I also haven't been on /ic/ terribly long. It is a bit surprising to see so many 18-20 posters though I started on /b/ when I was 14 or so, so I shouldn't be that surprised.

As a general rule, guys like lolis and thots.
Girls like big bishounen with big hands and room for homosexuality.

I have a femoid art friend and her tastes are perfectly average and shit, sometimes I wish she was one those lesbian wannabes who like cute girls, but even those generally don't perceive it the same way, there's always a submission element somewhere that ruins everything that is pure.

the reason this board sucks in the first place is they fucking ban everyone that doesn't act like a retarded /pol/ nigger. The jannies are faggot kids. and the mods are Russian shills. The board will never not be cancer.
