It's weird how all of the same artists online share the same beliefs? I thought I was the only one who noticed the correlation between the eternally online TQ+ crowd and animation and art.

I feel you shouldn't be scared to expess yourself, because it seems as if though the mob is trying to silence and cancel you for "thinking incorrectly". Sometimes it's just you against the world.

No you're not the only one. This ideology is been sold to the kids to "fix" the damage previously created by rigids man/woman representations. Like instead of reinforcing the idea that your body isn't your enemy and that you can present yourself in many ways as a boy or a girl, we've been over-sold the same representation as being the right thing (what kids now call "cis" which is just being gender comforming and that make a lot of them unhappy (which is completely normal)). I sort of blame artists, but also not really because... Well, "money never lie" (if people will buy a product with women with big boobs, they'll make more products with women with big boobs. Moral doesn't count in the business world). And not to say that people usually don't have much respect for creative people, but they really don't so why would they side with the "common sense side" when this very side wants them to find a "real job" to begin with.

So the industry gives what people want ("want" = what works) so they won't collapse and artists needs their jobs so they follow the rules. That still don't fully excuse them, it's still shaking the wrong hands for their own personal benefits. Nothing unusual tho, and artists aren't the only one doing that.

Then... There's the ones I call the worst... They're the ones that are truly over doing it with their TQ+ propaganda art on top of making those work places insufferable because of their identity obsession. I have no respect for those people that are actively hurting people by feeding them lies... And even if they're in pain too, I just see it as "Misery loves company".

There's a lot of compromises in the modern society to make to fix this whole issue... And art/visuals/medias play a big part in this. It's just less apparent or people do not take it seriously enough yet.
