So I'm taking a painting class and I suck at painting (good reason to take a class eh?) but yeah there will be more arts soon. Not that I wanna get involved in this crap but I've been noticing way too many people who get being a fan of someone and being their bitch confused.
So many people seem to think that if you're a fan of someone then you're "licking their asshole" and when fans defend this artist (and I'm not sure they should, people can take care of themselves) they always talk about it in that sort of way. I can understand not liking someone's art, and not understanding why other people think its great but when you talk like that it seems a lot more like jealousy. And sadly it's usually people who are 12-16 who are frothing at the mouth over someone else's popularity.
Is this just a coincidence or is it just people at that age wanting to be iconoclasts just because? I feel bad for normal people in this age group because so many people make them all look like contrary fools who just wanna hate something, and I know that's not the case.
But seriously I'm tired of people acting like someone's popularity means that anyone who likes them is just a dish-licking jackal. People like an artist just the same when five people liked them as when 500 people like them. Or because they are a nice person. Or you can like someone's art no matter how big of a dick they are. I could name many people who's art I like but who's personalities I hate. But it doesn't matter, because this site is about art. The more I hang around here, the more I see why many people (many of whom are also popular artists) are dissatisfied and leave. More and more I'm glad no body really knows that I'm here. And before someone asks why I don't just leave if I'm so unhappy, is because it's easier than making and maintaining my own website.
