ohmygawd scream Have I said how much I hate preachy elitist artists? I might sound like a hypocrite, going on a rant here (preaching?) but my goodness. I get so sick and tired of artists fighting over their way or the high way. Its so irritating because they get into these fights of belittling others and trying to make themselves look like god's gift to judging art. Its like.. damn, cant you just live and let live?! What they are doing isnt hurting you, so just leave them alone unless they ask for help. If they ask, then help them in a not-rude fashion or ignore them if you dont like their way of doing things. Its really not that hard. stare What a way to kill a newbie's morale, or scar them for life. Being on the internet artist circuit has hindered my creative process because now I always think of all those arseholes on the internet that would be criticising everything I do. It makes it hard for me to do free-flowing art. Of course, this is my problem not theirs. People's opinions shouldnt afffect me, but they do. I'm like a persocom, in a way.

Its the same with political parties. They sit around and b***h about how their way is the only way, and then sit around belittling their opposition. Its disgusting. (this is referring to extremists and those public lobbyists and such that are making a bad name for their party. not all members of political parties are like this, but the ones that get in the media sure dont look good)

So today's lesson, folks: Be kind to people, despite whether they go along with your prized principles.
