what pisses me off about this is that so many trans women began life being raised & treated as little boys who demonstrated “feminine”-coded behavior that got them abused, harassed and victimized by the EXACT same shitbag cis boys who mistreated little girls WE ON THE SAME SIDE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!

i think some transphobia is rooted in weird cop behavior by which i mean like. people see others breaking the Rules of Gendre but be happy meanwhile theyre following the Rules and miserable. so they get resentful and shit

I was just saying to a friend, someone who was horrified by a prominent person’s wretched behavior (but this individual was fine/good to my friend)—I said, “never forget, these people choose the targets of their generosity & goodwill & appreciation as carefully as they choose their abuse targets.”

And if we keep looking for monsters in one area, from one area, and with power, we're going to miss the humans right next to us who may be doing terrible things (possibly without premeditation, but still) It sucks, but this is why it often goes on so long if the person doesn't fit the monster mold.

I know we're trying to find the magic formula on where these ppl come from, where they hang out, and what "turns" them, but having seen them come from and be anywhere, and seen ppl with all levels of power do this stuff, the answer is that anyone has the propensity to do these things. Which sucks.

Sexual predation is clearly not limited to the arts, and so-called "whisper networks" exist in every profession. And ultimately these networks always, always fail. They don't reach the most vulnerable and they don't ever remove the offender or prevent future harm.

WBD's stock price has tanked ~78% since David Zaslav was announced as CEO— $32.68 on 05/19/21 to $7.32, today— to say nothing of the brand loyalty, goodwill, & creative talent he's destroyed. It is amazing & genuinely horrifying that anyone could fail this badly, & remain in a position of authority

Inks are not only my favorite to do, they're also my favorite to read! The magic that people can do with a few grays, black and white just really grabs my eye in a way color never has ^_^ Yeah, there's a lot of snobbery that the art community could do without >_<

I used to get actively harrassed by randos online telling me my comic needed to be in color >__< There's a lot of "you should do" when it comes to comics, and I've found just making the comic in a way that makes you enjoy making it is the way to go ❤️

The other Western indie comic killer is the expectation that A) to stand out your comic must be in colour and B) you can’t sell your comic until you have 300 page library omnibus editions ready to go

I will say, having tabled at anime conventions since the early 2000's, comics were always SUPER hard to sell, for many reasons. I miss cons, but I don't think i could afford them anymore. Comics take long to make too, so putting out just comics is tricky w/out another form of income.

webcomic creators are often the most passionate and driven creators out there because the medium exists, by necessity, purely for the love of the craft. absolutely no one expects their projects to be self-sustaining financially. commitment is the last thing I think a creator lacks in webcomics

Some thoughts on this from someone that has connections to Anime Con World and Comic Creator World(🧵): Most Artist Alley vendors at NA anime cons don't aspire to make comics. AA vending and merch creation (original and fan) has become its own career path that artists aspire to.

Yup. Insta has been an artist graveyard for a while & Twitter dying was an inevitability/foregone conclusion. We should lament the loss of these spaces (and many of us have adapted to new ones) but these are struggles we artists online have dealt with before as tech/social media implodes & explodes.

As a comic person who wishes i could put all my work into comics and not think about merch ever again, Deb's thread and Eric's follow up here were excellent reads (especially bc i have sold in both countries). It's a niche overlap for sure, but it's nice to find others talking about it ^__^

Something important about Deb Aoki's "making manga in the states" thread on twitter is that it discusses the differences between the two ecosystems: the focus on merch to make back high table costs vs. the focus on story and low table costs

Oh I've got a cara account, but it's pretty specific in the styles it likes and isn't as comic friendly as it is for illustrations. I'm more wondering if it's important to build a Japanese audience before trying to table here, and if so, where to ppl find their fav doujin/comic artists ^_^
