“why don’t you just ignore them and they’ll go away”

hey

hey

fuck that

one: no, they won’t. they went away last time for a while, until they found something new to heckle us over. so either we have a whole lot of ignoring to do or we hide anything about our lives that might get some sociopath’s dick hard. nice options

two: as long as we’re giving out useful advice, why don’t they not be fucking cunts? we aren’t talking about wild animals or forces of nature; these are adult human beings and you are relieving them of all responsibility for their actions by not expecting them to behave as such.

three: what do you think they’re going to do even if they do get bored with us? hint: they will go bother someone else, who may not be as well equipped to deal with it. one of them was practically bragging about all the artists who just stay quiet online because they’ve learned their lesson about talking about themselves or really doing anything but quietly posting new art for the dickheads to jerk off to.

this is not okay. it is schoolyard bullying, and the “just ignore it” line validates it by painting it as inevitable. so, frankly, fuck you for helping them.
