really don't like seeing people making fun of beginner or otherwise just not perfectly honed/skilled artworks in the year 2026

like its not something thats ever gelled well with me, but particularly now in a world where gen ai has existed for years and been pushed relentlessly on every corner of society, everybody making any effort to make art even if they don't have years of practice under their belt, the passion and care and interest, the want to express oneself no matter how small or silly that expression may seem, should be celebrated. the capitalist class is actively trying to enclose the commons of thought, expression, and creativity. every little stick figure depiction of something, every first oc, every cartoon cell tracing, every wobbly study, every little bit of "incorrect" anatomy or proportions or whatever else, brings me so much joy right now, in that the ones spending billions to convince you to have just lifelessly generated something in its place were not successful, and instead somebody got to experience the creative process, and make something that is theirs
