  • Okay sorry, Ive had a bad day and it turned into a rant, tho I still want to say it

    Look, Im OP and I don’t like this attitude of denying people the right to fail. The important thing is to be proud of your failed projects, as unintuitive as that sounds. What is probably my best painting on a technical level is actually quite garbage, I will not share it again I don’t even remember it most of the time. What got the most likes out of everything that Ive posted on DeviantArt was actually made because I couldn’t draw an actual necromancer in the pose I wanted, and I turned the whole thing into a skull golem. My favorite concept I came up with - “the beast to devour the sun” don’t remember if it was 2 or 3 attempts, both ruined by my lack of experience with the medium Ive used - it taught me how to not do things and I still think both iterations were one of my very best original designs. Lack of failures is synonymous with staying in your comfort zone, with stagnation

    Okay, maybe that’s fair, but you can obviously see why the clip has upset people. Im tired of the topic, but what upsets me more is that Hasan defenders, and also he himself, use dismissal as the main tactic, and like, no, people are not stupid for having empathy, even when they got too much of it (If you think such a thing is possible). Dismissal also (obviously, as one of the favorite tools of abusers) makes people suspicious. Should people be suspicious in this particular case? I dunno, my point is that these are completely rational feelings to have

    Anyway, I will try to avoid speaking more on the topic, doesn’t seem worth the time
