they are easy targets. self-aware autistic begs make fun of the unaware autistic begs so that they don't get made fun of themselves. they cringe at their own art, so the have to find even more cringe-worthy art to deflect. and putting others down makes them feel good.

every time I see some tard making a thread about dA, Xitter, Tumblr, or whatever artist, I just know they're doing it out of insecurity and a desperate need to fit in. Mentally ill behavior

I don't see much being made fun of these days. At least on ic, I don't use other social media much.
Decades ago deviant art was made fun of for being the home of "donut steel" OCs which were just sonichu etc. the inflation art, pregnancy and diaper stuff. There was more pressure in other communities to get good, so criticism of anatomy being met with "it's my style!" was made fun of. Nobody talked about soul.

The dA you think about doesn't exist anymore. It's an Ai website now. Most artists I know have stopped posting there.

You can just filter out the AI slop.

me personally im not gonna post my art anywhere outside of beg threads until im confident enough to share it with actual normies
not in fear of ridicule but mainly to have a nice proof of work for potential clients

what would be nice to use as a portfolio to eventually get hired or for commissions?
artstation?
desu i doubt any place is totally safe from AI

Posting on dA as a normal artist has become a humiliation ritual. It's just bots farming badges and the frontpage algorithm.

It's easy to make fun of you guys for wanting to be the sexy girls you draw
