and that doesnt just go for comics! it applies to all hackneyed artists on the internet (but particularly tumbler dot cum)

Okay real talk for a second I’m in the middle of making a comic and I went to a comic book convention to hear a seminar on how to write a good comic

For those of you who don’t know I am a half black half Spanish woman now I was the only person in that room there that was not a white guy. On stage there were three people I don’t remember the other two because I was so enraged that this one guy took the show so this man bun wearing chubby white guy holds up his book whose main character is a black girl and starts talking about how important it is to have representation and how good of a job he did just patting himself on the back and the whole crowd is clapping except for me the only black woman in there I was in the front row and we had locked eye contact and every moment was excruciating as if he was waiting for me to be happy about this when I just wanted to know how to write a comic

I think that moment was the moment I actually despised the left instead of thinking they were funny,

The idea that this white guy hinged his work on the idea of other guilty white guys buying it seems like some type of sick exchange going on around me about me that I wasn’t in

Random and stupid story but this reminded me of it
