>>52671572What bothers me more than the crab mentality is that, without fail, the constant artist boogeyman is always this specific example of someone who charges absurd prices for really shitty art and takes forever to deliver yet is somehow still popular enough to make enough money to be genuinely wealthy or some shit. It's so much of an actual rent-free perception of an artist that it almost borders on pure NPC dialogue with how it always shows up in AI shill threads, yet I have genuinely yet to see a real example/horror story of actually INTERACTING with an artist like this instead of just making one up in their schizo brain.
