>>33111718>it was just a bad time to realize the bias artists get in her chat is actually realThat's something that happens in literally every community I've seen, not just hers.
Anyone that contributes something positive gets some leeway proportional to their contribution: artists, developers, composers, planers, regulars, anything you can think of. The only notable exception is moderators which sometimes do, but often don't or get even less leeway because they're meant to be examples for the community.
It can feel like preferential treatment and a bad thing, but it's a meritocracy and virtually unavoidable when you really think about it. The only way to avoid it is to be autistic about it and put it above the community's well-being for the sake of the principle itself.
