@Print there was a really popular like if you support jesus posts or something that's in superlikes and then ive seen two like if u support lgbt posts in like the past 2 weeks
it makes me so heated ****

THANK YOU FOR THIS RANT

RIGHT

Sick.

Exactly.

I've stopped giving stars to like-begging posts entirely, even if what they're saying applies to me.

Don't make this place 2013 Colors 3D again, people.

At least there aren't a bunch of "give me your friend code if you wanna date me so I can send you pictures of me on Swapnote" pics, only a few people seem to ask for online dates here.

Oh yeah that superliked post. It's really old though.

But I guess whoever superliked it kinda sparked the whole thing.

@Unaone right
the best thing to do ig is not give them the attention they so desperately want

and yeah ik
it's just a really stupid trend and im annoyed it's resurged

IVE SEEN A BUNCHA THIS STUFF AND I’VE ONLY BEEN HERE A COUPLE MONTHS

I once found a really old one that was "like if you live in America"

Honestly, what do people gain from it?

"Yay!!!1!1!!! I got a gold star!!!!1!1!11!!"

You begged for one, and didn't earn it, therefore, it is invalid.

I wonder if people who get their first gold star that way even feel the same way as people who earn them with legitimate art do. But I guess a lot of beginner artists here are impatient to make art that's good enough for one.

Ugh, sorry if that became a rant.

NO BUT FR WSHJSNSJSJ THEY MAKE ME SO MAD ;;; ESPECIALLY WHEN U GET TAGGED IN EM ???? UGHHHHHHHHHDJJC

@STARZZ RIGHT ITS SO ANNOYING

OR LIKE THOSE IF I GET 100 LIKES I GET A PET HAMSTER THINGS

@Unaone Right?? Like what is there even to be proud of? Congratulations you got 25 likes on a white canvas with some words on it. Hope you feel accomplished

Nooo not the "my mom (who probably doesn't know I'm on social media) will buy me a [insert pet here] if this post gets a pow star"

I once called somebody out who said their mom would buy them a corgi if they got 100 likes. They kept deleting my comments.

@Unaone literally
like who's mom is having their kid beg for likes to buy them a pet?
sounds like awful parenting.
and then instead of having actual reasons to support it they'll just delete comments/block you/ make a post calling you out and saying you're a bully
like be ffr

@SugarSkulllz I was SOOOO guilty... there's a post where it says "like if you support lgbt" I'm gay, but I only support my besties, not every gay person. Just like i support my christian friends, not every single christian [it's a pet peeve but still]

It's good thing those particular ones died down. I guess too many people were like "yeah, no."

But then a new kind had to show up to replace it.

@Strings_Again i support lgbt people and christians as a whole, do i support every single thing every single one of them does?
absolutely not
there are plenty of people i dislike who so happen to be lgbt or Christian and i don't let my ties to either community affect my opinion on them.
it's just a part of someone
like just bc i had a friend who was really nice and had blue eyes doesn't mean i like every single person with blue eyes.
however im not gonna hate someone for something about thmslves

that they were born w/

help that got ranty and doesn't really have to do with the post but still

@SugarSkulllz tbh i understand lol but yeah people be like: "Like if you're gay" Why? You benefit, how?

@Strings_Again

It's the elusive gold star that everyone's obsessed with

THANK YOU-

i mean maybe it's bc i have so many golds that i don't see the appeal of doing it
(im not trying to flex i swear)
i mean ig if you don't have any and likes is genuinely all you care about
but i care more about people enjoying my art than giving it a little brown star

@SugarSkulllz @ArtisanLydi @Unaone Sweetie- i don't give a hell how many gold stars you have, get those stars based off art, not orentation or religion, or even politics!

@Strings_Again EXACTLY

[idgaf if this is comimg from someone who doesn't have any gold stars lmaaoooooooo]

Sometimes I wanna ask them why they make those posts.

And semi-off-topic, but those "WHO UNFOLLOWED ME" posts are really annoying too. If we got notifications for unlikes and unfollows this place would be a toxic wasteland. Or more of one than it already is.

@Strings_Again @Unaone @SugarSkulllz
i mean like i enjoy getting validated/ gold stars???
but im not gonna 'LiKe tHiS iF yOu lIkE aPriCoTs'
and frankly as someone who puts 4+ hours into most artwork the fact i get 5 likes to 90 cause 'like if you like apricots' PI SSES ME OFF-

:skull:

fr?
ppl actually do this??
this is v/ upsetting.

@Strings_Again

Haha, you have to retract that statement now.

@Unaone honestly fr-
like that person is gone anyway so how are they gonna answer you?! TwT

@Unaone right
and ig i get it bc i used to care when i lost followers but like
really most of the time it's a banned or deleted acc

@ArtisanLydi

OH BOY IF THEY START SAYING STUFF LIKE THAT IM OUTTA HERE

@angel_supremacy god, yes. and its annoying as heck qwq

@Strings_Again ive gotten like 3? 4? meh.

@Strings_Again me and una got chu
enjoy ur star

@Unaone LMAO IT WAS ALL I COULD THINK OF XDDD

@ArtisanLydi
:skull:
knowing this makes me wanna commit choking

@ArtisanLydi I swear to God through Jesus Christ- "get this to 50 likes post" I made one like that but the design for that invitation took almost an hour for me to make and it really has some benefits behind it. When I make art I consider good, i'll normally get 10-20 likes at most, which is sufficient. But some art i worked on for 5 hours and only got 3 likes for it- W T F BICH!!!

@angel_supremacy whats worse is when someone is TAGGING 55 ppl- -n-/

@Strings_Again fr. i made one yesterday-
got ONE like on a 12+ HOUR PAINTING-
took it down i was so mad (which was stupid) LMAO

@ArtisanLydi
:skull:
i've been tagged in a couple of like begging posts, but i just said dont tag me again + left lol

@soupd i have 0 idea what that means- but if i could i would dislike it LOL

@Strings_Again

I also made a like-begging post once but that was just for fun and I said I would delete it at a certain time. I had to keep it up longer than I said because of an unforeseen hiatus, but it's long gone now.

@Unaone understandable! atleast it had a purpose

agreed. while religion is important to some and usually isn't meant to be toxic, it can come off that way to others (not speaking for me here).
This platform is for art, nothing more.

@angel_supremacy i hate my people pleasing ways- i have so much trouble making boundaries and saying that..
i hate my niceness at times lmao
but fr unless it some actually art- ho one should be tagging me -_-*

@ArtisanLydi

If you put it back up, I'll gladly give it a like on every account I have access to.

@razrdraws HAIIIII I HAVENT SEEN YOU IN FOREVER!!! ^w^

@ArtisanLydi
YEAH

@Unaone thanks but i hate to say i deleted it in anger.-
and nooooow im remaking it, after realizing my stupidity. i was making the mona lisa look alike of all things. TwT

@ArtisanLydi

AAAAAA NOO D:

@Unaone i make really bad decisions at 3 am- i swear QwQ

@ArtisanLydi

I do too, but they're mainly in written form.

Okay.

Now promise to NEVER delete ANY of your paintings EVER again/hj

@Unaone lol ill try-TwT

I posted something like this. I'm extremely sorry, At first I saw it as a funny little joke, but now seeing it from this perspective I regret it. I have deleted it and wont post/like anything like that ever again. Again, I'm sorry. /gen

This post needs a superlike.

That'll show 'em.

i block ppl that tag me in stuff like that or literally come onto my art posts and beg, in what way do people think thats an ok thing to do on a freaking art game xp

@Unaone @JustAJex
i deleted the comments bc it was just an argument about wether people calling out things they find wrong being mean or not but i'd like say this was in no way posted to hurt your ( @JustAJex ) feelings. I find making those posts wrong and they're ruining the community. I saw a problem and said something, i apologize that your feelings got hurt but that was not the intent bc the post wasn't about you, it was about the posts themselves

That's fine

ok! :3

@0Raccoon0 i agree entirely with all of that
(except those dsmp people live together now so that was inaccurate and i had to point it out im so srry)
but yeah
young kids on a social media platform
it just breeds bad

@0Raccoon0 yea ik im sorry lmao

Thank you!

...You...Didn't post this to get extra likes, did you..?

Jk

@Wind_Waker no kacjsdhjschjs though i did think about how fast it got liked afterwards.

anyways it was less anger towards the likes and more directed to the fact you would essentially monetize someone for them

basically not mad abt
'hey please like this post'
but rather abt
'like this post if you're not a bad person'

Ye, I hear ya

YES
also people begging for likes like PLS GIVE ME 300 FOLLOWS!! or GET THIS TO 100 LIKES GUYS!!!! its so annoying, also sh artists (used to be one sadly). just let people post art and art only and let artists actually be popular instead of people begging for clout, its so annoying when people like this get attention more than people who put time and effort into their art. just get a tiktok account if you want clout so bad.

wsg @ArtisanLydi

@razrdraws not too much! oh, but im becoming a nurse soon! :p
