( No Title )
You cannot produce fiction, art, or any kind of media and make it public unless you are prepared for it to gain a fandom, and unless you are prepared for what it having a fandom will mean.
When you make your creations public, you are opening them up to public reaction.
You cannot control the reaction your audience has to your art.
When you share your work with the world you have to be ready to lose the completeness of your ownership of it.
People will always create fandoms for media they enjoy.
That means if you are a creator and you share your creations publicly on a wide scale you need to be prepared for:
- critical reactions,
- harsh and negative reviews,
- fanfiction,
- fanart,
- horny fanfiction,
- horny fanart,
- and for people to wildly misunderstand your intentions with your work.
fair enough but clowns feeling like ass and I think we can stop being openly horny about the puppets
Clown is free to stop being a public media creator if they don’t want to have a fandom. 🤷♀️
I’m a fellow creator, and I’m sympathetic to having your creation get bigger than you intended but when you make work public you have given it to the public to react to.
again, Fair enough but as part of the public I think people should stop being actively horny about welcome home bc it’s having really bad effects on clowns mental health
If transformative works that Clown is seeing are impacting Clown’s mental health then they should block and filter those works.
Their work is public. They don’t get to demand how other people react to it. They can maintain their boundaries by not associating with those people and works.
If it were not NSFW art and fic that was apparently having a negative effect on Clown, but rather any and all fic and art, would you feel the same way?
It is unreasonable to demand that a fandom cater to what makes the creator comfortable or uncomfortable.
I think you have some fair points. I really don’t think he’s “demanding” anything, people can still make horny art of the characters he’s just saying he doesn’t want people to do that right now, which doesn’t seem like a big deal.
If they had a blanket statement on not wanting any fanwork I’d be bummed because I like it but I’d just not post any.
“If it were not NSFW art and fic that was apparently having a negative effect on Clown, but rather any and all fic and art, would you feel the same way?”
also like what do you mean apparently T-T you make it sound like this is some sort of manipulation tactic lol
Oh! I misunderstood what you were asking.
I say “apparently” because as far as I have seen it is the doxxing and stalking that is impacting Clown’s mental health.
I have only seen unrelated people accuse NSFW fanart of impacting Clown’s mental health.
fair enough, that’s just what I had gathered from their posts, like how they’ve been talking about boundaries and their feelings I connected them to have a similar source
Given that they’re talking about being stalked and doxxed, those are the boundaries I’d personally assume they’re being impacted by right now.
It wouldn’t have even occurred to me that they were worrying about fanfiction when they were having their home and life violated.
yeah, fair enough, but I think that we should still like. not make NSFW even if it’s not the most of their worries they still asked not to
It’s your choice if you don’t want to make content in order to cater to the creator’s wishes.
As long as you’re not harassing, shaming or bullying people who disagree with you and create that content, that’s fine.
I mean I’m not gonna bother people because theyre making the Puppet Porn, I just think they shouldn’t because it’s very easy not to and clown asked very nicely
As long as you’re not harassing people or trying to control them its totally okay to disapprove of them or think they’re assholes. (I mean this very genuinely.)
