“You have to be mindful when it comes to your art and who could potentially consume it!”
I can’t control who sees my art. That’s a fact. By putting it out on the Internet millions of people could see it and there’s no way I could control anyone’s reaction to it, let alone be able to stop them from viewing it. If you think that is precisely why people should be mindful, let me ask you this: why should an artist (or author) limit and censor themselves on account of a potential and imaginary “bad audience”? I’m sure that no matter the subject of the art, whether wholesome or problematic, it will eventually be viewed by people I disagree with. Regardless, why should I let the paranoia of something that can’t be controlled dictate what I create? If you’re gonna walk on eggshells around your own creative process in fear of something that is ultimately impossible to avoid, you’re fighting a losing battle. Stop focusing on things out of your control and policing yourself, and try instead to moderate your own personal space. Blocking accounts is the first thing to do and you can even filter tags if you want to, but never, under no circumstance, kill your art for anyone.
