Every artist, when they look out there, deciding how to go ahead with their art, has to judge the positives and negatives. I had to myself. For every cool comment one gets when one shares a pic, there's another comment that complains that the art sucks. For every person who is happy that a pic shows their particular kink, there's one (or more) complaining that the artist isn't catering to THEIR tastes. For every artist trying to scrape a little extra money together in their spare time, there will be people who think an artist OWES them art just because they are artists. You may not be making enough to pay your rent or even buy a sandwich, but some people will think even that is too much, and will just steal your stuff because instead of just not buying something if it's too expensive, they think they should just have it anyway.

For me, the choice was clear: don't bother. The hassle of making guro art outweighs the benefits. But don't think this is about me. Just think about all the other artists out there, deciding whether or not to share their stuff, seeing that the "community" is full of people who will just say "fuck the artist" as soon as they don't get their own way. Think of all the stuff you might never see because an artist sees stuff like this and says "why would I ever do anything nice for these people?"
