bro this commodification of art shit is so wack. & I don't mean in the "selling out" way I mean literally how capitalism has changed how we think about art from being a communal process of expression that we all participate in to a Commodity Object. literally the only one way we recognize someone as a "real" artist is if their art is available on the Marketplace. it's fucked bro it ain't right

Possibly unexplored consequence of abolishing capitalism: eliminating the distinction between “professional” and “amateur”. It was a false distinction anyway, tho

so many ppl have asked me like how do I know if this first draft is good or bad and I go NO it's not an OBJECT OF EVALUATION AS A COMMODITY it's a LIVING PROCESS

anyway this is also why fuck fandom. we deserve better than to think of what we make together as "oc's"

thank you! the idea of, and the subsequent widespread proliferation of, "OCs" has been like nails on a chalkboard for me, and I'm glad to meet other people online who feel at least similarly. It's so odd to me. What's being described as "an OC" is just... a character... a character you don't have to be subject to takedown notices about (rare but possible, Pepperidge Farms remembers Ann Rice)

It is so, so obvious how it effects art and the act of creative expression, but this question also always has me wondering about how many other activities would evolve outside of capitalism. Like sports (i guess 17776 is all about that) or food culture. I realize this is actually a subject of much thought im not the first to think of it...but still!
