To be clear, I did not intend to call you a bigot. However, I do find your stance to be come off as gatekeeper-y. IE: People can only wear glasses that fit the style and use cases I find acceptable.
They have one drawing with glasses and one without glasses, I would argue that they are trying to be inclusive. But let’s say they aren’t being inclusive and don’t care about other people. What happens if they wear glasses themselves and are doing it solely to represent themselves? That’s also great.
This is the gatekeeper part, this comes off as saying that you’re fine with glasses but only in certain circumstances. What happens if they made it big and were pushing on the glasses because they thought it looked cute and added to the dynamism of the drawing?
I also think it’s totally cool not to like the drawing.
However getting on a soap box to yell about either fashion changing
or because society has become accepting of something that used to be seen a lot more negatively
Is a really cynical and mean take to have against someone just trying to share some drawings they were proud of (or trying to share the work of their partner that they were also proud of).
BTW I wrote this on my standing desk :)
And wanting to rally against late-stage capitalism and the pervasiveness of marketing is also great. But then I have to ask, why get mad at what you’re implying are the victims of the system and not the system itself?
I was wrong. I could make a shitty excuse of it being late, tired and Monday but it was mean spirited of me and I appreciate you guys pointing it out.
I need to reflect where that came from as I’m usually not that ill spirited.
I hope the illustrator doesn’t take anything I said to heart and apologize.
