not gonna lie, self-promoting and saying shit like "...anyways i& #39;m an artist who& #39;s not a pedophile/racist/whatever" in the replies of some creep who recently got outed comes across as really gross to me. shouldn& #39;t the focus be on the victims? why the hell do you deserve a trophy

it& #39;s fine in some circumstances but in more serious ones it seems really tone-deaf and self-congratulatory and nobody really says anything about it. the spotlight shouldn& #39;t be on you just because you don& #39;t want to fuck minors or whatever, it should be on the people affected

like obviously if you& #39;re a person of color doing this in the replies of a racist or an actual victim doing it in the replies of a predator or something that& #39;s perfectly fine, but other times it& #39;s kinda fucking weird

sorry i probably should have tagged this thread with a warning or something
