Quoting the text for easier read to everyone:

The desire to exclusively engage with media and art made by "unproblematic" artists is a direct result of Americans viewing media consumption as an inherently political act because that is the supreme promise of Western prosperity and the religion of consumerism, and that's because it's seemingly all that's left. We've been stripped and socialized out of any real political energy and agency. Our ability to consume is the only thing remaining that's "ours" in late capitalism, and as a result it's become a stand-in for (or perhaps the sole defining quality of) every aspect of being alive today - consuming is activism, it's love, it's thinking, it's sex, it's fill in the blank. When the act of consuming is all you have left and indeed the only thing society tells you is valuable and meaningful, the act must necessarily be a moral one, which is why people send themselves down manic spirals deciding what, who is "problematic" or not, because for us the stakes are that high now.

Okay so I would give you a link, but here’s why I’m not: self promotion-always gota be careful with that. 2 there is actually a school of thought that says a few people looking something up is as good if not better than several people clicking a link.-especially considering the not insignificant overlap there is between our communities just by the nature of the thing.

M yes and Lemmy links. How do they even work. I don’t know :D

Ok this one is a bit out there, so stick with me. For the unitiated, tumblr is the depressed gay artists website that yahoo drove into the ground by banning porn [its core content creators] sexy starving artists etc etc. ive been on there like, more than 10 years, and im finally getting around to really scoping the place out. In the course of creating this space here on lemmy, the thought occurred: 'hey, these artists are in a rough spot, id love to commission work from them, have a backlog of stuff to do, but also I am in a very similar situation.' ... 'idea, find the artists that don't know what to draw, and just tell them the things id like to commission art of'. so that is how i got to perusing the #Art Block, tag on my favorite microblogging site. 10/10 can recommend.

TLDR what if we, go to the depressed gay artists site, and cheer them up a bit or something. Do you think they will drop art like a side quest? Yes 100% that is exactly how it works anyone can do it.

hmm..perhaps just pitching tumblr here a bit. its pretty straightforward. use reblogs like how you would likes and likes how you would bookmarks. talk to people if you want, #you can talk in the tags, #like this. make sure to change your profile picture right away. there is a bot problem. oh and be liberal with the block button. see aforementioned bot problem.

OK, so granted it’s not necessarily cool. It is just a normal link. But like seriously you know it’s it’s always an option to professionalize the research aspect.
