Okay, so I'm a bit new to reddit. So recently, I posted art on a subreddit. I'm not going to mention which but honestly, go through my posts, I don't care. On this specific subreddit, I'd posted art exactly twice. TWICE. I didn't post much there because I didn't think traditional art would get much attention. It did get some. Compliments, which I appreciated, but my issue was the fact that some people immediately focused on my hourglass-type artstyle. I have one, but not in an NSFW way or anything. One my first one, someone said the character was drawn like how R34 draws women. I'm worried to post this bc i'm worried i might seem like a whiny 10 year old who can't handle criticism, but I promise I'm not. I'm a teen who-low and behold-isn't exactly fond of having her art being associated to NSFW or R34.
I have nothing against people who draw NSFW as long as its not with children or animals, but I'm still not comfortable with the idea that I may have drawn that stuff? I don't wanna sound annoying or overly sensitive, but is it so wrong to not like having my art associated with NSFW?? I posted another art piece of an oc today, and someone called her 'thicc' but also 'flat' which pisses me off in general, I hate it when people are like 'haha shes flat' "Oh but she's fictional" I DON'T CARE, I DREW HER AND I DON'T LIKE HAVING MY ART ASSOCIATED WITH THESE TOPICS.
First person gave a sorta dry apology that i accepted, second person hasn't said much. I told them it was basic female anatomy and gave the hint I was pissed.
Now, I as a minor am questioning if my art is too 'inappropriate' for someone my age, I feel like I'm being a whiny little shit, I feel…weird and uncomfortable for no reason even though the people were joking around?? And please don't say 'you should've told them to not sexualize the artsyle' no, baby, that would make it weirder because people would be like 'why is she being so specific?' I don't even know, I'm sorry if this is annoying, I'm sorry if I'm wrong, I'm sorry if I'm posting this on the wrong place, just please tell me I'm not being sensitive and am setting boundaries.
