Why are artists so narcissistic?
I've noticed that many people in drawing or animation have a big need of being recognized and I feel they care more about being called "an artist" than to do the work and shut up, unlike other professions

Social media. It allows people to directly talk and interact with artists without a pr barrier. This unfortunately means most people get to find out the average artist's skull is hollow unless they're talking about art.

Because they are fucking retards. They are usually stupid leftists that know nothing about economics, politics or how the world works yet they want to creep in everywhere and root for legislation that fucks everybody in the ass. They get into drawing because they have an ego problem and want to be praised more than just for the love of it.

Most of them aren't even good at their job, they just do calarts crap and I'm glad AI is replacing them.

Perhaps the fact artist are starting to care what random nobodies think is a sign of how much their profession is coming to a close.

That's how you know 4chan, and really the the social media of the internet, has changed. Back in 2005, OPs question would have turned into jokes, and artists doing stupid shit for laughs at the OPs expense. Now? It's all got to be this super serious argument with people wanting to force politics into it.

You're acting incredibly disingenuous if you look at an OP calling all artists "narcissistic" and telling them to "just shut up and work" and can't tell it's disdainful. No, that isn't how friends banter with each other. That's just OP criticising his perceived character of artists. You're going beyond playing devil's advocate and falling into straight retardation.
>Clearly you can't as you are taking words on a screen that personally.
Interpreting a post straightforward isn't taking it "personally" but your weird obsession with defending OP as not disdainful might be
>You really can't see OP just saying shit to get a thread active
That doesn't change the fact it's disdainful, if anything that is further reasoning. Disdainful posts are an easy way to get activity.

Instead of sucking industry dick despite its ongoing colossal failures you can develop alternate opportunities for an artist.

That is of course unless you can’t make it with your merit, but only connections. Seems like going down with the industry ship is karma in that case.

I often find the people that complain about other people doing something or the people who are jealous of them. I found this out recently when I started going to the gym here I am an old fat ass I'm just trying to lose some weight because I'm starting to have back problems and I had coworkers going well why do you go to the gym you don't even look that bad. That's what a lot of these people that complain about of what other people are doing are just pure jealous losers,.. I started seeing a lot of this artists are evil leftists bastards come around here because AI shills and failures at life. You just meet people in this world don't want to hate on others because of their own lack of self-discipline. The only people who've ever made fun of me going to the gym or fat asses never people in shape even people don't really change it's just always the fat ass, I can pretty much guesstimate with artists the same way a lot of people want to learn how to draw or write or code or do something but for some reason they're too lazy it's easier to just complain about those people doing something. I got the same crap because I started saving money as well current I saved a little money. cuz I put away a few grand I got one guy told me Rich and why are you saving money you should go out and buy a new car I'm like my you crap car gets me from point a to point b why would I care but you know a lot of people make poor life decisions and get mad at people trying to make good life decisions
