>>42300157First things first, the first wave of tumblr hired artists came from DEI programs, this trend started on the 2020s. Ever wondered why animation studios are putting out box-office bomb after box-office bomb? It's not just executive meddling, they're hiring minorities and queers in order to secure funding from diversity quotas. Therefore, Faust isn't a "tumblrfag" in the traditional sense, she's a second wave feminist, not someone who grew up on Tumblr, where being as loud and performative as possible granted you attention, also explaining Tumblr SJW's obsession with adding queer and minority characters, it's got an audience that will applaud and consume it like it's crack.
Second off, this isn't about chuds vs troons, what I'm saying is that the people who truly care about the artistic process aren't inserting themselves into the industry because they're disgusted by it, why the heck do you think people say Hollywood is dead but European cinema is still thriving? The latter is more independent from profits and driven by artistic vision alone, so the only thought process that happens for that work of art is contained between actual artists, not an executive board evaluating how profitable and marketable something will be.
My main point is: The people who Hasbro has hired ever since G4 ended are not people who treat art as art but as a commodity to signal their virtue, they're not on Tumblr anymore but they still seek that same high of getting attention by mere virtue signaling.
