lmao how many of your posts are like this

I know it's easy to pretend that when this sort of thing happens, so-and-so has been ~subsumed by the global SJW hivemind~ -- but this came naturally. as I became a better critic, I turned that toward stuff that wasn't self-aggrandizing circular bullshit about rpg cliches and followed that where it took me. what's the point of calling yourself a critic if you pretend some things are above it? what's the purpose of a critic who doesn't want anything to change?

and I know this new angle means I'm basically dead to the old stable of aging, angry, uncritical irc coolkids. I'll get by somehow

But it's normal. People don't realize what they are doing. Be it people that think that they're "smart" and can simply do artists a "favor" by paying them, or be it stupid artists (like me in the past) who are desperate, think their work is shit, and accept the lowest penny thrown at them.

You can tell a lot of work went into this topic. And I appreciate that, and I also appreciate the topic you used :) However, i personally found it to read like something I call forum filler. Where there's no catchy arguments used and its simply thrown in to set a mood. And thats all fine, but I have to wonder why someone would make an original post and not come up with the the catchiest lead post they could imagine.
