You guys need to be more kind.

Every day, when I check this subreddit, I see the odd "drawing/rendering your avatars" post. And do you know what else I see? I see a flood of comments, hundreds of people rushing in and hoping that they'll get picked, while the amount of upvotes is ridiculously low! It's stupid! It's ungrateful and rude! It discourages the artist as they don't get appreciated for what they're doing for our avatars, for FREE.

Do better.

Remember to UPVOTE and remember to appreciate the artists for not only their skills but their patience to actually pick and draw/render an avatar, taking out their own time to do so. People writing stories, writing manga, doing ANYTHING with your unique avatars deserve respect. And you need to give them that, otherwise they may just give up!

And if you really want your avatar drawn/rendered that bad, maybe learn how to do it?

Another thing I've seen in this subreddit is people hating on avatars for being so popular and/or quick to a post. Instead of judging others for how much of a life they lack, maybe work on yours! I mean, people like the 1% commenters DO need a wake up call and do something with their lives (looking at me rn), but you shouldn't go hating on them! As much as your life is in your hands, their lives are in their hands.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you all become a little kinder.
