(I’m writing this journal to spark critical thinking and conversation — not to bite anyone in particular. But I will be harsh with my words.)
I won’t be the first or the last to complain about Inkbunny. But I’ll take a more critical stance and point my attention toward the artists and the way things seem to flow around here. This journal may sound bitter or disrespectful, but I’m being real about how reality works and simply giving my opinion. I’m not here to set rules or say how X should behave, but to bring a perspective that might be worth discussing — or maybe it’ll just get me bitten in the neck and blocked. Either way.
First off, let’s be real — a lot of artists have been acting purely out of emotion, like snowflakes, and not being reasonable in general. And yes, that’s a fact. Some of them have already backtracked and admitted it over the past few months, while others are still sinking deeper into it — each for their own reasons, some valid, most weak.
Now to the ex-artists who deleted everything and think they can sneak out the back door without consequences — thinking their work won’t be shared or reposted. You’re being unrealistic. That’s like defying gravity. You can fight it all you want, but your work will be reposted — whether you like it or not. The more famous you were, the stronger that pull becomes.
Lately, I’ve seen a bunch of people who quit complaining that their art ended up on E-Hentai, Rule34, and other places. Ever heard of the Streisand Effect? It works like gravity — once something hits the internet, it’s there forever. If you didn’t want anyone to see your art, you probably shouldn’t have posted it in the first place.
Now here’s my personal take: the only people you’re really hurting are your fans. You might be acting petty toward them — treating them with hostility just because they’re reposting or trying to help others find your work. Call it harassment if you want, but honestly, you’re blowing it way out of proportion. In most cases, these people just liked your art. A real harasser is someone who hates you and wants to ruin your life — not someone who wants to save your gallery.
And to the artists dramatically slamming the front door on their way out of Inkbunny — here’s something that’s been said countless times already: most of you are just speeding up the collapse of this space and handing it over to AI. For people who supposedly hate AI so much, you sure are doing a great job clearing the path for it. You seem to forget that people value convenience — and a good chunk of them won’t follow you to Telegram or wherever else. That kind of move usually fails and pushes more artists away instead of building something stronger. I’m not saying it’s bad to create a new channel — I’ve thought about it myself — but to try and replace Inkbunny? How efficient is that really? Even the most popular ones — their traction drops from 5.0000 / 10.000 followers down to just 1,500, turning into a closed-off bubble and Imagine someone following even just a few artists — now they’re stuck with 10 different Telegram groups. That’s exhausting and messy. If that doesn’t bother you... well, that’s honestly surprising.
Some artists talk about lack of acceptance, when behind the scenes some of you are being petty, cryptic, and stuck in your own convoluted philosophical fantasy. Blocking people and shutting down conversations just to avoid debate. Sure, your freedom of expression is yours — but the freedom to hear opposing views is also part of that, if you’re willing. But let’s be honest — most of you can’t stand that part. It’s ironic, because eventually we’re all going to end up talking to the wall, stuck in echo chambers, trapped in caves with nothing but our own thoughts — which might just be shadows of insanity.
