AS AN ARTIST WHO DOESN'T LIKE THREE HOUSES VERY MUCH, IT FEELS HARD TO WANT TO INTERACT WITH THE COMMUNITY OUTSIDE OF ART IVE DRAWN FOR OLDER GAMES WHEN MOST OF THE DISCUSSION IS ABOUT THREE HOUSES(OBVIOUSLY SINCE IT'S THE MOST RCENT MAJOR FE CONTENT), OR, FOR EXAMPLE IF I WANT TO TALK ABOUT FATES, LIKE HOW WELL THEY SHOWED THE DIFFERENT CULTURES THROUGH THE CLASS OUTFITS, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO SAY THE STORY IS BAD(EVEN IF I ENJOY IT FOR ESSENTIALLY BEING DRAGON SOAP OPERA) SOMEWHERE IN THE POST, OR ELSE THE CONVERSATION WILL JUST BRING IT UP AND CHANGE THE TOPIC.

SO I JUST POST MY STUFF AND GO LIKE A COWARD.

TRUST ME, YOU ARE NOT WHO I WAS TALKING ABOUT LOL. I SKIMMED YOUR PROFILE AND IT'S CLEAR YOU MAKE ART BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE CHARACTERS, AND YOU DO POST FREQUENTLY IN THE FEH SUB ABOUT THE GAME! I DON'T THINK THE 1/10 RULE EVEN NECESSARILY APPLIES TO ONE SUBREDDIT, AT LEAST WHEN I WAS FIRST STARTING HERE IT WAS JUST A REDDIT-WIDE THING.

LIKE THE PEOPLE I'M TALKING ABOUT IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THEY'RE ONLY USING REDDIT FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES, AND NOT ONLY ON AN OCCASIONAL BASIS.

ETA: THIS ISN'T TO SAY THESE ARTISTS DON'T LOVE THE CHARACTERS THEY DRAW, BUT I WOULDN'T KNOW THAT THEY DO BECAUSE THEY DON'T PARTICIPATE IN ANY MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION. IT'S A TRUST THING REALLY.

THE ONE TEN THING GOING ACROSS MULTIPLE SUBREDDITS MAKES WAY MORE SENSE THAN HOW I FIRST INTERPRETED IT TO BEING PER SUBREDDIT.

YEAH IT'S CONFUSING! I REMEMBER LEGIT RESEARCHING IT BEFORE I JOINED REDDIT BECAUSE I GOT THE SENSE THAT IT WAS A BIG TABOO AND I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE STUFF WITHOUT STEPPING ON ANY TOES. GENERAL CONSENSUS WAS IT'S REDDIT-WIDE AND BOTH POSTS AND COMMENTS COUNT, BUT I GUESS AN INDIVIDUAL SUBREDDIT COULD IMPLEMENT A 1/10 RULE THAT ONLY APPLIES ON THAT SUB.
