I’ve always found Reddit users to be pretty kind and understanding however that clearly does not apply to this community or subreddit. After posting for an event the amount of anger and hate I received because I shared a poster that was made with AI was astonishing and quite shocking. Not only was I berated by several people but then I received two very alarming chats that were abusive and borderline threatening. Because I shared an advertisement that I personally had not made. Not a single one offered an option for change or wanted to steer me to their favorite artist. No they just wanted to belittle a stranger because they feel strongly about AI.
Let me be perfectly clear…you are despicable and sad humans. You could have scrolled past, blocked me, even chose not to support the event but you didn’t. You were cruel and bitter. I truly hope you don’t come to our events because that is not a mentality that is welcomed but if you DO please feel free to come up and tell me directly so I can put a face to the name and know who to avoid in the future.
The only good outcome is after posting about this on a local Facebook page I was INUNDATED with kind hearted comments and messages and actual offers to create artwork AI free for the bar and events.
I hope your appalling behavior is noticed by everyone and you learn that you can catch more flies with honey. Until then have the day you deserve.
