Hey all,

I don’t normally do this, sorry for the interruption, this is Not VC related.

One of the best artists I’ve ever seen, @eliciadonze, is getting an enormous amount of hate, both on anon and off. They have tried to block the hate but it is relentless (they posted a few examples, see under the cut). It seems like it has escalated recently.

The best response to this right now is to drown out the hate in positivity, please check out their archive and like/reblog their beautiful art! I’ll be doing that momentarily. Or, send them kind messages. Please do not attempt to give advice. Kind words are a salve to help this artist heal from the cruelty of these anons. 

(If the artist wants me to revise/delete this post, I will do so. I just felt that I might try to help by rallying some positivity).

Warning, these messages are very disgusting and cruel. I include them bc the artist had posted them so that we could see just a tiny sample of what they get on a REGULAR basis. I’m not doing this bc the artist is talented (they ARE!), but because there is absolutely NO REASON EVER to send this kind of vitriol.
