I'm going to be honest when I say the Warriors community and what they've done in the past has effected me negatively to the day
When I first joined the fandom and for 2-3 years is when all of this happened. I was often let into maps, and I was happy. Someone let me join their project! Then when I finished, I was dropped because it wasn't good enough. Forced to redo because it wasn't good enough.
I was told this constantly. Dropped because they changed it to experienced only map. Do you know how heartbreaking that was?
It still makes me doubt my art today. Whay if people really don't like it? What if I'm kicked from a map again? What if I never truly shine?
That wasn't the only thing. My style changed, a lot. And this made people angry. They accused me of tracing or referencing because people don't "change styles" that fast. My art was still called ugly, people said they wanted to die because it was so ugly, people asked me what it was, what was going on, I was still being dropped etcetc. All of this also damaged me a lot.
I was sent death threats over my art. I was sent weird videos. I was called names. By people in the warriors community
It's disappointing really. I was a kid, so happy to join the fandom and j was treated like trash. I wasn't given a warm welcome, wasn't welcomed with open arms. Instead I was given a forever doubt.
Even now I doubt my art, which prevents me from doing art half the time. I get too scared. Scsred it isn't good enough and then I cry and give up. I always get scared I'll never be noticed for my art nk matter how hard I try, what trends I do etc. I'm always afraid I'll be dropped from a map again, accused of tracing, etc.
I'm always afraid I won't be welcome in the fandom
It sucks.
I'm glad the community has improved a bit but I'll never forget
