A Friend · 9mo
even though your art of meemo and his friend can be seen as a joke since he's in a rabbit costume, there are a concerning amount of people harassing/stalking this non celeb guy's instagram, found out his real name and relationships, just because they're convinced he's dating meemo
yeah, i know its your account, you can do whatever you want, but as someone who loves your art i hope you take this reality into consideration before drawing them together again in a sexual/shipping way
hi! i totally get that and i don't condone stalking him At All in any capacity.
While i never really had any plans of drawing anything related to him again, i also dont think its quite ?fair ? to equate drawing fanart -> to the actual problematic behavior of stalking and harassing some random guy that just so happens to be friends w a celeb. its nearly the same argument that All shipping is bad bec there will be bad eggs who take it too far and shove it into actual idols faces, but with the extra nuance that this Isnt a public figure that we're talking about.
i hope you get that im (and other creators are) not directly responsible for the behavior of people who doesn't know how to properly navigate fandom spaces.
however, i understand that it might fuel the wrong people so i agree with you and see where youre coming from! its a topic that has a lot of nuance,, even if my intentions were harmless, i get that it might enable the wrong people further.
thanks for reaching out!
