I feel the rise of n/f/tee is the result of many shitty mercenary ceos, who own companies that focus on content / creation, and their long search to find a way to bypass content & creators.
Cause if you have a company that focuses on created works or products made by artists or artisans, your growth is dependant on the amount of artists and the fact that they are producing. If they all sit around and don't promote their stuff, your numbers tank.
So you can expand into offering other services, or investing into new side companies. But if you're shitty, n/f/tees are great. You can reel in a new pile of suckers, you can make big 💰 by fleecing them, and you don't actually need content creators. You use the existing pile.
Followers may have seen that I was working with @inesmbravo on an upcoming webcomic. This time, instead of the artist, I am the co-writer.
⬇️💙Synopsis and Announcement Patreon post below.
There's a longer synopsis on (patreon.com/posts/52906685), but in short, Trinket is about 33-year-old magical girl Luana, the oldest on the job, accidentally becoming mentor to a newbie magical girl with impossible power levels and a mysterious origin.
The universe for this series, character design and aesthetic is all born from @inesmbravo's brain, i'm mostly helping with writing and page design! There will be a Patreon dedicated to Inês' work, but Trinket content will be crossposted on the Namesake Patreon as well.
Sometimes I see internet comics where the author's joke falls flat and the message transforms into - "I don't get why people want rights". I'm not going to post it so that artist doesn't get wacky feedback but...
The joke was about a girl putting a ton of beauty products on her hair and body, and then going to a march against pesticides. I'm assuming the author's intent was to go lol look at these ladies putting a ton of products on themselves and then refusing to eat them irooonyyyyy
But it's like... my dude we don't eat beauty products either way? What I got from the joke is that the person who draws it seemingly doesn't take care of their body (or shames ladies for abiding to excessive beauty standards, either way)...
When it comes to firing abusive men, I have far too many stories. I have at least a story about an exploitative sexist jerk for each job i've had, because I worked with programmers, I worked in PR, in publishing, in management. Everything.
I had one job where a guy would regularly make all the female employees cry once per month, and he was proud of it. He didn't like me because a lot of his insults would bounce off me and i'd report him everytime. Downside is that me reporting it seem to have no effect.
It was kinda like a game to him. He liked to tell me it was nice that I was "smarter than the average female" because I looked "like a hairy jewess" and "people don't like working with ugly women". He was one of the "top guys" at the company according to management.
