This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

I avoid the Olympics or "broadcast competition" in general. It reminds me of how I was the one picked last in gym class, while being forced into a "team" that I didn't want anything to do with, and team "mates" bullying and menacing me for not trying hard enough. I saw that it was very good for developing team spirit, if you're part of it.

But even as a spectator, I don't see the interest in watching other people compete. I cycle a bit, about 600/700 km a month, and social media and people around me think that I care about competitions like Tour de France and Giro that, but I have no interest in watching which cyclist is going to be "the best" at competing, sponsored by oil corporations.

Competitive sports on TV/streams are like religion. It's all a question of show, money, and people wanting to fit in by "picking a team/favorite".

The art caught my eye but I can't say I care about the subject.
