Bright eyed 24yo dev: Hey look at this amazing thing I made. Only 100 dependencies. Donate money to my patreon. World: That's slick, good on you for putting yourself out there.
Bright eyed 24yo non-dev: Hey look at this amazing thing I made. Buy a print and think about conservation and I will donate money to a charity. World: Wow. Hang on, not wow! NOT. WOW! Our original wow was based on our own distorted / ignorant reality, now corrected by internet / Truth™. OMG you f#$!ing tried to trick us. At least we're pretty sure you did. Destroy.
Edit: She's 24. She doesn't need to be taught a lesson by you or the internet.
- WesolyKubeczek 4y agoRemind me what age Elizabeth Holmes was when Theranos had been at its peak.
- shkkmo 4y agoWow, the comparison makes you look like an asshole. There is nothing analogous between the two situations.
- WesolyKubeczek 4y agoThe comparison is there to point out the age has jack shit to do with this.
- shkkmo 4y agoIt doesn't do that because those are two radically different cases.
- constantcrying 4y agoPeople generally dislike it when they are deceived. If you don't want to blame her, blame the journalists who reprinted her artwork, as if it were a real photograph.
- matkoniecz 4y agoIf this dev would be blatantly misrepresenting their work, then people also would not be happy. Is there website still designed to be deliberately misleading?
- valeness 4y agoIs the "Transformers" movie designed to deliberately mislead you about the existence of alien robots?
- matkoniecz 4y agoNo. Though some people created "moon landings were faked" materials which were misleading.
- valeness 4y agoAgreed. I feel like everyone here just can't process the concept of fiction or having fun. It's her website. It's her art. She can do what she wants. Maybe some people should take responsibility for being "fooled" by fiction themselves instead of trying to blame some random artist for deception.
