House Rules
Treat someone’s account like you’re in their home. Respect their house rule…...or get kicked out.
Basic
Your gender, age, sexuality, race, beliefs, struggles, and the internet are not excuses for being disrespectful! I go by the statement, “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” It is an extremely simple concept. Respect is earned, not given. Think before you speak!
If you wanna an issue with me
I don’t do internet drama, gossip, internet back-and-forth or whatever you wanna call it. I’m a tired ass grown woman. We can talk face-to-face, or you can shut fuck up.
IMPORTANT
If you actively need to find an excuse to be toxic, then don’t be surprised when people want nothing to do with you. It is not mandatory for ANYONE to tolerate your behavior on THEIR account.

What will get you immediately blocked?
I don't even have to talk to you, I can just see your actions. Like everybody else!
| Accusing EVERYTHING is AI | I hate AI more than the next guy, but fucking use your brain for 5 minutes! I have seen actual artist, writers and voice actors get accuse with either no evidence or with the DUMBEST explanation on the planet. IF YOU'RE DUMBASS CAN'T TELL, DON'T BE THE JUDGE!! | If you're doing it because you don't like them for whatever your DUMBASS reason... DIE!! |
| Acting Like The People You Claim You Don’t Like | This is what society calls a hypocrite. Antis, pros, I stand with, kick, whatever the fuck ya’ll want to call yourselves; if you act the same, I'm gonna see ya’ll as the same and you’ll be treated the same way as anyone else on this list. Simple as that. | |
| Acting Stupid | I am not in the mood for that. If you’re gonna play stupid, I’m gonna treat you like you’re stupid. | |
| Artists Shouldn’t Bully Other Artists | That has NEVER been the way of promoting your art, it’s just pathetic and sad. You’re never gonna get followers that way and you’ll 100% be on an Artist Beware and/or an Artist Watchlist with that attitude. Instead of spending time being a dick, actually take the time to improve yourself mentally and your work. Nobody on the planet is require to put up with you nor your work and being an asshole ain’t gonna cut it. There are many videos out there on how to self-promote… WATCH ONE OR TAKE YOUR TRASHY ASS OUT OF THE COMMUNITY! | r/ArtistHate is a good subreddit to be on top of who DECIDED to be an asshole. And, yes, YOU decided to act that way. NO ONE ‘made’ you be that way. |
| Being A Bigot. | Racism, LGBTphobia, or sexism of ANY kind are NOT welcomed! | |
| Being A Brat | Just because you are not getting your way does not mean you can use words like “harassment” or “bullying.” Also, it is considered highly childish to abuse the report button just because you are not getting your way. People are not going to take you seriously when you act that way. And frankly, I don’t have the patience. | |
| Being A Control Freak Or Having A God Complex. | This is extremely toxic, and just like everything else on this list, it is not welcomed. | |
| Being Hypocritical | If you're the type to make fun of mental health coping skills, but get mad at a cartoon show to where you HAVE to make a public statement/announcement. Maybe, don't talk too much. | |
| Being A Troll In General | I am not even going to give you the time of day. You were never welcomed, you're just trespassing at this point. | |
| Being Negative On A Positive/Up-lifting Post | That’s not a healthy mindset, there are therapists for that. Also, don’t be surprised and/or irrationally upset that people are disgusted by you. Go be miserable in private. | |
| Bring Up Random Internet Drama Or Politics On A Non-related Post. | I just wanna draw, and be goofy. I am not here to inflate your ego. Besides, it always ends up with both sides being trashy anyway. | |
| Destructive Criticism. | If you cannot learn the difference between Constructive vs Destructive; especially when you have the entire internet available for you to look it up, then I have zero reasons to listen to you. | |
| Committing Whataboutism | Just because you don’t like a particular group of people, acting like a petty piece of shit during the wrong time and place will make you look like a loser. Learn to refrain, it’s not that hard. | |
| Gaslighting | Don’t…just don’t. Manipulation/Abuse will not work here. | |
| Ignoring A Restriction (Ex. Mature rating/settings). | I make NSFW. OBVIOUSLY, it’s not for minors. I will only post NSFW art/stories on sites with M+ Ratings applied to them along with the disclaimer, “MINORS. DON'T. INTERACT.” Starting drama over this will only show that you can’t read or follow basic directions. | |
| Instigating, then acting like a victim | The only thing you're a victim of is your own stupidity. Nothing else! | |
| Making Sexual Comments About An Underage (Under 18) OC. | This is self-explanatory, DON’T BE A CREEP. Also, don't excuse the creep's behavior just because you're "friends". | |
| Trauma Dumping. | I am not your therapist. This is a form of guilt-tripping, and I just said manipulation won't work here. | |
| Using Phrases To Be Condescending. | Phrases like “Bestie”, “Sis”, “It’s the internet” and/or “That’s my opinion” before or after you make a rude remark will not be tolerated. And it is slightly narcissistic to blame something else for your terrible personality. Take accountability. |
When Critiquing
| Know the difference between Constructive and Destructive. | There are books, articles, videos, literally everything you need to know about these two terms. You do not have an excuse. |
| At least know the terms' meaning when you use them. (Ex. Caricatures, Color theory, Hyperrealism, etc.) | Just because you saw the word once, does not mean you automatically know the whole meaning of the word. You. Have. The. Internet. Research what the terms are! |
| Be respectful | Again, nobody on this planet is obligated to put up with you. |
| Avoid personal attacks, blaming, hostile, and/or insulting language | This is literally not how constructive criticism works. |
| Realize that the artist does not have to draw your preferred art style. | It makes no sense to go to a cartoon artist’s account and complain how there is no realism art on it. No, duh…it’s a cartoon account. Not everyone wants to draw realism. Not everyone wants to see realism and vice versa. Make it make sense. |
| Realize that the artist is under no obligation to take your advice. | This is mostly directed at rude individuals. You are not the only one on this planet, you are not the “end all, be all” for the artist. Control your urge in thinking you own another human being. |
Artists are not here for you to abuse. No one asked nor chose to be abused. It's their account. It's their mental health that they have a right to look after. They can choose to kick you out.
