sad_detective_manFountain is unfashionably based. I’ve used this to reassure my cousin who started painting for his PTSD and got told by a bunch of shitheads that he wasn’t a “Real Artist” when he sold some art.
This stuff is a litmus test for when you’re in a culture war with people trying to hide the fact they’re warring with you on every front they can
If he sold art he’s definitely an artist.
If he hadn’t sold any he would be too, but selling it is undsniable proof that someone else across him as an artist.
People were still assholes. I think they just wanted to hurt him because of their own internal problems and he appeared as an easy target
