So I follow on Twitter this artist that goes by the handle of Manga Materials. She's Japanese and has been selling some great reference guides and tips for people interested in learning to draw or improve their skill.
Here are some examples of her work
As a Japanese, she needs to hire translators to offer her guides to overseas fans, all of this is nice and dandy, right? Well, just yesterday she uploaded the following guides
Pretty informative, right? Well, some "artists" found the use of "Beginner" offensive and they raised a stink on Manga Materials' twitter. The whole thing got so bad that her translator actually tweeted an apology over his use of the word!
Luckily both received overwhelming support but the damage is already done. She has taken down the tweet with the tutorial to avoid getting more hate and has decided to make her Twitter private and take a break for a while.
For my part I'm just flabbergasted and upset at the whole thing. How can people be so bad at take criticism that the mere word "beginner" is offensive? What the fuck is wrong with the world?
Anyways, I just needed to get this out of my chest.
If anyone is interested on supporting her, these are her social media accounts
