Can we have an art school stories/feels thread?
Mine, first citique:
>qt gurl, extremely quiet and awkward
>walks in an out of room three times because she can't find a chair
>can tell she's had a bad background, teacher confirms
>thinks she must be a genius or pure shit
>she goes up the board, puts up her work
>its fucking horses
>"i like horses :3"
>worry about her, but she will pull through
>half shaved short crazy haircut girl
>puts her shit up
>as expected, feminist art
>"its a criticism of pinup art >:o "
>me: "don't you think you should make them look less like dolls then?"
>goes off for five minutes about some feminist bullshit to justify
this would have been fine except
>next day teacher and her are talking about critique
>bitch about how wrong I was for 20 minutes
>while I am directly beside them, 1 foot away (they don't mention my name)
another crit:
>some kid is somewhat openly homophobic
>gay kid draws nothing but gay porn and close ups of dicks and blowjobs the entire semester
>topkek
>hamplanet in senior studio
>uses makeup smudges as abstract painting
>some sort or commentary
>kid next to her is best figure painter in school
>hamplanet brings up the fact that they're all white women during critique
>her cronies blindly agree
>nobody can defend his work without hamplanets getting triggered
I actually like contemporary/abstract art but hers and all her cronies' were absolute shit.
>low down town local college art course
>no marketable skills taught
>nobody in the class sees anything wrong with this
>units are graded based on how far out of the box you thought rather than technical skills
>Do as little as possible in my work under the guise of "it expresses my life"
>refuse to tell anybody what I do in my life
>"yeah I just do nothing pretty much"
>I actually spend hours masturbating to furry porn and arguing about video games
>They all buy it and I pass with flying colours
You are all attending shit schools and will fail horribly at all of your goals unless you self study really fucking efficiently or can afford an atelier.
Stay strong and keep studying actual skills.
>>2417915
>actual skills
With the way the world is going, these pseudo-contemperary skills will be the true skills, anon. It saddens me to no end, but it's true. Make sure to buy your make up brushes tomorrow.

Art school is misery
>>2418306
I don't understand why they should be punished or expelled. School is getting money, and the life they are making for themselves will be enough of a punishment.
>>2418313
That's what we all figured. It's still irritating to know that that kind of behavior is looked over, and it's frustrating to know it's basically being rewarded while the rest of us actually tried to put in work and effort.

>everybody respects him
good times
>>2418306
You'd think having people like that would show a schools lack of education/responsibility. I know I wouldn't want to be taught at a school where teachers don't care about the quality of work. How am I supposed to improve if I can't trust my teacher?

>Everyone facepalms
>Teacher's like, "Lol. No, Kevin. That lightbulb is bad. You can fix it and turn it back in later."
>Teacher moves on before Kevin starts ranting and raving.

Hello Chris.
Also:
Probably 90% of my art school is extremely left wing democratic and anti-Christian. Definitley not anti-religion because I have seen more than a handful people get all excited about zen religion and horoschopes

>>2418306
in my school students automatically receive an F and repeated offenses get you dropped iirc
maybe she got those and had to repeat the courses
since she wont learn her lesson shell just stay there forever, in hell
Is it just me or are graphic designers a bunch of insecure little faggots? I hate all of them. Every one of them is just butthurt because they can't draw well enough to make it as an illustrator, or even worse; they're just afraid of risking it.
>>2419315
I'm a graphic design student and artist so can relate to those feels.
>>2419315
Also I have done more drawings studies in my graphic design studies than I ever did in visual art studies.
>>2419340
>>2419343
Than I can assume you're not one of them.
Literally, I've met 3 or 4 like this just from my drawing classes because they take them half of the time. Even my teacher is an insecure little bitch.
they're all rich yuppie self serving asspats
and they're all extremely cocky or extremely insecure, can't handle being shot down and are visibly uncomfortable when they're out of their element. I could probably diagnose half of them with narcissistic personality disorder
>>2418728
Man, I wish. I do, unfortunately, have at least one art class with him every semester. It never fails This time it's ceramics. All i can do is give you more stories of Kevin having a fit over a teacher who tried to help him get better.
>>2418786
Nah. She's super quiet and just tries to get her work done and leave. All i know is she used to be in pre-med and after taking a mandatory art class, she switched.

>>2419520
yep. I was an art major at a state college. that sounds about right.
>>2419281
This is essentially the two sides of art school. The feminists and the weebs.
>>2419520
I'm an art major at a state college and this is nothing like my experience. I actually learned quite a bit.
>>2419548
what state?
>>2419315
If I ended up as an art major, I would feel nothing but bitter resentment towards people who made sensible life choices as well.

Idk why she said that to me because everyone else likes my work. Especially the other graphics teacher. But I will get to that next time. This isn't the last of this woman. She gets worse.
Nothing makes me more angrier than person who comes from another major and decides to do art because they were too shitty to get through, idk, pre-vet or something. Then they get here and their only artistic background is an art class they had to take in high school.
So they can't draw, can't paint, and complain the entire time. And when you ask them, "Why can't you draw, like, at all?!" They say, "Oh, I don't need to draw I'm doing photography/graphics."
Okay, sure you don't need to make breath taking sketches in order to do those two but could they at least take the focus they say they want seriously? It's insulting. Some people chose this major on purpose and love what they do.
>>2419540
You people always talk about weebs but there wasn't a single one at my art school.
I had to hide my power level for four years because nobody took me seriously if they found out. Also I am a feminist, as I like to imagine most academic people are, but there was only one person in my year that made feminist art.
Mostly everyone made abstract, conceptually ironic pieces or did performance art. Only a small amount of us did representational work. We were the painting department.
Everyone wore normcore.

>someone drew their characters using nothing more than the ellipse tool

idk how some of these people pass their courses and move onto the next years with the work they produce. i'm extremely lazy and I would say mediocre, but compared to a lot of the garbage i see my peers produce, I feel like a goddamned art god.
>>2419858
The weeb population is extremely low at my school. There is probably one in each class and they hide it very well. Er. Some do. That is, until you flip to the wrong part of their sketchbooks. Then the truth is revealed!
>>2419577
Graphic design is an even more oversaturated industry though. And because there is no real skill involved, you can't really get ahead by working your ass off and being better than others either.
>>2419281
I'm in graphic design and surrounded with feminists and vegans.
>>2419864
Solution: Study graphic design AND art, have both options open at all times.
Or just screw design related careers and become a lawyer, it'll be easier to find a job.
>>2419864
Fuck off with real skill, theres a fucking difference between hard work and smart work. Sure there are plenty of shittyass gralhic designers who will end up doing some dtp shit work at printshop but being a good graphic desier takes more brain work thatn being a illustrator because in gd you cant get away with "muh style"
>>2419899
He's probably trying to refer to the sort of manual dexterity element / hand-eye coordination but it's still a retarded argument.
>>2419899
There's also a bunch of retards about 2-3 years ago when Graphic Design was a trend, they liked to call themselves "graphic designers" and did awful photoshops and shit like that.
Right now concept art is the new trendy shit, all wannabe beginners like to call themselves concept artists.

Wisconsin.
Just out of curiosity, Are there any good art schools to to go? Schools that have competent teachers and no raging feminazis?
>>2420140
I go to an arts focused college and while yknow, theres some cringy people around (once we had a guy focus one of his projects of 6-8 paintings of his Sonic OC.), in my classes I've never dealt with any of these types mentioned here and my teachers are all focused on getting you to understand fundimentals, old masters/art history, anatomy etc. I'm in a Fine Arts program but there's none of this contemporary trashcan art bullshit either.
>>2420140
It really depends what you want. Russia and China or an atelier if you want exact representational art. Cal Arts to do trendy but kind of ugly cartoons.
I'm >>2419858 and it really does set you up for working in the contemporary fine art art world, which has really moved on from representational work
>>2417940
Elaborate on this, what do you mean by pseudo-contemporary skills? Genuinely interested
>>2420388
Tampon as a teabag or result of an IKEA raid tier.
I can't think of anything specific but I have a dude in my environment concepts class that has painted over pics from art station the last two assignments. A few of us in the class finally went to the instructor about it and he said he "didn't care about it academically" and would just give a warning.

Don't get me wrong. I understand that we need to learn realism before we can bend and destort it into a cartoon or whatever. If it wasn't for my teachers pushing me towards a more fine art approach, I wouldn't be as good as I am now. But completely shunning it from an Art School isn't cool either. But I digress.

What I've gathered is that the 3D design people are gaymurrs who spout Reddit memes instead of actual words all the time, by far the most social of them all but skip class constantly,
decorators are silent autists who do photography and draw dresses in their sketchbooks,
and the illustrators are a mix of Tumblr trash and wannabe 'deep' pretentious shits.
I want to die.

I have class tomorrow. I'm 99.9% sure he will come during my class and try to glaze our pots for us or some shit. The majority of us agree he needs to go but since he does go in there and actually does his own work from time to time, we can't do anything about it.
>>2421442
if art majors like you weren't such pushover, weak-wristed little girls 'Jacob' would be a non-issue
>>2421444
He doesn't mess with me ever. I slready told him I don't need his help. I guess I'm on his shit list because he puts his nose up in their air when I see him in the hall way.
But there are a lot of little girls in our class who hate ceramics and are only taking it because its mandatory, and will let him do the entire project for them if wants to. That's why he keeps coming back.

>>2421458
if you aren't good enough to attend with a scholarship based on your application portfolio do not go, keep practicing on your own until you have the necessary fundamentals and reapply once your portfolio is good enough
going to art school is a waste of money, going to art school to teach you how to shade a sphere is just decadent
>>2421434
Ugh. Don't post that in /co/.
They're all so convinced that you have to go to Calarts to do anything in animation.
>>2421458
Honestly, buddy, don't even bother going to art school-- and if you must, just go for a foundation year. It was a terrible financial decision for me, personally, and I dropped out. I kept developing my art over the years and now I'm working in my chosen industry while a good chunk of the people I went to school with are going to graduate to nothing (not me being cheeky, just facts).

Let them be. Calarts/Ringling/Art Centre are way too overrated and expensive. All you'll get from it is debt. I know girl who spent at least 50k on her art school, she graduated and draw shitty furry that's on the same level of Chris Chan.
>Tfw my school was chill and barely had any extreme tumblrinas.
My only complaint are bs professors who meddle with people's relationship with others. One bitch literally pitted her fave students with other students like we're a fucking cocks in a cockfight.
Glad to say that the bitch is no longer employed in that school and is trying to get some crumbs with dumbass artists who want to learn how to draw "anime".
>>2421627
>pitted students against each other
Like she had draw off contests?
That sounds pretty fun actually. If I had a teacher make the class a competition I totally would have cared more.
>apply
>don't get in
gave up
>>2421669
That kind of competition really fucks with you later on, though. You always feel like shit unless you're constantly publishing, constantly drawing, constantly getting work. It's no good.
>>2421821
Maybe if you suck.
Competitions give you the drive to git gud, and being able to physically compare yourself to your peers allows you to see where you stand in relation to others of similar experience.

There was a graduate student at my old school who would draw in gunpowder or something then set it on fire. It wasn't anything amazing but was still pretty cool I guess.
Better than what the other people were doing anyways.
>>2421839
Sounds like some shit Otto Piene would do
>>2418313
They should be expelled because it tarnishes the name of the school. I wouldn't want that shit to get out and have people know that the school i went to doesn't care if their students cheat. Employers could be hesitant when hiring if they knew the background you came from.
I guess it only matters if it's a good school though.

>>2419858
>Also I am a feminist, as I like to imagine most academic people are
>>2421973
not them but I'd imagine most well educated people do go for equality. There's a difference between feminism and "feminism", women and men still aren't equal in large parts of the world, and even in the first world countries there's a notable difference between the sexes spanning in both directions.
Most well educated people realize that equality is beneficial and better for everyone.

Men and women are physically, chemically and psychologically distinct from one another. Two things that are not identical are unequal by definition. Stop being a fucking mangina.
>>2421980
Equality is fine yeah. Feminism is not equality though, and so anyone who claims to be a feminist I avoid any contact with.

there are hormonal differences, but their mental capabilities at a high level are not distinct enough to discriminate against.

>feminism is not equal
that would be the "feminism" I referred to. As I said, even in todays world that is large inequality of gender, usually aimed at women, just because you're used to being mostly equal in America doesn't mean the rest of the world is. If you can't comprehend that then you're a completely ignorant dumbass.

I'm not in America, nor am I American. And I never said there wasn't inequality based on gender in the world today, we've not even discussed that, but sure, by all means, call me an ignorant dumbass because you imagined me disagreeing with a point you just made in your head.

Why?
>>2422113
It's pretty common. You can't really give crit when the artist clearly doesn't care or if they are obviously too much of a beginner that the only crit you could give is "keep practicing". It's easyer to give feedback to stuff that can be fixed with a few pointers.
>>2422132
that makes a lot more sense now
>>2421438
Honestly, if you think everyone in class is an asshole and you can't find even a single classmate to feel classmate-y with, you're probably the asshole.
You are right that you don't have to make friends just because you're in that class. But if you are just going to sit and bitch about how everyone else is laughable, it shows that you have poor people skills.
Didn't happen in my class, but I heard from a friend that in her class this kid shows up with a foam mannequin head painted terribly like some sort of heatmap. The homework assignment had been to focus on "Process"
Eventually the kid admits that he painted the head by dipping his balls in paint and dragging it on the head. The heatmap represents where he most wants to place his balls on someones face.
Man. Art school.
Any MICA peeps in here?
>>2422113
I know someone this happened to! They moved to Estonia for an art school after being offered a scholarship on an art course, which turned out to be shit anyway but halfway through the first term the school said the scholarship fallen through and they had to pay some insane amount. Fled the country that same week.
It's been years but they still get worried about it.

art institute, enough said really
it was a bad call on my part cause i got suckered into it by the people who would come by in high school and advertise the school
the dorms were shit and they ad vertised it as you being allowed to paint in the dorms since it was an old parking garage remolded into rooms. also there was tons of paint dried into the floors but when i got there there was a rule that you werent allowed to paint anymore for some st upid fuck reason. ontop of that they were mad expensive but at the time i was going off GI bill money so i could manage for a while but it was still like 800 a month. what tipped me was them suddenly changing just my price for living in the dorm to 2000 a month out of nowhere. so i said fuck that and left.
but before that there were still odd charges here and there that made no sense like an extra 50 a month or so that i had to go into the financial office and pay personally or they got on my ass hardcore about it. PLUS there were about 5 people working in the financial office who all knew how to do the same job but they put this lady who came from russia and barely understood basic english so paying was a hassle
the other 4 fucks would sit at t heir cubicles about 4 feet away and refuse to help. why the fuck did they have Olga working the financial payments? probably so they could blame it on her for fucking up if they ever got caught.
but yeah the art institute went to court recently for false charging students around the united states around 6 billion or so but i havent heard of what came of the trial at all.

It's always funny seeing people worship certain art schools, thinking the only way to git gud is via being taught a specific way.

One of my teachers at ringling college was new. He was about 35 years old, tall, ripped, and extremely handsome. Every time I saw him he was always with a female student.

Out of state tuition is almost $42,000. At that price you might as well go to Calarts, senpai. Just make sure you don't end up in the non-representational wing

Community Colleges in larger city centers with connections to industry/art schools are your best bet.

not really a story but in my first year we had a model a few times who had a leaky dick. for the longer poses it would just be leaking like a dripping tap.
He was a good model otherwise tho

>During the break, smoking a joint outside, friend comes up to me and tells me the 7/10 went to the bathroom for a minute during class and came back with no underwear and since she was sitting on one of these drawing chair/tables and wearing skirt he could see her cunt during the whole thing, and so did the model (probably trying to hold his boner)

I haven't met any myself yet but I expect one girl to turn into a quiet one. My school when you sign up for info and take a tour flat out tell you they have no focus in anime in any of their classes so I hope that deters a lot of them, at least the ones who don't want to do fundamental drawing and just want to coast through to their degree.
My final semester before starting my architectures masters:
>Sonic Art class, seems cool why not take it?
>The professor is new and from a lesser known university in the the same area known for it's questionable teaching methods.
>take it anyways.
>first few classes are about hearing before speaking, talk about the idea of aesthetics in sound art.
>everything is "ok" for the first month.
>Once we all get comfortable with the people around us professor begins to tells us that we're all going to scout the area around the university (filled with poverty) for material for sound.
>Professor begins, or tries to, manipulate his students into making "artistic speakers" for a performance but later informs us that we're going to sell them in some kind of weird ponzi scheme he's been running.
>tells us to that we''re going to become part of a movement where we are going to sell aesthetic places to stores and "places"
>drop out of class the week after.

Oh god that drawing is really bad. It's the equivalent to a stale bisquik pancake.
I go to a uni that has a pretty solid art program, particularly in graphic design. Weebs are everywhere in any art class involving GD and animation, but all traditional drawing and painting classes have a good mix of different kinds of people, and the art teachers in general are chill as fuck and give you great advice while letting you develop your own style.

One girl in my class wore a dress with a very lose top,she was an 8/10 Latina and was always friendly to me,that one day her nipples kept saying hi and she wouldn't stop talking to me even though it was obvious I was staring straight at her tits coming out of her dress.
The class ends and I realize I didn't work at all because I was too distracted by her tits

They seemed nice but it was so weird to me that nobody talked about how unfair and weird it was for a grown person to be living in our dorms and dating other students at like 27.
>>2434062
>unfair
27 isn't too old to be dating a college student, and him being better than you because he's more experienced isn't unfair either.
If he went back to school at his age having already had industry jobs he presumably gives enough of a shit about his craft to make the time and money investment to learn more.

I dont know why because I was afraid of men and didn't like the actual attention I was just in a "fuck it I'm going to act on impulse its art school" and I was adderall thin

No that part was cool, and they were kinda helpful It was more that all the critiques revolved around their work and how amazing it was and didn't really leave a lot of time per session for the rest of us newbies.

> Marks roll out, I get 65%.
> "Hey anon, I got a 75%!"
> Guy yells at teacher cuz best friend somehow got a higher mark than him.
He attended less than half the classes and somehow managed to maintain the same mark as me. About 1/3rd of the class was failing or borderline to fail.
>>2426928
that is actualy nice
>>2434681
Lol I did this
Art school was easy
I did animation for a year
First lesson have a feminist teacher shes talking about womens contributions
one of students who's like 50 asks "I'd be more bothered about what they made rather than who made it"
She proceeds to go on a hour long brutal rant, which the guy hardly says anything she goes so off the rails she brings up Queen Elisabeth not marrying to maintain power.
Everyone in class thinks this guy is a sexist when he asked a legit question.
>>2422087
Now this is how you use art to get laid. Good on you for making those girls feel good about themselves. I have no problem with this, man, you keep doing you.
>>2422484
Talk to your advisorsand tell them you feel ill-prepared to graduate and stay on an extra year.
>>2422169
yoo I'm from MICA and my friend told me about some illustration major who had an assignment about "maps".
She made this drawing of a silhouette of her body that was done up like a heat map as well, but the "hot" parts of the map were kiss marks which corresponded where she had been kissed in the past week by her boyfriend, and there were a ton around her vagina.
Add to the fact that this couple is an extremely unattractive one, and it gets all the more cringeworthy.
The guy in your story was probably this chicks boyfriend, come to think of it.
>tfw midway through engineering major
>been drawing for nearly 7 years as pure hobby
>have time after finishing an assignment during a microcontroller class
>thumbnail sketch in nearly an hour
>everyday wonder if I should just jump off and move into art
I swear I saw a visually similar pic around somewhere, but can't find it.
Stick to engineering and do drawing on the side. That would be my dream but I'm too dumb to be an engineer

Why the fuck should anyone know who Frank Frazetta is at art school?
>>2420043
What the fuck did you expect from gymnasie students who wants to work in games?
There are no good artists in that age.
>>2439142
Not to mention 100% HIV positive. Go be a sodomite somewhere else.
>>2422027
fuck equality, no one is equal

aren't they all though?

incredible

>one of the girls really liked my drawings and told me a bunch of times how unfair the prof was with critiquing my art
You realize she probably liked you right.
>>2435492
Wtf is that?
You've been doing this for 7 years?
>>2421438

>>2422125
Post a critique for the lulz
>>2422027
Feminism is a branch of the movement for equality that focuses on the issues specifically brought on by institutionalized sexism. It is equality, people who don't practice it as such are wrong.
>>2422087
Nice, dude!
>>2442171
I agree, we need to start teaching women that make up, frivolous styles of clothes, and anything that reveals too much skin perpetuates this institutionalized sexism and is part of patriarchy.
>>2442182
hot.
>>2442182
And you wonder why women are driven to being man-hating maniacs... You dismiss even those who respect you and want nothing but respect in return. Take a chill pill.
>>2442171
>people who don't practice it as such are wrong
No true Scotsman.
>>2442190
Ah yes, who wouldn't respect such bravery look at her how brave and empowering so progressive! Those who think otherwise are all sexist filled with misogyny and hate for women.
>>2442171
We don't have a word for not being a racist. It's just being a normal non-asshole. No need for a bullshit title for not being sexist. No need for the word feminist. No reason to apply unnecessary labels to ones self. Anyone who does is to be treated with suspicion.
>>2442198
You make a good point.
>First day
>Meet people
>Shitton of "I've drawn since I was a kid" peepz
>One guy talks really fast and weird
>Says he started drawing half a year ago
>Half a year ago
>He mentions he likes drawing animal heads mostly and human bodies
>Blatant furry detected
>So a class filled with weaboos, muh-styles, feminists and one blatant furry
>Expect the worst
>This shit goes on
>Trying to mind my own business and improve, talk it up with a few
>Almost everyone ignoring critique from teacher
>The class naturally devolves into groups than constantly jerk eachother off
>Furry dude seems to click with the weaboos
>I hang out with muh-styles mostly, least autistic people I could find
>Every single break this furry kid is drawing. Either alone or surrounded by weaboos
>One time at like 23:00 I went home late from a project, and the fag is scribbling in his sketchbook
>walk over
>It's mediocre shirtless furriers
>Say It's nice and I go home
>Like a month passes
>At critique it seems literally only me and furry kid is improving
>Decide to know this guy better
>Talk with him after class
Forgot to mention, he always had this giant dufflebag with him
>I say I noticed he improved, he says he noticed the same with me
>I ask him how he practices
>Says nothing, opens his bag
>FUCKING FILLED TO THE BRIM IN SKETCHBOOKS
>THIS AUTIST CARRIES COUNTLESS FILLED SKETCHBOOKS EVERY DAY TO SCHOOL
>WHAT
>Ask him if I can browse through it all
>He get's a bit nervous, but I say I know what a furry is
>Fucking countless pages of huge papers filled with gestures, form studies, animal studies, anatomy studies, and drawn furry porn
>This guy is probably drawing like 80+ hours a week
>We talk a bit about resources, turns out he likes villpu, hampton etc.
Fast forward 1 semester
>Everyone stagnated
>I improved slightly but it slowed down
>Furry guy has gotten insanely good at drawing sexy animal people
After some time he got into environment designs and comics too. He dropped out later though.
>>2442224
Furry guy sounds like a total bro. 8/10 would hang out with.
>>2442224
I'm literally the same as the furry guy except I draw like 5 hours a week and haven't improved much
I don't know whether I would listen to critiques or not, my art school didn't have them
>>2419263
>black kid in my class is obnoxious as fuck, from the Navy, really cocky and annoying
He actually seems pretty cool for a black guy. Do you visit reddit or plan to vote for an old communist who wears diapers in the near future?
>Go back in time to junior high
>Used to draw furries but didn't know what they were
>find a furry community one day
>"Finally people like me!"
>Post art
>"Anon, your furries aren't furry enough. KYS!"
>Stop drawing furries and make only people
>go from anime to realism
>fastforward to present
>in college for art
>We need sketches for a project
>Teacher hates anime and cartoons
>I draw a couple of portraits, a space scene, and a furry (for old times sake)
>Teacher turns through my sketch book and likes most of my sketches
>Pauses on furry page
>"Anon...what is this?"
>"oh, just a guy with a dog head, no big deal"
>"....I want you to do this for your next project.."
"Uhh. Okay?"
>I do the project and get an A.
>Everyone in class compliments me on my furry shit during critique.
>wtf.jpg
>Next project
>I draw some sketches and hand them in to my teacher
>"Hey, Anon, these are great... but can you put a dog head on this one too? Oh, or maybe a giraffe!"
>He wants this to be my thing and maybe even do my senior show on furries.
>I'M DYING!
>End up making furries the entire semester
>He loves them but can bring myself to do this for my senior show
>I don't want to be known as THAT guy
>>2442593
slowly decrease the skill on your furries and increase the skill on your realism to force them.
>>2434066
>I dont know why I acted irrationally
it's called being a woman
>>2442593
So these are what furries are actually like? No wonder the furry market is so fucking huge...
>>2427967
Power level usually means being a secret weeb, not being git gud
>>2442389
>I'm literally the same as the furry guy except I lack all of his positive traits
pick your shit up dude
>>2421438
hahaa I was in the same situation, but everyone were normies so none of our interests matched. You will get used to the loneliness if you change your mindset. Then you might even be happy, since you have more time to draw.
>>2442593
What if your prof is a furry but doesn't know it?
>>2442171
The definition is fine. But concept and reality differs alot. If i say i am a vegetarian but then eat meat, can i still be named vegetarian?. If i say i am a feminist but then i actively hate men, can i be called a feminist?. I know every feminist isnt like this but the ones who do are the ones that "speak the loudest", and, as in any group, the one who speaks th loudest is the one we listen to.
>Sorry if my inglish sucks.
>>2444365
>The definition is fine.
But it's not.
>>2421954
This is me.
>>2422226
These "educated" people are really just decadent degenerates miseducated by communist Jews.
