Frustrated with this trend. (Mini Rant)

Posted 8 months, 18 days ago by Magic

I hate seeing the same few people over and over stating that they're "selling all of their characters and leaving the fandom" but they never really leave.

I'm not sure why it frustrates me so much but it does, and it's not that I want anyone to leave, it's just that saying it over and over again only to stay, only to have characters you're supposedly getting rid of not actually up for sale feels dramatic, and like you're grabbing for attention over and over and over again and it feels gross.

The first time or two I'm sitting here like "oh no I'm so sorry, is there anything I can do to help" but after the 3rd time I become synnical about it as much as I hate that about myself.

Seeing others comment feeling bad for these people "leaving the fandom" and offering kind words because they don't realize this happens every couple weeks just makes it more annoying to me because you're deceiving people into giving kind words or trying to make you stay when in reality you have no intention of actually leaving.

I just don't like the attention seeking I guess.

Honestly I'm glad that I'm not the only one who finds it frustrating, makes me feel a bit less like a shitty person.

I agree with you. I’ve seen this happening so much lately on repeat I’ve started to unwatch/unfollow people. 

Yeah, I may need to do the same, which is disappointing. I just don't understand why people keep doing it

I mean hell what really pisses me off in those situations is they say they are selling characters for something important and ofc leaving the fandom but then they continue to buy art of the character. I’ve seen it quite a bit lately.

Yes! I have seen it so much and I'm completely baffled by it! I understand if they have art coming in that was in progress before but I have seen people straight up making orders for art after saying they're leaving
