By @__Shardstar__ I know this seems like an impossible project, but remember Matthew 19:26: "With man(kind) this is impossible, but with God, all things are POSSIBLE." I hate art stealing. I HATE IT. SO many people use AI for their art, steal something from someone else or off the internet... It is so annoying. I want to say: Why can't you stop stealing someone else's beautiful work and make your own? Stop being lazy for once and practice!! Nobody is good at first. It's okay if you even just credit them! I get it: Drawing is not for some people. But if you use someone else's art, CREDIT THEM. It's not okay that people do this. Another topic: Haters Haters are....Haters. They post mean comments on someone else's profile just because they can, or are having a bad day. Even if you are frustrated in real life, that doesn't mean you get to take it out on someone else. They have done nothing wrong. It's okay to vent if you really ARE having a tough time in life. That's alright. But I have seen so many comments about people crying because of haters. DON'T HATE on OTHER PEOPLE. They have feelings too. :'( Another topic: Speaking out for what is right or in your beliefs Scratch's 'bad word' system is WAY too sensitive. I'm sorry, but it is. I posted a signup for a WCRP once, and it muted me. See https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1140203464/ for more information. If you try to speak out in what you believe is right, if the ST doesn't like it, deleted. Your religion? Deleted. Your opinion? If the ST doesn't like it, DELETED. Or muted. I have opinions too, and I know a lot of you are not going to like this, but I do NOT support LGBTQ+. My opinion is that it makes no sense and is... unwise. Please do not hate on me for saying that; it is just my opinion. I will not be convinced otherwise. I got into a debate with someone about that topic, and they were NOT trying to respect me and my opinions. I was, although it was hard, trying to respect them and their beliefs? Guess what? Nah, I suppose you've already guessed. Not muted, but BLOCKED. For a whole WEEK. For speaking out for what I believe. I know this might get deleted, or I might get banned. If I do, just know that that proves me right. The ST will not let you share your beliefs if it is not their own. Thank you for reading this. Spread the word. PLEASE.
I added a little animation to the project. --------------------------------------------------------------- By @Patrona--Not by @__Shardstar__ | V I need to express something I've been holding back but I have to let it go. For a fair warning- This is going to be a full out rant. But please listen to what I have to say. Scratch... You are a DISASTER and a DISAPPOINTMENT This seemed like a wonderful place when I joined- That was only a month ago. Now it sucks. Art theft is rising, the report system is so unfair, this place... I almost hate it now. So I’m leaving. What’s the point anyway? If you try to defend yourself, you’re banned. Try to stand up for the right thing? Deleted. So I’m going to make this final stand. Those of you ready to go right behind me- I need to ask you a favor. Support me. Support every artist. Support everyone who feels the same. Exact. Way. Favorite this. Remix it. Try hard to let everyone know. It would comfort me greatly if I knew this message made it to the front page. If you are leaving anyway and are ready to take a stand; join me. Let’s right what we set on fire. Let’s fall apart together. Some people might think I’m being unfair and a little harsh. So what? I may only be thirteen. But I am PASSIONATE about art. About what I do. About my feelings. And here’s the truth. If you don’t like it- so be it. I’m actually crying right now. I can’t sleep. Something won’t let me until I get this done. It’s midnight and something is nudging me. I feel God Himself stirred this up within me. I don’t know why He did- but I am positive He has a plan. I’m going somewhere I can share. Teach others who are passionate about art how to be the best they can. I’m not sure where as of now. But I’ll be back to say where I move. Please. Spread the word. You don’t know how I really feel about this. You don’t know how much it really hurts. Even though I think my art is pretty bad compared to some other artists- I am passionate about art. It’s a part of me. I don’t want to lose that. Please help me with this movement if you wish to call it that. I’m asking- no. BEGGING you to share this. Please make Scratch the place I used to know. Don’t ruin the chance for others who choose to come along. I’m thirteen. If I have the guts and the passion to do this- You can do it too. Do hard things. In fact I have a quote to put here. “Don’t get a reputation for being against something, but being FOR something.” -Do Hard Things (I forgot who the book was made by.) I’m not against anything. Not ST. No. I’m for the movement. Let’s get our old Scratch back. Make studios. Favorite. Remix. Spread the word. -@Patrona- and @-Riverberry-
