⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀being excessively modest ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀rant by @lzvely / @crepestry ⠀⠀ do not read if you do not support rants. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀——————— heyhey it's xiv! welcome back to another rant. today, we're focusing on the issue of the aesthetic community being excessively modest. (og https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/727513900/ ) • what's the current situation? - as stated by estella, some people are just way too "modest". they go up to the more popular scratchers and say things like "omg hey! i love your content/banner/icon/user/etc. its like 100x better than mine!" these sort of comments are aimed to guilt-trip the scratcher into replying and making the person feel better. maybe they'll say "om tysm! i really love your profile/content/banner/etc. too!" • causes of this. - clouttt. they want attention. they want to get noticed. they want clout. they want to feel important. (ok, ive no idea how to explain this without using an example, so moving on) • effects of this. - you get clout ig? sometimes. but it also creates a fame-hungry reputation for you, whether or not thats true. on the internet, people are often misread/misunderstood, and often, you get h8. • what we should do. - be modest and kind, but dont guilt-trip others. thats all. <3 • creeditoz + other - desc inspo: @estella-diaries - inspos: @sincerely-wynn & @rantaway - accounts: @crepestry & @lzvely ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀——————— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀thanks for reading ♡♡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀- xiv, september 9th, 2022
