Y'all are a bunch of petty little assholes. You all should be helping people trying to get into your craft rather than gatekeeping and just being plain rude and disrespectful.

It's people like you that are the reason there are so many scratchers. You make even the idea of trying to put together a portfolio and trying an apprenticeship seem like a nightmare. Just because you had a shit apprenticeship with a mentor that treated you like shit doesn't mean you should continue that shit.

If you all really think your so talented then you should be trying to get as many into the field as possible because you can't be the best if your not challenged by newcomers. You become stale.

Fuckin ban me, whatever, but honestly you should be fucking absolutely ashamed of your community. You're on the level of incels
