>>62089 LONG RANT
I remember a long time ago hellresident was talking about seeing what the market looked like in terms of what people want to see, who is asking for it, what they're asking for, etc. It's obvious that it's rather lopsided to men liking this art of body inflation and that they want to see women inflated. They rarely want to see men, There are not many women and even then they rarely want to see men, they want to see women and imagine they are woman being inflated, if I remember correctly. And they were kinda hinting at having a fan base that has just lost their fucking minds.
I can easily imagine in this toxic AF community that when you get a status of being capable with your art, even if at a minor level - people bug the fuck out of you and want content you don't want to create. And then act like they are owed from you.
I personally could have spent the last 2-3 years focusing on how to make content for this community and decided against doing so. I've spent not hours of time, but weeks of time learning multiple video editing programs along with photo editing programs and I don't make money from the work I do. All of it is all out of my own interest to help a non-profit (I have decent pension I live off of from a work accident) have content.
But even doing minor edits here and there has resulted in some of the pushiest fucking people imaginable, and a bunch of clingy fucking dork losers that can't catch a hint bugging the shit out of me to do stuff I want nothing to do with and one would think it's painfully obvious. I like seeing women inflated like balloons and the notion of them being helpless and pleasured by the inflation.
No, I don't want to discuss character that like to eat a bucket of food to get gas and gas up the room to intentionally smell like shit. No, I don't want to morph images to make the character fart and spray shit everywhere once over pressurized. I don't want to roleplay that either. It's okay if that is your kink. It is not my kink.
Just because I bothered to do a few morphs doesn't mean I will morph every fucking picture you throw my way (most aren't even fucking usable because the person they want to see inflated basically has half their god damn face missing in the photo as they are looking elsewhere). Just because I did a roleplay with you doesn't mean I owe you more. Just because I did a commission doesn't mean I owe you more commissions.
I'm not a fan of where some of this art is going in the terms of how it is paid for, because some take the money and then the quality goes to shit. Luckily a few have kept producing top notch stuff, hellresident still makes quality art. But it absolutely does not help that the fans act like assholes that need therapy not for their kink, but because they treat other humans like insubordinate animals.
The same goes for the lunatic artists that do the exact same shit towards others.
