Some victims cope with trauma by completely avoiding topics related to what they went through…. Others, cope by putting the topic in the open. Artwork, poetry, music- the possibilities are endless. Before you judge the topic of the art, look at the topic. Before you hate the artist for the art, examine the art. Perhaps the horrid topic, reflects a trauma they’ve yet to find the means of speaking about openly… Learn to see the stories, hidden inside the works.

This is, just something I've felt the need to get off my chest. People who decide they automatically hate a person based on the topic of their artwork, stories, or anything. Its a blind hate.
You don't know the person. You don't know if they've been through the terrible things your seeing in their work. You don't know if their drawing or writing these things because their suffering from something they've been through- and I'm not talking about me I do my best to be open with shit because I see nothing to gain from hiding it. I'm talking about friends I have- and have had- who get picked on for their work.
Don't blindly hate based off the topic. Learn to guess WHY they put the topic in the piece in the first place.

Maybe that person writing stories about dead babies lost a younger sibling...
Maybe that person drawing demons devouring women has terrible nightmares about such things...
Maybe someone writing about people being beaten has been a victim of such...

We do not KNOW why these people draw or write what they do. And when you do know- while so many do not- it tears at your heart wanting to defend these people without giving away the darkest secretes of their past. Sometimes I wish people didn't trust me because I wouldn't be told these things- but, knowing what I know only gives me a better reason to defend someone.

I'm not going to name anyone. If you think its someone, keep it to yourself because I will not confirm or deny. What I know, is NOT mine to tell. I'll take these secretes to the grave.

Just... Think before you hate people. Think before you bully.
