Gregory's Serverfor added context in the OP: the "beasts" ZUN refers to are characters in the game he's writing these authors notes for. that's probably not clear without context lol

@AmyZenunim fwiw one place where money does come into it is I have a lot of respect for people who make art, film, whatever, on a shoestring budget - which means it's been done with minimal expenditure of the participants time too  nothing gets me fired up like the authors notes for a Touhou game that basically nobody reads lmfao @AmyZenunim Fun culture fact: in Japanese, "beasts" (kemono) is how you refer to furry characters specifically. I feel it is notable to point out for a game which cared to bring back Nazrin of all characters. |
nobody remembers how much money Shakespeare made. everyone remembers his creative works. that's the power of culture.
in our current society, money is often necessary for artists to continue making art, but it has not been and should not be the measure of its success.
artists should be compensated for their labour; copyright and "AI" actively harm artists by placing power into the hands of do-nothing capitalist landlords.
