It's almost like burning bridges meant stranding yourself into unemployment, Raye sweaty.

Cope, seethe, dilate.

This, and also it's a result of telling kids they all should fulfill their dreams. Just bc you like to draw doesn't mean you need to be an animator or illustrator. This person could have got an actual paying job while also enjoying art as a hobby.

Lack of critical honesty in telling the kids their drawings aren't that good to they're such utter shit, that their cave wall drawing ancestors are fucking ashamed to be related to them.

Nah, I think it's just poisoning your kid's minds with all that stupid ass "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" horseshit. The point of work, of employment, is to be able to survive and support yourself and your family, not to have fun. That's what hobbies are for. Too many kids grow up thinking that hobbies should also be careers and then we get stuck with all these useless mouths like Raye and her ilk.
 
Those people never mentioned the other warning half. Paraphrasing, don't make your hobby or what you like a job or career cause you will eventually hate it.

I think it's the midwits in reality. We're looking at people who were kinda decent at whatever hobbies they had growing up, so their parents, teachers, and friends all told them they should go to college and make a career out of it. However, creative fields are extremely bloated with regard to incoming talent, and so only the best/nepohires can stay in the industry. You can also fall out of the field at any time if you fail to keep up with the trends or become unpopular. Ultimately, this results in a lot of people with no useful skills outside of some niche creative profession who are now faced with the reality that the show's over and it's time to get a real job.

Do you think your average theater kid can stomach a real job?
 
Her art really does look like she traces off of those old Scholastic "How To Draw Manga" books from the aughts. Specifically this one. 500-1895522642.jpg

I saw these stickers, and she has some sense of posing and weight but her art is rather stiff. She's the kind of artist that wants to make her art pretty without studying the influences of her influences. It's been over three years since it ended and she hasn't progressed much at all.

She even made a cope comic talking about HGS. Pictures work if you click on them.

The issue with her art is that lacks any form of stylistic flair, it's very color by numbers type stuff. Sure she has the basics of form and pose down but that's all she has: basics. And for what it's worth I do genuinely feel bad for her, it sucks to ruthlessly pursue an autistic passion project like this and then have everyone tell you what a retarded idea it is after you've put in an inordinate amount of effort and made a complete idiot out of yourself, but at the same time I can't feel too bad for her given what a conceited cunt she is.

She really would have greatly benefited from three things:

1) Someone willing to give her a kick in the ass from an early age. She strikes me as the type who never had elders or siblings in her life willing to challenge her and so she was just brought up never knowing failure or how to improve yourself and become both resilient and flexible.

2) More experience. She clearly lacked a mentor and got into a position of near unchallenged creative control on the HGS project because of either sheer blind luck or nepotism. Furthermore more experience would have allowed her to potentially refine her own writing and artistic chops, at least in theory.

3) A tard wrangler. Every great creative needs one. (Not to imply that Raye is in any way a great creative but she still needs one) Someone to gently, yet firmly, say "No, how about we do that this way instead?"

EDIT TO ADD: I've met her type before. I've seen this happen to a lot of would be creatives who aren't actually good enough to hack it but have never been told that until after they're well into adulthood. Raye is your typical pampered only child who never faced failure as a child and was either never challenged or mommy and daddy mollycoddled her and fixed her fuckups for her. This is the first time she's ever faced true failure in her life and it's caused her to death spiral because she never had those necessary and healthy experiences of childhood failure that would force her to grow and develop tools and mindset necessary to get her through this. Combine this with the fact that she has no real friends or social life and is also (presumably) estranged from her family at this point and a meltdown like this was inevitable as far back as five years ago when the project was first greenlit.

Lmao she still draws herself looking like a girl. :story: This also suggests she likely saw this thread and has since put us on ignore.

Y'know what would help her get some good graces from her detractors? Not whining about it, for one thing, but also doing an AMA and allowing both positive and negative criticisms as people ask questions. Just clear some things up and mayhaps people will start easing off of you.

Also this is how much fanfiction there is out there:

That's real tiny. She definitely has read all of these since she's practically a NEET at this point and is also such a narcissist that she's willing to read fanfiction to steal ideas from.

In other words Raye has no dirt on her.
 
What’s also weird is that there’s very clearly a “in-group” of people who created cartoons in this generation. And it’s clear Raye wanted to be in that group, and they seem to have completely ignored her and her show, probably because it was on crunchy roll and literally nobody liked it.

She didn’t even have enough to get people rubbing shoulders with her. Dana Terrace who made Owl House, a similar show that’s was just as bad if not worse in every aspect, is now doing a show for the digital circus people, solely because her garbage was on Disney. Raye is near homeless.

Of course, Dana is married to Alex Hirsch, which is truly the only reason she has a career at all. The Lauren Faust method of animation industry relevance. Marry someone infinitely more successful than you in every single way and get offered show deals to try and get your husband on board(bronies really hate it when you point out Lauren is a career failure who only has anything because of Craig.)

What’s weird is that she’s a first generation American born to Cuban immigrants. You’d think they would have tried extra hard to teach her the merits of hard work seeing as they fled Castro

Kinda OT, but this popped up on my TL

The OT (Bunhearts) is also Emmy nominated and the original post said she's been 2 years without a job as a storyboard. It's not just this Raye girl, it's the whole industry and a super inflation of this jobs.
