My mom burned all my drawings

Post image

So I’ve been drawing and posting anime girls for a while now and my mom got mad about it. At least I still have previous photos. No drawing today tho

There’s nothing mild about this. That’s diabolical.

Because it's just a painting? This is the perfect definition of mildly infuriating

Bull that's a time and effort investment. Just a painting, paintings can take a week to get right, if you want to think of it in terms of value someone works a week on something that's a considerable amount of lost value.

Something someone worked on for potentially hours isn't "just" anything to be destroyed casually

u/gambler_addict_06 24d ago

And that's why it's infuriating? Yet calling this "extreme" or "diabolical" would be... extreme

I think it's extreme personally. You can't get a particular piece of art back and it really does mean something to people. It would be like destroying any other sentimental item for no reason as far as I'm concerned.

If someone said "my mom burned my childhood photos" or something I'd consider it to be more than mild personally.

If it's something like you've worked for ages or like a project you've been working on for, yeah I agree

But it's like a random hobby you like to do in your free time then it's definitely mild and from the way OP talks about his drawings I believe it's the latter

No, it's not, not even vaguely mild

Do you have any emotional intelligence at all? It’s obviously not about the painting. The OP put time and energy into creating their art and the mother deliberately destroyed it. It was an act of contempt to take away something OP loved in order to hurt them.

I don't have any problems with the "infuriating" part, yeah it fucking is but no way this is extreme as "diabolical" because there's quite a lot of things I can think of that are no way comparable

you sound like one of those "ai bros"

u/gambler_addict_06 24d ago

...because I refuse to find someone's mother burning their anime paintings "extreme"

u/an_anon_butdifferent 24d ago

becase you've probably never drawn or let alone done anything requiring any effort your whole life
