  @VANTABlack2000@mastodon.gamedev.place I'd of course prefer nobody had to suffer, but yeah, it happens. Often there are things far beyond our control that cause us suffering. And it's totally fine (in fact, good!) to put that into the art you create. It's the idea that, "without suffering one cannot make art" that bothers me. You don't *have* to suffer to make great art. You don't have to starve, or struggle with depression, or be constantly unhappy with the things you make. The art itself should not make you unhappy. The art should be a way of communicating or dealing with the things you are feeling. I hope that makes some kind of sense? I think this is what you where already saying?
