Has it come back to this? (Absolutely no hate towards the OP btw)

First things first: No lore whatsoever as far as I can tell.

I don't hate op avatars at all, but if you're gonna make one, please make lore first. It's not that I hate op avatars, it's that seeing op avatars with no lore feels the same as finding an attention seeker. If there's no lore, there isn't much effort. And if there isn't much effort, then I don't feel like we can justify an op avatar being op.

The second thing that I want to point out is the amount of attention that this post got. Everytime I look on this subreddit, there's lore, high effort renders, and many, many things that have effort put into them that are worth the attention. And what do those posts have? Barely any upvotes, few comments, and overall nowhere near the attention that posts like these have.

What I'm saying is: Posts like these aren't high quality. They're low quality, I'd say. No special render for it, no unique and original gimick, just a normal image of an avatar with a simple and low effort post attatched to it. It's annoying. All the high quality posts get overshadowed by unoriginal and overall mediocre posts like this. I hate it. Sometimes, people spend hours making renders, weeks writing lore, only for a single post like this made in 10 seconds to get 10 times the amount of attention. It's frustrating. It's demotivating. It's one of the reasons I haven't been active so often anymore: All my work gets completely overshadowed.

Once again, OP of the image used as an example, I hold no hate to you at all. It's nothing about you specifically, this is an issue with the subreddit itself and it's not your fault.

Thank you all for attending to my shitty rant. I will return to being inactive now so I can focus on making lore. Bye chat!
