Interesting he asks for the privacy he just denied for millions of American women. Screw him.

Oh now Cruz believes in health-related privacy.

Not everywhere is the USA.

To be more specific. We want him to lose the daughter, but not because she dies. If she needs to live her best life, and disown him, then so be it. But not to her harm, only his. 

This poor child.

Privacy!!??  In Texas?  For a female!!?  What a quaint notion.  She should probably be investigated immediately to make sure she wasn’t trying to give herself an abortion.  Cruz supported the Dobbs decision.  He should KNOW that females don’t deserve anything like privacy. 

Outrageously undercutting your peers severely lowers the going rate for the kind of work you all collectively do.

I feel for the daughter in many many ways. I also feel for all the people additionally injured by Senator Cruz and his ilk when they ignore similar requests for privacy.

$3k for an illustration isn’t really lowballing

Some more context - DebJJLee is a popular, established artist. I’m a fan of their work, and even without knowing that Epic is a billion dollar corporation, I’d say $3000 is low for an artist of their caliber. When you add that in along with Epic’s history of not paying for the dances they’ve clearly ripped off (and…

The difference between that freelance artist and the “normal job”, however, is that all the time spent on that project can’t be spent on other projects.

Lot of people both-sidesing an issue between an independent artist and a deeply unethical multi-billion dollar game company, it’s weird

“Too many people don’t understand a lot of things, unfortunately.”

I put it in quotations because I know it is loaded terminology. A lot of people don’t consider art as a “real” job, because a lot of people don’t think about the things you mentioned.

Too many people don’t understand a lot of things, unfortunately. 

That person who works for weeks to make the same amount of money usually isn’t designing an asset or a product for a company who can then turn around and make millions of dollars off of that asset or product.

“ That’s more than I make in a month working 40+ hours a week doing a “real” job.”

Agreed. The artist says “weeks of work”, but that is exactly what the average person has to do for that same money.

What exactly do you mean by a “real” job? Are you trying to say that your job is somehow more real than hers or did you put the quotations because you understand that that’s not really the correct contextual word? “Traditional” job might be apt, but illustrator is a very real job, it takes time, effort, mental…

The rich are rich by exploiting those poorer than them. It’s a universal truth.

“The rich are continuing to be among the cheapest.”

There’s a lesson in there.
