that's still valid! this is general advice for those who are ready for it.

is it privilege? to some extent. but the granular level of how much is such a small point to be made and i worry that this kind of messaging dissuades low-resources individuals from trying when it's def within the reach of many, yknow?

i don't really buy into yes-but as useful advice for marginalized creatives because it's part of the work and all professional work towards a career takes a baseline of effort. the resources are absolutely there, as someone who spent very little time and $0 setting mine up.

mildly pushing back: many sites are free (neocities, for instance), many free templates exist, and my own website as an up-and-coming creative from a marginalized community largely sits there with minimum updates.
not saying it's NOT energy, but also: if you expect results SOME effort must be made

here are things i always suggest at my comic portfolio reviews:
✅ an actual website!
✅ distinct categories if you're multidisciplinary
✅ majority sequential pages
✅ easily found contact info
✅ only work that reflects what you want to be hired FOR

is it really about poc midweight calarts grads or is it a staunch refusal to look in the mirror and realize there never WAS anything special about being a white malcontent. like be for real here.

they have a whiteness problem and their mission to represent obscure or overlooked cartoonist masters is made entirely moot by their apparent refusal to think about what "counterculture" actually means in a white hegemonic society
