    Sandraorely, how incredibly rude, condescending and judgmental of you. Sounds like you’re victim blaming. I have a right to feel how I feel, and it’s not “selfish” or “entitled”. My feelings matter just as much as anyone else’s, and I am worth just as much as anyone else. I told the magician how I felt and he genuinely apologized, and it was resolved pretty well, by the way. I don’t need your “help”, thanks. This issue is thankfully over now. I’m sick of being told how I “should” or “shouldn’t” feel by other people. I am reclaiming my own right to feel and think for myself, regardless of the judgments of others. Oh, and thanks for the patronizing passive aggressive send-off at the end. That sure helped a ton. You must be very proud of yourself.

    Thanks Susannah. I’m also surprised no one said anything, because there were a lot of other women present AND it’s a very liberal, pro-LGBT, progressive, gender-conscious space usually. I can easily find him on social media, but I don’t know how it’s possible to leave any anonymous note on Facebook.

    As an artist myself, I’ve wondered for a long time if art really can make a difference, and whether or not I’m selfish for wanting to fulfill myself by making art when I could be out trying to save the world.

    I find it very interesting and confusing, however, that you assume that “art” is only viewed by affluent, well-educated people. Art is everywhere. Art is all over TV, music, the internet, and especially social media. Art, digital art, can go viral, which means that art is viewed by people from every country and every walk of life that you could ever imagine. Poor, rich, young, old, male, female, white, black and everything in-between. I wonder if your definition of “art” is only large oil paintings in a gallery in big cities, or outdoor installations in big cities.

    I think that when artists, including animators, musicians, etc, take to the internet to showcase their art, those emotions and messages present in their art will reach thousands, possibly millions of people and can most definitely be an important influence. That personally makes me feel better about being an artist who wants to help make the world a better place.
