Sorry for the clickbait title. Have a blurry picture of a cat as an apology.
But as someone who does NSFW art for a living, talking to a client who reads and writes at the level of a 12 year old (and shows the same level of ignorance about the world outside their country) makes me really uncomfortable. Technically they're a legal adult, but I feel like I'm talking to a child.
I like to be friendly and pleasant with clients, but when the conversation feels like I'm explaining very basic concepts like how weather or seasons work in other countries, or how an 8 hour drive isn't shorter because we use kilometers instead of miles, it just feels wrong when paired with the adult artwork I'm also drawing for them.
Like, legally it's fine, but it does make me wonder if it is ok to draw NSFW artwork for someone who doesn't really feel like an adult intellectually.
Also #notallamericans, but I'm sure Americans on here know full well what I'm talking about, and have to deal with it a lot more frequently than I do.
EDIT: This is less supposed to be "Americans dumb" and more like "Some Americans seem to have the knowledge base of a child and that makes it hard to work with them in an adult context." I'm not just trying to start an America bashing thread here, I'm more venting about a very specific problem where I have to create adult art for adults who have the writing style and comprehension levels of children.
I once knew a grown-ass woman who earnestly believed that, because seasons worked differently in the southern hemisphere, they were also on a different calendar, as though the equator were some kind of international month line.
She was also extremely into WWE and got married fresh out of high school, so take from that what you will.
At least she knew there are different seasons
Eh I've heard dumber things, at least this idea sort of kind of logically makes sense considering time zones exist, if midnight means it's night then maybe December means it's winter. It's the kind of idea I'd expect 10 year old children just learning about the world have not grown ass adults tho.
