He's also been making some neo-Nazi comments over in the politics threads - stuff about racial purity, mass deportations, anti-Israel comments etc - and admits to being a fascist.... So I'm not surprised about his attitude to women.I didn't say this at first, but the more this Chris guy goes on, the more he comes off as someone who is bitter about not having a music career and is trying to justify it to himself, while also pushing some political views/values. Killing two birds with one really weird and out-of-place stone.
Maybe that's inaccurate, but it just keeps reinforcing itself to me with every post.

Wow. You're right. I just saw for myself. What a chump.
For the record, I haven't admitted to supporting any political ideology. Sorry to post politics but wanted to set the record straight. Cheers.You're a self-admitted communist
The core of the thead is valid and interesting, @Jdiggity1. Just get yer banning boots on...Do I move this thread to Drama Zone now or...
Keep the politics and pettiness out of this thread please. It's a helpful discussion and there are good posts made by all.

Buddy, you are the first on the "fuck the biz and being a corporate slave" train in every case. You were in this thread too, but your perpetual cognitive dissonance causes you to forget that and spurge out the second that some other thing for you to oppose shows up. Desire Inspires likened library writing to a prison as well, but even he turned tail on this in a flash too.
It's all been had within the first three pages. The biggest pitfall here is that OP's financial expectations on niche genres are unrealistic and there's no shortage of "who cares if you can potentially waste your prime years chasing a dream statistically unlikely to happen!" cheerleaders. It's absolutely a relevant discussion to have with young people pursuing music careers.
All the people who fail and the 45-year-old, clinically-depressed, forever-alone lawyers are "just numbers", but this is coming from the same liberal-minded people who'd care deeply about "just numbers" if this were about legalizing drugs, climate change, vaccinations, and the like.
What are your suggestions for forum members or composers in general who are LGBT and don’t have the abilities to be in standard heterosexual relationships and bear children?
Any thoughts about taking risks for music @Rctec ?The same suggestion I have for everyone: Seriously assess the risks.
Try not to let music take precedence over other people in your life, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. For example, if you've got money on to burn and you're trying to decide whether to spend it to travel to GDC or Gamescom in hopes of networking to land a job, or you could with your family, friends, SO on a cruise — take the cruise.
I've seen people quit six-figure jobs and health benefits to "get into music" despite no experience in it. I've seen guys on GoFundMe beg for money to pay their bills because music isn't working out and they won't work a normal job. I've seen people who are obviously very talented in some other field refuse to even try doing that even in the meantime, because they're afraid it will cut into any music career chances. I've seen people who wanted kids, put them off for a music career that never came to be, only to suffer the heartbreak of numerous failed pregnancies and the like at a late age, and becoming the "old people" at their kids' Christmas concerts.
and every time, I've watched forum users encourage them to take these huge risks anyway.
So that's what my advice: Don't stop trying with music, but for the love of god, please, please, know that the risks in trying to make a living as a composer go way deeper than just money.
That's all.
Has it ever occurred to you that it's not one or the other? Your family is there to support you and understand you.I have a better, more specific question for Hans
If you could go back in time and had to choose between your family, or your music career, what you pick?

You're a self-admitted communist. Your opinions aren't even worth shit.
