TL;DR Do what you do because its fun. Everything is a challenge in its own way. Don’t quit what you enjoy because of some people on the internet. Also,
BE RESPECTFUL, It’s not that hard!

People in my Discord server were talking about this whole situation with SFM artists being put on blast because of the samey feel with the models and what not. However as I said in there, many unique things can be done with SFM. Even if you are not particularly a huge fan of it, that is no reason to shit on the work they do. If you are tired of seeing the samey models, offer something to create a change to it.
3D Work is challenging work no matter what part of it you are looking into. Modeling, detailing the model, texturing the model, rigging, lighting, animating, rendering, etc all are things that take a lot of time to learn and some may be better at a specific thing.
People have their preferences. People have their tastes. Do not shove your tastes and preferences down other people’s throats solely because you don’t like something. To the SFM artists, do not quit. Instead evolve and enchance your ability to something stronger especially if you have followers who enjoy your stuff. Do not let a some people deter you from something you enjoy.
All forms of art is difficult. All forms of art has a challenge. No matter what area you take; music, drawing, 3D, writing whatever; challenges exist.
One last note: I don’t think the artists you are claiming are superior need the attention you just threw at them because all it is is negative. You just made that artist a target for why SFM artists are leaving solely because you don’t like something. You could have easily promoted said artist and a much less attacking light but failed to do so.
Just be respectful. I do not understand how that has become such a foreign concept to people.
