I am part of the second group. Wouldn't even call it anxiety, but just some sort of "light disgust" feeling. Ok I guess it's cool, but you can't do anything useful with it. You can't even draw something meaningful with it like the domain says.

I did something very useful with it. I removed the bugs, the snakes and the lions. You don't want these things in your vegetable garden, do you?

You can draw a garden, so drawing.garden seems very apt to me.

I totally understand the pseudo-autistic disgust/anger at inaccurate statements. I imagine a lot of us programmers are very sensitive to them in a discipline where small inaccuracies can have big consequences and I myself am easily irked by this type of thing.

However, sometimes the inaccuracy stems from poor communication (or deliberate lying) on behalf of the communicator, but sometimes it comes from gaps in our own understanding or perspective.

Is this just a silly, shallow little thing, or have you fundamentally missed some key point?

I don't have the answer, but I think that's one of the fun parts of engaging with anyone's random creative output like this. There's always a small chance it could teach us something we didn't know before.

E.g. it made me re-evaluate what "drawing" really is. Especially in a digital context.

Is it a question of fidelity? At what point does altering individual elements (whether pixels on a screen or icons in a grid) in order to represent a larger picture become "drawing". i.e. if the pictures were much smaller and closer together would it feel like drawing?

Is it a question of uniformity of media? i.e. would this feel more like drawing if instead of pictures it was just coloured blocks?

I could go on but you get the point

Yep if you have a good therapist they’ll help you learn and recognize to try and ignore that feeling in certain contexts like this! Of course it’s super nuanced person to person.
