    That doesn't imply creativity, Chagen.

    Hell, if anything, it implies a lack of creativity if you can't figure out how to describe the work... >.>

    You can change. You can.
    ^ Not to mention arrogant.

    And most importantly, it is anecdotical evidence. The worst kind of evidence as it is biased.

    -sees title-

    -sees opening post-

    -doesn't even bother to skim-

    If anything, being Japanese would make being "creative" pointless, given how common it is.

    Well unless you're a harem anime/manga writer.

    Actually, I'd say being creative then would still be pointless. Since, evidently, people actually want generic harem manga/anime, so that's what it'd make sense for you to write anyway.

    Oh, so you go on an immature, swear-filled tirade against me for making a joke, but not the people criticizing you? I am disappoint. >:[

    I'm generally very hard to offend.

    But that OP was one of the most genuinely offensive things I've ever read.
  • AHRAHR
    You don't need creativity to write a good story. 

    You need good story telling abilities. 

    Which sounds rather redundant and obvious, but there is some truth to it.

    Screw you I want more crossdressing pretty boy superbutlers full of actually-seems-like-he-deserves-a-haremness.

    Are you actually really honestly offended Forzare?

    Well, I know well enough that not everyone has the strength to commit suicide.

    BUT.... you don't have to think of yourself as american if it is that much of an issue.  Heck, it is only around americans that I bother to think of myself as british... and I really do hate the people in this country...
    You are just you and no more, if you don't want to be more.  Fuck all the categories folks will try to slot you into. That shit doesn't matter. They're just trying to simplify their own lives. Means nothing outside their respective microcosms.

    Can't agree more with this.

    Also, he's just a troll. A rare one at that, based on the fact that he actually believes what he spouts.

    Quick someone get AHR to shoot Chagen to death with criticism bullets right now
  • BobBob
    Except I wasn't actually insulting you or your works. If you'd like for me to rectify that, by all means, keep bitching. I'd be positively delighted to oblige.

    I'm not him, but I must say, I am offended. Not insuted, but I'm just...wow, there's so much stupidity in one place it is nothing but ridiculous.

    Incidentally.... it'd be cool if everyone could (and would) just all mass-suicide... all across the globe at once. All human life simultaneously reuniting with the cosmos. Would be so grand! ^_^

    But if it was just america, I'd still totally want to see it happen.
  • BobBob
    As an American, I can't say I'm offended. I'm put off, but not offended.

    I mean I'll be one of the first to jump on the 'haha look at the silly yanks' bandwagon however that is banter.

    This is just a bit silly.
  • AHRAHR
    I'm offended as a writer. 
  • SotiCotoSotiCoto
    RE-ANIMATOR
    Maybe... but then most things most people say are silly.  It isn't anything new.
    Now what is REALLY silly is when people start getting offended.
