HEAVEN OR HELL
DUEL 1
LETS ROCK!
First of all Gelzo, what the fuck are you getting upset about? All I said to you was:
"Okay then, what would you have chosen?"
"Okay, that's not a bad picture or anything, but... the only statement it makes as a representative of American artwork is "hey look, America can do anime too! Aren't we a bunch of good little copycats?"
Mine, at least, showed that Americans are capable of creating well-drawn and powerful images of a style uniquely their own."
"Gelzo, why are you talking to Princess Celestia?"
Yes clearly these are such mean utterances that I should've considered more carefully.
If this were just me and you, and if MadassAlex and Counterclock had kept their traps shut, everything would've been fine. But nope, they had to come in fists-swinging. Naturally, that makes me the bad guy. Naturally. I'm sorry if you thought my calling them out on being passive-aggressive dipshits was somehow aimed at you, but, really, Context Clues man.
Or rather, you need to learn how to communicate.
If its clear that the other dude is trying to have a serious discussion and you follow with a joke image when asked a serious question, then yes, dude is gonna fucking think you're serious. That's just common sense. I mean, I know, someone is gonna follow up and say "Well I knew it was a joke!" but such people are few and far between and probably have the advantage of knowing you well--an advantage I don't have.
And you need to put effort into making humor work in text. That's why Maddox switched to making videos (and he even points out the shortcomings of text in one of them).
That was one of the reasons. But I recall forum infighting, the passive-aggressive cliques and a lot of general forum drama being a problem too. Fast Eddie's actual words on the subject were "A lot of problems come out of IJBM. Easily half the moderation work. The ugly half, at that. All the mods have talked it over a bit and are in agreement that it is the cause of trouble, not the victim of it."
Which on this forum, doesn't surprise me.
This is why you are the bad guy, Dantes.
Before anything untoward even started, you were
the demonsbeing backhanded and condescending. It's not enough that you disregarded the joke; you disregarded its intentions and behaved poorly, as if it were still insulting. Then you commented upon the userbase at large.I don't care what you think about me personally, but it speaks volumes that while lacking respect for the userbase at large, you expect to be respected back.
You've got an awful attitude and awful conduct, and that doesn't change no matter how much you dress it up in text.
American nor Japanese art is a monolith, and both have shitty trends in them, but it's not always correct to embed them in a cultural psyche and use those trends to make statements about the population.
And the guy blowing a gasket did get egged on by the rest, but I hope we can spare this thread. This is a fun thread.
Rerailing to respond to a post a page back: the reason I find the animu style fit less is that it oftens transplants the feel to either grimdark and gritty or overly sugary moe moe clichés, which is hard to pull of even if the formal aspects of the art are all in order(though it can be done well, see: http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/26366?search=japanese. American-style humanization often still retains the slice-of-life feel of the series, and is thus a tad easier even when the quality is a tad less.
I never asked for your respect. I don't need it, and honestly being "respected" by certain members would make me feel violated.
What I do ask, and have asked again and again, is this:
1. Don't start shitposting if you're not interested in a serious discussion. It's annoying for the people who are actually interested.
2. Attack the point, not the person making it.
So far most members of this forum have proven incapable of doing either one. In fact I'm pretty much the only member here who regularly adhere's to both. This entire forum, however, acts like it would rather talk about how fucking evil I am (something the mods have stepped in to put a stop to before, mind you) than actually discuss anything. I am morally justified in my behavior.
Speaking of moral justifications, your attempt to channel the Get-Along Gang and give me a "be a better person" speech would've come off as a lot more sincere if you had done it before snark-posting and image-macroing. As it is, it comes off like you're trying to get morality points for when the mods inevitably come and break us up.
both. This entire forum, however, acts like it would rather talk about

Mentally Abridged series finally has an update. Now with insert songs.
I now officially regret complaining about the pony sex. At least it isn't serious business like THE ANIMATION WARS!
Which would probably be a good title for a cartoon itself.
Speaking of which, that reminds me how in the Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright game, the PW characters come with their own art style, the PL characters come with their own art style, and all the other characters have a third art style.
^ I like that. It's better than changing one of the characters, and it gives the world less bias.

New episode's in, although you might want to wait for better quality(Edit: better quality is in). Bonkers Twilight seems a little too much like wanting to repeat the succes of Party of One, and the episode has a feel to it as if the creators are trying to force-meme. Not that the quality suffers, though.
Nuuuuuuuuuu~! It's nothing like those! If it were, I'd actually like it!
She looked like a pedophile in context. Dat scene with the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
