The amount of sugarcoating I see in comments on the oekaki boards. My goodness. Maybe I'm just used to DA and such, but it feels like people just gloss things over in there so no body's delicate psyche gets hurt. @_@ I'm almost afraid to critique things lest someone takes it badly and it ends in me getting a forum warning. (And I think it's appalling that if someone loooves their picture and it's the best they've done, it's apparently bad etiquette to give constructive criticism. Wat. Helping someone improve is bad manners now?) I look for the ones that do ask for critique when I try to give it, but geebers. The kind of comments I see when looking for one.

Also, when you ask for critique and find difficulty in receiving it. @.@ And how I've been spoiled by Photoshop and using oekaki without pressure sensitivity drives me insane. I have respect for people who can churn out some great looking stuff.

And my friends(they can't stop talking about twilight, taylor swift, and all that junk). Honestly, I'm beginning to get irritated by things that become immensely popular in a couple of weeks.

Oh my gosh, that is exactly how I feel. -_- Oh how I despise fads. They all start with one person suddenly becoming obsessed with something. For example, twilight-itus was brought to my school by one girl that suddenly decided twilight was the only thing she'd ever talk about. By the end of the week, every popular girl was obsessing over twilight and fawning about how wonderful they think it is. Soon enough, all my friends except one started obsessing. Actually, before twilight became popular at my school, reading for fun was considered wierd and uncool. But now that everyone loves twilight, reading is so OMG awesome! And Justin Bieber recently became a fad at my school. All started when one girl was debating with another girl about how well he sings. A few weeks ago, she suddenly felt the need to let everyone know about how wonderful she thinks he is. She even glued a huge picture of his face to her notebook. O_o And she knows his favorite color, the brand of toothpaste he uses, his cell phone number, and a bunch of other fangirlish things. And she told me she calls him EVERY DAY. Now, half of the girls in my grade obsess over him, and the other half hate him.

I also hate popularity and the traits that almost every popular kid has. Here's a lovely list of popular traits:
-you're rich and incredibly spoiled
-you hate your parents
-you're very mean and find verbally torturing unpopulars is fun
-you swear. A LOT.
-you find very mature and inapropriate jokes absolutely HILARIOUS.
-you only wear "cool" clothes
-you have zero respect for anyone
-you joke about the teachers behind their backs
-you act incredibly stupid around teachers just to annoy them
-you're obsessed with twilight
-you have no sympathy for those in need (For example, in library class, the librarian always passes out an educational magazine. We recently got one about Haiti, and it said things about how many kids lost at least one parent and their home and town were reduced to rubble. And instead of feeling sorry for the poor children who are orphans and are starving and homeless, they're laughing about how the Haitian girl on the cover "looks wierd".)


I know! And then they laugh and tease all the inpopular kids! ;.-

You know what annoys me? Trolls. Trolls are annoying.

So my little sister, ~Sammy~, made an oekaki. It looked nice, and she had requested some comments and critiques. So this n00b just so happens to pass by...

~Sammy~ wrote:My fursona, Sam in her epic little mini top hat. :3 Timer does not lie.

Tools: Wacom tablet
Oekaki brushes: Pen, pencil, dodge, burn
Timer: Like I said, true
Criticism: Yes, I'm looking for criticism

Obvious Troll wrote:cool, do you like tigers?

~Sammy~ wrote:Thanks, but that was random. o3o

Obvious Troll wrote:*glares* Do you have something against bein' random?

~Sammy~ wrote:It's not that, it's that your kinda spamming my Oekaki. o3o

Obvious Troll wrote:bein a little ornery are we? well, i just asked a simple question. Answer it. I leave. And we just stay the freak away from each on cs got it? I don't think that it's THAT complicated to do.

~Sammy~ wrote:@Some weird troll: e3e Please, leave my thread if you're going to be rude about it.

Able wrote:Shut up and go away if you're going to harass my little sister. This topic isn't about tigers. c: Sam is being kind and lenient to your stupid question.

Obvious Troll wrote:they haven't answered yet, and I just asked a question, I didn't know they are your sister, and telling me "shut up" does NOTHING whatsoever, except convey your lack of manners. Anyway, i was NOT harassing Sammy, and I'm VERY sorry Sammy if i offended you in ANY way, just please DO NOT bring Able into this.

(They don't like me, I don't like them. They did this to me before, and I got pissed off. Now they're a bit frightened by me. >_>)
~Sammy~ wrote:Eh, sorry if I sound rude, it's just that tigers have nothing to do with my Oekaki. ^ ^;

It's fine, none taken.

Also, I didn't try to bring Able into this- she just popped up. She's good at that. xD; She's my sis, so you'd figure she would show up here. She comments on all if not most of my oekakis.

Obvious Advertising Troll wrote:it's fine, It just seems like she doesn't like me, and I just was asking if you like tigers cause I just drew one.

~Sammy~ wrote:Ah, you drew a tiger? I'd love to see ^.^

(She really didn't want to see their art, Sammy's a bit softer.)
Obvious Advertising Troll wrote:well it's really just a sloppy mouse drawing of the eye, anyway if you REALLy want to, I'll post the link!: -She had a link, but I'm removing it for the n00b's privacy.-

Being a little ornery are we?

...N00bs are annoying.



All the stupid little brat wanted to do was advertise their art, they didn't care about Sam's art. They were rude, trollish, annoying... Augh. x_x

@Able - That reminds me of spamming.
And spamming annoys me to the end of time. ;.-

People only have to sugar coat things because of the horrible retaliation people throw at those who try to critique =.= and that is what bugs me. I think the difference is that DA is mostly older, more mature members who can handle critique, whereas here, there are a lot of younger members who haven't learned that people are only trying to help. But I agree, I hate that we have to sugar coat for fear of being attacked by an angry little kid

Able, did you report them for spamming and advertising? They deserve that much at least *mumbles about trolls being the spawn of Satan*

I must admit, I do often find mature jokes funny... (SNL, 30 rock, Who's line is it anyway?, comedy central, that sort of thing)

But it really annoys me when people are rude behind teachers backs. Especially when a teacher is really nice and then they steal $50 right out of his wallet when he's not looking. >_<
