Ugh… aka hipster’s misadventures in SF… name-dropping like it makes them somebody, bitching about weather, etc. I would slap them upside the head. If you don’t like fog or pine for 80+ degree weather, get the hell out of my city. You probably bought a prius.
Since this is an issue that has startled me greatly on more that one occasion, I figured it was high time I get to the bottom of it and put an end to music autoplaying on people’s pages. So, after doing some digging, here is how to do just that.
BLESS
EXCELLENT

I love how RDJ is basically Tony Stark now… this and that comic-con thing with him and the kids dressed as Iron Man are so awesome.

renegadefound said: please don’t say things like this. there’s no need to discourage someone from doing what they love. we all start somewhere.
When they’re only fishing for compliments, I see it as harmful. Why perpetuate bad art practices? If they’re the type that appreciate critique or are actively trying to grow as an artist, then of course this doesn’t apply to them. What I find harmful are people who are only ever fed praise when their work clearly needs critiquing… then when they overvalue their work go out and try to get a career and fail, then they’re surprised and don’t understand how that could happen, and then paint themselves as victims (thus asking for more praise / support to continue the cycle).
when someone you know posts a lot of art that doesn’t look very good but plasters it / reblogs it everywhere and then clearly wants compliments
I’ve always searched for that concrete reason why I didn’t like Cat Bounty…
Now I have it.
That’s cool, ‘cause I don’t like you either.
I don’t have to take shit from a bunch of anons who make a point of hating fucking everything, and if you think I do, then you are sorely mistaken. Especially if that “criticism” is more like barely-concealed jealousy that they didn’t get in on this community update and somebody else did and they don’t like a thing how dare they make a thing for the community I don’t like.
I don’t have to take that gracefully. I don’t have to take it at all.
Go soak your head and I will be over here feeling awesome because for once in my goddamned life I am not feeling guilty over people not liking a thing I made because I have been validated by people whose opinions are worth a hell of a lot more.
I am not even mad.
I’m fucking elated.
yeah, you’re allowed to get angry at criticism because you’re a big name fan. if i did that or if anyone not as well-known in the fandom did it, they’d get hell for behaving the way they did. it’s sad that being intimidatingly popular and having intimidatingly popular friends leaves you exempt from certain things.
For reference, the thread is HERE for anyone that wants to see that trainwreck. It’s sort of just reinforcing why I stopped going to TF2Chan looooong ago. Cat probably has a right to be defensive or want to defend him/herself, but the manner in which the whole thing devolved made them look like they were fucking 12 years old. From the looks of it, a lot of the initial criticism wasn’t a personal attack, but rather people just not digging the comic’s wacky storyline. What I find interesting is that Cat assumes that means everyone’s instantly jealous of his/her 15 minutes of fame. The vast majority of TF2 regulars I know don’t even know who cat bountry is, and if they dislike the update it’s mostly because it’s just all hats and that the comics potentially wreck some of the existing canon. Personally, I enjoyed the new hats but am relatively indifferent to the whole comic angle of the update since I’m biased towards Makani-only stuff.
But yeah, Cat could’ve been the bigger person and rose above it but, like much of the internet, they found it easier to drop to the same level as everyone else… which is Cat’s right but also doesn’t look great either. If people come up with legit (constructive) criticism, then it should be considered. And not everything is “jealousy”; some people just don’t like something. Slathering everything with a coat of “jealousy” can make a person sound like they have a big head.
Hopefully Cat learned from this whole mess, rather than remaining some kind of petulant-child person about the whole thing. You really don’t want to be the fandom equivalent of Phil Fish.
jesus fucking christ what happened to that community
rest in pieces tf2ch
Seriously… we were in during the golden age there, scoot… all the baru / makani / p-ro art we could ever want… where people would stir shit up now and then, but the quality of the output was still enough to stick with it. Guess we dodged a bullet by getting out as soon as we saw the shit encroaching on the horizon, lol. But, fond memories and all that.
Oh my goooooooooooooooooood

eheheh Raphael’s emails are so precious (〜￣▽￣)〜
You know you need a transparent 3D Nick saying “Objection!” on your blog.
It looks like he’s really dramatically saying “I LOVE YOU”
