Not giving criticism =/= sucking someone.
I will not go to a 12 year old’s drawing and say it’s manure compared to Caravaggio.
Not the same league.
And my snarkiness came from the fact that I already pretty much gave up on the writer being able to understand what makes the cartoon work and add to it meaningfully.
@PonyPon
I’m not saying they aren’t. But they’re aren’t flawless either. No, artist is perfect, no work is infallible. Some may take some looking into, and person may never want those flaws to be there, but they are there all the same. And critics should look for them.
@PonyPon
Hardly. It’s easy to criticize shit, but when we get to the braeburneds and the madmaxes do people ever get on their asses? No. When people make fetish art or r34, do people complain? Sure, but usually over the content and even then not for the right reasons, and the complainers usually get their asses flamed anyway, because apparently r34 and fetish art get a free pass by virtue of what they are.
@Smudge_Proof
No. I was offended you did it in such a mean-spirited way, and over something as petty as a cover image which bear no actual input on the story itself.
Yes I was offended you don’t critize them as harshly, because that’s just as a disservice to them as stocking their cocks and saying they’re perfect. If you are going to give criticism, give criticism.
Yes. Artists like criticism, but treat them the same way. A critic should be neutral in their viewpoints. Without any sort of personal bias or preference.
@Smudge_Proof Regarding fan-works: It is an official product. Yes, I will scrutinize it more. If this was a fan image, I would have shrugged and went on.
I’m so fucking tired of that excuse. If fans want to be respected, criticism should just as much or not more so than the official work? Why? Yes it is a hobby, but you want to improve your skills as a creator, to be more loose with your criticisms for fanworks and an insult, like you’re lesser than other people create. And what’s worse is that’s hardly ever any kind of actual criticism towards fanwork and it’s bullshit.
@Smudge_Proof
Yes. The writer approved of the cover, but the neither created nor thought of it.
Of course a cover is supposed to do that, that’s the whole purpose of a cover and advertising in general. However they are rarely ever reliable in portraying in what the product actually is. ESPECIALLY in comics, it’s been that was since the sliver age across the board.
Yes you did imply it. You came here for the sole purpose to put down the cover regardless of what backlash you might get. And used a criticism that can be used for virtually any picture on the damn site in a certain variation. If you truly didn’t you wouldn’t have commented at all, and kept your distaste out of it.
If you want to leave a review, go to the forums and complain, this is not the place for it.
But what I am saying? This isn’t gonna change anything, maybe I’ll just leave the comment section again, because lord knows arguments are gonna spring up again.

Regarding fan-works: It is an official product. Yes, I will scrutinize it more. If this was a fan image, I would have shrugged and went on. If I was asked by the person who made a piece of fan work to do the same, I would do that.
@Background Pony #B0B3
If the artist made the cover, without input from the writer, then the artist is the writer.
And you know what a comic cover is? Something that should make me want to read what is behind the cover. For me, this fails at it’s task for reasons I have pointed out.
And no, I still don’t see how I would have implied that I was patronizing the readers. In the same vein, don’t ever go to a site like, say, rotten tomatoes and read any negative review of a movie you liked.
@Smudge_Proof
You implicitly implied it. Or are the thousands of fan artists suddenly exempt from that criticism of a non-canon picture because their works aren’t ‘official’?
Oh, yes, here I was expecting more from a comic based on a show targeted at preteen girls to sell them pink plastic pony toys.
Sorry if I sound like a dick. But yes, you fucking are, regardless if you want to admit to yourself or not. Bitching over a non-canon cover is petty, plain and simple.
And it wasn’t the writer who made the cover, it was the artist.
@Background Pony #B0B3
Oh, yes, here I was expecting more from a comic based on a show targeted at preteen girls to sell them pink plastic pony toys. Cover or not. I have slowly but steadily grown a distaste for this writer.
PS. I think it would be easier to track your additions if you weren’t anonpony number random.
@Background Pony #B0B3
I didn’t criticize the readers, unless you take any criticism of the work upon yourself. Feel free to enjoy it. I criticized the writer of it.
@Smudge_Proof
There’s also keeping your opinions to yourself, and expressing in way that’s not patronizing to the creators and those who enjoy it.
And believe me I’ve keeping away from the goddamn comment section for almost two weeks because of fear of shit like this. I wanted to read some because maybe, maybe that wouldn’t be the case this time, evidently not.
@Background Pony #B0B3
If your fun is ruined by people pointing out things they don’t like about something and explaining why they don’t like it, I think it would be the best to stay away from the comment section.
You know, people comment there.
What they think.
Sometimes it’s contrary to your opinion.
Feel free to enjoy the comic if you like it, I don’t.
