This is the trend that doesn't end....yes it goes on and on, my friend...some people started doing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue doing it forever, just because...this is the trend that doesn't end, yes it goes on and on, my friend, some people.....
*cough* Anyway- Bawwwing. At some point in their Gaian lives, a majority of people seem to do it. More often, however, when things may not go their way or follow the path they may have expected. Have you ever wondered who coined the term, "bawwwwing"? Is the term overused to the point where it's just become an annoyance, like that classic, endless song?
Some people, I've noticed seem to "Bawwww" simply to be heard, while others, the more dangerous, rabid groups of Gaians who gather together in massive armies in certain forums, seem to "bawwww" over features of Gaia itself.
A recent trend I've been noticing is that a lot of Gaians are bawwwing harder- and more often- about something that has replaced the old life blood of Gaia itself. That's right- I'm talking about our beloved Evolving items.
I've seen the first major bawwwing shitstorm back with EI's back when the Diapered Egg was still evolving. (If anyone thinks there have been other bawwwfests before that time, please feel free to share it- as my memory before then is pretty etchy) There was an explosion of bawwwing and hate, and threats toward Sukinahito all across the board while she was working on her item. Many screamed that her EI should be given to another artist to work on, many questioned as to why Suki was given an EI to work on if she despises pixelling items, while more raged that she should be fired because the evolutionary course was taking far too long.
The second major bawww bombing hit Gaia in August (?) and was directed toward the Case of Pietro and its artist, Reapersun. It was yet another Evolving Item that strayed from its predicted evolutionary course after its first evolution, and enraged many who lacked the patience to wait it out. Following the trend of complaints with the Diapered Egg, many people encouraged Gaia to give Reaper's beloved item for someone else to work on. Do you think that something like that would not only be insulting to the artist who started on it, but insulting to the fans of the starter artist, if it's passed on? Surely, the secondary artist will put their own twist on the EI, and completely stray from the original concept the starter artist had, which could ultimately kill or save it, depending on the consumer's P.O.V
Lastly, there was bawwwing over the more recent, EI, Bad Moon, which had a speedy evoultionary process during the month of October, and wasn't "put off", like the aforementioned EI's. But the bawwwing this time was directed at the fact that it was insanely overpriced for the amount of evolutions that it had, that mostly provided over 9000 recolors of certain poses. Many mentioned that they were not a fan of Drinky Tengu's work, and that she should've included more items, and not recolors, for the cost of it.
I can only wonder which artist will be put on the chopping block in the near future, and if they're actually deserving of the bawwwing shitstorms and threats that get thrown their way. Who do you think is next? Surely, if they have a good reputation with EI's their (true) fans will rise anongst the bawwwers and defend them. Is it really considered asskissing to stand up for the person you admire?
