Welcome to Gaia! :: IronSpike's Post History

Critiquing you is not trolling. Disagreeing with you is not trolling. Refusing to asspat your creative endeavors is not trolling. Trolling is posting replies calculated to elicit an entertaining response, usually an angry one. The mere fact that a post may make you angry because you don't like what the poster said doesn't automatically make it a troll post. "Troll" has degenerated to me ...

Yeah, chickenscratcher, I can tell how little you care by the way you hang on my every word. Waving the white flag so soon? C'mon, I wanna hear more about us manga-hating white westerners. Here, on the western website inspired by manga and anime.

Careful, mangaka-sama, you're starting to skip spellcheck. Who do you use to take your scientifically rigorous polls about how 80% of Westerners hate manga, and that's why there's nothing wrong with the way you draw? I like Gallup, myself.

And miss a second of your flailing? Not a chance. I took a poll, like 87.56% of the forum is too white to not enjoy this.

What does this mean? :s I'm trying to follow the discussion so far but this has tripped me up. She's saying there's nothing wrong with her art. The fault is entirely with us, because we are incapable of appreciating its perfection; we're too white/Western to perceive its true glory. I AM ENJOYING THE SHOW

I hope you keep posting art. I'm gonna love watching you stagnate like Irish bog and snarl like a pissy little housecat every time anyone tries to say anything remotely helpful. And I hope you plan on going pro. Do you have a tumblr? Make sure to make a post about how you would have totes gotten into your first-choice art college if the admissions board wasn't so darn racist. Cuz dollfac ...

You're right. We must be talking about that time I dismissed all of the constructive criticism the forum provided by claiming they were all too white/Western to appreciate my comics, and then just pulled some random fabricated statistic out of my a** to validate my hilarious claim. ...Oh. Hmm.

Yeah, like remember that one time someone told me in a completely civil tone that my manga wasn't absolutely perfect, and I totally lost my s**t and called them an idiot? Boy, was that- oh wait.

Almost as smart as posting page fifty-twelve of Baby's First Manga, and then throwing a name-calling, tear-soaked toddler-tantrum when it's not borne to heaven on a flight of angels and praise?

Cry harder. Take it more personally. Wet your frilly little diaper, just for me. Your tears are delicious. If you don't want any feedback that's not an asspat, keep this s**t off the forum and taped to your mom's fridge.

Stop interpreting criticism directed at your comic as personal attacks. It makes you look and sound like a kindergartner. I've read about fifty pages of your comic, and while it may not say "Star Wars" on the label, I don't need to read the ingredients list. Your comic even has the same weaknesses and non sequiturs as Lucas' stories. it may not strictly be plagiarism, but it 's certainly "stron ...

Ink your work. Ink your work, ink you work, ink your work. Some professionals don't bother, true. But It's their skill that allows them to do so. Most people can't and shouldn't. Your work has the standard roster of beginner's issues. Symbolic drawing, crowded panels, wobbly lines, uneven gutters, bad lettering. But everybody has that starting out. Not being incredible right away shouldn' ...

The story is basically nonsense. Without context to help me understand what's happening, I can't enjoy the comic at all. It's just another manga fight scene. Who am I supposed to root for? Why are they fighting? Artistically, it's scratchy and imprecise. There's a lot of symbolic drawing, where you're not drawing a tree or a brick wall; you're drawing the idea of those things. It's the artistic ...
