A lot of sprite comics don't like how some talk about them. But the problem sometimes isn't with the sprite comicers that actually attempt to do real comics, it's with the one's who praise utterly horrible comics. Inhibiting any want/need for improvement.
So if someone gives em a crit, guess what? It leads to muting and admin reviewing even if it's helpful.
So spriters: want people to stop saying sprite comics are shit, stop supporting the shit. Plain as can be. If there's less craptacular ones, there's less need to go “sprite comics are crap.”

I wish I could come up with a kind way to describe blind praise. I wish I could think of good things about it. But frankly, and for lack of a better word, I just find shit like that... well... retarded.

I agree wholeheartedly. People give too much praise to the crap sprite comics, which sets a low standard for other people who want to make sprite comics. I say sprite comics are good for people who have a good story but don't have the artistic talent to express it on paper. The only problem is that most sprite comic people will have crap stories and crap sprites... and they still get praised... Mostly I'm tired of recolored sprites that are supposed to be "custom characters"... well, there's my own little rant...

Vagabond, you're one of the ones who I have seen give good honest critisism. You're doin the good fight.

Well color me generalized. Oh well, not much that I can do about it by myself.

No no no, definately point out any good things they do. But, if a comic is just bad, let them know.

I agree with you to a degree. Just ripping some poor comic to shreds without anything constructive to say is a bit mean in my opinion. But that's just one guy's opinion... mine.

Why thank ya muchly. I try and rant well, and mostly it's cause it's on my mind so much.

I agree. It would be fine if spriters got told they sucked and thus tried to improve, but they don't, so they don't try to get better.

But praise for crap is -nicer- than critique for good stuff!

It's bad because the spriters will learn only to listen to blind praise and not real crit's. Thus anyone who doesn't like their work is ignored and attacked. WTF U TOOK DIS FRUM TASC AN U NO T GIMMI CREDIT U SUXXORZ!!!!1!
