Sadly, those who need to hear this info are not interested to hear it and surely aren't looking for it. That doesn't mean it's not worth saying. It is! I like your summary of The Guild's new video as well. Excellent. I love it :D Great post. Sadly, those who need to hear this info are not interested to hear it and surely aren’t looking for it.

Trolling forums might be fun sport but if you troll creative works then it can harm the creativity of the artist. If we want new fun creative things we need to encourage creativity, not stifle it.

GHEY. FAIL. But to be serious, I agree 100%. People are assholes because they can say whatever they want without any consequences. No face to face interaction, no danger, no embarrassment, no nonverbal ques to let people know when to shut the hell up. I respect any form of creativity if I know the person really believed in what they were doing. Does it mean you have to like it? No, it only means that you should respect the creative process. Don't tear someone down because you didn't think of it first. Hear hear. STFU. GHEY. FAIL.
