Date: 2011-02-28 05:13 am (UTC)Unfortunately the trolls have not only run off a few creators, they're also running off those that truly do give honest feedback. Maybe I'm old and just don't get it (I'm 32 and graduated high school the year this Dilbert was drawn), but there are other ways of fitting into the crowd than trying to one up a troll by creating another one. Everyone has to be the best by copying, right? This is where I get confused... It doesn't make sense!
I've spent a good deal of time in creative circles both online and in real life classes. Of course there is competition and one-upmanship there too, but it doesn't stop the creativity. People learn from others, get inspired, and develop styles with feedback. It's why I feel even in the TS3 community, there is a need for creators to come together if they so choose... I also say this not to put down anyone that doesn't create. Outside opinions are also valid if your intent is to help the artist improve.
I just wish those that felt entitled, don't create things for themselves, and do nothing but place intention on ruining people's days just to get a laugh for verbally abusing someone should think before speaking. Your words, no matter how light they seem to you could make or break an artist. These people don't have to upload, true. Yet they are more brave for doing so, placing their creations at the public's mercy while trolls hide behind a fake persona. That's not bravery. I don't really know what to call it.
And this is my long winded way of saying I agree. Play the game the way you want to play it. Create CC the way you want to create it... and... the rest is just the rest.
