What do y'all think of my criticism? I think it's not very good at all.

you act as if that the epic online hate mentality is anything new. Its a symptom of being practically anonymous online, and isnt going away anytime soon, and to expect so would be ridiculous, and honestly strip away some of the magic of the internet, as everyone will act as sanitized and sheltered online as they do in real life, which is no fun in my eyes.Devan2002 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 6:09 pmIn my opinion, 2017 and 2018 are the dark ages of the internet where people just have no remorse for doing shit things. Here's a few reasons:
1: As people who are getting smarter at level and world map designs for SMBX, they will frown upon those that haven't learned, some people take this to an extreme degree and just rant, acting like they think everyone should have known how to make a good level or world map, even when some people haven't gotten use to it (or they haven't played a lot of episodes and learn off of them, but in a way where it's not like they're stealing levels).
2. As more memes are created, they give reasons for people to hate others that support a meme that can be described as, "dead before it was even alive." This can just light the fuse of an argument bomb where the end result is like an actual nuke dropped somewhere and everyone is trying to hunt down this group in some sort of war. Sometimes I wonder if we're going to end up shitting the bed so hard we create World War 3 over the dumbest upon dumbest of reasons.
It might be negative for the user receiving the post/criticism but the intentions could be good.ThePieSkyHigh wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 3:14 pmTrue, but I don't think you'd post anything negative if you have good intentions?

you know whats great about the internet, and specifically about this website? you can block people. if someone is being annoying. bam. blocked. or you know. you can just ignore them. if i go on the subway and an old crazy guy is screaming racial slurs at me, I just ignore it (and it has happened, some guy thought i was Mexican and called me rude words that'll get me banned here). and to address what enjl said, you can do an epic block on any haters lmaoCedur wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 4:24 pmUzendayo wrote:you act as if that the epic online hate mentality is anything new.

oh well, is it magical that people go beyond bounds of decency on purpose because they are not held accountable, because the pattern of "sanction of shame" doesn't work? Because it is an antithesis of civilization and it allows us to act out the worst of our natural instincts? This doesn't have anything to do with fun; the internet has brought us great fun in many different aspects, but it's a very very double-edged sword.
I understand the message of your post and I basically agree with the bottom parts, but we have to be very careful with drawing the line. Because the line between "a bit mean" / "a challenge for you to face up with" on one side and "getting abusive / giving hell" on the other side is very thin.
Be sincere and behave with integrity, both within the internet and outside. Anyone thinking they can use the internet as a law-free zone is actively abusing it.
Clash is subjective however if the majority agrees something doesn't mesh together with another style for example, then it is portrayed as objective.stageleft wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 10:31 pmI think users are coming into a mario maker community with the idea that its all in good fun and anything goes. After some time and experience, they find advanced users have taken game design to a very high level of scrutiny for the sake of quality. I had that problem at first then realized how important all feedback is, seemingly negative or positive. Maybe one solution could be to focus criticism of gameplay over graphics, but to also inform the horrors of intense clashing. A little clash doesn't bother me personally, sometimes it feeds the atmosphere. As Pixel Pest said though just dropping a one liner like "this episode sucks" and possibly a rude anecdote doesn't do much but discourage hard work. Also as Uzendayo suggests, some peeps just enjoy a good anonymous internet beatdown, so block em or ignore em.
This right here, explained perfectly.Enjl wrote: ↑Sat Feb 23, 2019 7:41 amClash isn't subjective, it's just overblown by some people, and some people (usually in the same group) hunt for false positives based on a faulty definition... Clash isn't even always a bad thing. Sometimes contrast is exactly the thing your level needs! The general rule of thumb is that, as long as your level isn't searing people's eyes and it's easy to tell what everything is, the visuals are probably fine.
