Rant Thread
Re: Rant Thread
My own minor gripe: I finally decided to give Animal Crossing a chance when New Horizons came out and I've been enjoying the game so far. However, I swear, if I get one more of the goddamned hamster villagers in my campsite, I'm going to snap my Switch in half.

Re: Rant Thread
Between being unable to find the right way to describe how I'm feeling and so poorly wording my rants, people taking rants personally or offensively (poor wording or not) when it is supposed to be far from offensive and the possibility that someone is sharing my rants on more sensitive topics (which I admit I probably shouldn't have posted here anyway) with people related directly or indirectly to the topic, I don't feel comfortable sharing my feelings here any more.
I am SICK and TIRED of people taking things the wrong way because I said something badly or because they heard from someone else something that may or may not even concern them. People say it's better to let it out than suffer in silence. I think I suffer less when I don't let it out.

Rest in peace mum. I really did love and miss you, even if I never got to see you.

Re: Rant Thread
I certainly hope this isn't the case, but *nobody* should be sharing these posts outside the community.
Of course, this is a public board and can be searched and read by anyone, so there's absolutely nothing I can do to stop the wider community, aside from restricting the readability of this thread to members only. That clearly won't stop members from sharing it, but may cut down on the visibility. Perhaps that's a good idea for this thread?

Re: Rant Thread
It's really repulsive. And typical of people who inject themselves into the middle of the market and feel they should make most of the money while doing very little and producing nothing themselves. They'd add more value to the world as fertilizer.Castile wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 9:19 pm Wow I've been ranting a lot but tis the season I guess - this one is probably going to trigger every artist here like it did me. Mr Petit Bourgeoisie I'll call him puts up an art contest to use his logo to design a t-shirt. The prize is a free shirt with YOUR art on it (oh wowies) and $50 store credit - in return you hand over your rights for him to SELL your artwork on shirts with all proceeds basically going to him. You even tick a box that says he can use it for marketing, promotion and "charity" purposes. Like are you serious? You basically want free art to sell?? What the fuck. Does this guy just not value the talent of artists at all?? I find the whole thing so repugnant

Re: Rant Thread
They even admitted to it when I confronted them.
They said they dont do that any more and that they are sorry...
But it was still done, and now its floating around for anyone to obtain, as well as stuff from other creators that was stolen as well.
Siggy under construction!

That sucks dude So many ppl do it and don't realise how valuable it is (or maybe they do and don't care). Either way they suck!Bowno wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 3:19 am Someone stole my art.

Ouch, what bastards If they're actually sorry they'd pay for what they took.Bowno wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 3:19 am Someone stole my art.

Re: Rant Thread
It was years ago apparently and I only recently found out.
They stole a bunch of other stuff from creators too. Endless stuff.
I recorded the entire conversation I had with them.
They said they thought it was 'edgy and cool' to do back then, and if creators wouldnt respond to them or if they just didn't want to bother contacting the creator, they'd just steal a copy of their own through a program that isn't supposed to even exist :l

Re: Rant Thread
I've seen SO MANY companies do this and it's absurd every single time. Huge art contests where the prize is your logo on a shirt- but you don't get paid, you don't get a cut, and anyone who doesn't win gets jack squat. It's just a way for companies to avoid paying an artist and instead get a million free designs and it sucks. 8(Castile wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 9:19 pm Wow I've been ranting a lot but tis the season I guess - this one is probably going to trigger every artist here like it did me.

Re: Rant Thread
Yep! This person uses the guise "its all for the community" which is BS. A group I'm apart of said I should enter with the slogan "pay for your art and artists" hehe not a bad idea!LupisDarkmoon wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 2:33 pm
