The ACTUAL Problem with MFGG

[HellJumper]

There's also the fact that a lot of the longtime members here come off as extremely elitist, and kind of arrogant. I'm not going to pretend like I haven't contributed to the ugly side of MFGG, but one of the main reasons I don't take this site that seriously, is because of the community interaction. To me, it's pure cancer. I'm not going to be naming anyone here, because I don't want to start a silly war, but I personally have not had the best experience here. I haven't been here that long, and I'm already seen as this mediocre sprite artist that can't take criticism. Because for some reason, if I don't apply every change to my sprites that is recommended, then I apparently can't take criticism. If I disagree with something someone recommended to me, then apparently I can't take criticism, because the people recommending them to me have been here a lot longer, and apparently know everything about everything. One thing that a lot of people need to understand, is that constructive criticism is there for the artists benefit, not yours. If what you are recommending contradicts the style the artist is trying to go for, then you can't be surprised when the artist doesn't apply whatever modifications you recommend. This is where the elitism stems from, from my experience anyways.

 Jumping feet first into hell isn't my job; making sure it's crowded when I get there is.
