[QUOTE=ikes;51346450]sure, what I said was off-color and crass and rude and probably unacceptable
but I'm not particularly willing to concede to a group of people who have shown bias against me since day one and have always stared down at me with particular scrutiny above just about anyone else, and I absolutely will not apologize
it's especially grating when I've worked my ass off for three years now, and the only recognition I get is a sarcastic "hurr durr you can be a tourist for halloween, how wacky!!!!"
so maybe I'm not exactly keen on taking personality advice from a group who's been nothing but unwelcoming towards me?[/QUOTE]
Be the change you wish to see in the world. If you want to be treated with open arms and welcoming respect, you need to turn yourself around. Rather than continuing to get frustrated at me, take what I say to heart. If you want to be respected, then be respectful. Berating other contributors, new or old, is not something that people will be welcome towards. You often walk a fine line between confidence and vanity, and it reflects who you are as a person whenever you get items in the game, or ignore valuable criticism, or attack others that you don't think are as talented as you.

you're right, and I've never been frustrated with you.
I'm honestly very frustrated with myself lately, never you personally (you're someone I respect and look up to a lot and one of the more reasonable people on these forums) because internally I agree with everything you say, and I've been struggling with a lot lately that's caused me to say and do a lot of things I regret, and I've been working a lot more heavily lately to ignore stress in my life and it's caused me to be especially averse to criticisms since all I've wanted to do is move on to the next project day after day. sometimes the stress that I'm under causes me to do things and say things that are averse to my own moral values and beliefs and that is something I've been frustrated with myself about for a long time
you're right in everything you say and I want to take steps towards improving myself this way, honestly
it's been a rough night, I'm sorry for saying the dumb shit I've said, but there are still some points I've made that I think I still stand behind. I'm going to sleep on this, and I'm gonna think a lot about the things you've said to me as of late and reflect on myself, because it's been a long time since I've truly focused on self improvement
and I'm sure this post and exchange is completely incoherent, I'm just really exhausted. I've spent countless sleep-deprived nights stressing over work and everything else. I think after smissmass I'm going to take a brief hiatus. we'll see.

Again missing the point
Because I'm one who likes to ignore drama, have something that, concept wise, is actually pretty decent, but texture wise?

Nnnnah.
I guess it's a bit extra jarring when you compare it with another camo item

no, you watered down your mockery of my post by using an item submission that didnt particularly mold well with your argument

I disagree, but you're absolutely welcome to stick your fingers in your ears and squeal la la la like you always do.
[QUOTE=Pagliacci;51346429]It's funny tho[/QUOTE]
And it doesn't look bad, it's just a weird concept.
[QUOTE=Void Skull;51345875]It's their first workshop contribution and they're new to the community. I'm not particularly fond of this thread these days because of its whole premise but this person came here just tonight in confidence to join the community and take part in it all with their first ever contribution - and ultimately, it's not that bad. It's a legitimate item submission that people put work into, unlike the many submissions which are mere 3ds Max screenshots or outright fake pictures. Who are you to judge so harshly and turn someone away at the doorstep? No wonder the community is seen in such a poor light when people like you are so quick to judge new contributors for such petty superiority highs. Don't like their item? Give them feedback to improve, don't be a horse's ass without any redemption to your words. It's just plain rude.[/QUOTE]
Thank you for all the nice comments. This was SinfulCreature's first workshop submission, and he only asks for constructive criticism to improve his models in the future. He also can't wait till the Winter Workshop, and is working on some more stuff for it.

Lesson of the day, if you're going to give someone criticism, educate them instead of belittling them.

We can't help how we're made.

Chill folks.

He might have autism or something. Not trying to be edgy, the opposite actually, I think that people should be more careful

this happens in the thread once a week. I'm not going to politely explain to every person what they did wrong. Spraying your dog with a water bottle isn't being rude, it's preventing future accidents

Same can be asked about you, buddy.
Stop being hostile to other users.
[QUOTE=blueNES;51411036]He might have autism or something. Not trying to be edgy, the opposite actually, I think that people should be more careful[/QUOTE]
And so what if he does? I do. That means precisely jack-shit in a situation like this. I don't know what you think "autism" is, but it doesn't make people into delicate little child-flowers who need to be gently lead along.
This is a case of people being rude to a user who has done nothing to deserve it. Now, I'm all about deserved retribution to assholes. But AD/HD has been nothing other than polite and understanding and yet people are treating him like some kind of imbecile. That shit ain't gonna' fly, folks. We're better than that.

Actually, I have it as well, quite mildly. I never said that people with autism deserve special treatment, all I meant was I think that people should keep it in mind, since a number of people with autism / ASD can take things much more literally than others.
Sorry if I worded it wrong. Wasn't my intention.
