Please forgive me as I don’t know where this thread goes. What are your thoughts about users using oc’s that do not belong to them / character theft (example: using said oc for rp etc when it’s not theirs) using oc’s without the original owners permission? for me as an artist, I absolutely hate this. I have had multiple of my characters stolen and used this way and even people trying to sell them. Note: one of my oc has 1000€ worth of art and not a single person asked me for permission. I’ve found her back everywhere and one of my oc even had been stolen by EQD sethisto >~< my characters whom are still partially stolen right now: Sakura, Tulip, Nawa, Pandora usually I try to approach the user before taking it to staff as I never allow others to use my oc’s (fanarts etc are a different story though) what are your thoughts about this? How do you handle that situation? What if they use your oc? these are my thoughts and I’m curious to hear yours! -
Example. Some will say Star Wars 3 had bad writing. Which was the only movie in the series i liked. Since the rest of them has no plot and is just pew pew laser swords. And thats why i hate them. It has no build up, or no point in being movies. So i tell you what. Since Big Bang Theory has good writing. The real problem with George Lucas movies is he didnt have the writer from Big Bang Theory. And there you go. If it has good writing then it means a movie or tv series is good. God bless the writing criticizer online. Not like they say it out of petty reasons or anything. Basically i notice if a game doesnt have some boring dad simulator or is not a boring TV Drama. Then apparently that makes it bad. So having anything remotely fun or cool like Sonic games. Bad writing apparently. Cant have that

I always hear "He needs more personality," etc., about some characters. ...Because it worked so well for Link (The Legend Of Zelda), right? Samus Aran (Metroid)? Supreme Leader Snoke (Star Wars)? And, of course, King Sombra? ...Lesson: Don't just give them more personality; make sure it's the right personality. What do you think? -
I hear the terms family friendly and kid friendly thrown around for movies, shows, games, books and what not. But is there any real difference between the two? Both have the standards and complexity of the content being toned down to be "appropriate" for minors. Yet one says it's targeted specifically for kids and the other is a little different cause it's supposed to include the whole family, but is still toned down for the youngest of that family? Heck, isn't the -friendly suffix indicative of children media in general? There's no teen or pre-teen friendly. No adult friendly. No elderly friendly.

I am just curious about why this genre is so popular and why everyone seems to love it so much. It's pretty boring if you ask me. I can understand liking it when it's on TV. Some Slice of Life TV Shows can be great and really entertaining. Like The New Looney Tunes Show for example. But what I really wanna know is why do so many people like to RP it? That defeats the purpose of roleplaying if you ask me. I RP to ESCAPE the shitstorm that is reality. I'd much rather do things that I can't actually do in real life when I RP. Like fight and kill monsters and villains and embark on perilous adventures and quests while playing as my Knight, Mage and Samurai etc. But if I'm playing some human or pony who's going to school and struggling there with bullies and teachers or getting along with their family or some other mundane common problems that I or some other human in real life could realistically be dealing with then what's the point? Imagine if most videogames were about quizzes and math or playing sports and none of them involved killing things or had any boss fights etc. To me that's what this is like.

Curious to know if anyone would be interested in buying handmade sculptures of oc's? Just curious if there would be a demand for it.

Ok so I was thinking earlier,”Why don’t I like DC anymore?”,here’s the reasons Lets start out with Everyone’s favorite boyscout Superman Dont get me wrong,I respect Supes because he was the first superhero,but he’s changed dramatically over the years. He used to be some farm boy with superpowers but now,DC made him Godlike and unkillable. Which made Superman,boring. I think DC should make Supes more vulnerable,because ‘38 Supes was vulnerable,plus he had some crummy jokes Batman Oh how the Batman has fallen! Yet he’s a great character,but he’s TOO serious. I’m sure seeing your parents gunned down in front of you would make you a serious guy,but hey,Bats needs to let go a bit. Plus he’s a psychopath,just like Joker,Harley and many others. I know Batman killed before he switched to guns but seriously,GUNS. Batman doesn’t need guns! And that stupid Dark Knight Metal series is pretty overrated if you ask me. Wonder Woman Honestly,Diana is one of my favorite DC characters,she’s awesome and I can’t really complain. Teen Titans/Young Justice TT has fallen towards the point of no return and YJ was just terrible! I thinks it’s because I hate Teenage Superheroes (not counting Spider-Man and Co.) Green Lantern *facepalm* The Flash I mean he’s alright,he’s just not the best. Especially Justice Leagues flash,why not get the guy who played in the TV series? DCs villains I like most of DCs villains,but DC gives the villains too much spotlight! Last but certainly the least... HARLEY QUINN I absolutely hate this character,I like the classic comic version but after Arkham Asylum,And Suicide Squad,I was upset how they portrayed her every time. but other than DCs terrible mistakes,they also had good ones,such as the original DC cartoons,and maybe some of the modern animation. but that’s my opinion! I’d like to hear yours! -

Having watched some meanwhile, this label strike me rather negatively than positively meanwhile. Note that netflix original can actually seemingly also refer to media that Netflix has the sole permission to stream and nobody else has. Some stuff I watched. Pro: Castlevania - But even this was of varied quality and immaturely strong language. Neutral: The Seven Deadly Sins Con: The Defenders (without having watched any other series before of them) The Wrong Missy Ghost in the Shell ZAC 245 (or something) -> Like WTF: This looks like it was done with Steam Film Maker!? Are your experiences with it in line with mine? I mean, it would make sense given there is likely a lower budget when you are producing for one media provider only and with limited number of customers... -
SOOOOOOO FUNNNNNNYYYYY

What do you dislike so much, your only recourse seems to be outright Fanon Discontinuity? For me, one example is Sombra's role in The Beginning Of The End... Strike 1: R.I.P., worldbuilding and development from the comics. Strike 2: No-nonsense, genre-savvy beast like before? Nope -- monologuey, overconfident stereotype. Strike 3: Little more than the KGBeast to Grogar's Amanda Waller.

Could you say this would be fair comparison. In the end, who is lying, who is telling the truth? Media, internet, public figures, money in news, politics, racist money, crime, In reality, misunderstandings...makes you think?

Lol what is your view on this video. I found it sort of inspiring.

Let's be real here, we often talk about character redesigns that are terrible, especially with the ones after the dreaded "Cal Arts" style. But how about good ones, there's been some takes on certain characters that are not only good, but some could argue were a big improvement over the originals, some streamlined to some radically different what are some of your favorites? Megaman X's appearance in Command Mission has always been my favorite designs of him

As you can probably tell by my username and avatar, I'm a Spider-Man fan. He's been my hero since I was a toddler. And one of the many reasons why I love Spidey is becasue of his rogue's gallery (Along with Batman, he has the best one). And with this post I'll be discussing my personal favorite villain of his (Who eventually became one of my favorite anti heroes), Venom. My first introduction to the character was when my mother gave me a DVD called Spider-Man The Venom Saga that contained all of the Venom focused episodes of the 90's Spider-Man cartoon. In that version, we see that Eddie Brock (Voiced by Hank Azaria actually) is a journalist who really hates Spider-Man and blames him for all of his problems and mistakes and lies about Spider-Man stealing an important rock from a crashed space shuttle. Eventually though, the truth comes out and he's fired and humiliated. Meanwhile, that rock contained a black alien symbiotie that bonded to Peter Parker/Spider-Man and increased his powers and gave him some new ones, but it also started to really change who he was and make him more aggressive and violent. He soon gets rid of it thanks to the loud sounds of a church bell, but the alien then bonds with Brock and turns him into a big, strong, monstrous looking creature. The symbiote also gives Eddie all of Spider-Man's knowledge and secrets and soon they dub themselves as Venom and try to torture Peter/Spidey as revenge. Why is Venom my favorite Spidey foe? Well besides the fact that he has one of the coolest designs I've ever seen, I think it's because of how truly dangerous he can be. Not only does he have similar powers to Spider-Man, he is stronger, he can bypass the Spider Sense, and he's one of the few villains who knows that Peter Parker and Spider-Man are one and the same. He knows all of Peter/Spidey's secrets and all the people he cares about. I also like how he has a dark, sadistic, and just sometimes weird sense of humor. But Venom isn't just a villain though. During the 90's he became more of an anti hero for awhile starting with Lethal Protector (Messy but fun 90's story) and continuing in Venom stories since (Including the 2018 Tom Hardy solo film) and I enjoy that as well. Even when he was a villain, he was never a complete and irredeemable psychopath (Other than maybe the Ultimate Comics version and Topher Grace's version from Spider-Man 3). He would sometimes protect innocent people or people he still cared about. He's still far from a goodie two shoes, but he can still deliver justice (Or at least his view of justice). There have been other characters besides Eddie Brock to bond with the symbiote and become Venom like Anne Weying (She-Venom) Mac Gargan (Scorpion), and Flash Thompson (He was known as Agent Venom), but to me there is only true Venom. It's Eddie Brock and the alien symbiote together. I find the character of Eddie Brock interesting on his own and then when you give him this living black goo that he bonds with (And sometimes clashes with), you can have some entertaining stuff. After fighting Spider-Man a few times, Venom then got another archenemy when serial killer Cletus Kasady and the symbiote's red offspring bonded and became the monster known as Carnage. I mentioned earlier how Eddie/Venom still had some good traits even as a villain. That's not the case with Cletus/Carnage. He is just pure evil who wants to kill many men, women, children, and animals just because he enjoys it. No remorse at all. So this was my Venom appreciation post I guess. If you are interested in Venom lore and want to learn about it, you can buy a lot of the stories in trade paperback collections on Amazon like Birth Of Venom, Carnage Classic, Lethal Protector, Planet Of The Symbiotes, Maximum Carnage, etc. And you can also check out The Venom Vlog on Youtube by Siike Donnelly. It's a show that covers Venom stories and adaptations from the past and new Venom content like comics, cartoons, and the films by Sony. I've been subscribed to his channel since December 2017 shortly after the show got started. Siike is a cool guy and you can tell he has a lot of passion for the Spider-Man/Venom lore, but he also isn't afraid to criticize a Venom story if he doesn't think it's good (Cough Cough Ultimate Venom and Carnage). https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRuOJvaaDXG6xE6GhIOaVjw What do you guys think of Venom (And other symbiote characters)? What's your favorite Venom story and adaptation? Comment and let me know and thanks for reading. #WeAreVenom

What's your favorite sound effect? Mine is those little fart sounds when changing weapons in Half-Life and Counter Strike 1.6. The other is when you hit face in Hearthstone.

It's a very unique genre because the world buildings and settings are already done/limitted, the writer mostly has to focus on the storyline and characters. Even most famous families, factions, skills and items are already established already and expected to be in the trope. Similar to westerns, but this is completely based on a fantasy world. It's like they are building their own story out of the same D&D setting. Thought every fantasy fictions are copying Tolkien? In oriental chivalric novels, it's wierd not to! I think it's a unique form of fantasy genre and storytelling in general, and if it's done well, it's really fantastic, unique and satisfying. What do you think? -

General Media Aaron Carter caught stealing copyrighted artwork
Jojo posted a topic in Media Discussion
I’ve been closely following this story on Twitter for quite some time. About a month or two ago, an artist by the name of Jonas Jodike, who has been an advocate for artist privacy rights, has been dealing with copyright based art theft for quite some time. Among the vandals is former Nickelodeon music star Aaron Carter. Here’s a screenshot of Jonas’ tweet that brought the controversy to the attention of Twitter Jonas has been fighting this battle ever since then. I hadn’t listened to any of Carter’s music since the Jimmy Neutron movie, and I had already heard his brother Nick filed a successful restraining order against him. Carter responded saying “You should’ve taken it as a compliment (BLOCKED) a fan of MINE sent this to me. oh here they go again, the answer is No this image has been made public and im using it to promote my clothing line guess I’ll see you in small claims court (BLOCKED)” And today I logged into Twitter and Jonas tweets that now Carter is using the stolen artwork as his profile picture. I think what Carter has been doing in this whole issue is immature and unprofessional. Any thoughts on this? -
