Harsh criticism and harsh motivation accomplishes things when the strong, able minds, not the excessively weak and feeble ones, LISTEN. I don't beleive it accomplishes "nothing", I think a good kick in the face wakes people up to what they could live up to, not just in this community, but anywhere else where they are in a posistion to make changes.
I usually stay OUT of these threads, but that's because most of the time we don't have a great project hanging over our heads. I want this fandom to prove itself with that project, we shouldnt be wasting our time posting dumbell threads like this. This is what the documentary is trying to AVOID, and we DISGRACE it.
As for posting new threads that would try a positive approach? Yes, let's break down how that went down.
1. I've had to fight tooth and nail to get people to send me and my partners videos for the documentary. Even before Canadian announched his project, I was going nowhere with the help. Half-assed promises, unfulfilled obligations, it became so routine I abandoned that thread until Canadian started posting.
2. When my artist for my TMNT comic, something that would be produced for that documentary, got bitch-slapped by problems in life, I asked for help and DIDNT get it. After I specificly said "Can I have a long-term commitment", one a-hole even said "I'm too lazy"....was he thick or something? Maybe, I don't know what this fandom considers a priority...probably if I asked them to lick an ice cream for five minutes for charity, they'd rather discuss how long a Turtle would lick the ice cream...
sexually.
I have TRIED to play it postively Krang, but the reality is is that this doesnt work in a shallow, empty, and unmotivated fandom that is content with having a nice period of activity, then returning to the levels of unparalelled obscurity, much like the franchise itself.
I've since had to hold back my online comic until Raven is better off than he currently is, but he too shares my frustrations and I'd rather keep a project with someone who can and will do it than someone who never will and waste my time.
I'm not blowing anything out of proportion, I'm telling you the truth. This fandom needs a good kick in the balls. Fact.
