This book is epic fail.
I'm not going to give a reason why, I'm just going to flame you and them complain about you having an opinion.
And yes, before anyone flames me, that was a joke.

At everyone being snarky about the item.
Do you think they would make the item if there was only a little nonconstructive criticism?
Look back at some of the old news post with revamps, item releases, whatever. Getting shot down is not very encouraging, is it? I think they are entitled.

Why are people getting all worked up over a book?
There's no need to get offended because of it. It's just for fun. I love seeing that at least most of the subeta users have a sense of humor <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />
But Seriously, there is a HUGE difference between whining like a spoiled brat and acting like the adults we all should be and giving constructive criticism. It's just pretty pixels, there is no reason to explode over something.
The staff love hearing our opinions about things here as users. They care about us and show us respect, so why can't we all just do the same?
This is an awesome book though! Kudos to the artist! <3

Constructive criticism is allowed. It always was, it always will be.
Back when I was on staff, I liked users telling me what I did wrong. It helped me improve. This is why I love the userbase, we can rely on most of them to criticize politely. While I was not an artist, I worked with users daily, and I liked having them give me feedback on what I did.
This is something I still want to see, a questioning userbase, users that have enough faith in Subeta to tell the staff than they disagree and especially WHY they disagree. I want to see it now, as another user.
I don't want to be on a petsite populated with thoughtless sheeps, or rebels to anything, that will disagree with everything staff say, because they feel like it.
Right now, Subeta is nowhere near that. And, I sure am glad it ain't that way.

Opinions and constructive criticism are always welcome. If not, the news comments would be closed since a long time ago.
Insulting, being a whiny brat, bashing an artist =/= opinions.

sorry, but that is something i can understand. it's mostly written in the heat of the moment and maybe regretted a little later.
when i see revamps i don't like i say nothing as a lot of people like them and as i didn't like the pets anyway (and my pets haven't been revam,ped so far - don't know how i would react <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />)

And if your complaints are "beyond constructive criticism", shut your mouth, nobody wants to hear it, you'll only make yourself look like an asshole. If you're going to say something, AT LEAST say how you believe the piece of art in question could be better for you.
NOT "oh my god my pet is completely ruined, the artist who revamped my poor pet ought to be keelhauled. Change it back RIGHT NOW!"
We don't need spoiled little shits around :/

I think this is abit cruel itself, the person probably already feels bad and having so many people getting at them would be hard to deal with itself. proper constructive criticism = this book is not. People need to learn to not react when someone says something that could sound cruel/mean and not be hurtful back.

"I must say I can't stand people who winge for "constructive crit" all the time when... sometimes your crap is just BEYOND that."
There is absolutely no reason to ever be a complete asshole. You know, 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it all.' I really don't care if you hate something so much and can only think of poor things to say about someone's work, just don't open your mouth. Don't debase someone just because you can.

THIS JUST IN: Users are allowed to scream obnoxiously at staff about what terrible people they are, and how their awful disgusting art completely destroyed their favorite pet.
But staff are not allowed to defend themselves in any way, OH NO, that's abusing their power and being tyrants! Users are allowed complete freedom (and abuse) of speech, but staff, as they are staff and are far separate from us users, ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VOICE THEIR OPINIONS.
You people amaze me.

I must say I can't stand people who winge for "constructive crit" all the time when... sometimes your crap is just BEYOND that.
Also, when people complain that "you should always add in something nice to balance it out!" I'm sorry, what? This is a moral quirk, not a necessitty.
Now, importantly, before I get flamed to hell, this is just a general comment and has nothing to do with the issue that actually caused the need for this item... just the general overuse of the phrase!

I wish books on Subeta were actually READABLE. Many users could benefit from learning a thing or two about constructive critique.

Dirnt. We decided to have users block someone before warning for harassment because we felt it was the best solution to an ongoing problem, not because we wanted to be cruel. Handling harassment on a case-by-case basis wasn't working.
Now, please remain on-topic - which would be in regard to the item.

Dirnt the only people that should feel insulted by this book are the people that cannot tactfully voice their opinion about art. Why are you getting so worked up about something that wasn't even directed at you?
Or are you one of THOSE people...?

What I hate the most is when people say "bawww, it's just criticism, get over it and get used to it". CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is always a great and useful thing. When you offer no advice on how to improve the artwork, and instead devote your comments to simply bashing it and complaining about it, that's hardly constructive. Nobody needs that. You're 100% allowed to dislike or even hate a new pet or item, but outright insulting it and/or the staff, like a git, brings everyone down, especially the artists I would bet.

hi there's a difference between 'i don't like this' and 'omg this sucks who's the dumbass who hired you you ruined my favourite pet BAWWWW SOMEONE FIRE THIS TERRIBLE ARTIST.' therefore - 'constructive criticism, learn it.' <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />

Come on now. I think this item is very much needed. Hell, it doesn't even have to BE about the one isolated comment, but several building up as a whole. Yes, it is most likely the recent comment may be the reason the making of the item, but that doesn't mean much. Admit, that even if this was released at a different time, people would still feel the need to complain it was because of a different event.

Okay, fine. One more. But just because I couldn't resist. To the tone of "Cruelty, verbal abuse, and such, has no place on Subeta. It's the message this item is getting across," I just had to point out the utter hypocrisy and complete invalidity of that statement on this site. In case you have forgotten, this is the ONLY popular pet site that basically said "lol, if someone is an ass to you, just block them! We won't warn people for insulting or harassing you unless they find a way around the block and keep attacking you!" Apparently, staff don't warn you, but rather make an item to insult you. It's reminiscent to the situation with cpvr, which I regret supporting at the time.

I kind of thought of it like "How to Clean Fanboys"... you know, just kind of poking fun at some of the things you find in fandom communities. But taking it seriously.. that's like admitting you're a gross smelly fanboy. XD; (Which is your own fault, because anyone can be a clean fanboy, and anyone can put thought into good criticism, so it shouldn't offend anyone who's willing to try.)

Just for the record. Being petty /=/ defending someone you care about.
In any case, the item is great and I read it to Ankokutairiku, who will now be capable of properly critiquing art should he need to. xD

Has anyone bothered to talk with this poor girl, because I have and she feels very badly about making the comment. I am pretty sure she didn’t mean it literally when she said she wanted to slap the artist’s face.

Oh, no, hun. I read it.
But who DREW it is pretty darn irrelevant. The idea still stems from the same place, especially since the person who did draw it is undoubtedly affiliated with the person(s) insulted. But good job on ignoring the rest of my post just because of that. I pretty much expected your response to be something like that.
But I'll let you alone to your worshippers not before I get smacked with a warning just for not being a sheep. :3

Well, since you asked my dearest Gunblade.
This item basically translates into "B'awwww! Some jackass on the internet was mean to me! So let me abuse my power as an artist on the site to create an item specifically for the purpose of publicly demeaning them!"
You can argue that the need for this item has been building up over the years, but really, we know why it was drawn and put out, and for staff to be that petty is just unacceptable in my eyes.
