Not the most mature response from those complaining about the lack of maturity around here. XD
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.

EPIC!
I love this book. I would say I need this in real life, but only to help me. I do not post anything mean towards anyone unless they have TO'd me.

Also: Please stop getting butthurt about constructive criticism some artists, because of people making huge stinkfests from getting a bit of constructive crit. I can't get ANY when I want it :/

I love this not just because of recent events, but because as an artist myself I've occasionally been on the receiving end of NON-constructive criticism. I love having my stuff critiqued, and I think it's a helpful tool for improving myself as an artist, and I certainly don't mind if people don't like something I make or draw... they're entitled to that and everyone likes different things. That doesn't mean, though, that they have the right to be mean and rude about it, and even if it's just over the internet, and even if it's something that you can just... not respond to and ignore, it still hurts when someone makes a rude comment like that to you. I'm not an overly sensitive person, but I still think that there is no reason to be rude or verbally abusive in critique.</blockquote>

Or pick it up, sell it to me and at least profit from it, if not enjoy the hilarity of it.
But really people, come on! This is not an item drawn to be a malicious act, it's an item (a free one at that, remember) drawn for a little satirical humour. Don't get your panties in a twist because someone's having a little fun.
Let's all be as grown up as possible and thank the artists for their brilliant hard work.

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" />)
but what i find highly annoying are the pictures with lines drawn "it should look like this" as if the artist was totally incompetent - which, what we all know, they're not.

If you feel targeted by the item then perhaps you should think about what you say, because obviously that means youre thinking about how it effects people.

I think everyone who is feeling anger right now due to this book should look at images of obscenely cute animals: http://cuteoverload.com/

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.

Holy crap, you guys. Arguing over somethin' liek that just made me lol : ) Anyways, I thought the book was absolutely brilliant.
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.
Also, since when has staff been neutral? There are plenty of items based off of drama from users and events related to Subeta. For example:

To the artist that made this item: you are made of absolute awesomeness. You just made my night <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
I think I'm going to need to hoard these. The sheer amount of stupidity in these news posts alone gives me quite a good start on my list of who to send these to.
And, if you feel targetted by the item, perhaps a little introspection is needed.
In the end, you're only 1/100 000 of Subeta. Make the 1/100 000 of Subeta you are using worthwhile. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

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.

"Someone got butthurt over someone saying they didn't like their art. "
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.

Honestly, the book was meant as a joke. Enough people have been able to tell that it was a <i>joke</i>. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" /> We often release items that relate to what has happened directory on subeta, and this book is one of them. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_xface.gif" border="0" />
OK this is funny <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
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.
so sending this to someone. <img src=http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/i/m/imhappyplz.gif border="0">
lolWOAH, how'd this turn into drama? XD;;;
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

Wow I love how people only have memories that go back one incident.
The consistent rudeness of many users to all Subeta staff clearly does not apply here!

The reaction to this proves the point as to why this free gift was even made =) Way 2 back up reasoning!
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. Can we just remember that none of us are perfect and let this thing die already? <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
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.

or, if you can't voice why you dislike art without being a rude jackass, you should refrain from commenting. It goes both ways. Just because someone is paid to do art does not mean they should be subjected to some of the bullshit comments people make...

Actually, someone said they'd like to strike the artist responsible for the latest revamp, which is why the book is how to GIVE criticism, not how to TAKE criticism.

@Dirnt, are you serious? Have you SEEN some of the things said to artists? There IS no 'neutrality' here. There's the simple fact that you do NOT threaten to physically harm a staff member, merely because you don't like a piece of art they did.
