Is this thread supposed to be a sarcastic game thread oooor...? Like my god looking at some of the FIRST PAGE REPLIES JESUS. Idk maybe there really was alot more mean people back in the day but, wow.
That said, some of the people here have posted... not such great advice. Or maybe that advice hasn't stood the test of time idk. Yes there will be mean people, yes there will be people who simply do not like your
v i b e s (cough me) and yes it really does seem like chibi art style gets EATEN UP here (eaten up as in frequently bought compared to all the other lovely art styles that are featured in the museum shop) but I think some people are blowing those things out of proportion. Except the chibi thing. That isn't out of proportion.
This forum overall has lots of nice people who can engage in 'touchier' topics in a civil way instead of outright being a butt like in other places. Yes there will be those people who are being a butt however you gotta admit it takes a couple of posts. Compare that to somethin like Twitter, full of toxic people ready to start chaos at a moment notice over somethin so stupid and insignificant.
As for actual advice, do NOT come into a thread about a certain 'touchy' topic and derail it with your negative opinion. If you don't agree with that topic there a little somethin called ~ignoring it and moving on with your day~. It really is so annoying when someone makes a thread about somethin and others come in saying 'you're wrong the game is like this I don't support your topic'. It's called imagination and open ended stuff. Not everythin is set in stone. Let people have these things, cause what ends up happening like every. Single. Time. Is that someone says somethin that goes directly against the thread and a bunch of 'drama' starts and the thread has to get closed. Every time. Which is why those threads don't stay popular. If you go into a thread like that people will call you out.
One thing I see newer members do alot is bumping really old threads. Like, 2015 old. Which is technically not a problem unless they bump the 'wrong thread', like a thread asking for advice. You really think that member still needs that particular advice YEARS later? Do you really think that member is still active on tbt? It's really just a pet peeve of mine but still.
Last one, which relates to someone's overall character, people will take notice if you act childish in a bad way. They will notice if you constantly bring down others in threads. They will notice if you make negative threads all the time. I certainly do not mean when someone posts in the 'What's Bothering You' thread alot. They can do that. What I mean is when someone makes thread after thread or post after post of 'this is whats wrong with your thing' 'everything wrong with *subject*' or you straight up complain about a common topic others talk about and call those people ride things, even if dummies.
TL;DR don't say somethin that directly goes against a thread that's supposed to be a positive space. Y'alls know what kind of threads I'm talking about. Please LOOK at what thread you're bumping and see how old it actually is. Don't call people rude things.
