Potential Idea. Not a comic, but something a bit "different"

[DragonPena]

Freedom of speech, just remember to ask the author and if he/she says no.. Well that's it.

[LordFailure]

Gasp

Mind reader! What is this blasphemy?! Burn the heretic! Burn thine ass-hat!

[LordFailure]

But of course. Always gotta get that good ol' permission.

[Jrej]

That would be quite nice with a positive spin!
Maybe choose a comic and joke about something nice from their work.
I think in the end it's better to highlight what's good!

That's kind of a review as well...

[DragonPena]

I ponder if there might be a Tommy Wiseau here in tapastic, and by that I mean a creative mastermind whose work is underappreciated by us commoners without sufficient artistic visión.

[DragonPena]

@Jrej have you ever seen angryvideogamenerd or cinemasins.. Check, even pewdiepie talks about the mistakes of games.
Its not really a review, more like showcasing funny mistakes.

[LordFailure]

Positives are boring. Hardcore negativity with a dash of sarcastic cynicism is the new black.

[LordFailure]

AVGN is my trigger hnnnnnnng.

[Zanreo]

Cinemasins is pretty fun, and as long as the creator gives permission I don't see a huge problem (now if you just chose random comics without them even knowing, then we'd have more of a problem)

[abbastudios]

I vote no. Your examples don't live up to your stated purpose.

[LordFailure]

To each their own, good man, to each their own.

[abbastudios]

I'm sorry, you put this thread up to get feedback didn't you?

[AnnaLandin]

Personally, I don't really see this as something that would be worthwhile. The internet is a pretty negative place to spend time in as it is, and your idea would add absolutely nothing other than more negativity.

You say you're going to obtain people's permission - and that's good! - but honestly, I don't really see this as making any positive impact at all. I mean, people have a hard enough time already plucking up the courage to do something creative and sharing it with the world - with this bashing project around, they'll just get even more discouraged. Even when you're not directly bashing them. The internet has some big issues right now with being very unwelcoming (Gamergate, Reddit's recent meltdown due to the banning of hate-group subreddits, etc., etc.), and your idea is just contributing more to an atmosphere of negativity.

Critique is one thing, and certainly has its place in webcomics - and critique is allowed to be harsh when it needs to be - but you're not intending to critique. You're intending to bash, which is something entirely different, and I don't feel it really fits into the general atmosphere here on Tapastic. Tapastic stands out to me as one of the few genuinely positive and welcoming places on the internet - your idea runs very contrary to that.

Also, you seem to be responding to every "no"-post in this thread with the textual equivalent to flipping the bird at people. If you can't take the feedback, get out of the kitchen, was it?

[LordFailure]

Positive cannot exist without negativity.

Also that Reddit meltdown was quite the show to watch, I mean, it helped me discover so many wonderful subreddits I felt enlightened at that point.

I love stuff like MST3k and Retsupurae so I get what you're going for, but just showing someone else's page with a snarky comment seems a bit too low effort to me. I mean, you would accomplish the same thing by posting comments on that person's post.
That said, I don't have much of a clue what a comic version of MST would look like. Perhaps it would be more fitting to have it actually be in comic form, like superimpose your characters who are "watching" the comic in question and providing running commentary (like the MST "shadowrama"). In general I think you should look at providing more content than just a comment.

Oh yeah, also when you're shitting on someone else's content, you better be sure that you're really, really, REALLY effing funny, original, and humble. Parody and satire are nowhere as easy as they look, it's as huge as the difference between "Airplane!" and "Epic Movie".

[UzukiCheverie]

Big no. And before you go "to each their own" or "WELL I'M GONNA DO IT ANYWAY", then what's even the point of this thread? You've already started to piss some off, it's definitely gonna be no good if you decide to do an idea like this.

Bashing Hollywood films that get bashed every day but still make millions upon millions of dollars is so much different than bashing artists who are doing their comics either for fun, for money, or for whatever other reason they have. Last thing I'd want - even if it was out of jest - to see some guy strut about listing off faults with my comic, because then the COMMUNITY gets involved with it, and then eventually everyone just starts noticing the faults in the comics as they read more and more, and eventually give up. That's what I see happening. That's another difference between a Hollywood film and a webcomic - the film has finished, most people have seen it by the time they're watching the sins, so it's funny to go back and see what silly things they missed. Most webcomics are not finished - you've now put that air of "let's find what's wrong today!" into the readers' minds and they'll only read the webcomics to find what's wrong with it, which is not the intended purpose of reading a webcomic.

And trust me, once you get one reader going on it, you've got a whole bandwagon of them going on it. It's happened to me before, it's unpleasant, and really disheartening.

We've got a great community here at Tapastic and a lot of people - myself included - are pretty damn thankful that there aren't any toxic people in it that go after creators just to be mean or trolls or whatever. I highly doubt anyone would give you their permission to do that sorta thing (and you'd need their permission. No if's, and's, or but's about it).

So no. Big, big, BIG no. Don't even bother replying to this if you're just gonna say something like "WELL DURHUR GONNA DO IT ANYWAY", because again, then this whole "feedback" thread as you call it is just a "HEY LOOK AT WHAT I'M GOING TO DO AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, HUEHUEHUE" thread. In which case, you're not gonna last long here.

[LordFailure]

MMMMMM I love seeing (or in this case, reading) someone get fired up over something. Guess it's too late to call this off as an experimental social experiment, which it originally was.

But seriously this was a curious little experiment I originally conceived a while back. Research, you could say, for something else. I applaud all who inadvertently participated, hope no one got too booty-bothered.

[ghostnxs]

Taspastic is the nicest place on the internet I'd like it to stay that way

[LordFailure]

But of course. I had no actual intention of hurting or degrading the positive atmosphere of the community, this was just something I concocted to evaluate and gain some information from. I don't intend to go forward with anything I said, it was just a set up.

[ghostnxs]

Doesn't seem like it but either way its kind of messed up toying with people who think your serious its a bit obvious how people would respond. Also what study is concluded after receiving barely any participants and spils the beans? doesn't make sense to me.
