There was an old onne but it lagged some people's computers by needing to load a lot.
Either way; I'm not a fan of it either.
I know some people's comics are "kooky" and have been going on longer than others...but why are there the people with better quality art not getting as much recognition as someone with a few stick figures who is incapable of doing anything else?
Seriously, not to mention that it all involves timing with Tapastic for how many views/subscribers/likes you get...
yea~ sometimes i feel like its all about timing, on when you wanna post your new comic, that or always be in the Trending page. but y'know ive been a fan of some of the staff picked comics and i know that they prolly cant always have on person hunting through tapas 24/7
I also wish I had more patience. If I don't get decent views on my stories after three weeks, I have a tendency to take them down and delete my account.
It's not a good thing.
Oh lol, I thought this was the old thread. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets merged with it, but it'd be nice to start anew since the old one has hella posts.
Anyway, onto my complaints.
Y'all think artists who draw mlm don't feel insecure about their work amongst all the BL stuff too?
I think my stuff's out of place because it isn't all sparkly with pretty boys under 25 who have fluffy interactions.
My shit definitely ain't as marketable as most BL and I feel it so hard sometimes. 
New bitching thread huh? Regardless of what the mods decide to do with it, I just need to get something off of my chest.
Twice now I have failed my driver's license test which after the one I took today, I'm convinced its not so much me as it is how overly critical the DMV is when it comes to giving the test. I know this because when I've driven with my folks, I drive like a personal chauffeur according to them and I know for a fact I do too because of how much they hammered into my brain that I need to be a cautious and mindful driver above all else. And now that I'm on the subject of the DMV, I seem to recall now that when I took the "written" test (it was actually done on a computer, but whatever) several years ago to get my learner's permit, I failed it a few times before I finally did well enough to pass not because I didn't study, but because I'm simply not a good test taker. Period.
Anyway, after I failed (though I did better than last time), the lady refused to let me take another test until next freaking month which sucked because I wanted to have my driver's license so I could start driving myself to work and thus start working more hours and because I don't know when a family member from my dad's side will be able to come down here and sell me an old car of his he offered me at a good price since I also wanted to have my license by then since that was kind of the unspoken rule when we made a deal that worked out for both of us.
But I can have the last laugh now because I figured on the drive back that perhaps my mother was right when she said that maybe I'm not meant to be one of those people who drive and in fact, with how much of a drain on your finances it can be simply owning a car what with both insurance and a note you need to continuously pay off once a month, I reckon that I can simply save the money I had worked for at my real life job for both insurance and the aforementioned car and instead put a small portion of it towards Uber rides anytime I really want to go or need to go somewhere what with the internet making it easy to handle all your financial expenses online including yes, groceries. In the meantime, I can simply keep having my folks drive me to work since that's how its going to have be now that I know the DMV is very stingy about who they give a driver's license to.
tl;dr Giving up on getting my driver's license doesn't bother me in the slightest like it might have when I was younger since I know there are plenty of workarounds for not having your own car and honestly, its actually for the best all things considered the way I see it.
And on a side note, it puzzled me for the longest time how all these daredevils and general shitty drivers you see on the road were allowed to have a license (assuming its not an illegal one), but after today, I figured maybe they were actually role model students when they took their test, but after that, they decided to ditch the charade and go hog wild like they are in a Fast & The Furious film.
I actually failed the road test twice until my parents decided to take me to a small rural-ish town to get my license. They figured if my grandpa could get his license renewed there, I'm sure to pass. And I did.
I don't drive now for personal reasons but the license is definitely handy to have as an ID.
I passed the written test on 1st try- but failed the road test a numerous amount of times. I'd get nervous and make mistakes...by the time I did pass the road test, I was in my 20s, and was a lot more calmer/relaxed/reserved. I can drive well; I just dont test well at times.
I was shopping today and realized why I hate it.
I have an uncommon body type, and it sucks!
Like, I'm confident, and I think I look okay. But I have 'weird' proportions and because of that almost everything looks stupid on me. Because it just isn't tailored for my body.
The thing that makes me most mad is that I'll never be able to fix this issue because it's my skeleton's shape that doesn't work for our society's standards. It's not like gaining or losing weight will do anything for me. Not even surgery! 
The only solution would be dedicating my life to sewing and making my own clothes. Or become filthy rich and have my own personal tailor....
I know it's very "first world problems" to complain about this, but I just want to rock basic bitch fashion like everyone else.
I freaking hate people who play their music on full blast while grocery shopping. Also people who talk on speaker phone at full blast in small rooms.
I hate folks who listen to their music on their phone without headsets/earbuds on the public buses & train. Nobody wants to hear what you're listening to- fucking "look at me" attention whores.
I totally get how frustrating that is. Artistic vision is always going to grow faster than technical skill 
and it's easier to compare yourself to other people.
O_O really? I haven't heard anyone complain about that yet but I agree with you, niah146
I guess I want to complain about how my social media presence is next to nothing. While, I'm really grateful that I'm doing well on Tapas, I know that my social media presence else-where makes my reader count hard to maintain. I know that numbers aren't always an accurate indicator of the quality of work, but there's always that voice in the back that's asking if I'm doing something wrong.
You know the feeling when people say or do things to you and they act with such fakery but you can 100% surely right on the ball know exactly the intentions of their heart...
Their heart is screaming "fuck you I wish you'd just die you fucking subhuman filth! Where's Hitler when you need him to just throw you in the gas chamber... You waste of space and oxygen! The world's a better place without you!"
I dunno... Sometimes I prefer you just say it to my face directly... At least I can respect you for honesty... /sigh
Oh no, not again. The previous bitching thread was closed for a reason, can this one be dealt with too before things get out of hand?
I felt my heart sink when I saw this thread being revived. 
I feel so bad for the mods this week. I can imagine things have been rough for them.
This is a complain for a lot of people. My bf has a long torso (and he's 6'3) so we have to find the specific few shirts for them that look proper. For myself.... am very short, short torso with wide hips. No pair of pants will ever look good on me because I have to go up in overall size just to fit for my hips, then the rest of the damn thing is baggy and long pants legs because it seems to assume you get taller as you go higher in size. ) We can't really afford custom tailoring atm.
As @NickRowler very correctly pointed out, threads like these are no longer accepted in this forum, due to the negativity they bring along.
While it can be fun to discuss things that are annoying, a thread dedicated to only that without limitation will cause arguments and people being upset. Instead, let's focus on some positive things, as we have to deal with enough negativity in life already. You are here to enjoy your time and discussing with fellow creators!
Please continue to flag posts like this one. This is a busy forum and I may miss things otherwise.
