Dammit, Sheezyart

Hello, everyone. It turns out that there's even more Drama going on on Sheezyart than I thought.

First of all, everyone's apparently past the Eddsworld-'clone' hating, and have now moved on to just plain hating Eddsworld. And when I say everyone, I mean a noticeable amount of people, say... 65%. That's noticeable, no? I exaggerate too much.

I found this flash by 20thcore (a pretty talented artist); it's a screen capture of him scrolling through some comments on an Eddsworld parody by Breadfruit. The comments on this page are like: "lol" or "that's not very nice" or "finally". Now, I'm glad that the people with a conscience are nice enough to point out how unfair Breadfruit was and is being, but it just pisses me off how jerky some people can be on the internet.

Now this parody was about how little effort Eddsworld puts in certain pieces of work, and yet he still gets frontpage'd and lots of popularity. That's true to a certain extent, as, naturally, most artists will upload little pieces of work, and bigger pieces of work. Anyone with half a brain will know that artists have larger projects that they put a lot of work into and want a lot of people to see, and little doodley things that they uploaded just for fun.

The fact that people find it hard to get over is that Eddsworld gets a lot more attention than others for the work he does. These people don't understand why. That's fine. That is absolutely fine. But just because you don't get it doesn't mean you have to be SO DAMN OUT OF ORDER ABOUT IT. We don't need a frickin' song and dance and flash parody. WE DO NOT. This makes drama, and there are trolls here that will feed off that drama. That drama is LIKE CRACK TO THOSE TROLLS!


Now, Edd-hater. You may hate Eddsworld for his 'over-popularity', but he doesn't hate you. He doesn't publicly hate on anyone, he doesn't bribe anyone (to my knowledge), and he sure as hell doesn't use his fans to fight his wars for him. *COUGH*KayFed*COUGH*

So why the hell are you waging a war on someone who actually has nothing to do with it? It's the fanbase you don't like, so why the hell are you poking fun at him. It's not his fault.

NOTE: This is the point where I apologise to all the normal readers out there who feel a little bit offended for being implied to be apart of the same crowd as these trolls. Sorry. You're much smarter than these people.

Look. Eddsworld's style is a little shaky. (Mine's worse, lol). He's improving. You can tell he puts proper effort into his shorts. (LOL) I mean short flash cartoons. The reason why he's so popular is because his flashes have a certain charm that appeals to some people, but not others. They're funny. They're not Family Guy funny, but they're good for flashes. People like that.

And if for a second you think that the SheezyCast/Admins/Mods have anything to do with his 'insta-frontpaging'... you're right. The ones that like his flashes, rate them positively, just like everyone else.

Other amazing artists get overlooked, because the standard is A LOT higher for other genres like music and drawing. (not literature [on Sheezyart] but that's beside the point) Also, because of the charm, like I said before. Don't get me wrong, there are some AMAZING flashes on sheezy that run rings around Eddsworld's stuff. And unfortunately, they get overlooked from time to time. It sucks. I've been there. I am there (not the amazing bit, mind you). But the one thing you'll never catch me or anyone else who gets it doing, is moaning about it. Because that's the way of the world. You just have to accept it and move on with your life.

Instead of making another damn excuse as to why your work isn't making it. I have no respect for those kind of people.

*deep breath*

Right.

I'm out.
