Agreed. This thread has been super depressing to read.

Just ignore it Shanesg. There are still a lot of good posters here.

It is unfortunate that negativity is what a lot of people like.

Yes. We were/are wrong to expect every product to be great. We live in a world of mediocrity and we should learn to accept it. Don't try to raise people to that bar, just lower that bar.

In all seriousness, this forum doesn't seem like it has changed much in the 3 years I've been posting, nor the years before when I just browsed.

By entitlement I mean that we expect every product to be specifically geared towards our own aesthetic. Don't twist my words

Is opinion being mistaken for negativity? If people don't like something, telling you why shouldn't be a negative. If you are spewing negative comments for the sake of being a troll that's another problem.

I think it's more frustration than outright negativity, it is for me anyway.
I was really looking forward to seeing Lion-O, the new Batman PF and this new Ivy and they have all been massive disappointments so I vent my frustration on this public forum that is I'd assume here to discuss, praise and critique statues.

I'd much rather people say, oh her boobs or her booty aren't big enough. But to keep saying she's too muscular she looks like a tranny is just all kinds of wrong. Some times opinions don't need to be shared

Eh, I think the piece is different and there's nothing wrong with that. I like it more than the last one. I think people are free to say why they do or do not like it but don't try to convince me. State your claim and move on.

It's like The Last Jedi, people keep trying to make me like it and I never will so stop trying. Move on, enjoy the movie and let me be.

I was raised differently. There is a way to state your personal dissatisfaction with a piece without putting off someone that may feel the piece is the bees knees.

I am glad you like it

So we should censor our opinions of statues because someone may not agree? I wholeheartedly disagree with any sentiment remotely resembling those lines. I have said I like this statue, but am curious as to their art direction. Everyone else's opinions are equally valid.

I'm pretty sure the point of this forum is to discuss statues. Are we going to narrow it down to only positives? If you dont like a statue, please, let the hate flow through you. If the general majority doesn't like a statue, maybe a company will fix it or take those critiques to heart for the next one. Prime One has fixed quite a many issues because of reactions from the statue community, and each time the piece was better for it.
