I am so relieved to know Nintendobo didn't win. It wasn't entertaining for me at all. It just makes you uncomfortable. I don't understand the appeal of depressing noir videos, or whatever you want to call them.
That is being incredibly rude to it's creator.

Philistine.

SAGS is going to be awesome. The rest.. well, I'll let CCM surprise me, but I got enough tabletop roleplaying goofiness in real life, don't need another series about it. All very well produced though.

That alone would have been the correct response.

Do not manufacture a conflict. Clearly, your the threatened one friendo.

You insulted well made work in a post without any constructive criticism.

Whatever you choose to say to me in response will not receive a damn thought or reaction on my part. So don't waste your words unless it's an apology to the creator of the video.

Sometimes criticism can't get much more constructive than "it wasn't entertaining". You can't go and blast a person for hating what is obviously a controversial piece of work. The creator of Nintendobo already took the risk of putting the video on the site knowing it would probably garner some hate, so there's no need for you to demand apologies because someone expresses a negative opinion.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion and constructively criticize or just criticize with specificity, even if that criticism is outright negative. Personally, I think it was well done, though if it kept that depressive of a mood I can't say I'd watch it.

Funny thing: I'm not really sorry. I would say it again. You quoted me because you don't like my opinion, then personally insulted me for it. Then you expect me to apologize? Piss off.

Nothing I said personally insulted the author. Deal. With. It.

Also: You have an a passive-aggressive personality, so I'm glad you won't respond, because I hate dealing with your type. I am not sorry.
I think you misquoted, I didn't say what you quoted. I was on your side.

Thank you... I think. Concerning being constructive, I said it made me uncomfortable. I could put up an illusion of constructiveness by rephrasing the sentence "you could have made it a bit less uncomfortable for us to watch". But it's the same message with the same meaning. I don't have to start off a sentence with "you could" or "you should have" to make it constructive. It is what it is.
Specific criticism implies how it could be constructively changed, just make sure the person understands what you think they're doing wrong.
