my opinion on the topic is simple- people will fav what they want
now i'm not saying that people don't auto-fav for friends, because it's obvious that it does happen- but
what you need to consider is someone's effort into whatever they tried to accomplish. I will always fav doujinshi
if it is the artist's interpretation of what they were doing- I think that if someone was trying, and improving,
that they deserve recognition.it is the users right to fav whatever they want to,
irregardless if you don't think it is good enough Perhaps that piece had something which meant something to
the viewer, something you did not see? Who knows- you must consider both sides of the arguement here.
Now, one thing which really bothered me was someone whining in the SB about not getting enough favs on their newest
submission. NAturally I checked it out, and although it was good- I did not want to fav it, a simple message was all I
wanted to show... The thing is when you look at this: Do fav's really
matter? it seems that we think that the only 'good' walls/doujinshi/submissions have hundreds of favs,
the thing is: Minitokyo is not a popularity contest. I believe one of the most
refreshing parts about MT is coming across one of those fabulous pieces which has not been credited enough, one from a
new MT'er or someone not on your list- it makes this site worthwhile.
When did everyone start assuming that since their wall is best it should have more favs? I'm not saying that you
didn't work harder- longer- or thaat you haven't the talent for hundreds of favs- but all i'm saying is
that you shouldn't be submitting your art here for an ego boost- it should be to
develop, create, educate and grow. That's why i'm here, and surely why you came in the first
place.
There is a difference between a 5-minute wall and an OK wall... first thing first, how is a new waller supposed to
exchange comments and critiques with MT'ers and develop if their art cannot be viewed? I'm not at all saying
that we should allow crappy submissions of poor quality- not at all- but we do need to think back to the times when we
first started- and how the words from fellow peers encouraged us to grow as artists... thats all.
