User blog comment:Silver-Haired Seireitou/Something to Say/@comment-25288193-20140515014332

I have something to say and have been wanting to for a while now. Being on this site for not even a user yet has already shown me how bad a wiki can get. How quickly it can go downhill. Now, I am in no way taking Sei's or anyone's word for how the past of the site was nor am I discrediting their views. I only want to ask this.

Why do we have to argue with each other about what is a good piece of work and what is a bad one?

As a wiki, I honestly believe that users should have their own work for themselves. As much as I favor the application policy, I am not oblivious to its extremely obvious flaws. Additionally, the application has lead to others gaining a feeling of superiority over others entirely because their application got approved over someone else's. I'm completely tired of all this bickering of "characters are too overpowered", "I will make a decent character", and "I can make a character that can kill yours". I have one thing to say to all of that:

Shut the hell up

I can say, with confidence, that 90% of us on this site don't give two shits about somebody making an overpowered character. The same goes for making "decent" characters, and characters that are made solely for flaunting their power. This doesn't matter in the slightest. No matter what you write, it will be just that. Writing. Words on an internet page. It doesn't make you impressive or superior. It only shows that you went to school, like the rest of us.

"I got an approved application!"

That's great, you want a cookie? This is what I've wanted to say to all those who have bragged, be it subtly or obviously. Just shut up and write. No one will be impressed by your ability to write words.

That's all I really have to say here. If any of you reading this feel like it was directed towards you, it probably is. So feel free to get mad and insult me. In the end, you're only getting mad at words on a screen.
