Now, were you to approach him with a transcribed copy in-hand, you'd be doing him a favour, which he'd only spurn if he genuinely hates his target audience. Artists that take that stance can all go die in a fire, since they've no will to improve or learn and will only drag others down with them. It remains to be seen which road the Foxx will take, but he should at least get the chance to prove that there's a reasonable human being somewhere within.

Couldn't he just use the text from the script? Unless those two were freeforming...something had to be written down.

Re: Very Surprised No One Has Mentioned Much About Sapphirefoxx
Okay, cards up.
I want to make it perfectly clear that I despise unreasonably belligerent artists. Hate 'em with every fibre of my being. However, I'm also willing to admit that - when I give nothing to better their lives other than occasional commentary - said artists are within rights to tell me to piss up a rope. That doesn't mean I have to appreciate the attitude, but the ultimate point is that the non-paying public has very little impact on an artist's personal life. Van Gogh - bad metaphor aside - wasn't really appreciated until after he died. Quote:

Hehe, I know what you mean :P
EDIT: Back on topic, whose to say that the people wanting text aren't the same people that are donating (paying) for these? Sounds like a case of "I don't care, I got your money already."

Further, it's possible that some people use multiple identities for different purposes, but odds tend to be against that. My point is this: if he doesn't produce what you want now, and you're not going to help him do it, why the hell would you pay him money???

So soon he is just appealing to a minority. Artist integrity is just another term for stubborn. An artist that doesn't take realistic feedback from his audience isn't an artist ... he is an asshole.

I agree with you that an artist shouldn't be forced to accept all criticism. Caring too much about destructive criticism is abysmal to an artist's morale. However, I feel as though an artist should acknowledge all CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Because most of the time, constructive criticism is about making things better for greater enjoyment. However, artists that follow your mindset like to use the block functions of the internet to create a magic criticism-free bubble, entirely void of progress or self-improvement because they think that anyone who tells them there's something wrong with their work is just a stupid hater who wants them to die. Now, I'm not saying an artist has to USE all constructive criticism. Someone writing a gritty detective story shouldn't listen to critics who want it to be a lighthearted romantic comedy starring a pansexual overweight black woman. But an artist should still acknowledge all criticism and think about if it would improve their work. The same way viewers should be critical of the media they enjoy, artists should be critical of the media they create. However, sometimes it's really hard to notice a flaw with something until someone else points it out to you. Hence, critics. TL;DR: Not all criticism is valid but that doesn't mean all criticism is invalid. |

When an artist has made it clear that they do not value criticism that doesn't mollycoddle them, why waste your time? There are other people far more deserving of your attention, than a lone artist who's only going to write off everything you have to say as petty vindictiveness that seeks to crush his vision. TL;DR: This kind of artist isn't worth the time.

Re: Very Surprised No One Has Mentioned Much About Sapphirefoxx
I think that mentality is even worse. "Don't like something about this artist? FUCK EM!! Just ditch them forever. Don't ever talk about them again or talk about why you don't like them!" Like, yes, if I spent a metric fuckton of my time rallying against someone over subtitles for internet videos, then you'd have a point. But this isn't something I'm passionate about, it's just something I felt like talking about because someone else brought it up. I made that poll checking to see what other people thought just for my own curiosity, I wasn't going to turn it into some sort of movement.

Re: Very Surprised No One Has Mentioned Much About Sapphirefoxx
Re-read what I said and take a step back.
It's not something I dislike about his particular attitude, it is - in point-of-fact - everything. When an artist decides to be passively-aggressive towards every critical post, it's time to find a new artist. Don't think I ever said you shouldn't decry such idiotic behaviour, simply that I don't understand why you'd waste your breath.
