Oh I'm sorry, I was under the impression that people who are making entertainment for others want their audience to enjoy their shit, otherwise they aren't successful entertainers?

Yes, I am in fact going to "fuck off and watch something else" - my point is that if you're making something that people aren't going to watch, how are you meant to keep an audience? How are you being entertaining?
you know what? i don't like LP's where the player edits out all of the deaths/Game Over's. i don't like speedruns, either. and yet, both of those things aren't exactly uncommon. i find them fucking boring, but someone else may enjoy them. evidently someone does enjoy them otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them. its all a matter of perspective. you can't tell people what they do and don't like. you may not find them 'entertaining', but someone else out there might.

Ripping a work to pieces isn't going to help anyone who isn't willing to take criticism.
no no, ripping a work to pieces could knock back their confidence. there is a difference between 'ripping someone's work to pieces' and giving constructive criticism.

do you really think that totally ripping into someone's work is going to help them? that they'll actually take your advice while you're pretty much embarrassing them? the hell do you say to people who ask for your opinion on their work?

I guess I misinterpreted that part. It's still a retarded excuse for refusing criticism though.
can you read my posts correctly? would you like some help? did i fucking say that its an excuse to refuse criticism? no. no i didn't. if anything, showing someone your own work may actually benefit them. do you see the point i'm trying to make here? i'm saying that there is no reason for them to not ask for your own work, its nothing to do with using that as an excuse to refuse criticism. like i just said, it may help them if its any good.

I guess I've made my point.
that you're a stupid fucking cunt who can't make sense of arguments? yeah. you've well and truly made that point.
