This isn’t a story about a client from hell, but I know for a fact that it is advice that comes from dealing with them.
When I was studying 3D animation and visualization, we did customer projects as a part of our education. For each project we had a tutor, someone who worked in the industry and knew the ropes. This is legitimately one of the lessons one of our tutors gave us:
Tutor: In our company, we have what we call an “Ugly Red Blob” method. When a design has been finalized, and it’s time to send it to the client for final review, the last thing we do is we add a big, red blob somewhere in the design. The client will look at the mock-up and say: “Okay, that’s good, but take out that red blob, it doesn’t work with the rest.” The client gets a feeling that they’ve contributed to the design in a significant way, and we can get on with our work, without the client trying to micro-manage every font and color.
In this photo you can clearly see both of Kirby’s hands!
In other words…
There is NO WAY Kirby could have taken a selfie!!
This post angers me to no damn end
These boys had the confidence to be SILLY, FUN, participate in a LIGHTHEARTED JOKE THAT MAKES THEM FEEL FUNNY AND CUTE (which they definitely are, by the way)
And some shitlord comes along with
"This is so funny because none of you are cute"
Excuse your crusty ass, these boys are adorable and dorky, and do not need your salty attitude on their post
They had the confidence to take these pictures, post them, add them to this chain, and basically have fun on this post because they wanted to, and it makes them feel cute because they are and deserve to be treated as such.
Do you even realize how much it fucking bites for someone to come and basically shut down your fun because they don’t like it, much less with others agreeing to it (and messaging you just to poke the bear with the metal stick because even looking like a sponge still doesn’t have enough pokes), and much much less on a fucking public social media site with THOUSANDS of notes on said post?? Because of that response and gif???
That isn’t ok at all.
I understand you’re mad about what men have done, what limited women’s rights, past and current events, I really do. They are horrible, and the rage you feel over them is fully deserved for everything girls and women have gone through.
But to shit on someone’s silly fun and confidence because of it, just to “crack a joke” by saying they aren’t cute, making it sound like they’re just stupid for ever participating in that post is never ok.
As tavrisprite said in the tags, y’all preach love and tolerance and yet pull shit like this out of nowhere.
What if they were females? Would it be ok then??
Actually, no, let’s not even go there because I shouldn’t need to pull the “what if” in order to see how much your comment fucking hurts.
Feel free to correct me on anything, but this is just a shit way to treat anyone, much less a small group of boys just acting cute, dorky, and generally having fun and enough confidence to join that silly post.
You don’t do that to anyone, ever.
*mic drop*
I’m so ready to be able to legally drink. only eating all these years has left me very thirsty. I have heard very good things about water
fun fact: the reason that the plural of goose is geese but the plural of moose is not meese is because goose derives from an ancient germanic word undergoing strong declension, in the pattern of foot/feet and tooth/teeth, wherein oo is mutated to ee. however ‘moose’ is a native american word added to the english lexicon only ~400 years ago, and lacks the etymological reason to be pluralized in that way.
If Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto) had written Lord of the Rings, not only would Sauron have retrieved the One Ring and regenerated his physical form to get in a fight with the Fellowship, but just as Aragorn awoke the power of his super-ancestor bloodline to turn the tables, Morgoth himself, the Tolkien-verse equivalent of Satan who was Sauron’s master and the oldest evil in the world, would have popped out, eaten Sauron to revive his dark energy, and took his place in the battle. Also the final fight would have lasted a solid quarter of the runtime in total, like there would have literally been an entire fourth book where they did nothing but fight Sauron’s various forms from sunset to sunrise without a collective breather.
