Is NG always this negative? I wish the people who write reviews for the animations were the same people who made them. I haven't worked on a cartoon for about a month now, but I have plans for a 5-10 animation. The storyboard is being drawn, and I'm even considering rotoscoping for a smoother animation, but the story is sad, dark and speaks out against injustice, and I have serious doubts that people here can understand or appreciate it. I used to think that these negative people were just trolls, but I fear the possibility that these people really are as angry, hateful, ignorant and unappreciative as they appear.
I didn't draw this, but I think it communicates the message well:

Why is it that whenever someone says something you doon't want to hear, they must be angry, hateful, ignorant and unappreciative trolls? They most of the time speak the truth about the flash. Even though it may come out as (this is only an example, I'm in no way calling you out on your stuff) "It's crap. You seem to shade random areas on the person for no reason. There are so many glitches in this flash that I bet $20 that you never even tested to see if it worked." They actually are pointing out the problems even though they aren't offering ways to better your stuff. There are lots of people here who like mature stories, it's just these same people also like the stories to have good animation to go with it.
TL;DR: No.

I'm not saying that these people are trolls, and I do recognize the difference between constructive criticism and unnecessary rudeness. What you've pointed out is very true, but if someone doesn't like something as insignificant as misuse of shading, they don't need to rate it 4/10. Someone once gave me a zero on one of my cartoons because they didn't like the ending. =(
