So after releasing the trailer, I got a lot of hate messages. Of course this is bound to happen considering the nature of the content, but I am not that amused by the variety of these 'critics'. I was expecting some logical reasoning on why they dont like something, but instead its some of the strangest comments ever - "You clearly hate technology, why dont you include PCs, tablets and TV as well??", "this is pure propaganda!!!", "My phone saved my life, how dare you make this?!?!", "Youre a retard, you will waste your life animating 10 episodes of such shit".

lol its still funny tho.

Hail to Estonia!
Well, even if it is "propoganda" or your "hate to tecnologies", I like it very much.
Such sort of people may be called "siga inimesed" you don't need to care about their opinions.
United in hate we stand and spread our vision of life.

The life-saving excuse could be a valid one, except for the strong fact that many have been horribly injured and outright killed as a result of smartphones being a major distraction for those who can't seem to walk or drive without constantly looking at them. "It saved MY life, so this is a horrible animation." Meaning, the lives lost because of smartphones are of no value to that particularly self-centered, coldhearted individual. Only he matters, and he doesn't like your cartoon. Yeah, fuck that guy.

Excellent point there. I guess its also fair to point out that the target of my trailer is the smartphone, not an ordinary cellphone that can do calls/text only (that I still use). So theres no real addiction on a phone without some internet access, but of course the dangers of distraction on the road is still very possible with just texting. I read somewhere that most deaths happen on the road in US and Europe.

If you weren't an asshole about it, I wouldn't care. It's not like you were trying to make an interesting point or anything, it was you antagonizing people who use cell phones deliberately. You can pretend it wasn't, but how can you make 3 cartoons about phones being the devil and still be like "guys, i don't hate phones lmao". You don't want to listen to opinions, that's fine. Just don't act like your being attacked for no reason. You know what you're doing.

I was initially confused about why you said what you said in your response to my review but this post basically sums it up. Instead of trying to basically put down people who are genuinely trying to give you constructive criticism, you should try to atleast recognise the difference between constructive advice and downright hate.

How else do you expect to get better if you keep pushing criticism away?

And yes, I intended my review to be constructive, I'm sorry you took it the wrong way. I've seen this same reply from you from another guy and I gotta say it's really immature

So this is constructive advice? "Main fall down is the writing though. You should definitely have other people look through your scripts before you make 'em into a full animation, because it's really hurting the general flow of everything." Please learn what constructive means before reviewing something, and again seeing your art/work history does not reflect your credibility very well at all.

@LiterallyGarbage @Ant0on I don't need to be Richard Williams to give criticism, anyone can see what's wrong with something. The review I gave was constructive because I told you what you need to work on and how you should go about doing it.

I'm not the first one to fall victim to these immature replies and you're not helping yourself by making them. Please learn to take criticism, it goes such a long way.
