And before you say, this is not tagged and wasnt supposed to reach people: It was edited shortly after the first criticism hit. Before this was a post open for discussion. Idk the exact tags anymore but it for sure was posted for people and not a private post.

You can have your quarrel with how Mr Puzzles later arcs are written. I have my quarrels with them. It was not my cup of tea, but that doesn’t give you the right to blatantly call out specific writers and say “Hey, it’s all their fault. This shit sucks. That writing is horrible.”

You can dislike a character arc and writing, but the second this starts turning into “it’s all this person’s fault” the fun is over. I know you’ll probably read this Dominic. This is not the first time you specifically targeted Starteas with your posts and I think it’s time for you to realize who is a real person and who isn’t. What you write can actually hurt people while a character acting different than you would have liked does not.

A whole damn post whose only goal is to dunk on a person’s writing who did their best with what they got and simply went with their own interpretation of Puzzles which didn’t suit your taste. That’s your reason for bashing a person? You think it ruined your favorite fictional character?

Allow me to introduce to you a concept I know you are very aware of because you are on Tumblr dot com: FAN CONTENT.

You don’t like the writing? Go do it yourself.

Go ahead, create a fic where you can live out your ideas of how Mr Puzzles should have been. Live them out. Literally nobody is gonna stop you. But I and others draw the line where a real person is being targeted over your own taste in writing. Apparently you’d rather whine and point fingers at a specific person you dislike for stupid reasons rather than go work and do it yourself.

SMG4 is over since MONTHS now. Move on. Oh and for being open for discussion you sure are quick to block people with a different opinion, aren’t you?

Don't be rude. Criticism is not going to someone and flat out saying their stuff is bad. That's bullying. That's unnecessarily targeting someone that has done nothing for you. Your opinions are your own, but Evan's writing is phenomenal. It was good enough to land him a job on the show. That says more than enough on its own.

In doing so, I want to stress that any harassment against the original poster should NOT be tolerated.

The point of calling it out was to recognise that this kind of rhetoric was bullying and insulting. Whether it was intentional or not. Especially when you directly single one person out.

Using the personal experiences of an artist to try and justify contentious fan discourse is also incredibly narrow-minded and very dismissive of the blog post's original purpose.

Let's not stoop to this behaviour. Set an example and rise above it. Be mindful of how you interact and think before you speak. Social media is not a empty void where what we say does no damage or has no consequences. If you treat it like one, you learn the hard way by the boat load. We all have a responsibility with our platforms.

If the OP does somehow find this post - You are a very talented artist and creative and wish you well in all your endeavours. Genuinely. It saddens me that this is our first interaction, but I also hope you will grow from this. I took the post very personally. Both as a former crew member of SMG4 and also as a close friend of Starteas. It was unwarranted. I hope if our paths cross again it will be on better terms.

All of you have a good one. Look out for each other!

But it's another thing when you start to bullying individuals for not meeting your personal expectations. Or worse, to harass them.

I don't think he'd like it very much.
