User blog:Bluedramon/On Sonic.exe and Negative Reviewing

Bit of a rant.

One thing that annoys me is when someone takes negative reviewing to a whole new level. They aren't content with just giving a creepypasta a negative review; they go as far as create a video dedicating to tearing it a new one and act like a "sarcastic bastard" and want to "make the creepypasta their bitch".

Yes this has happened, involving someone I used to enjoy watching videos of. For privacy reasons, I won't mention what his name is. When he posted up his anti-Sonic.exe video, I can't really stand watching more of his videos. It's not because he doesn't like Sonic.exe; I just felt it was bad of him to make the video in the first place.

Maybe I'm overreacting. Still, I feel going that far was just not the best of ideas. This isn't like criticizing a movie that has had a ton of people working on it. Creepypastas make no money, so they are written out of fun, enjoyment. And to tear into someone's work like that, especially if they worked hard on it, I feel is in bad taste.

I feel Mutahar's approach is better. Even in the pastas he doesn't like, he is never that harsh and has even explained how he feels the pasta he talked about could be better.

My point: If you don't like a creepypasta, that's fine. But you don't have to "make the creepypasta your bitch" and create a video dedicated to that.

I do apologize if I offended anyone.
