Looks Like A 5-year-old's Moc

Why do people seem to think that it's EVER OK to say this or something remotely similar? I don't care if it's about an official BIONICLE product or an MOC-- to say this is to insult anyone who worked on this (unless, of course, they are less than five years old, in which case it means you're impressed).

 

Of course, it's worthy of note that people tend to say this of either official sets, or MOCs that LEGO has showcased somewhere other than BZPower. Why? Obviously, because if a person doesn't post it on BZPower, they don't deserve any respect. Who came up with that crazy idea?[/sarcasm]

 

People need to get it into their heads that set designers and offline BIONICLE fans are people too. Sets and contest-winning entries aren't designed by some computer program that generates a random combination of parts-- they're designed by people that put work into making them look just right. And just because you're a master of BIONICLE sculpture (and most people, even some of those who make this type of accusation, aren't) doesn't mean that anything below you is effortless, juvenile trash. Rant over.

It's my understanding that the reason that there aren't set designers around on BZP like there are story and web people is because people here are vicious to them, and they'd just rather not deal with it. *shrugs*

YAY CAT TYPING

 

And yeah, the rudeness could really turn anyone off. I think part of the problem is the number of younger members here, and the number of older members who can't get it into their heads that they're responsible for setting an example. If you're going to criticize a set, give it constructive criticism. When people just say "it sucks" or some other whiny insult it becomes the new fashion, and the kids think it's OK.
