And another thing, I'm freaking sick of people posting videos to scans_daily. I mean, the community was founded for homoerotic crap, then it started to open up to comic art in general, but now it's become this big garbage dump where members just post whatever useless shit they have on hand. CGI pornography? Post it to scans_daily! YouTube video from some cartoon no

Comments

I, for one, would welcome a non scans_daily comic scans community. Not because I have a wealth of stuff to contribute, but because I actually occasionally buy things based on scans I read off there. I just get tired of having to sift through days and days worth of 'this is so gay!' before something worth-while shows up.

Oh, and the homophobia thing

Uh yeah, the "homophobia thing." Because heaven forbid that someone not like a kind of humor because it's gotten old. No, that couldn't be it. They clearly just hate all gay people.

I wouldn't either if people would somehow infer that I have an irrational prejudice against doors.

Not that your comparison makes any sense anyway--your point is that if Mike doesn't like scans_daily he shouldn't complain in scans_daily. Well, he didn't complain in scans_daily; he complained in his own journal.

Maybe you shouldn't read s_d. You don't like the slashy core aspect of it, you don't enjoy the commentary, and every time you have anything to say about it here, it just seems to get you worked up to no satisfactory result. Just doesn't seem like your cuppa. Seriously, do put together your own community. The lack of photomanips and vids would be a plus so far as I'm concerned.

Don't think I won't try to push Elfquest in under the radar, though.

Also, a 'members may post content no more than twice a day' rule would be nice.

See, this is what I'm saying. You don't have to agree with my tastes to appreciate that SD's a flawed community. I'd gladly tolerate an Elfquest Week if it meant I didn't have to endure "Dan Didio Sucks Year" or "Prove Batman's Gay" Century.

Of course s_d is flawed; there is no perfect lj comm, or perfect messageboard, or perfect human being for that matter. The only issue is if you can appreciate s_d for what it is, warts and all. Because if you can't, why stay? What's the point in subjecting yourself to something that brings you no pleasure? Leave, make your own comm, do whatever. Or if you're determined to stick with s_d, be part of the change you want to see. I've been on s_d for about a year, have raided the tags time and time again, and almost all Thunderbolts scans were posted by myself, remix17, and a couple of other random people. My ability to post is influenced by my Zemo fixation and the fact that most of my comics collection was stolen a couple years ago. You could post scans yourself, introducing people to the storylines and characters, homoeroticism-free if that's how you roll (and on any given day on s_d, 7 out of 10 posts are just random shit someone liked, and not particularly slashy in any way).

Naw, feel free. Hell, I'd join because I liked S_D for a while, and then I hated it and took it off. Much of the reason I originally joined was so I could keep up with comics while not buying any, or at least know what the salient points were.

If you made a competing S_D, and allowed only a little bit of hormonal sniggering at the subtext, I'd totally join and back you up.

Go for it. I'd join.
