Newgrounds is a site full of aspiring animators. Those who want to show off their creations to the world and eventually gain popularity. Unfortunately many of these animators don't really want to work that hard.
I remember first coming on Newgrounds at age 13, thinking this is the best site ever. (But of course, the only sites I knew of were those generic free online game sites where everything there is made completely out of the most basic tutorials.) Newgrounds seemed to be a much better place. Crappy flashes were a little less likely to pass and people were willing to take criticism, whether the review is made by a person who hasn't made any flash or if it's made by a guy with porn in his profile.
Someone, please tell me...
What happened to those people?
Why is it that anyone who doesn't praise even the worst of an creators creations will risk facing the hostility of both the fan and the creator? Have all the good creators gone away? Have all the creators lost their ability to accept negative feedback after years of being fellated by the underaged community?
What has happened, Newgrounds? What has happened?
Surely this newspost will be overlooked by the masses of Sonic and Call of Duty fans, only to be viewed by my peers, and by a few of the people I have inflicted with the butthurt. So, I'll just post this picture of an anthropomorphic Umbreon, probably having an orgasm.

you forgot the part when well known Artist PROMISE to have something out within a week and that turns into 3 years. *cough: BlackdevilX. and when someone takes over 2 years for one flash. *cough* Alvin and yeah.

Alvin Earthworm has become one of those criticism fearing people. If you told him his flashes suck, he'd go off the wall, probably bring up the number of flashes/trophies you've got, and he'll make an example of you by posting a screencap of your comment or something.
But don't tell him I said that or he may block me from posting on his profile.
