Over the course of the Christmas holiday I learned in the Death Battle subreddit that Devil Artemis was going to stop making animations for Death Battle due to how the community was harassing him and bashing his work. If you want to know Devil Artemis’s explanation I’ll provide the link here. And also every image in this blog is credited to Devil Artemis.
What the fuck is wrong with the fans? This shit is exactly why I put the Vs Community in the same boat as the Fighting Game Community, absolute trash 99% of the time unless you’re debating with friends. For those that don’t know, fans have been bashing Devil Artemis for his work on recent Death Battle episodes, most notably Omni-Man Vs Bardock and Kratos Vs Asura. So much unnecessary bashing for an animator that busted his ass to give you the fucking matchups you wanted.
You know what the problem is? People nowadays just don’t know how to give constructive criticism without being an asshole. It's fine to not like something and give honest constructive criticism, but don’t harass the people who made it. After what Death Battle has gone through since Rooster Teeth went under and the success of the Kickstarter, nobody in this community should be biting the hands that fed them, fuck everyone who was responsible for this.
“But I paid money for the Kickstarter! I can say whatever I want” Whoopdie fucking doo, that was your choice! You choose to give them money so they could keep making episodes, it does not give you the right to be a fucking asshole to the people behind the show, get the fuck over yourselves.
Vs Debating is a hobby that is biased and subjective by nature, but it is also fun and it should be that way. Never forget that this is supposed to be fun, because when you lose sight of that, this bullshit happens. And for God’s sake, stop treating Death Battle as holy scripture when it comes to this hobby, as if they’re the ultimate law in Vs Debating. I wish Devil Artemis the best going forward because he didn’t deserve this. And remember, harassing the crew is the number one way to NOT get the matchup that you want, think about THAT the next time you decide to be an asshole to the people making the show.
