⤿ L o a d i n g . . . CAUTION: ALL THAT I HAVE SAID IN THIS PROJECT IS PURELY MY OPINION AND NOT INFLUENCED BY OTHERS. I AM NOT FORCING THESE OPINIONS ON ANYBODY, JUST EXPRESSING MY OWN THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS. Hello everyone! I am sure most of you are tired of seeing rants/vents in almost every corner of Scratch, but, I had to do this because there are some issues which I really wanted to bring into the limelight. :D The aesthetic community is collectively very beautiful, the people are amazing, creative and the projects are just chef’s kiss, but still, there are problems, of course, in a largely positive and healthy community. Here are some of those issues/problems which I would like to address: 1. Forgetting old and good friends because of increasing popularity: Now this, is one of the biggest issues which I would love to address!!! I am sure most of you, if not, some of you must have seen this happening! After a point of time most Scratchers become “famous” and start to ignore their friends who have been by their side for long! And there are others who get close to famous people and forget their friends! Well, let me tell you, this is so wrong!!! You shouldn’t forget friends for so called “fame”! Of course, you have worked hard to achieve what you have, but that doesn’t mean you will forget the friends who were always by your side! I have personally never experienced something like this, but some whom I personally know, have, and I honestly feel very bad for them… Having good friends in life is a blessing, and we should cherish those friends! <3 2. Impersonating and heavily referencing: Yes, this is another issue which is literally so unnerving! Even though I have never experienced something like this, but I do understand the plight of the people who get impersonated or their work is highly referenced! I mean, what satisfaction do people get when they take credit for someone else’s hard work?! NOTHING, YOU WILL GET ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! So it’s better that people stop because it’s not nice! 3. Hating on others: Generally when people have fights on Scratch, they start hating on each other, which is wrong. Both fighting and hating on each other is wrong! You can just sort it out by explaining things to each other in a polite manner, I am sure the other person will understand if you are polite. 4. Making projects about fights: Is it really necessary to fight and then make projects about thos fights? NO! As I said, instead of fighting, you should explain things politely. But some people just don’t understand, they actually do something which actually increases the intensity of that fight, and that is, they make projects about it so that others can know about it and go hate on the other person! This results in unnecessary hating and fuels the fight even more! I guess that’s all… I might add more but I guess this is enough for today! I have never experienced any of these issues but I have seen others and it is not very pleasant, so I hope we work together to bring more positive changes in this beautiful community! :D Credits:- Thumbnail:- By me Code:- By me Thumbnail code:- There’s a code that I use to ensure that the thumbnails show if there are glitches and stuff, I really don’t know who made that code, I just found it written in one of the Scratch Forums, but the person who wrote it was (If I can recall correctly), I don’t know if he/she made this code, but, they wrote it in the forum, that’s all I can say. If you use that code, give credit to me(if you found it in one of my projects, explain the whole story about how I got it, and also give credit to !)
