An important update:

Due to a specific person being a complete child, comments are going to be screened by default.

This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained.

(This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post any doxxing attempts unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff/authorities.)

Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.

(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)

"The phrase "dog in the manger" is an idiom that means someone who selfishly keeps something that they do not want or need, just to prevent others from having or enjoying it."

i'm guessing you mean, you think all the people who've been complaining aren't uma artists? kind of hard to judge that on anon

I mostly mean it to refer to people who are newer or otherwise less experienced artists who don't have the skin/accent-making skills to succeed in a contest format, with a side of non-artists who are angry on imagined principle.

—though really, I think my core points about "yikes, people are being really nasty" and "on the other hand, maybe these different perspectives on how contests should be structured are behind the negativity" stand, regardless of how well you think my offhanded aesop reference works.

i wasn't criticizing your literary skills, i asked a clarifying question. i have no horse in this race but your comment stood out to me because i'd never heard that phrase before

i don't care to continue on with it, cheers for the knowledge tho

so, true story, back in grade school I ran out of the school library's supply of novels with animal protags, which were pretty much the only thing I wanted to read, so I... checked out and read a huge collection of Aesop's Fables.

years later, I am still questionably blessed with the power to make references that make me sound like a grandma.
