The Many Types of Commenters
15 years ago
FA has so many people commenting at any one time, it's fun to try and group them. Now, on with the pissing people off.
The Back-seat Artist:
Constantly tells you how this is wrong, how this is off, and what should be changed. Then you realise his gallery is full of Sonic yaoi. Objections dismissed.
The First:
The source of all evil in Sunnydale. Also people who solely comment 'FIRST', thereby wasting space. Coincidence?
The Frustrated Writer:
See also Grammar Nazi. Will point out your subjective clause is lacking in pronouns in your submission info. Your native language being different is no excuse, Johnny Foreigner. He's only doing this to help you improve, you know. You'll thank him when you meet Lynne Truss.
The Ego Exaggerator:
Recognised by frequently calling every pic by every artist 'teh greatest evaaaaaa!!!', he hopes that by boosting the ego of his target, he'll get a reply back. Not to be confused with the Andrew Lipton, where the commenter may in actual fact be in love with his target.
The Florence Nightingale:
Seems to revel in the role of trying to cheer up the target, thereby making himself feel good in the process. Can usually be found on any and all 'My life sucks/screw everything/fuck yiz all' journals.
The Annoying Critic:
Posts comments so big, they come with their own postcode. Over-analyses every itty-bitty little detail within the picture. May be some cross over with the Ego Exaggerator as, despite his lengthy critiques, they're almost uniformly positive.
The Fappity-Fapper:
Classic behaviour includes conducting a mini-RP within a comment thread, short comments consisting of the words grope, rape or moan, and the infamous words 'I bet he'd get on really well with my guy, Sir Rapeington Asswell '
The Emoticonal Wreck:
Responds exclusively in smiley faces, kitty faces and various other visual aids that convey absolutely nothing of importance. The more emoticons used, the less is said.
The Marquis de Sad:
Never happy with anything, his comments frequently loop back around to his problems. Somehow, a picture of a fox being gang-banged really hits home how awful his parents are.
The Drama-rama-ding-dong:
Or the common Drama Llama. Exists solely to drum up drama on everything he comments upon. There is no drama too obscure that he cannot wade into, vomit his spleen with rage upon, and let the internet provide the outrage.
The Shit-stirrer:
Although superficially similar to the Drama-rama-ding-dong, there is one important difference: often, no malice is intended. He loves the lulz. Whether this is better or worse, scienticians do not yet know.
The White Knight:
Really, I need to explain this one to you? Defends the defenceless, he likes to think. Protects the douches, everyone else thinks.
The Ironic Man:
Posts oh-so-clever comments that try to be original and creative that only succeed in making him look a twat. Can also be found desperately trying to amuse people through dry, half-plagiarised jou...oh. Bugger.
And I'm sure ye'll all think up more of your own. This journal has been brought to you in association with BoredomTM.

Am I DOIN IT RITE!
WOLFIE: Why'd you say that? ?3?
HW: Well, first, i think these dialogs i'm having with you, who is my fursona, who's suppose to be me, but not me, is kinda like RPing. O__o
WOLFIE: O3O Ooh! And second?
HW:
WOLFIE:..................... I see.....
HW: WE LIKE THIS JOURNAL!!
I like some of these - you have a keen eye for spotting the stereotypes.
He's constantly able to tell me what is wrong with my drawings when watching me and helping me improve them. Just because he doesn't know how to draw himself doesn't mean he can't see when something's off that I miss because I'm the one who drew it.
And i lol'd. Well done.
I was trying to mix three of them into one.
Thanks a lot, Diarmaid.
