What exactly is whining?

Because if we get chapter every week and people say that they don't like pretty much the same thing every week, that most certainly isn't going in circles, or whinning. Chapter discussion has a thread every week and every week is a different story. If 10 chapters in a row are empty (not going to say that there is somethig wrong, so I will say 'empty') it's only natural to write of it.

Whining starts when the criticism is being called complains for the sake of complaining, or bashing despite that people write reasons as to why the don't like something. When people say be patient despite something happening million chapters ago. Criticism isn't about what may, or may not happen in million chapters it's about what is happening in due moment. That's especialy troublesome when it comes to chapters with explanations because most of the time there is really no reason to believe that there will be any continuation to an explnation since there is really no pont to leave some parts out when the explanation is related and needed to understand what is going on right now. Then there is the issue of people creating 10 theories to fill holes in "explanation" and basicaly acting like it's a fact despite it being really a stretch of imagination. What the point of making things look etter than they are when it won't change the fact that those things are not as good as you like? Going in circles starts with people ignoring the fact that "complains" are based on something and having problems with complains in general. Some people respond and then it's endless discussion starts. That's why I rarely respond when I see that it will change nothing.

Criticism is what is discussed by people who criticise, people who criticise the criticism and people who actualy try to give a new perspective to certain aspects so that people who criticise could change their opinion upon seeing that maybe they missed something since many people may have problem with remembering 300 chapters. In the process we get many posts with criticism and it actualy make it took like there more criticism that there actualy is. I mean who will comment on the fact that I, or someone else likes something. That happens only when it comes to some really specific events. Criticism is what creates most of the discussion. Other than that it's mystery which we don't have all that much those days, but we have threads for mystery and theories based on it. Criticism free threads. However criticism is what creates the discussion in many threads.

If people are so annoyed by it than it's not hard to avoid the most criticism heavy threads. There really isn't so many of them, but most of the time those are the most interesting ones.
What is whining ?Criticism differs from whining by a lot.Let me give you an example.Take some of the posts from this thread which will give you an answer.For me example,No offence,We all know that art in HXH is not good.Saying that art is bad can be taken as their opinion if they do it one time/occasionally few times.But posting that repeatedly in all discussion threads irrespective of the topic without any constructive argument behind it is what makes it whining.If I say that certain anime series is bad by using only one word 'Bad' and posting it in almost every threads I saw and almost every time when I come to the said section without any backup argument is what makes that I am whining other than criticising just exactly like how 123fire guy posts in OP section.So is that criticising ?Nope.

Sure criticism creates and opens up discussions which are constructive arguments but one-lined sentences which is more of a whining than criticism will do the same?Yes but the output will be different.Would like to expand more on it but I have to gotta go now.

Don't take those morons serious dude. Most of the hate towards come from people that have never seen/read it and just wanna feel cool by hating something like others on the internet does.

Lol seriously for the Natsu fighting the strongest part. I never see people complain when Luffy, Naruto, Ichio or any other damn MC fights the strongest, but yet when natsu is it's like world war. Tbh i like Natsu's fight and i even like him more than the mc's i listed.

To the fs part. No one complaisn about that in OP! Namis boobs are getting bigger and bigger evey damn chapter/episode. Is dressed with a shorts and a damn bikini and, so does the others girls, and yet i don't hear anything. I lvoe how people here complain but when they watch ecchi they don't see anything wrong. Btw that's the same, since it is the same genre, retards.

If you start FT you should know that this Manga is based on frendship, to protect the guild because it's their family. Emotions does make people stronger, so wtf is wrong is wrong with it?

I didn't cry to over Naruto's tnj all the time.
because naruto actually explains most of the wins. natsu several times has hit an oponent for it to do no damage and after giving the "friends" speech that same attack gets a power boast.

adleast naruto doesnt have "random character tanking a rasengan" and then "losing to the same rasengan after naruto says his friends is his power". you cant even say natsu wore them down like many other villains get worn down because natsu uses as much magic as the enemy while taking most if not all of the damage. no . . .FT doesnt even use the excuse that the enemy got wore down

but usually when it happens in other shows i ignore it because its not a every fight kind of thing, which is not the case for fairy tail

Note - This is not centered at just one post.

First of all who said you to take Fairy Tail manga in general seriously.Aren't manga's are meant to be something we enjoy for reading ?No manga can be taken seriously unless you are connected to it in some way or other.Even if the manga became a joke for you,are you still not enjoying it ?.Fairy Tail is not for everyone,it is for some lucky people only.For people who are taking about fanservice in FT....Yes, FT has fanservice. Yes, FT has nakama power. Yes, FT battles are short (for which I say, thank you,Hiro Mashima Sensei!). Yes, Lucy(Being a primary Protagonist) is not so powerful and Natsu will always get the last punch at the end of the arc like a boss. It’s okay to not like a manga, and it’s okay to share your opinion on it a few times. It’s not okay to keep harping on it and spoiling other people’s enjoyment.Especially if you’re reading it illegally and not supporting the mangaka with your money at all.If you didn't even invest a penny on it,you have no right to criticize a Manga/Mangaka.Excluding your post other posts in this thread are even more ridiculous.

Talking about Fanservice in FT,let me rephrase a question for all of you.If you don't like Fanservice,how in the hell did you thought to read FT ?Given the fact that Ecchi is one of it's genre.People talking about the excessive usage of fanservice in FT is nothing more than their over exaggeration on it or they are asking more for it in disguise.Fanservice in FT is nothing more than a comedic relief and it is of a mediocre level if not very low.I am not getting why some people say that Fairy Tail has a lot of fanservice.The fanservice in Fairy Tail, if any, is minimal quantity especially when compared to other animes out there which has similar Ecchi tag as in Fairy Tail.And People whining about it getting in the middle of the story/fight are the people in general who are looking at it most.Out of 100% of FT manga readers,nearly 20% of them are enjoying it along with the fanservice.It is not much of problem.

Seems to be centered ?For starters out there,Fairy Tail's main theme in the manga is Friendship.It is of showing what are friends and what is their values.It is always been like this from the very start.Main characters doesn't lost in match.why?It is a basic shonen theme.Fairy Tail characters always wins in a fight.Isn't that certain already if you are reading it till now.In some manga's you read that Villain overpowered the main hero and after a certain amount of time,the hero comes and overpowers villain but in FT all are done in same scenario.Power of friendship is overused ?Yes a little at times but still that is nice to watch/read.Them emotions they gave when they are talking about their nakama is what makes my heart feels warm.Fights are being short in FT?Yes,like I said above that is what one of the good things about FT.It is always certain that when one mage up against another mage,one is going to become victorious or not.Fairy Tail handling fights very simply.It isn't dragging fights for some very long chapters unlike other manga's out there.There are simple and straight forward.At sometimes amazingly done.

People claiming that fight/explanations is/are BS just by reading random fan translations.How Erza won the fight against Kyoka was explained simply in the manga.Even I will agree that the fight wasn't well set by Hiro and the explanation he gave she being using her sixth sense wasn't that great.If you read that carefully,you can see that even after taking away her five senses,Erza can still feel pain.One can argue that fight isn't well made by hiro but you can't outright call it bad.Sixth sense is already been established in another manga(Not sure about that manga's name)and it was played out and accepted well by Supporters of the manga.I don't see any problem with that."Friends are my power"..doesn't give them any new power.It is nothing more than a common dialogue used in FT which triggers their emotions and thus makes them Furious.There is a clear difference of how serious mage and extremely serious mage fights and their difference in the execution of their strength.

Gray defeating Rufus isn't a best example to argue.It is been established that Rufus Memory Make magic can't memorize infinite pattern of magic attacks at once.It is more of a strategy from gray to win against Rufus which worked pretty decently in gray's favour.Laxus defeating Raven Tail isn't much of a wonder.Laxus is one of the powerhouse of the Fairy Tail Mages and he is showed to be strongest among them.Yes,FT members did say some speech before they beat the crap out of the villains just like some other manga's out there.I don't see any wrong with that.It is like one is saying that 'I want Shush actions/fights in the manga only which are utterly lame.But people tend to only point out their ridiculous opinion on FT unlike with other manga's.Adddiction much?I'll leave that to each of your own concerns.

Some random person pops up from nowhere and post his so ridiculously valuable opinion on FT calling the fans horrible just because they defend their favourite series.And I have seen that so called random person get butthurted all over in a thread(s) when his so loved manga was named horrible in the title in a certain section.First thing this kind of people need to learn is to give respect to others opinion/subjective criticism and if they start criticism about the manga they don't like atleast try to post something other than silly words in their posts and try to back up whatever they claim.Someother person claims that it is a soft paper porn.Not sure whether serious or trolling. Another one pops up and says that he dropped the manga just because of Nakama crap but sticky'd to other nakama crap manga's or animes?.Biased much ?And again someother person comes and sees posts of what others said and decides to not get into it.Influenced by others opinions other than having their own ?Seems legit.

Fairy Tail has it's own flaws and isn't a great series just like any other manga till now.You can argue that there are some instances where FT would have played better but you can't argue that it is bad/shitty series like how other people played it out to be.FT is good in it's own standards.It is simple yet amazing,fun,adventure,mysterious manga.And there are 2 more arcs at best aside from this tartarus arc for the countdown of the end of the manga.There are purely people who only comes here to criticize when they think that chapter is bad and they don't even appreciate the work when it was done nicely.Biased much?.Still at the end of the day,I have nothing against anyone of you users who hate FT as I am also a Fairy Tail hater to begin with.Yes,I am hater who changed into a fan without myself knowing it.I am proud to say that.My pride lies on my current* username.

I want expand more on it but I don't have much of a leisure time/not interested in it,so I made my post as short as I can.
i have no idea what manga your talking about. erza fighting an oponent who in all purposes shouldve been stronger then her, she shouldve lost. my problem wasnt with her feeling pain, its with almost every fight the character is at a disadvantage(sometimes a huge one) and right after the "friendship" speech everything turns around.

so that means they only win when their serious? so the whole time their getting stomped they arent serious? when there friend is in danger they arent serious? when lives are at stack they arent serious? No but its only when hey say how much their friends mean to them(and then sudden beat the guy who's been walking all over them) hmmm . . .

i didnt pay you to comment, should i not be able to have an opinion of you? i didnt buy a brand new galaxy s5, should my opinion be excluded? i support the author by watching their show through a paid website and if there not getting any money from that then thats not my problem. also are we not allowed to criticize the things we enjoy? do we just ignore any problems a manga(or anything) might have just because you dont want us to?

Mattaku.....Like said several times,I am not talking about one in particular.

I am neither talking about only FT or nor you,but about manga in general and how readers tend to overdo things.Isn't it certain already if you read it till now ?I don't like to post the samething over and over again...Read my post again.

so that means they only win when their serious? so the whole time their getting stomped they arent serious? when there friend is in danger they arent serious? when lives are at stack they arent serious?

No,nonetheless they win :p.Lol,that bold happens after the those things in ????.Read my post elaborately...

Professional work?.So you paid others to comment ?How come you can have a opinion of galaxy s5 when you didn't buy it.?LolSaw the workings in it from a friend or a promo ?Is it Hulu?..It is like you are saying that you have a opinion about a manga but you never read it.

Did I said no or did I forced a rule?Read my post again along with other tiny posts of mine and also read what Tale said in post no.59.

Did you read what I write...

Because if we get chapter every week and people say that they don't like pretty much the same thing every week, that most certainly isn't going in circles, or whinning. Chapter discussion has a thread every week and every week is a different story.
Chapter 1: art is bad
Chapter 2: art is bad
Chapter 254978846213: art is bad.... that's not different than.

Chapter 1: art is great
Chapter 2: art is great
Chapter 2546875661: art is great.

Evey week is a new chapter. There are a lot of mangas out there, complaing about something 2465652315646x times is not different that saying 3246543212654652x "i'm glad that Natsu is still kicking a$$"

Look it from the other way. Puting only one word "bad" is not different than putting one word "great". Really I saw numeros these comments in chapter discussion threads. So, does anyone complain about not constructive writting why are you saying "great I give it 5/5".. Ofc not, I never saw anyone...

Again what makes 5/5 chapters for you (not just FT, but Bleach, Naruto, One Piece as well)

Even if Chapter A was slightly better than Chapter B, and even if Chapter C was more action-oriented/less talky than Chapter D, you'll still see people giving perfect ratings.

Why? What makes a chapter perfect for you? If the inconsistencies are good enough to garner perfect ratings every week, then I'd hate to see what you'd consider a 2/5.

Same can be said back at you...

Those can be exactly twisted around to make it otherway.And you didn't saw otherway around?When people post something negative they get criticised by in return and same can be applied vice-versa which are still subjective unlike someother factual posts who claims that to be.They are people who agrees to ones opinion and they are people who disagrees to another one.See where it is going?

I stopped being a critic more than a year back.So you ask me rating?I don't care much about that.I only rate it for fun more times than not and that is too only if the thread was made by me.Chapter/series rating isn't based on just one thing.It is based on taking into all of the accounts into consideration.Anything other than that is a fan rating.

Lol,I saw that beck26 user desperately trying to get back into FT section so that he can hate it.What exactly is he asking you to post?Is that pictures of fairy girls with boobs on the image calling that is the plot?.He,himself knows the reason why he got banned from this Section.If anything he has himself to bash for what he done before here.Lol,he is asking you to post on his behalf and create a new thread.No don't do that.Anything,anyone want to post....post it here.As it is the last thread I am going to be active in FT Section.Create a new thread,I will ignore that.After the commission ended with this thread,I will disappear from FT Section and anything that is open discussion to FT irrespective of what it is!.

no, i dont read many manga's where the main character(and friends) can take any hit and then immediately turn the fight around.

Okay :(
Fairy tale is the anime that nobody ever dies right? It is an anime that you either like or don't like and i do not like it.
Good.You have my respect.
Fixed it: Fairy Fail is the most garbage anime of all time. That's factual.
Hey...I want to know why it is such a bad.I heard some of them say it but no one explained to me why ?Can you give me your review on it so that I can decide whether should I start watching FT or not ? :erm:

I'm not disagreeing with this, I'm just showing that "non-constructive bad" is not different than "non-constructive great". I more disagree than agree with this thread, but the point is to show other side of the medal.

it was general, not pointed at you. Usually polls are not public, but you don't have to be a genius to constantly see people giving 5/5 rankings. Again, it's just other side of the medal. People who fanboy over series are not different than people who 'hate' on the series and giving 'non constructive criticism'.

Hm, didn't know that you can be banned from one section and not whole forum.

You read my VM's so you should know that I will not post a new thread, either way what he wanted me to post here is:

beck26 said:
hey man, i dont know if we are friends or not, can you please post this on the fairy tail wall:

"yo, please unblock me, don't block anyone who criticizes your manga, you all like saying we just criticize fairy tail because of hearsay or because we never read it, im up to date with the manga and you still block me.

dont be scared to defend your series, if all you would do is to patch things by blocking people who tries to point out there's a hole in a sinking ship called fairy tail, then what do you call yourselves?"

This thread is type of that other one.Not the opening post made by shiro(He just merely expressed his opinions) but some other posts made by some other fellows who I see here in this section for the sole purpose of bashing it.All the words they use are shit,horrible or post a fanservice pic from FT.When I saw the Opening post of this thread,I liked this thread as I always welcomes this type of threads which are good to discuss but after scrolling some posts,It changed my view

it was general, not pointed at you. Usually polls are not public, but you don't have to be a genius to constantly see people giving 5/5 rankings. Again, it's just other side of the medal. People who fanboy over series are not different than people who 'hate' on the series and giving 'non constructive criticism'.
@bold...lol,there are few times(earlier) where I liked a chapter and gave a lesser rating than it deserves and vice-versa.I have yet to do that in OP section XD.Yup it is easy to say sometimes.Nonetheless,I think,I am assuming you have asked what you rate this week's chapter,right?

My critical rating is 2.4(not interested to expand why so)
My fan rating is 3/4

Hm, didn't know that you can be banned from one section and not whole forum.

You read my VM's so you should know that I will not post a new thread, either way what he wanted me to post here is:
Yes you can.I know who did that but I am not going to say who was that?You must be silent as I am pretty sure he will spam his profile if he knows who was the one banned him from FT section.

Sorry,I wasn't intended to.I only did that when beck26 user is asking you something.(XD).
With due respect I have on you,stop acting as a mediator.I have created a thread on "what is your fav.art in manga?".I didn't created it for nothing,I created it see who are the ones posting here and who are the ones not posting there/not sharing their opinion of which panel do they like.That thread is a contrast to this thread which proved my already proven point.

You upto date with manga means you can come and talk shit here like how you posted back in days ?All you did was not criticising at that time.It was whining about a particular thing of unknown hate driven towards a particular thing.

The last paragraph,I typed in post no.71 was for you.My original post has some relevance to you.People I described them(be proud you are one of them).Sinking ship ? Like what?Every manga has their own holes,yes,many sinking ships.
What I call myself?.I call myself has a hater.

Anything you post on the behalf of beck26 user I am gonna ignore it.

As I have already initiated Countdown for me to leave FT section,I am planning on to go all out here if possible,given my tight schedule of other work I have,I may doubt that.Let us see!.

Now I am off for today....:bye:

You know, everyone seems to be forgetting something. This has become some kind of debate over the very fabric of shounen manga. For those who want a manga where people die all the time, go find a manga that drips with blood and gore. For those who enjoy a fantastic story (and I use fantastic in the literal sense of the word, as in centered on fantasy) then Fairy Tail is a good choice, along with Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Dragon Ball, etc...because their storylines involve magic/supernatural powers.

Personally, I like the fact that Fairy Tail has the fighting for your friends as its main motivation. Some people don't like it, and would rather see something more realistic and logical. If you want realistic, go with the sports mangas and get out of the fantasy-shounen section. If you want blood, go into some of the more hardcore mangas like AoT. If you want blood and realism, go read news stories about the conflicts in the middle east.

Either way, its unlikely that most people are going to be satisfied because either there isn't enough death in Fairy Tail for them, or the nakama power is overwhelming, or it could just be the fanservice. Point is, if you don't like it, drop it and stop complaining about it.

And on topic, the series isn't supposed to be taken too seriously, that's why there is comedy, magic and fanservice, to break up the tension and make it less intense. It's a fantasy series, which means that it loses appeal if it gets too realistic. Accept it or don't, I don't care. But stop trying to poke holes in an entire genre please.

For those who enjoy a fantastic story (and I use fantastic in the literal sense of the word, as in centered on fantasy) then Fairy Tail is a good choice, along with Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Dragon Ball, etc...because their storylines involve magic/supernatural powers.

Personally, I like the fact that Fairy Tail has the fighting for your friends as its main motivation. Some people don't like it, and would rather see something more realistic and logical. If you want realistic, go with the sports mangas and get out of the fantasy-shounen section. If you want blood, go into some of the more hardcore mangas like AoT. If you want blood and realism, go read news stories about the conflicts in the middle east.

Either way, its unlikely that most people are going to be satisfied because either there isn't enough death in Fairy Tail for them, or the nakama power is overwhelming, or it could just be the fanservice. Point is, if you don't like it, drop it and stop complaining about it.

And on topic, the series isn't supposed to be taken too seriously, that's why there is comedy, magic and fanservice, to break up the tension and make it less intense. It's a fantasy series, which means that it loses appeal if it gets too realistic. Accept it or don't, I don't care. But stop trying to poke holes in an entire genre please.
A Fairytail hater who gets to read this post is like one-shotted by Fairylaw.

You just made my day :)

Fairy Tail isn't Shounen though
