wtf (dissapointed in newgrounds)

Posted by irkomatose - May 13th, 2025


did newgrounds remove the scout i gave my brother?? it's not appearing in my listed scouts. that's incredibly unfair. i literally know him personally, he tries his hardest at his art and writing, and is working hard to improve and accept criticism. his art may not be the most prestigious yet, but he is still learning just like me and everyone else. it is not low effort or low quality. i'm pissed off if this is the case. i've seen scouted works on this website that are of "lower quality" than his. in any case, most of them are simply artists who are just learning.


you could argue nepotism or some shit but honestly? literally the only reason i have a scout is because a friend/acquaintance scouted me. i dont see how that's any different considering he did know me prior.


art is fucking subjective. i'm unbelievably dissapointed and upset.


i'm not just mad for my brother. i'm mad for every growing artist that wishes to use this platform.

If you just scouted him because he's your brother then that's your issue.
You can't just scout people because you like them... They gotta meet a certain standard. Yes, art is subjective, but there's a limit you gotta reach to be part of the portal. If you didn't, the portal would be filled with trash

But I'm going to assume your brother is good enough, but if the mods knew he was your brother they probably unscouted him anyway (mods are kinda mean)

i didn't scout him just because he's my brother, but i see. i just wish the limit was more concrete.
