>>94808>the anon that started this chain didn't even really say anything inflammatoryDude straight up said "Salt's art is not as good anymore"
>"looking for a problem where there isn’t one"The Tipping the Scales comic, which has insane quality for the publicly short length of time it was created in, had people complaining that it wasn't the typical and predictable 1:1 weight swap and that it "wasn't detailed" which fits that bill specifically. Salt posted a preview for the newest comic and """people""" are both doomposting and begging for it in the same breath, continuing to fit the bill.
>As a former artistIf you were a former artist you'd realize how insane and unfounded "he's just not as good anymore" reads without any kind of supporting argument. There are other artists who have genuinely fallen off and it's 100% realistic to describe why. None of these complaints can describe why outside of "the fat isn't to my particular liking".
>doesn't invalidate the opionionIf an opinion has no supporting argument, it's invalid.
>why anyone would defend him so quickly or why anyone wouldn't want Salt to do better?No one wants him to NOT do better; when he improves, we all benefit. After seeing coomer randos go off that various excellent works "aren't good" without much challenge (scroll way the fuck up in the thread), eventually some people are going to call out the bullshit.
>people like you enforce that notion that things are 100% perfect and should never be questionedOne of the cornerstones of this thread is the constant questioning of his character variety, which has gotten better as of late since we're not seeing back-to-back Lucy anymore. We used to see back-to-back Lily from Katawa Shoujo too and that relaxed as well. There are things that can be criticized about Salt's work, but a bunch of the complaints have been COMPLETELY out of pocket.
