Offensive announcement:
0
I'm writing a pitch for a contest in the "guild" (self contained subforum) I run on gaiaonline (laugh, but the "guild" is good enough to justify a membership.)
I was reading this, and wondered if it could be considered offensive. I don't offend easily, and don't experience sufficient empathy towards sensitive types to escape irking them.
Anyway, could somebody look over this, and tell me if it makes sense, or needs some changes to clear confusion:
Let's try to have everything together by then (Post, I don't want to make a bad move)
Also, I'm thinking something like:
A Mangaka Christmas!
Contest time!
This holiday, we're looking for a themed card to include in our (recently re-started) mailer.
Ideas got dropkicked, and we thought we would stay with the basics. We want a card that:
-Is "Holiday Themed": we accept Christmas cards, Chanukkah cards, Solstice greetings, and/or Kwanzaa....things. (I don't celebrate, it's a holiday that makes little to no sense to me.)
-Incorporates your art in some way: can feature your original characters, have a picture of you drawing in a corner, or exemplify your distinctive styling.
-Tells us something about yourself: Art is about self expression, it can illustrate family rituals, landmarks of your homeland, or whatever you want. Be creative, and it'll work out in the end.
Of course, there will be prizes;
(enter prize here)
You are officially encouraged to exploit our community's resources in this task. We have a good art critique board, and hints and tips can help conceptualize. This is more then a ploy for more activity, this is about helping your fellow man [size=7](to post more)[/h].
/pitch
This needs revising. Look at it and tell me what's up.

we accept Christmas cards, Chanukkah cards, Solstice greetings, etc.Meh, should be good enough.

I'm sure people who celebrate Kwanzaa wish well, but you don't see cards in Wal Mart.
I'm not even intolerant, all I'm saying is that celebrating a harvest in a country you are no longer connected to makes no sense.

I read up to "gaionline" and stopped.Spoiler:
I don't even really go there anymore. I just enjoy that singular part of the community.
Too many 12 year old idiots.
If we had enough active members (and some html experience) I would break away; I also don't have enough time for a commitment like that.

Too many 12 year old idiots.Hold up. I am confused. Are you calling me a twelve year old for insulting the Gaia community or are you saying that the Gaia community itself is immature?
I assumed you were insulting me.

You've jumped a different gun, man. I don't see the context in your spoiler.
Also, the community is full of too many kids who pick up on the dumber bits of the internet.
There are good people, every once in a bit, but I can't really take the majority anymore.

gaiaonline is for faggots. I said what everyone wanted to say from the start of this topic.

The only problem with that shit is that they're making it too personal. If you think about the types of people that join Gaia, its only rational that you'd find a way to include as many people as possible. They've never really been good about considering people that live outside of California, let alone the US. Obviously they aren't thinking too hard. It is extremely important that members take the initiative to emphasize that if Gaia wants to become a respectable international community, they should exercise common sense as well.
