yeah in the 2 years i've been here (this year will be 3) everyone in this website have been so sweet and kind !

Agreed, I've been having nothing but a good time here. Sure, there's a few hiccups and messups here and there, but they're usually just brushed away by the sands of time and don't really matter. I take Newgrounds over sites like Twitter ANYDAY, also a good simile, Newgrounds really is like some chill bar or a jazz club you just pop into whenever you wanna relax after a hard day's work

If I had to guess, I'd say the people complaining about NG being "toxic" might be the same people who lost their various uploading privileges or even got their account deleted over breaking the rules one to many times. (Like the people who upload content that's not their own or the ones throwing personal insults artist in the review section...)

I would 'generally' agree that the Newgrounds community as a whole has a lot of friendly and helpful people who will gladly help one grow as a person or artist. But not an hour on NG goes by without me having to either flag something or someone. Or write somebody a PM that the bare nipples in their avatar/profile-background are against the rules of this 'open for everyone' platform...
Sometimes I wish users had to pass a simple test before they were allowed to post, review or upload. :(

@Jojo I respectfully disagree. The 'artists' here are awesome. I'm just... hm... 'a casual janitor who will sometimes point people the right direction when they are lost and confused'.

True, one of the best communities ever

I think the main reason for that is Newgrounds doesn't get really into a "culture war" bullshit unline YT or Twitter/X and you don't see people complaining about politics or "wokeness".
