History YMMV / Drawception

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: A ''lot''. Basically, any of "today's top games" tends to be rife with examples of excellent art. It's even more impressive when you consider it's all drawn from scratch within a limit of ten minutes, with a none-too-comfortable interface.

** From about mid-2020 onwards, ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' content had become more and more common, becoming the new Jojo when it came to derails and shoehorns. As a result, ''many'' players got absolutely sick of anything related to the game.

* GameBreakingBug: Started cropping up more and more frequently by TheNewTwenties; at that point, the site became plagued with broken image links (although [[https://drawception.com/forums/general/61519/broken-image-fix/ an unofficial fix]] has been made available through Tampermonkey), slowdowns, and other technical problems. Nobody (not even the moderators) are entirely sure what's going on, because [[ReclusiveArtist Reed has become quite difficult to contact]].

* AcceptableTargets: The UsefulNotes/FurryFandom. Any drawing showing some sort of FunnyAnimal is likely to be captioned "furry".

* TheyChangedItSoItSucks: The replacement of the old leveling system, coin currency, and veteran games with a single premium currency, Ducks. After you've received a free handful of Ducks after completing your 32 games, the only ways to earn them are purchasing them with real money, winning contests, and being given them by Gold players which is quite a rare occurence.[[note]]Or hacking, [[DontTryThisAtHome but we strongly discourage that]].[[/note]] While this is to keep the site running and the benefits are almost entirely cosmetic, some players are not happy and demand more methods of earning Ducks.

*** A similar concept, the "step games", also get this, but to a lesser extent because it can still change.

*** And in a PIO game, does dropping the text with PIO and simply drawing the caption count as "derail" or not?

** [[WebVideo/DrawWithJazza Jazza]] has also become one as of late for a similar reason to ''My Little Pony''. This later died down after details featuring him started to become rarer and rarer.

* GoodBadBugs: In the game's first month, some games glitched and had '''[[https://drawception.com/forums/suggestions/12081/monthly-100-panel-game/?page=2#p266525 hundreds of panels]]''', also including random panels meant for other games. Unfortunately, much of the last half of each game is [[GameBreakingBug made up of broken or repeated images]].

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Because the game relies on various interpretations of drawings and captions, when you are faced with what a drawing or caption has evolved to, it's impossible to not laugh.

** The current Dustcatching system[[note]]Whenever a caption is skipped too much enough, it is discarded to keep the game moving[[/note]]. The number of skips that dustcatches a caption has possibly been lowered, to the point even simple captions are dustcatched.
* TheyChangedItSoItSucks: The replacement of the old leveling system, coin currency, and veteran games with a single premium currency, Ducks. After you've received a free handful of Ducks after completing you're 32 games, the only ways to earn them besides purchasing with real money are winning a contest or receiving them from Gold players, which are exceptionally rare occurrences, require high skill to attain, and often only grant a tiny amount of Ducks. While this is to keep the site running (read: a good thing), some players are not happy and demand more methods of earning Ducks.

*** A similar concept, the "step games", also get this.

** Starting the second half of 2019, Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure also became this, with a large amount of user-generated games and top games incorporating references to it. Many fans have stated, especially in the forums, that they have become tired of the sheer amount of Jojo and liked it better when there was more variety.

* GoodBadBugs: In the game's first few months, some games glitched and had '''[[https://drawception.com/forums/suggestions/12081/monthly-100-panel-game/?page=2#p266525 hundreds of panels]]''', also including random panels meant for other games. Unfortunately, much of the last half of each game is [[GameBreakingBug made up of broken images]].

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Several of the darker games can reach this point, [[https://drawception.com/game/CrKs8xr7H1/barney-the-dinosaur-smokes-dope/ with this game being a shining example]].

* GoodBadBugs: One game glitched and had '''[[https://drawception.com/game/ZbbOx8qjgA/platypus-playing-twister/ 429 panels]]''', as the result of a drawing accidentally tripling itself and having the second copy land the limit mark. Unfortunately, much of the last half is [[GameBreakingBug made up of broken images]].

* ScrappyMechanic: The panel flagging system. The way it works makes it a double-edged sword; it's normally meant for removing panels that break the site's rules, but because the panels are removed automatically without a higher-up reviewing them for rule violations before removal and it only takes several flags to remove the panel, even a completely valid panel is vulnerable if it encounters trolls and/or people who believe it breaks unwritten rules (such as intentionally dropping PIO prompts) even if the official rules or Reed stated such a thing is okay or vaguely falls under breaking official rules (such as intentional PIO dropping being seen as "don't be a jerk" even if it describes the rest of the panel). What doesn't help is that [[BrokenBase some of these unwritten rules have split opinions]] and panel removals can carry consequences for one's account (usually max game limiting), meaning a person could get punished over something small and/or controversial in the community despite technically abiding by the rules. Fortunately, removed panels can be restored and false flaggers can be sanctioned - but this is manual and requires Reed's attention and discretion, and as a result some panels never get reinstated despite being valid (such as one caption that was mistaken for a derail because some failed to notice that it was a quote from the movie that was brought up in the previous panel).
