YMMV / Drawception

• Awesome Art: A lot. Basically, any of "today's top games" (before they were mod-picked) 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.
• Broken Base:
  • Tracing your drawings from a transparent overlay of a photo. Should it be considered cheating or not? This was put to rest in early 2019, as tracing was officially banned.
  • PIO games. Is putting text on the drawing with the message "Pass it on" ruining the point of the entire game, or is it a fun and interesting variant of the game?
    • And in a PIO game, does dropping the text with PIO and simply drawing the caption count as a "derail" or not?
    • The fandom was split further by the official ban of writing prompts in drawings in 2020, which by extension banned PIO games.
    • A similar concept, the "step games"^note where players are encouraged to extend a story with something new, while adding the words "Step 1", "Step 2", etc., also get this, but to a lesser extent because it can still change.
  • Any Running Gag, from Seal to Yellmo, have their share of lovers and haters.
  • The removal of certain features, such as the bounty multiplier and the possibility to play only in vet games. According to some, it removes some elitism and makes the game more inclusive for new players. Others were upset that this way, high quality drawings with lots of effort put into them get "wasted" on non-vet games, getting lost among lazy drawings and intentional troll panels.
• Crack Pairing: Several; Shrek x Luigi was a recurring one.
• Crosses the Line Twice: Darkly humorous games can reach this point, with this game being a shining example.
• Discredited Meme: The Undertale fandom. By the end of 2015, the site had an influx of Undertale fans, to the point where most of new games created were Undertale-themed (and even unrelated games would get derailed with Undertale material.) As a result, Undertale stuff has become massively controversial.
  • Starting the second half of 2019, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 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.
  • From about mid-2020 onwards, Among Us content had become more and more common, becoming the new Jojo when it came to derails and shoehorns, thanks the game's simple nature and crewmate designs. As a result, many players got absolutely sick of anything related to the game.
• Good Bad Bugs: In the game's first month, some games glitched and had hundreds of panels (some games may have Not Safe for Work panels), also including random panels meant for other games. Unfortunately, much of the last half of each game is made up of broken or repeated images.
• Memetic Badass: Trouble Muffin, an anthropomorphic blueberry muffin with an Eyepatch of Power, shows up from time to time in the games, and is always portrayed as badass.
• The Scrappy:
  • My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic content is almost certain to meet with disparaging comments whenever it turns up. It doesn't help that the site was once overrun with bronies who would go as far as derailing unrelated games to turn them into MLP-themed games.
  • Jazza has also become one as of late for a similar reason to My Little Pony. This later died down after games featuring him started to become rarer and rarer.
  • Doki Doki Literature Club! for the same reason, albeit to a lesser extent.
• Scrappy Mechanic:
  • 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 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).
  • The current Dustcatching system^note Whenever a caption is skipped too much enough, it is discarded to keep the game moving. The number of skips that dustcatches a caption has possibly been lowered, to the point even simple captions are dustcaught.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: 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, but we strongly discourage that. 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.
