You know fandoms. Greedy little bastards.
There was a discussion on Fan Dumb, related to Super Mario Bros Z, in this very thread IIRC.
While I still don't think that if I were producing something for free, for my own amusement, I would be bothered by people telling me to update faster, clearly, TFS and other people do.
Are people attacking these guys at conventions because of their update schedule? Are they receiving death threats and insults for not releasing a new episode every week? I know TFS has a new site, but I'd guess that a bulk of viewers tend to catch it on Youtube - and Youtube comments are about as asinine and rude as they come, so why is TFS apparently so victimized?
Although that's certainly part of it; I'd say there's a bit more to it. Like, the fanbase is pretty large; we have new people coming in and asking when the next episode is because they genuinely don't know what kind of update schedule the series has. Though it feels like that's probably a minority.
The adjectively you're really missing up there, though; is entitled. People who feel the creators have an obligation to put out content regularly and predictably.
Yup, sounds like the vocal part of every fanbase ever.

To connect back with SMBZ, since it was brought up, I remember an episode would pop up on Newgrounds and some of the very first comments would be asking when the next one was.
I can't remember who said it, but I remember a good little piece about this, and basically everyone swamps creators like this with the same questions over and over again because none of them realize just how many people are asking said questions over and over again. So those fans get pissy at being "slighted", even though each fan is but a water droplet amongst a flood.
So people... how do you guys think the Team will pull off the Cell Games?
A trve man never dies, even when he's killed!Horrifyingly.
Horrifyingly hilariously.
