    For decades we've roasted, flamed, harassed, and ridiculed male designers and maybe a few female designers alike, but mostly male.

    The crowd here has always appreciated its own hive mind aesthetic. (Which I have personally enjoyed.) Clean, unintrusive, and polished.

    We were not nice to Sagmeister & Walsh simply because. Most of it sucked, some of it not. Work worth appreciating was appreciated.

    Now for some reason we can't act like ourselves because a woman has branched off in 2019? QBN will fall prey to political correctness? Fuck that. The work and presentation is trash.

    We can shit on male designers for years for a myriad of reasons, but we can't shit on a woman whose work is not good because equality? That's some new world order equality.

    Some individuals have roasted the community because of one or two member's opinions. Get over yourselves, both sides.

    The shit looks trash, the presentation is trash. It's all rushed with no purpose. I'd say that if a guy made it too.

    And yes, messiah complex is real with a few of you.

    • Amen, brother.NBQ00
    • That said, I wouldn't say the work is "trash". Some of it is really good but much of the stuff is average and the over the top self-promo makes it worse.NBQ00
    • lol @ part of our tradition being harassing people.youngdesigner

    I think fate and I are trying to point out how shitty and embarrassing the criticism in this thread is. After 17 years on here, I'm at the point where I either need to call out this shit when I see it, or not be a part of the community any longer.

    I'm disappointed that there are calls to chill out and "not turn this into a SJW issue." I can't be quiet about this behaviour anymore.

    • Bet you 100 Million, if Jessica was a guy this identity politics BS from you and fate wouldn't have arisen! Just because she's female you accuse us being sexistNBQ00
    • agree but we're spinning in circle right now, the point has been made I think. We can continue for a week more, we will still be at the same place.Bennn
    • I still think coming to the aid of a female shows how little you two think of Jessica. When you post a naked pic of yourself for business, it can be criticized.robotron3k
    • I wasn't defending her. I was pointing out that critiques like "She only got the agency because tits" shouldn't have a place here.noneck
    • I also pointed out that's impossible. She has no tits!pango
    • Go ahead and point it out, that's your prerogative. But can you also lead by example and contribute with actual design talk?zarkonite
    • However I'm with fate & noneck on this one. Even though the sexism is only on Schrodinger box LVL you can really blame other people for seein it as women hatingpango
    • *cantpango
    • It's a sad day when we can't discuss things openly. The dark cloud of cultural Marxism seems to be descended on QBN.youngdesigner
    • The truth is that Jessica Walsh started all of this with her provocative images. She was basically inviting or asking for this kind of response.youngdesigner
    • yes discuss things like how she got the position with her tits. which i can't mention enough, it's impossible.pango
    • "cultural marxism" - lol, get over yourself, this is a discussion. no one's stopping you from voicing your opinion.ben_

    robotron3k - I haven't been on QBN for years, catch me up. Is this your schtick now? This is how they let you act? They actually tolerate your bullshit around here?

    • fate, you seem to have had artificially high expectations returning to this design site & all u see is pics of naked middle age woman designer looking for work.robotron3k
    • Yes that's his schtick. And yes we do give him shit. If you pretend robo is not here, Qbn is quite worth the while.pango

    I really have to agree with fate and noneck. Some of you clearly just dropped from the trees, and are still dragging your knuckles.

    I actually feel sorry for you.

    • Oh boy, you're standing up for dumb fucks without analysing the lack of evidence to their clsims? Really.robotron3k

    Could the moderator place all of her nudes pics in the "Chick of the Day" or the "Official NSFW" thread where they all belongs. And keep her mediocre design in the is thread, it's that simple.

    • Fair enough. Most are tagged NSFW but don’t really belong here.Moderator
    • *moderator conflicted because she is both NSFW and a designer.. wonders to self about creating a Safe For Work Naked Designer thead...?robotron3k
  • robotron3k-1

    I'm calling bullshit on the 2 retards fate and noneck.

    They just stroking the fake flames of drama here and it's total bullshit.

    I read most of the thread again and there wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

    COTD is more misogynistic, but men and women visit and appreciate that thread. Where is your anger over that you Social Justice Whores??

    Fuck off with trying to create division here, this place is a little piece of heaven.

    • it's not only COTD it's everywhere. design stuff, pop culture, politics. people belittling each other and 3rd parties all the time, everywhere.shoes
    • 'trying to create division here' ... says the guy who spends his days trolling the Politics and Trumps threads.Continuity
    • Bull Shit Cont. If you think I see division, you haven't been paying attention. I may post on Trump, but I post more in other threads, I contribute no doubt.robotron3k
    • But I definitely don't around pooping on people who are pooping on people. Fate and noneck are just ignant hypocrites.robotron3k
    • The "Downvote" need to include our names so we can all see the pussy list.robotron3k
    • Nahhh this thread was divided before fate and noneck showed up.
      So... Can't really blame them.

    Creative Review, a respected trade pub, calls out comments on this site as misogynistic.

    This happened 7 years ago.

    And somehow, in these intervening years...in light of the #metoo movement, Trump, Weinstein, Epstein, Louis C.K., on and on...

    ...you've managed to get worse?

    • Wow dude I have no words for you. Comparing real sexism & sexual harassment & violence with bashing some designer and calling her narcissistic.NBQ00
    • Creative Review, lol, fate print magazines died.robotron3k
    • Well fuck off then.BusterBoy
  • noneck1

    Thank you, Fate. You summed up the bullshit brilliantly.

    Want to criticize Walsh's work? Go nuts. Being upset that she took over the agency, or that she only got it because she slept with Sagmeister is out of line, and should be called out.

    Roast Walsh all you want (I don't care for much of their work), as imbecile said, QBN has ridiculed male designers for a long time. But male designers weren't ridiculed for being male, unlike Walsh. That's some red pill, incel-like fuckery.

    Some of you are trying too hard to be edgy. Fuck off with that shit.

    • Only idiots would see our criticism as women-hating incel BS. It's easy to drift into identity politics when you disagree with somebody.NBQ00
    • Not directed solely at you NBQ00, but I guess I misinterpreted this https://www.qbn.com/… bullshit.noneck
    • Forgive me, I'm an idiot after all.noneck
    • Yeah I wrote "It's a joke guys" making fun of the situation.NBQ00
    • After you got called out on it.noneck
    • QBN is becoming outright toxic. Something needs to change before this place turns into 4chan.noneck
    • Uhm, how? Don't you see my note on very top. I immediately wrote it when I posted the pic. geez.NBQ00
    • yeah now "it's a joke", 4 days ago you were insisting that she's just an untalented chick that got nakedernexbcn
    • Holy shit, I even wrote "It's a joke" in the notes there. Are you guys dumb?NBQ00
    • I'm talking about your other notes on other posts on this very same thread days ago, but whatever manernexbcn
    • "But male designers weren't ridiculed for being male, unlike Walsh." Exactamundo.Nairn
    • you say it's a joke, but everything you do says otherwise.ben_
    • So when you attack people by calling them incels, aren't you just doing exactly what you said they shouldn't do?zarkonite
    • Incel is a male-only insult isn't it? I think the name-calling from both sides is really pointless and doesn't help foster conversation.zarkonite
    • Incel isn't male-only, but it's generally male. I used it as an inaccurate short-hand for the kind of bitter, sexist attitudes I see here.noneck
    • I'm just saying de-escalating sounds like a better strategy to me, calling people incels and stomping on them isn't likely to get you anything but more insults.zarkonite
    • This is absolute rubbish. I was equally scathing of Sagmeister when he paraded his cock all over the place to gain notoriety.BusterBoy

    Let's be clear: You posting your fantasies about a porno coffee table book featuring a leading male designer and his male co-workers would be just as weird and uncomfortable.

    • I wonder how low your IQ is, really. The fact that you don't get sarcasm and snarky comments on QBN. Sigh.NBQ00
    • Can you please just stop now? It doesn't get us anywhere.NBQ00

    Jessica liked one of my Instagram post once, I wasn't even following her. It was a pic of an art project and I guess she saw the hashtag, I got like 4 or 5 Likes on that post and one was from her :)

    • Bennn, you should email her and show her this thread. I'm sure she'll have a lot of fun.NBQ00

    • i call bullshit, it will disappear after this lame hype. this isn't a question of perfection. we don't alter the aspect ratio of a symbol, that's a basic rule.sted
    • @sted somewhere they said they designed a thousand ampersands or something like that, maybe this one is a custom "condensed" one?grafician
    • I don't think so, it's more like a weak and bad representation of the message the message bellow.sted
    • -the message ahah :Dsted
    • Each ampersand is created for people and brands individually, I guess this is a skinny one for skinny one?robthelad
    • What are you talking about sted? that skinny ampersand isn't the same as the big one, look at its form it's a different glyph. It's not distortion.zarkonite
    • first one:
