Line 22:
** Never, ''never'', '''NEVER''' mention "Tracing" at all on DA. [[Department of Redundancy Department|NEVER!]] The flame-filled cries of "IT'S ART THEFT!" VS "It helps artists practice different styles" would be enough to reduce the internet to ash.
*** Also, the idea of using references of any sort. Either you're just someone who is practicing a new style and using a screenshot as a learning aid, or you're a thief who is "copying" someone else's work out of "laziness". There is no middle ground it seems.
** Draw a character, ''any'' character [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|as a pony]]. Good luck ''not'' inticing a flame war.
** In general, it's a bad idea to ask if people should disable comments or not. These usuall escalate into flames shouting "They just can't handle criticism!" VS "People should have the right to censor comments they don't like!" VS "They're just over-sensitive" VS "People won't stop trolling!" and variations thereof.
** In general, ''never'' mention you have Autism/Asperger's Syndrome (or that you know someone who does). Otherwise, you'll just bring up the old flame war of "Autistics are people too!" VS "Ass-Burgers is just an excuse to be a jerk!".
Line 53:
*** And, on the subject of Inflation Art, "Breast Inflation VS Butt Inflation". Yes, there are flame wars over this. No, you really don't want to start one (even unintentionally).
* Ballet videos on youtube invariably set of flame wars. For one thing, there are a bunch of different styles and every poster thinks the way their teacher taught them is correct or better. For another, while the dancers are usually pretty healthy , the posters will invariably start fighting among themselves on whether the model is too skinny or fat or just right. If the girl has a little muscle tone ( the sort you'd associate with broadway or acrobatic dancers) the fighting will get even worse, with different parties arguing that she is both too skinny and too fat.
* [[Sean Malstrom]]. [[Shown Their Work|Well-researched]] video game blogger, or [[Small Name, Big Ego|self-aggrandizing]] [[Troll]]?
* The [[Bio Ware]] Social Forums. You have to feel some sympathy for the moderators and Bioware employees who regularly post on the boards, because the epic amount of flamebait and arguing that goes on over there would kill lesser mortals. Some notable examples:
** Any announcement of [[DLC]] content for any ''[[Mass Effect]]'' game (especially alternate costumes for the supporting characters) will be met with, "Why doesn't (character x) have armor yet?", "Why haven't you fixed Legion's armor?" and "Bioware sucks for releasing this instead of story-driven DLC." When story-driven DLC is announced, people yell, "Why isn't the Virmire survivor in this DLC?", "This is too expensive and I can't afford it - you suck", and "2 hours? TOO SHORT!!!"
Line 69:
** Bringing up the Nostalgia Critic's infamous [[Let's Play]] and the accompanying [[Retsupurae]]. Want extra heat? Take any side; whether the LP was atrocious and deserved the riffing, if Retsupurae should stay on Youtube, or even if you like or dislike both of them.
* [[The Irate Gamer]]. Seriously. Just bringing up his name anywhere WILL start a flame war. There's a reason his main TV Tropes page is locked.
* Because it's well known that [[
* On the subject of [[Retsupurae]], mention the SSoHPKC RP around his fans. Then step back. Waaaaay back.
* [http://www.kony2012.com/ Kony 2012.] Oh, where do we even start? The campaign is an attempt to get notoriously [[Ax Crazy]] [[African Terrorists|Joseph Kony]] to justice, and many responded to the video they posted positively. But then people started doing some research... it turns out that Invisible Children(the charity behind the campaign) only donates '''31%''' of the proceeds to actual help, the rest going to themselves and their filmmaking business. The money that does go toward Africa goes towards the [[
** And then, [http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/jason-russell-san-diego-invisible-children-kony-2012-142970255.html this happened.] Invisible Children's credibility is practically gone after this little incident.
