You complain about voting every time you battle, even when you win. Of course some voters are idiots. That's how it works.

don't stifle my freedom of expression. I can comment on voting in general
people must discuss it or it becomes stagnant and repetitive.
is it wrong to point out others mistakes and correct them so they don't make the same mistakes again?

plus, I'm not talking about voting, I'm talking about vocabulary lessons for the board

He's right in a way tho, if ppl aren't smart enough to understand simple wordplays, they shouldn't be surprised when ppl feel the need to explain their lines.

Although you could say it is down to the writer to word it in such a way that there is no confusion, but one can only do so much.

Not that I care, topical is where it's at.

text battling is pretty corny, the only thing worse, is a text battler complaining about voting being shitty

you should "dumb your verses down for the plebians" because they are the ones voting on it?

ever think about that? maybe you just suck at writing? maybe you can't convey the message/point clearly.

ive done topicals and shit here and there over the years, and there was nothing cornier than hearing some topical vet cry and complain about how voters didnt "get" there verse, meanwhile i won because i wasnt trying to be deep and force metaphors and garbage wordplays

in text battling its even worse cuz you niggas dont even care about flow, so if you have a shred of an idea for a shitty punch, you will force that concept in a shittily worded line and then be mad when the readers have difficulty trying to figure out what the fuck your talking about

Very well articulated. When you're writing competitively, you write for the people who decide if you win or lose. It hurts creativity, sure. It's the primary reason why battle verses tend to look pretty much the same every time. But you write to win, or you shouldn't be writing competitively at all. You can drop a punchline-filled braggadocio verse or site diss in Open Mic if you're sick of voters and still want to write punchlines. But most of us are competitive motherfuckers.

I agree with this.

But also, sometimes people are dumb and it's hard not to call them dumb, but you have to because if you call them dumb people will call you dumb.

I agree tho, don't blame the voter, blame the writer...that's always been my motto...well not really my motto, but I've always believed it...it's the job of the writer to make sure their intended meaning gets across.

Still tho, some people ARE dumb.
