Fuck cute/funny/childish T-shirts on Threadless

Why is it that 90 % of all products that wins are cute/funny/childish?

I've seen some pretty neat serious, abstract or darker designs, that have super quality, but they always get beaten by some tees with a "haha sweet! It,s a Bear with a hat! Must have" print on them...

Come on, didn't you see how fast a shirt like "I Love Tokyo" got sold out? It wasent funny, it was very talented...

Join me on my crusade!

Vote zero (Or at least a low score god dammit!) on the cute/funny/childish stuff, and give somebody with a different design a chance!

(Oh yea.. Get mad all of you, let me feed on your anger!!!!)

hehe, fat cat

cuteness trumps teen angst

matchstick on Dec 04 '07 at 3:53pm

engrish, pls!

potty mouthed fatheed

I see what your saying but there aint no way I am zer0ing a design just cos its cute.

iPear on Dec 04 '07 at 3:54pm

I mean, I don't care for most funny/cute shirts but even if I don't think I'm gonna wear it, it doesn't mean it should be 0'd, especially if it's a decent design.

kekle3 on Dec 04 '07 at 3:55pm

Yup.. English aren't my first language (Also, I wrote it kinda fast, just needed to get it out..)

Don't get the idea of the cat :P

mype4nut on Dec 04 '07 at 3:58pm

I think they do a pretty good job at putting out a good variety of cute/clever/arty/conceptual/beautiful/funny designs each week. There is always at least one tee I want to buy each week, and that's a lot compared to regular stores. I don't think there's anything to complain about.

fatheed on Dec 04 '07 at 3:59pm

Pardon my tourettes. I was just trying to inject some anger. Like them or not, there is a market for the cute ones. Just get here on time to get the ones you want. Everyone happy!

MrDomino on Dec 04 '07 at 4:00pm

While I would love Threadless to print more daring stuff, I think there's room for a variety of work to fit the variety of the public. I try to vote what I think is appropriate in most situations.

skafiend007 on Dec 04 '07 at 4:00pm

I'm working on a design of baby koala bear with a hard-on.... where does that fall?

fatheed on Dec 04 '07 at 4:01pm

You shouldn't, in theory have to zero any design that gets past Ross and Craig. Unless you find out it's copied or something, or you have a deep moral or ethical objection to it. At least recognise the time someone has put into it - even it it does suck hard.

fatheed on Dec 04 '07 at 4:01pm

lol @ ska

skafiend007 on Dec 04 '07 at 4:03pm

That's so weird, cause I was doing one where a fairy princess and a panda were meeting for brunch, sipping unicorn giggles as they watched the sun set over a rainbow colored scene. And on the back they're hugging.

kekle3 on Dec 04 '07 at 4:07pm

Im just very tired of artist like this guy

http://www.threadless.com/submission/141356/bolt/showmore,designs

Who never gets shit printed, even though much of it rules!

Know that the bolt is done alot, but the colour, and the "things" inside it are very detailed, but it gets only a 1.90.. BAH!

MooseDinner on Dec 04 '07 at 4:11pm

Fuck all those businesses that sell things that people buy. They should all sell things that I want, like orange juice and comfortable shoes.

SoulfumeInc on Dec 04 '07 at 4:35pm

i completely agree.

im not gonna go around giving zeros to those other designs, but I have to say a lot of sweet designs get passed up for an octopus carrying a teddy bear through a dark forest with other random silly monsters watching....just an example.

I completely agree though.

Krakaboom on Dec 04 '07 at 4:41pm

1. Cute tees tend to sell very well, so while you may not like them, there's obviously plenty of other people who do. After all, Threadless is a business and they want to cater to different tastes.

2. If a design scores low, it's (usually) an indication that it's not as popular amongst the community. So there's no point moaning that designs you think are nice don't get printed, because obviously not many people agree with you.

3. Just buy the ones that appeal to you and don't buy the ones that you don't like - it's not difficult. Even if ALL the shirts printed every week were to your taste it's not likely that you would buy the lot, anyway.

gtoast99 on Dec 04 '07 at 4:42pm

"an octopus carrying a teddy bear through a dark forest with other random silly monsters watching"

Is that a shirt? Cuz I totally want that. Seriously.

chubacabra1031 on Dec 04 '07 at 4:42pm

funny pictures

moar funny pictures

Kerrn on Dec 04 '07 at 4:43pm

...but threadless doesnt just cater to artsy community...it's a place where you can get sweet shirts for you and your mom

so far i've got shirts for just about everyone in my family, which is an age group from 14 to 55

the first shirt i bought was communist party but i quickly switched to the more interesting designy, less joke based shirts

sometimes the cuteness can get overwhelming, but i look at is as a way of keeping me from spending more money than i should on tshirts

-k.

Chipmnk on Dec 04 '07 at 4:44pm

But the last time I had sexual relations with cute/funny/childish shirts, everyone yelled at me.

Coat on Dec 04 '07 at 4:45pm

I bought Take Me to Tokyo D:

todiefor on Dec 04 '07 at 4:46pm

THREADLESS IS A BUSINESS FIRST AND FOREMOST.

It doesn't have to have cool contests, or give out stuff to its customers just because they love us.

I get what you're saying, but think about it.

You couldn't complain to any other store, you just wouldn't shop there.

I agree about the cutesy designs, but hey, people say they'll buy them, and they do.

kekle3 on Dec 04 '07 at 4:52pm

Im not saying it to them.. Im saying to to you :P

You have (very limited) power to vote good on something else than sweet stuff..

But you can't always have your pie, and eating it too...

skafiend007 on Dec 04 '07 at 5:14pm

A cute skunk with the words "L'il Stinker" above....

oh, and the skunk is raping a turtle.

BearHuntParrot on Dec 04 '07 at 5:15pm

rawr. the bear hates your sweater

todiefor on Dec 04 '07 at 5:19pm

Exactly. So even if we all voted zeros on every cute design, Threadless still has the final say so on whether it gets printed or not.

Sepaltura22 on Dec 04 '07 at 7:32pm

im with you all the way Ken! i agree 100%! Ive seen totally awesome shirts that are way better than mine and what do they get ? a 1 or 2 just because they're dark themed. what the hell?

doesnt cute and cuddly ever get boring around here?

Roostersauce on Dec 04 '07 at 7:56pm

"doesnt cute and cuddly ever get boring around here?"

Doesn't black and angry ever get boring for you?

Robsoul on Dec 04 '07 at 8:04pm

kittens POOPING rainbows ftw... i'll $5 that beyotch

secretly robots on Dec 04 '07 at 8:08pm

threadless should have some kind of "don't buy it" feature, where if you dont like a shirt you don't have to buy it... maybe you could suggest that

Robsoul on Dec 04 '07 at 8:25pm

^ hahaha

yeah, why don't they have that feature???? craziness

squatterjohn on Dec 04 '07 at 8:56pm

While I find the anecdotal evidence presented by a guy who owns "Bleeding Heart" quite compelling, you only have to look at the main page to see there's not much cute on Threadless at all. There's a giant bunny, a baby batman, a baby bird in your pocket, a ghoul with an ice cream and some penguins all sharing space next to a punk cock, a grotty hotel room, a scary forest, a black spot and whatever scary stuff is going on in The Raven's Cry. And in between them, there's a bunch of tees about music and seafaring. So I'm sorry, but I feel the Threadless catalogue is very diverse and should remain that way. If you don't like cute, don't buy it.

Aristarchus on Dec 04 '07 at 9:17pm

I own, give, and enjoy a healthy mix of amusing, infantile, and artsy shirts.

I like that Threadless has a healthy mix of amusing, infantile, and artsy shirts for sale.

The fact that Threadless sells very few shit shirts on their site suggests to me that they are already aware of what is scoring well and what their diverse customer base enjoys.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Dec 04 '07 at 9:22pm

Stupidest crusade since the Seige of Anitoch.

canadianbeaver on Dec 05 '07 at 7:25am

Just remember, when you put on a t-shirt, you are fucking it, and you will feel better.
