See, that's not a big deal. It's not elitist to personally not like the drawing style- it's the difference for not picking up manhwa because you don't like the particular stylistic differences it usually has (as one of my friends), and just refusing to try it and mocking it because it's "omg not Japanese." I agree that most of the stuff that's coming out is really pretty bad. Return to Labyrinth (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/multimoog/labyrinth/2.gif) was particularly hideous (not-so-great webcomic quality with a misleadingly gorgeous cover (http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/1598167251.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V62582744_.jpg)), but I personally enjoyed Shutterbox (http://www.sfolse.net/manga_analysis/shoujo/shutterbox-1-near-beginning.jpg) and wish it was being released a little faster (lol my attention span).
Really, if something's crappily drawn, it's crappily drawn. But I think some Japanese manga isn't that well drawn, and some American and Korean manga/manhwa styles are done well. And personally, for me, if something has a style I'm "meh" about by I like/love the story, I don't care about the drawing style- but something can be absolutely gorgeous and bore me to tears, and in that case I think it's not too well done (koff koff Alichino koff). So... *shrugs* Personal opinion, yeah? I just go ":/" at the fact that they're lambasting everything not-Japanese as "lazy copying" that doesn't deserve to be professional and isn't good enough unless it's coming out of Japan. Mergh.
