Now, I'm fairly fresh in modelling, and I haven't really managed to find any reasons to why N-gons are bad besides wonky stretching, yet I stumble upon them very very often (such as beveled corners, picture related).

If anyone could educate my inept ass on either why N-gons are bad and why I shouldn't use them, or if there are acceptable uses of them, that would be just lovely.

>oh look it's this thread again
Wonky stretching, bad shading, bad deformations, bad practice.
Take your pick.

I'm content with the shading answer. Having a reason to avoid it is sufficient motivation.

Subdivide the mesh. If it pinches then it's bad if it's on a flat surface and it wont be animated then it's fine, so are triangles.

This.

Misleading information, except for bad practice. But if it saves you a bunch of time making ngons on flat surfaces, use them if time is important.

Will also cause problems when bent in animation and will fuck up your renders

Never go ngon
