Hah, the "Can't wait to see this one on imgur with no credit" tag really slayed me. But what's the "certain other webcomic" that is generating all this apparent controversy I'm missing out on? Is it Erin Dies Alone? I didn't see anything particularly riling about that, so far...
I dont quite get it. Why is square head tearing up the art? Isn't he the one that wants to defend/preserve it from Triangle head?
Well said.wizzy555 said:
Anyone who has studied art history or even flipped to the back of a newspaper knows politics exist in art, but not every piece of art invites political discussion.
I'm guessing it's Full Frontal Nerdity. Some people don't seem to like it as much.Gasbandit said:
That's the point - their argument is not about the picture, neither Triangle nor Square care about the picture one bit, just their offended sensibilities. The picture became nothing but a bullet for the idiots to shoot at each other.cthulhuspawn82 said:
Perhaps the point is that whichever side of the argument these people find themselves on, they end up doing more harm than good. Also the point of it not being about defending the art but going out to be mad at THE ENEMY and in the end, just using the original subject as ammunition in the war.cthulhuspawn82 said:
While I generally let comments like this slide, I'll bite. Every CM comic was designed to make people laugh. Some of them succeed, others don't, and sometimes some people get their feelings hurt in the process, but I've never written a comic designed purely to annoy people.EvilRoy said:
Oddly enough, the "you're just trolling comments" always come from people who feel they're the butt of a particular joke.
Right, that anyone who ever argues or debates about something is an idiot.RJ 17 said:

Hold on a second, you're turning down the opportunity to be viewed as the Tony Stark of comic ammunition.The Wooster said:
I'd say your sense of humor can't help but not create ammunition because of the controversy angle you provide. As your comic illustrates, that it is used as ammunition isn't any more your fault than a person who builds fire irons is responsible for the misuse of their creation.
I can't wait until there's a feminazi equivalent for the group. That's when you'll know they've arrived.Evil Smurf said:
Certainly you try to make people laugh, and succeed fairly often for myself at least, but that doesn't really change the fact that you definitely target people or groups now and then. For instance, even though a lot of people had a good laugh at it, I don't know if you can claim that some of the Evelagon comics were anything but aimed directly one fandom.The Wooster said:
I'm not saying "you're just trolling", I'm saying it seems weird that you don't like your art to be used as bullets by idiots, when you have totally intentionally armed idiots in the past - giving a dude a bullet that makes him giggle is pretty much the same as giving him a normal non-funny bullet when he fires it.
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding, and you don't care one way or the other what idiot uses what stuff as ammo and this is just a commentary on the reality that it happens. Can't really read minds long distance since the device was confiscated, so I can only interpret what I see.

Also feminazi is a term coined by Rush Limbaugh, you should probably avoid it, and say radical feminists if that's what you mean. A social movement for equality should not be compared to the third reich.
