Yeah, I'm done with the comic. If I thought it was entertaining to be preached at I would watch an evangelist channel.
I thought the last one was a tad mean, but this was just damn funny.
People get pretty worked up over some pretty petty stuff.
Bravo Grey, bravo.

That is the downside to restricting what people can say to one another really. Some will ignore it, act nastily and get hit with the banhammer. Many will simply not post and a few will learn to post nicely. Then a whole bunch of people will try and find a way to insult one another without getting banned for it.anthony87 said:
After all, making rules so people cannot be rude isn't going to change peoples personalities. it just prevents them from showing it.
OT: I liked this one, although I do find it kind of wrong that the rules against making accusations of trolling are being enforced in the comments for this comic when the comic is quite often the definition of it.
This after all, cannot be called anything else.Grey Carter said:
Note: I am not offended in the slightest, I don't mind it (watching peoples reactions is often just as funny as the comic), just the fact that it cannot be called out for what it is.
I really don't think they are super concerned with promoting "honest discussion and progress". I think they are primarily concerned with putting out a popular comic.Krantos said:
The point is that the best referential humour (in this case, satire and parody) are borne from affection. Humour borne from anything else, in the rare event that it is funny, will date quickly. In this case, the humour was borne from intentional controversy (better known as 'trolling') and a desire to draw out a jab at an easy target. Example: I don't think you're going to see any 'blackface' pantomimes any time in the near future, when a century or two ago they were all the rage. This comic is running on the same brand of humour, but directing it at one of our generation's easy targets instead.Amir Kondori said:
Mel Brooks made two movies about a Nazi musical, while being Jewish - as tongue in cheek as it was, it never pointed any fingers and came out all the stronger for it. That's what his quote meant.
Hope that clears things up.
Hello there, part of the people who "by inaction let a vocal minority speak in my name" here.
I don't "let" anyone speak in my name, because it implies I can stop people from around the world from saying stupid crap. I can't, you can't, no-one can. The best way to deal with them is to ignore their comments, just let it go, stop giving them attention, it might sound crazy but it's not a issue worth stressing over.
People who play videogames already are a very small portion of the world'd population, those who can even be arsed to read gaming websites even smaller, and those who comment are smaller even and inside this tiny, insignificant group of people there's an even smaller group who'll say stupid shit. And you're giving those people the spotlight on your webcomic and your news site.
