As a side note, while I haven't fought bees before, I have been in a chase scene with a nest of wasps that I stepped on once. It didn't end well.
Oh right... Ok I get it now. Very funny. ¬__¬IceForce said:A repeat of this, probably:Thunderous Cacophony said:I've got no idea what's going on or what this comic is about, but clearly something is going to happen.

Check out the size of that thread.
And try to count the number of bans in there. There are simply too many to count.
Here, let me help you with that:Dinosorcerer said:I could use every ounce of your rage!http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view1/20140131/4967673/jeremy-irons-d-d-o.gif
That was my favorite part about the last comic. =PRatherDull said:Beta holding an MLP doll was crossing the line in my opinion.Legion said:In case you are not joking it is a reference to a previous comic that they did.Thunderous Cacophony said:I've got no idea what's going on or what this comic is about, but clearly something is going to happen.

WGDF stands for White Guy Defence Force.
The other one was... divisive to say the least.
EDIT: Double Ninja'd.
EDIT 2: I just noticed the Yellow one has a Fedora and is tipping it constantly, plus they mention Euphoric. I don't think I had a clue about those stereotypes back when it first came out.
I hope it is. The entire universe will implode on itself in a storm of white-hot rage. The Escapist will basically become reverse-tumblr.RatherDull said:Please tell me this is not in response to the shooting...
I take it back. THIS needs to be the topic. That would just be incredible.RatherDull said:Please tell me this is not in response to the shooting...
Do you understand that that's exactly why it was put into the comic in the first place? The entire comic - from start to finish - was specifically designed to poke as many possible hornets' nests as they could. That's why they're not just making up "white guy" excuses. Red is a "bro", Blue is a "brony", and Yellow has a fedora. It's layers upon layers of flame-bait!RatherDull said:Bronies get enough **** for going against the grain for what they love.RJ 17 said:That was my favorite part about the last comic. =PRatherDull said:Beta holding an MLP doll was crossing the line in my opinion.Legion said:In case you are not joking it is a reference to a previous comic that they did.Thunderous Cacophony said:I've got no idea what's going on or what this comic is about, but clearly something is going to happen.

Not an MLP fan myself but I can empathize with them on this one.
Silly, silly Topaz - you know everybody's either going to go Leeroy Jenkins in this ***** or just watch from the sidelines. I hope you like Hearthstone, because you're going to have to do a LOT of Control. >TopazFusion said:Unfortunately, we can't lock Featured Content or News Room threads.RJ 17 said:Soooooooooooooooooo many bans. I'm surprised the mods didn't just up and lock the comment section like they do for regular threads that seem specifically designed to get people banned. =3
We can only lock user-made threads, not officially-made threads.
And yeah, the previous WGDF thread became the final resting place for sooooo many users.
I'm sure everyone has learned their lesson, and will behave themselves admirably in the next thread? [small]Oh, who am I kidding...[/small]
I think it's probably more to do with people screaming "SJW" every five seconds.RatherDull said:Please tell me this is not in response to the shooting...
I think it's in response to the "#NotAllMen" trend that popped up in response to the "#YesAllWomen" one on Twitter.Zachary Amaranth said:I think it's probably more to do with people screaming "SJW" every five seconds.RatherDull said:Please tell me this is not in response to the shooting...
Indeed they were, but Grey wasn't saying that bronies have knee-jerk reactions to racism/etc. They knew that the topic for that comic was likely to gain a lot of heat considering the nature of this forum. On any given day you can always find at least 3 topics created on sexism/racism/gender issues/what-have-you somewhere on this site. But why stop there? They decided to go all out and just started adding in little details to rope in even MORE heat. Which is why Twilight Sparkle is tucked comfortably under Blue's arm. It's why Yellow's current status is Euphoric. It's why Red thinks that Erin is "mirin'".RatherDull said:I thought they were caricatures for the people who have kneejerk reactions to claims of racism or sexism in media or society.RJ 17 said:Do you understand that that's exactly why it was put into the comic in the first place?
