Okay, okay, take a deep breath...

[ImAWaffle]

Okay, okay, take a deep breath...First of all, let me say that I'm glad that no one else has called to attention the recent article at Crush!Yiff!Destroy!

On one hand, it shows that we're thick-skinned enough to not let it trouble us.
But on the other, if we ignore it completely then it becomes the "elephant in the sitting room".

So, just so we can get it over and done with, let's settle on the following sentiment;

Getting upset about being made fun of on Crush!Yiff!Destroy! is kind of like getting upset about your drive-thru order getting messed up. It's just one of those inevitable little annoyances in life that happens to everyone.

So let's just agree that the best way to deal with this is to roll our eyes, let them have their little laugh, and just move on, allowing the whole thing to be forgotten as it is destined to be.

Fair enough?L

I'm glad you brought that to my attention. I was in need of a good laugh.

[Comrade K]

What?

What happened?

[CodeCat]

Aw well, at least I take pleasure in actually knowing better. I don't need a review like that to realise what a comic is like. Things are seen so much better through my own eyes than they are through those of another.

I kept pondering whether to show you guys the page, then decided it was a headache DCS didn't need. The best I could say about those merciless, hit-'em-with-all-we-got-and-some-we-don't-got bullies is that they attack conservative stuff like "Nip & Tuck" as well, but that's like appreciating Jeremy for picking on Felicia if he ever did. Besides, I think N&T got off relatively easy.

Even at the height of my snarky period, I would not have liked that site much.K

most intruiging read that is...i love the way they make out anyone who reads O&M is a profound worshipper of it...maybe we just appreciate the art and comedy of the strip...

but hey, everyone's entitled to their opinion...even if its retarded.

[_SeHT]

Ehhh. It's common enough. It's called backlash. It's called narrow-mindedness. It's called a lot of things.

I call it, 'I can't do any better than sit and rant at something done by someone much more talented myself on the grounds that they did it and I didn't, even though it's taken them 10 years to get to be this good at what they do and this [relatively! -- _SeHT] small level of recognition. But they have, and I haven't, so I'm going to rain on their parade, and point and laugh and bitch, then I'm going to go right on over and kick their sandcastle down for good measure, because I'm a venomous little bully shit who doesn't know any better and can't do any better and never will. Oh, and if you're different to me, inasmuch as not being a white middle-class Anglo-Saxon heterosexual Christian, then I hate you on principle and hope you'll burn in hell. God bless!'

... or words to that effect.

I have multiple shorter names for such people, but none of them are repeatable here.

[Priest_Revan]

I lost 10 IQ points reading that.

[Bocaj Claw]

...but not quite as 'straight' as in the supposedly unauthorized O&M porn circulating fchan!

Wait. Are they implying what I think they're insinuating?

[Bocaj Claw]

Anyway, it seems to be the typical kind of rant/review. All done by official formula for improved flavor.

1.) ZOMG! ANIMAL CHARACTERS! AHHHHHHHHHHH!
2.) Liberal views! Oh noes!
3.) Hah hah! Wouldn't it be funny if we got all our information off the cast page and maybe two weeks of the most recent comic?
4.) Lets call the author insane and spend half the review on that point rather then actually talking about the comic. That always goes over well.
5.) ???
6.) World domination.

[The Donmeister]

I see.
Anyway,
This line was too much:

"Simpson is secretly a misogynist who believes all women are objects and therefore are undeserving of names."

It's quite the article.

I laughed SO hard on reading that.


Up until a minute ago, I never even knew this site existed, let alone the article. And I don't care any more about it now than I did a minute ago.
'Nuff said.u

[Bocaj Claw]

Who's this Nuff? Why is he always saying stuff?! :shock:Z

[Tabris_The_17th]

Who's this Nuff? Why is he always saying stuff?!

He's pretty good friends with Pete, of "for the love of Pete" fame.6

[The Donmeister]

Don't forget Ron.

But we'll leave him for later on.N

[Bocaj Claw]

Is this the same Pete of "for Pete's sake" legend?

And who's Ron?/
