little Foxtrot wank
Today's comic on foxtrot_feed features Roger making ninja noises because he's wearing a black belt. Johnnywar decides that it's about epilepsy and takes offense.

In all honesty, he's a troll, based on his second comment ("I imagine a lot of epileptics will be having fits over their morning papers") and the general weirdness of it all, but some people have taken him seriously and tried to argue.

Also, this comment thread is a thing of beauty: "It's not often you see someone say 'I think that this episode of Pokemon will show you how corect your ex-roommate was.'"

Fairly harmless, yet amusing enough at 7am. I'm just sorry I missed all the fun.

This is my first wank... be gentle?

	That was... just a weird trolling. o.o I mean, who sees that comic and immediately goes "I think I'll link that to epilepsy..." I could see him making it about mental retardation or, like, autism or something, but who picks -epilepsy- to troll about...? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	If anything, I would have expected the wank to be about racism - Whitey co-opting martial arts, that sort of thing. But yeah, epilepsy? What, did he just pick a random wank topic out of a hat? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Hey! I'll have you know that I ~~have Asperger syndrome~~ am autistic and that not all of us make those noises! ~~We just sit in the corner rocking back and forth like loons~~. You've grossly offended me and first thing tomorrow morning I shall be calling my lawyer and suing you for emotional trauma! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Hoy, don't you have any good Vampire Gehenna wank you could bring us? Something must be rumbling down at the nocturnis.net forums, and I'll be so, so saaaaad if you don't display it soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But I'm responsible for most of those wanks. What am I supposed to do, report myself? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I just found this.

I actually didn't start out trying to cause trouble; I was just making a joke, and I thought it was pretty obviously a joke. Why did I pick epilepsy? Because it didn't make any sense to, but it made a vague kind of sense at the same time.

The more people got angry and took it too seriously, the more I joked.

Anyway, I am glad you liked it.
