Sublunary mini-wank: "Read the goddamn bio!"
It looks like our good friends at the "mind-provoking" webcomic Sublunary are wanking again, and just as hard as before.

An update is posted to Sublunary's Updates LJ, only it's making fun of people asking questions as to why a character is floating (I figured it was just a mistake from the artist), and that the people who asked were "not good enough fans" (and n00bs apparently). Apparently you have to read all the bios or you're a horrible person.

For every person who doesn't read bios and stuff because they expected it to actually be part of the story already, SHAME ON YOU.

[edit: Thanks to a mouse, we bring in racist wank too! According to the mouse, "there was some wank earlier on why the characters look the same and why there isn't any characters of any other skin color. It got deleted tho." Apparently the creator said this: "Oh for godsake, we're not being fucking racist. It's not important to the story to have fucking African American people in the comic". And here's the fallout. ]

[edit 2: IF YOU DUN LIKE IT DUN READ IT OMG. :gets out that little violin:]

[Edit 3: And lo, there was deletions! Much of the dissenting anonymouse comments in the "IF YOU DUN LIKE IT DUN READ IT OMG" link are deleted and there was much groveling and backpatting by the OMG TRU fans syphocants.]

She said 'I don't have to explain anything to anyone. '

Excuse me??

But don't you have to because, I don't know, you're the damn writer??

Ahhh, Sublunary. It's one big, and awful Mary-Sue PWP fic disguised as a comic that a raver projectile vomited glowsticks onto. I dunno why, I just love sporking this thing...

...also, that writer needs to take her damn head out of her ass. She's lucky enough to have fans with that piece o' crap, now she's abusing them? Dumbass. If people are kind neough to appreciate your work, then be patient and kind in turn. Or did she forget that no one is required to read shitty slash comics, they do it by choice?

Also IT'S RETARDED that Toby floats.

I had to turn off Norton Firewall in order to be able to see the comic.

It wasn't worth it. :(


As for the "having no black characters" thing.. I dunno, I always think of Cowboy Bebop as a good example of a story that didn't necessarily need characters of other races either, but put them in because it would have been stupid to assume that, in a futuristic setting spanning many planets, no one but white people exists. Granted, Sublunary also takes place way, way in the future, and according to the plot synopsis (which was tl;dr, really, so I skimmed-- I mean, when your plot explanation is as long as your comic, there's a problem), spans the entire planet, but--

Really, I'd just chalk it up to the fact that 99% of anime only features white people, and more than likely, even if the artist tried to draw other nationalities, her style is such that they'd just look like she'd drawn white people and chosen a brown color with the fill tool in photoshop. Such is the anime style of drawing.

Whew! I just realized that whole thing is like two huge run-on sentences. Ah well, it's early and I'm barely caffeinated.

God, Sublunary sucks. I don't really care about what the art looks like (because my drawings all look the same too) but holy crap, talk about horrible story telling. Character bios are not supposed to be a safety net for writers too lazy to, you know, actually write, Sublunary author.

Screw it. I'm going to go read Friendly Hostility. Collin's ten times hotter than any of those raver rejects.

I waas wondering when this would end up here. I would have reported it myself, but I feel guilty about wanking anonymously in the thread itself.

That said, I hate Sublunary with the burning passion of a thousand suns (it's every brain-eating yaoi cliche ever penned tied up in a subtley homophobic package of cheesy costumes and badly drawn porn). I'm just here for the wank *munches popcorn*

I'll admit that my webcomic doesn't have the best art in the world, but seeing that has suddenly made me feel a hell of a lot better about my own artistic skills.

And it's time for another edition of "Fen Attack: When Fangirls Get Famous!" There's something exquisite about the bitchiness of those whose fame rests on the most tenuous of pedestals and whose fans are mostly too young to vote. The defensiveness, the ad hominem attacks, the minions' slavering obsequiousness... *snrfff* Ah, I love the smell of combusting fangirl in the morning.

I propose that henceforth we draw a distinction between people who are "famous" (Donald Rumsfeld, Britney Spears, Brad Pitt) and people who are "famouse" (cosplayers, fan artists, BNFs, webcomic artists with underaged fan bases). That way, when the sockpuppets pile in to screech that "You're jelos bcuz she's famouse!", they will be at least partly right.

On a whole, thanks for the criticism. But what it really comes down to is: If you don't like it, don't read it. Don't constantly rag on us for doing something we enjoy. Everything popular has critics, that's just the way it is.

So, um, how old are these kids? Just curious.

I'm surprised no one's commented on the extremely random Japanese sound effects in the comic.

Jesus, Japanese = does not make anything better. You're writing "tsuchi" or some weird ass sound. Just write it in English, its not mysterious and cool. Its frankly annoying to people who are studying the language but realize it has its place and time. Japanese abuse is not cool.

The composition is just HORRIBLE. The artist clearly has no sense of page layout or how the eye moves, or any notion of character design. I think I could get better results from stabbing myself repeatedly in the eyes.
