Web Comic Docu-Wank
A documentary on web comic-ry is released. So of course, the bad boys of of the internet start with the wank immediately.

It starts with a relatively brief mention and, of course, a comic strip.

A few days later, Gabe posts links to the wank, thus making my job much easier.

Goats

Websnark

And a few others

Edit: The trailer to the documentary is long, long gone, unfortunately. You would think they'd expect the massive bandwidth jump with PVP and PA linking it. *eyeroll*

In brilliant timing, I just read all that stuff.

And I can't see the trailer as the site appear to be down :(

It's like Krahulik and Holkins are so desperate to be cool that they're emulating the jocks in high school.

Isn't this like some variation on Snacky's Law?

Why are they bitching about PA making fun of people like it's something new? Isn't that what they do?

Yeah, I know. Here's some other news items they may find shocking:

Next you'll be telling me that Santa Claus is dead.

I'm guessing some haven't grasped the concept that many people find humor at other people's expense - well, humourous.

I guess they haven't. They should hang out here more, we seem to have grasped it like...erm...dammit. [Insert hand job joke here.]

From the foromopolis forum

love a lot of websnark rants, but in this case... I think he's projecting a weeee bit.

It also amuses me to no end that the universal WORST THING EVER to call someone in geek culture is a bully and talk about school. I swear it's the new version of Godwin's law.


OMG, Snacky's law sighting!!!

Heh, you should have seen ME, jumping up and down in my chair going "Snacky's Law, SNACKY'S LAW!!!!"

My neighbours must think I'm nuts.

Oops, nope, they figured that one out years ago. Nevermind.

I noticed there was a link to the work of one of the artists in the documentary. After taking a look, I have to ask: Is it me, or is Narbonic sorta ugly and faux-animeish? "Artistic theory", my drunken ass.

It ain't just you. Comic's pretty funny, but the art leaves me wishing for lots and lots of erasers.

... that made no sense. Off to help others!

Meh, on the scale of faux-anime styled things, Narbonic is low on my list of eyesores. Of course, I think I justify it a little, as Shannon Garrity works as a translator for Viz...

It's been a long while since I've been to PA or PvP. I'm so glad I reconnected with this wank.

I burst out laughing with PAs "meeeeen" offering. God that was hilarious.

Seriously though, they all got their panties...er...tighty whities in a twist over a lame documentary that already dates itself and isn't even out yet?

And people tell me I get tied up in knots over nothing. Sheesh. :P

Well, at least Tycho and Gabe weren't called "the mean girls in high school..."

I sorta feel the sentiment behind the Websnark thing - but then, I still have a varsity jacket in my closet, and letters all over the place. (Okay, so it's varsity marching band, but wuteva. I also have letters from track, if that counts for anything.)

On the other hand, Snacky's Law is getting abused like Tina...oh God, I'm so going to hell for this.

Aw. Penny Arcade love.

I usually skim the news posts, so I was wondering wtf was going on. That said: Kurtz is a tool. The end.

heheh, gtyrrell has by far the best summary of the Websnark rant, found here:

The more times I have to hit the "PgDn" key when reading Eric Burns, the more likely I'm going to have the words, "drama queen" running through my head. This was an 8-PgDn rant, and the only thing I could think of at the end was, "He couldn't have said that in 250 words?" Here, I'll try now:

Cat Garza believes in what he’s doing, even if it doesn’t work out the way that he wants it to all the time. This passion means that if he’s talking about something he loves doing, you aren’t allowed to criticize or make fun of him.
Tycho and Gabe have achieved commercial success, which means that they’re now The Man, and for them to point out the foibles of anybody who isn’t another iteration of The Man is mean and evil and bad. We can tell they’re mean and evil and bad because Kurtz agreed with them this time, and even if this is the one time he’s not ranting like he’s off his meds, he must be wrong.
I like Sports Night. Anybody who calls shenanigans on me for this tirade is a bully because I’m pre-emptively declaring myself to be the victim. So there.
One forty-three, one forty-four, one forty-five. Still plenty of room for padding. I'll go back later to work in some tea & sympathy, and tasty, tasty biscuits.

Is it just me or is Websnark just packed to the gills with bullshit? I mean, everytime someone links there and I go it's like bullshit starts leaking out of the monitor... seriously, I need to get a paper towel here...

DannoHung wins.

If anyone is still paying attention, Scott Kurtz and Tycho (scroll down, its the last entry on Thursday) both posted responses to the wankerific websnarkity.

Brief summary:
Scott Kurtz- Uh, I can see both sides, but Tycho had a point and you all need to calm down.
Tycho- I refuse to revise my position. Oh yeah, and Scott McCloud is a dick.

Cheers. ;)
