Yeah, it's weird how reviews are sort of permanently relevant. Just the other day, someone linked to my
TwoKinds review on Fischbach's dA, and I posted that review here in February 2013. I don't mind the traffic, of course, but it's a little weird to me to see people still commenting on it now to inform me how wrong I am about the comic.
But yeah, the whole
A Link to the Webcomic thing. I guess people could be going through the archives, see that the review has double-digit comments, and click to see what the fuss is about. At this point, the review and the webcomic are kind of just footnotes to the bizarre display of butthurt and anti-butthurt in the post's comments sections. And that's actually kinda cool, in a way, because the readers are the ones keeping a discussion going while I basically sit back and /popcorn at what's going on. It's like a little semi-anonymous forum thread.

Dobson's a lost cause.

I think he's just unable to accept that anyone who criticizes him might have good intentions.

I think there's a trend that people complain to their online circle when they get a bad review, in which case the circle comforts them and says that the reviewer's just a stupid ol' bully, or whatever. This has happened a couple times recently over at Webcomic Underdogs (
1,
2), and Yakutis seems to have developed some sort of a problem with me ever since I wrote negatively about his girlfriend's writing in 2012.

I guess I'll post more stuff like this in bits-'n'-pieces instead so that I don't have to wait to have enough time for an info-dump.
