While this is a nifty little bit of double standard, at the time LC did his comic we didn't know for sure Boby was a troll. He could have actually been a suicidal person. But that second thread lil' Boby started kind sealed the deal and it was open season on his sorry ass. If LC had been making fun of a troll I wouldn't mind at all, but he was making fun of a suicidal man at the time. Either way we can all agree that Boby sucks the big one. Shall we get the fire extinguisher now or wait until it's really needed?
I am The Poster Formerly Known as Crossfire. Or PFKAC. ...has a certain ring to it, no?

Wasn't everyone giving Liberty Cabbage shit for drawing a comic about suicide in the first 'boby' thread?
To be fair, it was pretty much obviously just someone fucking around with a random text generator, wasn't it? No-one would post a 'Im going to kill myself' topic as their first post on a board about webcomics, for god's sake.
It clearly wasn't real. Mock it all you want.

It was painfully obvious to me outright.
And I disagree with everyone.
These forums are as much a place for satire and cutting discourse as anything. We should be encouraging the generation of challenging media, not stifling them for dubious moral comfort.

You are both right.
