You know
how I once said I was getting sick the term “SJW”?
I have
changed my mind.
Since I
posted about Shredded ’14 I’ve received a deluge of hate mails. More than half
of them are from Gaters, and are variations over the theme “fuk u SJW Gawker
shill faggot”. This was to be expected.
However,
about 30% of this… Hellspam is from people whose sensibilities are so
delicate that they are deeply offended by the mere fact that I’ve made a blog
about Shredded Moose at all. They accuse me of taking secret pleasure in
posting Trip’s old art. They think I’m a covert fan of Shredded Moose who just
wants to direct attention to the comic.
I suspect most
of these “SJWs” are just trolls, but I think some of them actually mean it. So,
to the people who whine at me that this blog is too offensive to exist: when
you behave like this you’re making “SJW” a relevant, usable term. You’re giving
the creeps a point. Please don’t give the creeps a point.
Apart from
that, I’ve received some more emails from people claiming SM is misunderstood
irony or so bad it’s good or both at the same time and blah blah blah. The emails
are signed with different names, but for all I know it’s just “Frank” mailing
me from several different accounts. In any case: I’ve heard it before, and I’ve
addressed it. Spare me.
Oh, and yes
“Josie” – I’m still doing the blog. But now it’s more about Shredded ’14 than
Shredded Moose, and those really aren’t the same comic. Not by a long shot.
Finally, to
the guy calling himself “Mr. Garrison” (yes, I see what you did there) who sent
me a crude MS Paint drawing of Mr. Hat raping Brew: I’m not mad at you. Not
really. I guess I tempted fate, and deserved as much.
