Yeah it's a homophobic post, I'm not defending it, but just enjoy the comic. If you actually look through the comic I'm not sure why it gave you the impression LB wouldn't have beliefs like that and say things like that. Just because the comic is entertaining doesn't mean LB himself is gonna be perfect.

And poo poo, it's been using "gay" and "fag" as an insult since very early on. This isn't something new with LB.

I mean, not like there's any gay people reading the thread who can't blow it off as easy as you chill dudes, right? And Lazerbot is a decent and reasonable dude, I doubt he needs anyone white-knighting his ethical blindspots.

If somebody's going to post something LB wrote in the thread, I'll comment on it. It wasn't simply calling somebody a "fag" or something, he was expressing some pretty hosed up beliefs.

It's not that big of a deal, but I'm not just going to say "hey it's cool to think like that." LB reads this thread and I hope some of the comments about that post make him think.

I would also like to avoid derails and just discuss the comic, but Georgia Peach posted something LB wrote outside the comic that warranted response.

I don't remember anyone being up-in-arms, actually. Seemed like the response in general was "well that's unfortunate, chill your pill about the gays LB". Don't let that stop you from laying into a Social Justice strawman though.

Everyone, stop being goony. If it really bothers you that much, then send him a polite message on facebook explaining why what he said was a little bit off. You won't change anyones viewpoint by pointing and yelling "OMG HOMOPHOBE".

The problem is that it's derailing the thread in a bad way. I completely agree that LB's attitudes need fixing, but you won't change them by wrecking the thread. Besides, as White Dog Eggs said, you can contact him personally on Facebook.

It is unfortunate that Lazy has backwards views on homosexuals, but I think back to how I was 10 years ago and I wasn't much different.

I'm 30 now and with my extra time on this earth, I can see how that line of thinking is wrong. Lazy has his faults, for real, but I can't help but feel it's something he'll grow out of over time. He doesn't come at the subject from a hateful place, but one of smug ignorance (smugnorance). It's tough, 'cause he can write things like "sorry if this looks gay to the viewers" and it's funny, but when he's actually using gayness as an insult to someone IRL, it's not. He should be called out for having lovely bigoted opinions, and we can hope he'll change. Should he decide to double-down on his assertions, then we can individually make decisions whether to continue reading.

Derail aside, I'm loving the past few chapters. There's so much going on, it's crazy.

Lazerbot's commentary didn't seem to me like he thought "normal gay people" try to convert heteros, more like he was insulting these "certain gay people" like Pony and, presumably, the guy who called Lazerbro's art gay, thus trying to make it seem like they call things gay because they want them to... be like themselves or something. Which would be kind of weird since Lazerbot himself calls things gay all the time. I don't know.

He's not a genius, he's just a guy. He does a kind of dumb (okay, really dumb) comic some people like. People can criticise Coetzee and Emerson for being sexist, for instance, or question the racism in Shakespeare. It'd be a pretty dark day, in that light, if you couldn't criticise some dude on the internet drawing Sonic cartoons.

As for snakes, I figured Coyote just listens to vibrations that the snakes can feel in the ground.

I’m amazed Demaro has lasted this long. With how he’s missing an arm I thought he’d only last a couple panels before Coyote killed him.

The context of it being a massive cartoon crossover filled with weird anime OCs fighting internet trolls makes a lot of the humor present in this comic very funny to me when I otherwise would find it detestable. The latent homophobia is one of those many things. I can't imagine the comic without it.

There are many ways this comic is an inverted Sonichu, and what it says about its author is one of those things. Lazerbot is a weird guy, but he's reasonable and open-minded. His weird homophobic remarks are unfortunate and it's good to address them (even if it causes these awful discussions). It's okay to like the comic in spite of them, too. But considering how he carries himself otherwise, I am 100% certain that sooner or later...dumb rear end will learn. :unsmith:

It wasn't the arm that kept me from thinking he'd last very long as much as the bit where he screamed at Heimerdinger. He really seems to have collected himself since then.

I think he has been weaken by the fight with his brother. That's why this is one fight where I cannot predict the outcome. Maybe Demaro will kill Coyote through the eye demon's intervention. Maybe Coyote will win, and the eye demon uses him as the new host. Maybe they will both live like the Mario and Troll King fight.

Coyote did say he was going to play with him a little to see what he could do.

Judging by the monologue there, Coyote's probably only about to begin his actual offense.

its not like I'm insulting any one or anything but its funny how sensitive people can be if i even mention anything about gay people. i mean if straight people were this sensitive then the world would be crazy, to flip out every time anything related to homosexuals is mention people freak out, but a conversation about fat or straight people or anything else in that matter is fine, you see how close minded that is, i will give this discussion the same boundaries as any other subject, nothing to do with my beliefs but people make comments about everything else. I'm not gonna give this subject any special treatment because it hurts some feelings, if your gonna be something get use to people talking about it, in other words and i don't want to sound like a dick but stop being a bunch of pansies, there are more messed up things that people talk about with out any issues. i mean people talk about rape on videos on a daily bases. me saying something about a gay person shouldn't be a big deal

Please don't read the comments. His FB fanclub is becoming creepier by the minute.

I was genuinely touched at that scene. Laserbot is probably a genius. His imagery is unconventional, yet precise - and there is never a wasted panel. (Even in the Mario fight people whined about, the length was a necessary byproduct of the editing - LB was doing a full-blown action sequence, with specific beats and pacing, to show the villains' characteristics.)

The comic is extremely cinematic, but still makes use of its medium with things like the fantastic text bubbles. Kermit's demonstration of how to be patient, alone, makes clear LB's command over his medium. I've never seem anything like this. It's totally next-level stuff, and I still don't really know how to process it.
