Jesus christ. Lazerbot doesn't realise what he's throwing away here. Tails Got Trolled is basically the only thing in the world that goons like. I mean, go read the re-born CAD Mock thread, where goons reveal that they hate XKCD, Kate Beaton, Oglaf, and basically every good comic on the web.

But not Tails Got Trolled. For two long years we've followed this thing and it's going to die. It's going to die because we've followed it for two years.

Don't love things, goons. Goon love kills.

What I'm saying is that you may see a new motion comic in the near future.
No promises, but it might just keep TGT going in Lazerbot downtime.

Even if Lazerbot never publishes another page, it will still be awesome to see everything up to this point turned into a video.

See, the main thing is that Lazerbot (like many other people) forgets that online communities are made up of dozens of different people with dozens of different opinions.

It's sad that he no longer likess us the way we like him, but at the same time, he clearly has issues that he's working through (or, at least, needs to work through). I find it difficult to actually be -upset- with him about this because of that.

Woah wait a minute here. Since when is there a re-born CAD mock thread?

Lowtax bought her an account but she stalked a bunch of goons and no matter what she won't apologize for it so she got banned.

e:vvv Apparently the weirdness comes from goons who refuse to shut up about it/consistently apologize on behalf of other goons/complain about stalker goons

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm but I'm pretty certain it was exactly the other way round: she bought an account to check out LF and immediately got pounced on by every creeper on the site.

e: regardless that's a really sad reason to dislike someone, I'm surprised people still remember that incident.

gently caress yes I still believe :3

Also I guess there's always Tails Doesn't Get Trolled to get us by. I hope the goon that did it keeps doing it! It's arguably the 'good end' of the TGT mythos, the way things are going.

To be fair, somewhere in there he's actually getting to a genuine point, which is that he doesn't like having people relentlessly mock him and his art, even if it's loving mockery.

His reaction to this thread's attitude is understandable, even if it's delivered in that inimitable Lazerbot style.

SA's stated purpose is to point and laugh at things on the internet. If there's a substantive difference between that and "trolling", it's probably not detectable by someone who's the target of it. It's pretty silly to assume someone will just take it forever. Nobody has that kind of maturity, or that kind of resilience, or that kind of stupidity.

You nailed it on the head. Now I feel bad.

I don't want to the thread to close because, while I enjoy following the comic, I don't think I would bother following it on my own. If the thread dies, I won't get to see any future installments :(

This is kind of bullshit. If you don't want people to judge your work, don't post it publicly on the internet.

Seriously, that's life. If you can't handle criticism, you shouldn't show your work to people. Sorry.

No, I'm fairly sure he means that lazerbot isn't stupid and can tell that we are usually being condescending and ironic even as we express positive opinions about the comic. This sort of subtle, often unintended mockery is probably what's making him so angry. There's no real solution since that's just what Something Awful does, even when we discuss things we like, and particularly when the thing we like is 'special' in the way that Tails Gets Trolled is. He needs to learn to ignore us if he can't accept that.

It's certainly understandable and mostly justified, but he's looking at us through such thick troll-colored glasses that it's getting ridiculous. He's taking jokes like "Yeah, they're clearly Naruto rip-off fight scenes, geez. :colbert:" as serious examples of attempted insults, just because he has seemingly already decided everything we say must be an insult. We insult him somehow, therefore we hate him, therefore we want the comic to end. If we say otherwise it's because we're lying and that's that. For someone who's talked so much about us assuming things, it's too bad he can't question his own assumptions.

I can't fault him for being tired of mockery, but I do fault him for completely ignoring that we do actually like reading the comic. It seems he has been intentionally egged on to hate us by a few people on FB and elsewhere so I guess it's not surprising.
