Well, of course GG would dislike Buffy. I'm pretty sure if she ever showed any taste at all, the world would come to an end.

I thought Judge Dredd was the only time Rob Schnieder has ever been funny, ever.

Well, I did mention PS, too.

But yeah, Homestuck is by far the best webcomic on the internet at the moment. It has a deep plot that can get very dramatic without sacrificing the comedy. Something badass happens every few comics (the rate increases constantly, with more and more happening, to the point where there are often long strings of pages that are just way awesome). Plus, the pages that have sound to them are always epic win (and there are a lot of them).

Read Homestuck. All of you. Right now.

Okay, I clearly must have stumbled into a Mirror Dimension again, because everyone is being absolutely wrong about TV shows.

Thank you.

Of course, what you said about Buffy is so wrong as to make that bit of incorrectness look like unalienable truth, so there's no point in even thinking about it any further.

Why? He's wrong on the most basic, fundamental level. We may as well just ignore that he ever said it.

-Marcian is one of the four lords of the boards, so he can argue with me. Doesn't mean he'll win, though.
-True dat.
-DOUBLE True dat.
-Okay, then.
-I think you missed what I was going for there. I was saying that Twilight-haters talk about the sparkling so much more because it's an easy target, whereas the pedophilia and stalking are more obscure, but much better points to make.

Another reason the whole "sparklepire" thing is so popular:

You ever play TF2? Good players, they go for the Medic. Yeah, he's smaller than the dude with the chaingun, but he's a better pick in the long run for targets. All the new players and bad players go for the Heavy, because he's big and obvious and they figure if he's so easy to hit, why even bother aiming at the little guy next to him.

Do you see where this metaphor is going?

1. That's because I warned you on Skype.

2. I'm actually listing why everyone who has ever posted in CaH/VC's Twilight threads has said they hate Twilight. And me also.

So, you're saying the stance that everyone thus far has taken is not the stance everyone is taking?

Are you seriously trying to claim Buffy wasn't marketed to young girls? Really?

Buffy was a show for girls. Guys (like myself) may have liked it, but it was aimed at the female audience. Furthermore, it was actually fairly accurate in its portrayal of vampires. The reason so many vampires in Buffy were "pretty" is because, as shown, a lot of vampires-to-be were seduced because they were attractive and their sire wanted some hot arm candy. Plus, when they went all-out, they took on a fairly monstrous appearance, not to mention the way that their leader from the first season looked (which is presumed to be what all vampires will look like after being undead long enough).

They were weak to sunlight, fire, decapitation, holy water, stakes through the heart, crosses, and possibly garlic (don't remember if it ever came up), all the classic vampire weaknesses. They could not enter the home of a living person without being invited in, nor could they cross a threshold marked with a cross. They took most of their mythos from Bram Stoker, granted, but it's basically him and European folklore that stand as the two "true" sources for vampire lore. They were, at most, 10% away from being correct.

This is of course working under the tennant that when it comes to interpreting folklore, one does not need to include every single aspect of the creature discussed, but one should at least hit all the major points, and try to avoid tossing in some random thing that has nothing to do with them (i.e., sparkles).

Twilight vampires are, well, not vampires. Not even close. To imply that Buffy does anything even remotely similar is an insult to the very concept of fiction. Furthermore, Twilight presents several other horrible concepts:

-Breaking into a girl's house and watching while she sleeps is romantic.
-If a boy is verbally abusive and acts like he hates you, it must be TRUE LOVE.
-If said boy gets you teen pregnant, it's not the most horrifying thing ever for the other boy you rejected to mention that he has every intention of getting with your daughter as soon as she's legal.

No, we get extra Sue-hating priveleges.

Also, the male term is Marty Stu. Or Wesley Crusher.

Bit of trivia: traditional folklore actually characterizes vampires as compulsive counters, going so far as to advise people wandering at night to carry boxes of matches or similar items to throw to the ground should a vampire appear, causing him to be forced to count them while you flee. This actually makes Count von Count a more accurate vampire than Edward Cullen.

Yet more bigotry from GG. Surprise, surprise.

EDIT: Also, this thread is now about the most irritating man in the world (mild language warning)

Time for another /b/ text meme:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Okay, if you're gonna start that again, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Nobody wants to hear about your sick proclivities.

Hey!

What does everyone have against Richard Simmons? He's actually a very nice guy in real life, or so I've heard. And all he wants is to increase national awareness of obesity, and believe me, America needs it (although, if TLC specials are to be believed, so does the UK).

You could golf with it. Well, smash it with a golf club, but that's pretty much the same thing.

Pantsless. But that's him pretty much all the time.

There's a difference between being insane and just plain not listening. I mean, it's an issue of standards. Let's try to be professional, shall we?

Honestly, you work for the Ministry of Awesome. Show some pride in your work.

That's not even relevant! Are you even reading what I'm posting?

Well, it's the timing. Honestly, after all this other stuff, that is the thing that makes you finally decide that something is weird? Really?
