i.e. their demographic.
The funniest thing I've ever read by one of the Penny Arcade dudes was when they were talking about Harlan Ellison being rude.

I still like their stuff, and Gabe's art skills are better in general, but I do think they've lost a bit of the energy/wit they used to have. Success tends to do that, though. Definitely good enough to stay in my webcomics RSS folder with the other dozens.

I still like the art, but the writing is almost always oscillating like a meth head duct-taped to a chair between "meh" and "bleh"

HoodedMiracle twitter account contacts Courtney Stanton, demanding proof that she is a rape survivor. When none is forthcoming, HoodedMiracle begins telling others that she lied about it, and that she’s only causing a ruckus to make money on the Dickwolves Survivors Guild t-shirt.
DickWolvington twitter account engages in same.

pretty sure she was involved in last years production of popular local burlesque show "the slutcracker."
people have interests i will never understand, among them burlesque and "gaming conventions," whatever the fuck those are

hahahaha oh Sean you went to the Slutcracker? I was asked to go by two different friends this year but there was just no way.
― ENBB, Thursday, 3 February 2011 04:02 (thirteen years ago) link
eh L and i had talked abt going for a couple years every time we passed the sville theater in december. was basically a satisfying curiosity thing.
i had no idea what to expect but it was weirdly incoherent and i would never go again.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 3 February 2011 04:04 (thirteen years ago) link
eh its prob like going to a big lan party or competitive gaming event or something - i know a girl who's been to a few PAXes and she loves em, only has one forearm so she cradles the controller against the stump and controls everything w/one hand

S - It's really popular I just feel like it is something that would go horribly wrong irl and be really cringe inducing. I'm just busting yr balls btw. If it were free I probably would have gone with but I wasn't going to pay for it.

it was pretty cringe-y at times--like, this is what happens to a certain subset of high school drama girls

i may be going to PAX but i don't really know what one does at such an event other than wander around and marvel at how many people are even more nerdy than yourself

I don't read Penny Arcade. I didn't think the comic was offensive, but the way they handled the aftermath was absolutely pathetic.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 3 February 2011 06:36 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah thats p much how i feel - comic didnt bother me (tho i am sympathetic to those who were offended), but being dickheads about people objecting is nagl
