The FanFic Critic

I review fanfics, good or bad. For my written blog, the Sequel Critic, I review sequels and prequels, whether they are good or bad.

Idiots of the Internet SPECIAL: "The Something Awful Forums - The Internet Critic Discussion Thread"

As a slight follow-up to my last blog discussing the "anti-fanboy", I present to you a forum site that is FILLED with these anti-fanboys. The forum site is called The Something Awful Forums and the thread in question is called The Internet Critic Discussion Thread.

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3386886&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

Reading through the posts, there were some people who said that they liked certain critics. Most of the posts, though, are about how much they hate certain critics. Even I was mentioned! Their criticism of me went something along the lines of "...some 20-something year old, greasy haird woman obsessed with Sweeney Todd and Harry Potter". Um...yeah...just because I had a Harry Potter poster in my early videos does not mean I'm obsessed with the genre. Also, I don't see any real criticsm in there, just insults.

One guy said that he absolutely hates the Nostalgia Critic and says he's the most "unfunny fuck" on TGWTG. If that were true, why is TGWTG so popular? Now, if this gentleman had said that he personally doesn't find the NC funny and actually backed up his claim, that would be fine. Him stating it, however, doesn't make it fact. Clearly, people find the Nostalgia Critic funny.

There was even some jerk who was viciously making fun of Nella from team Nostalgia Chick saying that she was "beaten mercilessly with the ugly stick". Wow. How much of a senseless pig can you be? I think Nella is attractive for her bubbly personality. Also, folks, LOOKS AREN'T EVERYTHING!

Guys, this forum just proves the point of my last blog even more that being extreme haters, or anti-fanboys, is just unproductive and makes you look like a moron. I can't believe there's a forum website dedicated to hatingon something, let alone a thread hating on internet reviewers!

    Makes me wonder what you think of Templar the 2nd?
    I watched one video of his on Iron Liz, and he was actually pretty nice about her, kind of. But he said that he enjoyed her work. As for everyone else on this site, well, just watch his video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl832PfxyP4
    Of course if you don't wanna get angry at people like this, just avoid them.
    But I understand how that can be difficult.

    Oh BTW, what about this jack ass?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKQOdNuC9O0
    Of course everyone who commented on his video, called him out on being a dick, so yeah. Just though it would be worth mentioning.
    There is nothing worse than some online douche trying to kick someone while their down.

    Uh, sounding a bit defensive there?
    According to you, the guy said he "thinks the NC sucks", well, what is it other than an expression of personal sentiment?

    Why go the "just your opinion man" route, why make an appeal to popularity?

    I agree, btw, a lot of the SA comments seem to be of the "hate dumb" variety, but there are also lots of sensible ones.

    So you picked out the posts that are particularly mean and ignored the posts with really good points, and therefore /all/ of them are bad? You're the one who's an idiot, FanFic Critic.

    One SA user is smarter than 10 TGWTG users put together.
