ladies and gentlemen, "our" self-appointed mayor.

it's really difficult to take anything you say or do seriously if this condescending crap is pretty much all there is to your presence on the forum.

You don't have to take me seriously at all and you can write off the comic then too.

However you are posting because you really are concerned with what I do and thats good.

Almost like a leader or should i say, a mayor? XD

ROTFL!!!!! That's gotta be the funniest thing you've said in a long time, dude... If you're a "leader", I guess that makes me God's right-hand man.

who said there's any hatred involved?
is that how you view all the criticism? "hate"?

If I hated criticism I could just ban the critics. Yet, I have standards and upholding free speech has always been one of them.

Again, if you didnt care, you wouldn't waste the time to post. So you do care.

i never even implied you hated criticism (i implied you seem to see criticism as hate) nor is it that time consuming to reply (at least not to a point to warrant someone is really caring about the subject), considering all you seem to muster are strawman arguments as seen in this very quote.

Nah, like in my previous comment, I read critics but i don't take it as gospel. Especially when they don't have all the details i do.

So is the criticism reasonable then, given the facts (or comic pages) we have currently?

When do you think the whole thing will be released.

Personally I just want to see the story text, which if you wanted could be released immediately I would have thought. The story is finished right? Sure colourful pictures are nice, but it's the words that are going to determine if this thing will be good, bad or ugly.

This was funded with donations??? That just sounds like a nice excuse to give yourself money to be honest...

And a damned good reason to flatly refuse to donate anything more, for the poor saps that got robbed to produce this pile of horseshit - No, wait - I take that back - Calling it horseshit insults perfectly innocuous horse turds. Lets go with rabid rat puke... (Shut up, wise-asses - I know rats can't/don't puke)

Yeah I tend to shy away from the whole being a primates relative myself. I am educated enough, seen enough, and experienced enough that I personally believe I did not evolve. Evolution seems to be a way to allow folks to believe they are the most important thing in the universe just as some folks use to believe the sun revolved around the earth and some countries belived they were the center of all things. It also allows folks to do unspeakable things to other humans and never feel guilt or remorse. Folks also want an easy, finite, simple answer to every question instead of not knowing the infinite, incomprehensible, unknown that is the beauty and wonder of creation. They want something concrete and real that they can hold in their hand. I personally am just fine not knowing all the wonderful mysteries that dwell within me and surround me. I know that simply I am a truly amazing, mystifying, marvel.

There most likely are more believers here but they are unwilling to admit it, denial is another way to avoid guilt and remorse. I don't care myself because I have grown beyond all that. It takes a bigger person to believe in something greater than themselves and admit they are but a small part of a greater whole. Plus it allows for hope and happiness knowing that there is something way better coming in the future. What does a denier have? A short life here and than death. Yeah I will take creation and the possibility of eternity and exploration over that any day of the week.

I have no issues with folks believing as they will, that too is a very awesome thing. We were never created to be mindless drones.

Well like it or not, evolution is a directly observed science in gene flow, genetic drift, ERV's , alleles and the genomes of all life on earth and we Humans are Primates and members of the Great Ape family as also proven in genomes. Also evolution says absolutely nothing as to folks somehow believing they are the most important thing in this universe . To say such I'd have to surmise you lack the knowledge and educational background to even cite and define evolution in scientific terms , nor take and pass a near grade school level science and biology test. It tends infact to be the religious types mostly Christians who believe that they are the most special and important things in the universe, that some magical sky goblin simply poofed everything into existence, we humans along with it.

I love the idea of being proactive and getting the message out but was this really the best we could do?
Click to expand...
We might agree, except for one detail: Why should we give a fuck about "getting the message out"? I have yet to hear a coherent explanation for why "the message" needs to get out in the first place, or anything that even smells like a benefit from doing so.

My reasoning is it shows other zoos there are options out there. People are going to pursue this whether people like it or not and places like this teach people how to do it safely.

Actually, I'm thinking that "doing it safely" is the absolute LAST thing this place does - or has any interest in doing. So far as I can tell, this place is, in essence, ZT's platform for trying to launch the latest iteration of "let's get loud and proud and demand our rights" (as if we have any excuse for being ALIVE, let alone having any "rights", at least in the eyes of the normies) that's failed every time it's been tried in the past 30 years or so.

I maintain that the only realistically expectable outcome is yet another round of "zoo-hunting" once John Q. Public gets his face rubbed in the fact that we exist. For some of us, that's a "Yeah, it sucks, but I'll survive one way or another" concept, but for our critters - those of us who have them and actually give a fuck beyond "It's a place to stick my cock", of course - the "no skin in the game" crew doesn't much give a shit either way - it may very well be a literal death sentence.
