And for fucks sake, everybody who watches Jersey Shore and all the other semi-real-life documentaries and reality shows is fully responsible for their continued existance and should be brought to justice! A whole new level should be build in hell just for those who produce that stuff.
In medival times, kings, dukes and emperors were the main financees of the arts, literature, theatre, paintings, sculptures. Our modern sense of beauty was cultivated in that time. What would a Medici or even a Hapsburger have done with those who brought something up like Jersey Shore, Big Brother or Star Search?

Uhm, gross, because Medieval art was shit. It was all flat gold leaf and Jesus. A Medici (now we're talking Renaissance, but I still find it overstated) or a Hapsburger would likely have done the same with Van Gogh, George Segal, Picasso and also burned Jackson Pollock alive. For Jersey Shore, I say the artwork is as good as the viewer. If you held an event that brought together the world's snobbiest snobs, and called it modern art, they would damn well find the meaning in it.

Soon, Jim will find himself in a relationship with another girl, only to have her eventually dump him, but by then Dora will have gone through a short sexual fling with one guy and ended up seeing another.

But this has all been discussed in the linked thread, and including contributions from Jeph; what I do is apply the rules as I understand them, hopefully in a manner that will keep Jeph's hate for this place from crushing it.

Which makes me feel like we're at the mercy of a fickle and occasionally very drunk god (and the mods are the priests trying to interpret His will), which is why I became an agnostic in the first place. With all true respect to said deity, if He hates this particular creation of His He should either leave it alone completely or just delete it from existence, not rage when he comes along and, yup, those damn humans aren't following His will again, leading to somewhat random death and great floods (okay, bans and thread locks).
I don't mind there being a code of conduct, of course. I just wish it wasn't based on the will of someone who, the last two times I saw contact from them on this board (albeit that was last November), was drunk and random and generally being a dick. *Ducks tomato* he was, that picture thread he made was not worksafe and he was c/rude to anyone that posted in it, including editing their comments to be self-deprecating. If he wants to be hands off and let the mods take care of things, then he should actually do that.
But I'm repeating a lot of what was said on the conduct thread (wish I had read it before, it was interesting), and he hasn't been around in months to my knowledge, so my thoughts are largely already in practice. I still feel like we're cowering in case he drops by and flips out that someone mentioned Hannelore, Marigold, and lesbians in the same sentence, rather than because that's actually detrimental to the atmosphere.

He's showed up once since then to ban someone for making posts very similar to what you're making here, so yeah, you may want to drop it (insofar as that person saying Jeph should either let people freely express their opinions or delete the forums altogether because they serve no purpose if they're so heavily censored that nobody can post about the comic unless they agree with the author).

Still don't get it either, the explanations that people have told me aren't enough tbh. Seen worse, read worse.
Edit: We should stop posting about CAD here though :P

Because Buckley can't draw for shit (his female characters have bigger groin bulges than his male characters, what's up with that? Also, nobody has hair, they have birds resting on their heads.), his comics are terrible and unfunny, and he's also an abusive dick to everyone he knows "in real life" and every other webcomic author that has met him in person can confirm this.
The only good thing to come out of CAD are the mockery pages in the comic sub-forum of SA (which also resulted in the Zalgo meme).

Or see it from the perspective that these characters are Jeph's creation, and with that comes a disgust when someone makes a comment along the lines of "Hanners and Marigold come out as lesbians and have been since they met."
