[2/9/2011 4:12:27 PM] Spleen: wow now that i got around to actually reading the update i'm twice as mad at it
[2/9/2011 4:13:45 PM] Spleen: the psychological impact of kill is basically what I spend all my time looking into and thinking about and researching i don't need a 30 year old manchild to come along and puppet a kid w/o character and his hamfisted anime waifu to tell me I DUN KILLED A GUY I KNEW AND NOW IM SAD ??????
[2/9/2011 4:14:14 PM] Spleen: and to listen to the fucking gibber shitbrains eat it up this fucking sub fanfic writing
[2/9/2011 4:14:34 PM] Spleen: I mean that literally i have read fan fictions with better stories, better characters and better writing overall
[2/9/2011 4:16:40 PM] Bea: i can honetly say i did not think of that angle of it D:
[2/9/2011 4:17:18 PM] Bea: vriska's reaction seems horrible unnatural and forced
[2/9/2011 4:17:29 PM] Spleen: yeah it's corny and hamfisted as fuck
[2/9/2011 4:17:34 PM] Spleen: total ass-pull of a twist
[2/9/2011 4:17:45 PM] Spleen: think about it like this
[2/9/2011 4:18:08 PM] Spleen: replace vriska with say, sephiroth or someone, and host the log on fanfiction.net
[2/9/2011 4:18:17 PM] Spleen: would you bat an eye or just go 'oh another fanfiction'
[2/9/2011 4:18:21 PM] Spleen: THINK ABOUT IT

[2/9/2011 4:19:16 PM] Spleen: EXACTLY

[2/9/2011 4:59:02 PM] Spleen: it's not that the bare frame of 'habitual killer kills out of necessity, breaks down when a victim isn't anonymous & othered' is a bad framework
[2/9/2011 4:59:02 PM] Spleen: far from it
[2/9/2011 4:59:23 PM] Spleen: its jsut handled it the most ham fisted way possible because andrew is a shit writer at these kinda things
[2/9/2011 4:59:50 PM] Spleen: this kind of careful internal struggle almost by definition needs to NOT be spelled out
[2/9/2011 5:00:30 PM] Spleen: so, instead of Bateman struggling to kill his secretary, we have vriska going "THIS IS HOW I FEEL EXACTLY" and spelling everything out exactly with no subtext while john goes 'well golly!'
