Topic: Bleedman... like him or hate him?

[Rin]

So after seeing a thread about this guy on /co/, which refreshed my fond memories of reading his comic about Powerpuff Girls in its humble beginnings, and enjoying it, until he...

[spoiler]Ruined everything with his [tornado fang]ing pedophilia[/spoiler]

http://bleedman.deviantart.com/ Here's his deviantard account, for anybody who wishes to take a peek at his art.

So now... do you like him, or hate him?

Please remember, that he's the person who made a comic about:

[spoiler]Mandy from Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy marrying Grim (before that she of course caused 9/11... no seriously.) and having two kids, whom one is a girl who looks kinda like Mandy, and the second being a boy who looks more like Grim, except more shota. Oh and the kids want to [tornado fang] each other like mad rabbits (I'm not shitting you).[/spoiler]

My personal opinion of him and his comics should be obvious by this point, but I'll say few things anyway.

I used to be really into his stuff, but then he just started to be getting really creepy with his "work" and the usage of Cartoon Network (and not only) characters. Like showing that DeeDee from Dexter's Lab was killed during one of the Dexter Vs Mandark fights... and then having a storyline in which Batshit Crazy Mandark kidnaps Blossom (Dexter's love interest... wow) and he wants to drown her... and basically does this, until Angel!DeeDee bails her out from Grims finger of death.
Oh and then Mandark blows the [tornado fang] up with his base, oh and we learn that Mandark had a sister too, but I dunno what has become of her mysterious appearance on that one page, because I stopped reading his [parasitic bomb] then... or maybe its that he stopped updating and focused on Grim Tales? HARD TO REMEMBER! : P

[spoiler]DISCUSS[/spoiler]

Seen his stuff briefly, had not known about any of that.

[Acid]

I don't consider myself to be part of his target audience.

I don't like his stuff, but I don't hate it either.

Honestly, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I used to be a fan of his stuffs. But of course, back when I thought Fred (of Megatokyo fame) was a good artist.

But that doesn't mean I hate either of them now either. (Because you know, I want to give my kiddo self some credit).

Bleedman may be overrated, perverted and twisted, but his figures have a good sense of movement and form. The guy has found his own style, and he excels at it. He's also a great story-teller. Even if his stories are creepy weaboo mary-sue fics.

I try not to judge people too much.

Pick one of the two, you can't have both.

Honestly saying, I too think he's a great artist but this guy is actually a HORRIBLE story teller. That's not an opinion, but a FACT.
You can take all the things I mentioned in my post above as examples of how horrible he is.
On the other hand, all this stuff would have worked MUCH better if he was using ORIGINAL characters... but then there comes his original comic Sugar Tits... I mean, Sugar Bits... and once again it turns out how horrible he is at story telling.

I try not to judge people too much as well, unless they clearly deserve my judging. : P

[spoiler]Did I mention he draws porn of his and not-his characters too? : D [/spoiler]

Not really. You can have a good story. And tell it in a bad way.
You can also have a bad story. But tell it in a good way.

And I believe he has terrible stories, but he can tell them in a way that won't make you immediately think: 'This is bullshit.'

Because, you know, until you step back and think about it, it didn't seem so bad.

...

This is actually a very good point.
But in such case, his bad story telling is even worse than I thought. A DISGUISED EVIL, so to speak.

[spoiler]Or maybe it just shows how brainless some of his fans are? HURR DURR[/spoiler]

[Pyro]

I get by with ignoring his existence.
