Re: 61
I mean, the OP has an obvious point: there are plenty of movies/comics/etc. out there that paint the 'emo kid' as an intelligent, misunderstood protagonist, while the 'jocks' are the dumb villains. That annoys me, too. But HoneySyn does not conform to that stereotype. If anything, the series is about taking those cliches and flipping them on their heads. And it certainly never says that May suffers more than anyone else does, just because he's
not anemo.Plus, um, every character in HoneySyn (with the exception of Jay, but that's probably only because we haven't seen much of him until now) has acted like a jerk before. That's normal, especially in light of the circumstances. I don't see a reason for the OP to go off on May just because he's acting like most anyone else would in the same situation.
skdlfjdslfj SORRY ABOUT THE LONG RESPONSE. The whole secret just made me go o.O;;
Re: 61
I think they need to read it all the way through and realize that the cliche-2D-highschool student tone they're seeing is coming from Metis and not the writers. The writers more likely than not AGREE with the OP. And by later chapters, Metis might concede to them having a point as well.
Not to mention the "all of them are kids, and all of them are hurt" comment. That's usually WHY they belittle other groups and, you guessed it, act like jerks.
So, here's a long response about how I agree with you. XD
Also, LOL at the other HS secret in the post. Because you can't have a fandom for something that a) isn't turning a profit for someone, and/or b) isn't totally over and done with. How on earth did I ever write for TV fandoms? D:
Re: 61
Ah, Miss nuu and schumie would definitely concede the point. The first five chapters are told from May's POV, so there's obviously character bias there. But the authorial perspective is pretty clear in the way it almost explicitly maintains that stereotypes are for suckers. I just don't get how any reading of the comic could lead even a casual reader to believe that HoneySyn is trying to conform to the good!emo/bad!jock stereotype.
Basically: HEAR, HEAR. I'd just like to know whether or not the OP bothered to get past the first two chapters before she started ranting about how HoneySyn is apparently a lesson in 'the emo will always prevail' that happens to include gay.
Hahah, secret 6 sort of made me wince. I mean...almost ALL large fandoms (and quite a few small ones) revolve around currently running series, right? So unless the OP also has a thing against SPN, Dr. Who, Naruto, Bleach, Reborn!, One Piece, Kingdom Hearts, MOST ANYTHING AIRING TODAY, I fail to see how HoneySyn fic would be any different. Just because HoneySyn isn't published? I mean, it's not like the creators mind; schumie actually commented on something I wrote once skdjf;sdf *BLUSHBLUSH* and Miss nuu's given the okay on everything from fic to the kink meme. Sooo, why is it a problem?
DAMMIT, I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO WRITE SHORT, CONCISE RESPONSES.
Re: 61
Secret six sounds like major butthurt, either from a fan who doesn't get enough attention, or a webcomic artist who doesn't have the same kind of following. Which isn't to say it's either, it just sounds like bad feelings rather than there actually being a problem with it.
Re: 61
Oh gosh, I hope you're not right about number six...that would just be super sad. Although I do agree it feels more like 'bad feelings,' than anything else.
