First thought: Oh shoot Demon King Grenner is either going to get semi-eaten, maybe some of the demon half or something, OR he’s going to be the one eating them…
I’m not sure which one I’d find more terrifying, but I’m hoping the second thing happens…
The thought did cross my mind, I do feel strongly about the issue. I don’t think anyone want’s to live in the world SOPA would create… even the people who think they support it. But in the end there are a few reasons why I didn’t… first and foremost I am never going to miss an update. It really gets under my skin when people can’t keep up with their own personal schedule.
But when it comes down to it, me taking the site down over SOPA is pointless… Even if it passes, nothing about Suppression is going to change… oh the internet will be a rotten ravaged corpse but I don’t think this particular site is gonna suffer. So what is the point? Stand in solidarity? Raise Awareness? I’ll leave it to the big dogs to let people know about the issue… and me standing along side them pointlessly is pretentious. Do I really have a right to hold back content from my fans to tell them about something they DEFINITELY have heard about elsewhere by this point?
I’m glad for every single one of you guys who follows this comic, and I’m not going to punish you for something the government wants to do. If I was one of those million hits a day kinda sites… I’d have done SOMETHING, but even then I wouldn’t have taken down my site for a day. The blackout was depressing… it put me on edge all day. A peek into a dark future. I think what it did was important… but it really worsened my fears over the issue.
I’m sorry. This isn’t even a reply to just you at this point… just summing up where I stand…
Just for gits and shiggles, I want to point out that a comic named SUPPRESSION is not taking part in an awareness-raising raising campaign that works by blacking out, or “suppressing” sites. 🙂
I agree with your reasons and logic, by the way, Degulus. I just wanted to point out a little thing that made me smirk.
I don’t think the SOPA blackout thing was retarded, or just used as an excuse to miss an update, pseudonarne. Have you done anything in response to SOPA or Protect-IP, yourself?
yeah, alot of them seemed to use it as an excuse to miss an update and pad buffer for later nothing to do yesterday had to enter meatspace made me sad lol

Considering he is on speaking terms with Santris later, this is all very interesting.
