Message: <blockquote data-quote="Willie the Duck" data-source="post: 8803318" data-attributes="member: 6799660">I for one do not see much evidence that LaNasa is being bullied. I do see perhaps a heightened glee at foibles unrelated to his awfulness. The inability to edit his own work is a mixed situation because, yes, he in theory is trying to be a game designer (although we're all pretty on board, it seems, with the notion that that was never really his aim). Same with basic business wherewithal. His absolute mediocrity as a tattoo artist seems a little more on point as something we absolutely don't have a reason to cover.It is really rather unique in my experience, this entire situation of a relatively powerless* individual who is so utterly repugnant, taking on a nameless-faceless corporation like Hasbro, failing so spectacularly, and doing so in a way that highlights failings sometimes but often not related to their actions which we find so problematic. It almost reads like an abandoned M*A*S*H script where Frank does something willfully awful, but drops a line about only going into medicine to piss off his neglectful parents -- that's absolutely nothing to laugh at, and some misdirected jeering might get directed at this, but that doesn't mean they are sympathetic or that the general wanting them to fail is somehow bullying. *except for the ability negatively associate a thing we love with himself in google searches and perhaps to the very small group of people still impressed with an association with any old 'Gygax' and who somehow haven't heard of this saga yet</blockquote>
