Today my roommate bought a pinata and we all went at it with a hatchet and a sword. I suspect this may be the best way to celebrate any holiday ever.

You know what's really, really refreshing after dealing with Hussie's passive-aggressive dealings with his fanbase? Reading Linkara's responses to comments in his videos. He's willing to explain any perceived plot holes or missed points in a logical manner, is willing to concede on points but mostly stands by what he's done, but above all, he's respectful and friendly towards praise and criticism alike. When he does go on his occasional rants, they always feel well-thought out, justified, and even if he's angry, he doesn't talk down to anyone or get insulting to his fans. Thank you, Lewis. You are awesome.

Not sure who Hussie is, but yeah Linkara is AWESOME to his fans from what I can tell. He handles criticism and even hate pretty well too and I respect him for that.

And, yeah, when he rants it's usually justified to some degree and he is always quick to point out that "this doesn't apply to everyone."

Andrew Hussie is the guy who writes and draws for MS Paint Adventures/Homestuck, which has become very popular but also gotten itself a lot of hate. Hussie has been known to make fun of his fans mercilessly, in response to trolls and genuine criticism alike, and within the comic itself pokes fun at people getting upset over various events. A lot of people perceive it as just him having a bit of fun and being a silly troll, but to me it's gotten to the point where I feel insulted by how little he cares about his fanbase and their opinion of his work.

After getting so frustrated with all that, reading Linkara's comments to his fans is just a breath of fresh air.
