Topic: Jasonafex & "Servants of the Serpent", What Happned?

Posted under Off Topic

This topic has been locked.

Alrighty, This has been a question I've been wondering for the longest time ever since I've gotten This Message on one of my doodles.

Now normally I would have moved on soon after reading this, thinking:
"Personal preference, Everyone has one but rarely are they alike."
but this statement still struck me as a bit odd since the doods work seem pretty solid. Though remembering that I haven't checked in with the comic I saw the guy in: "Servants of the Serpent" I decide to look the guy up on e621. I remember seeing the pages getting uploaded back then and since peeps usually race to upload the pages of comics like that I thought I'd be able to spend a hot sec catching and seeing if I hit any parts I thought were iffy too. I didn't agree with the guy but I still wanted to see where he was coming from, ya know? ╹‿╹)

Now, this is were it gets weird!
The comic was gone! Completly gone! Can you believe that?
I can't and what's even odder is that the artist is still present on the site so it's not like the artist is strictly on the DMP list.

But whatever, All of this could be circumstantial. maybe "Servants of the Serpent" was 'pay-for' content and removed for it not being 2018 yet. The fact that it's not here is not what I'm asking about.

What I'm asking about is was there something in "Servants of the Serpent" that happen to ruffle a lot of peeps feathers? Like was there a really bad trope used, Deus ex machina or something along those lines that caused such a backlash that it called for the possible removal of the whole comic?

I know I could be looking like a mad pupper here digging for a bone that might not be there in the first place but, my curiosity is really eating me on this one. Just seems like more than a coinkydink that the comic that seems to be doing so well out of the gate; suddenly disappears and left people with a bad taste in their mouths. It really makes a dood wounder.

They went C-DNP with the conditional being no comics are allowed to be uploaded on this site. This included past comics, they were deleted.

There was a takedown request of all their comics, based, I think, on the negative reception they were getting here.

On topic: Servants of the Serpent had a very bad plot. It was riddled with plot holes, contrivances, and the like, and the plot only moved forward because the main character acted like a complete moron constantly.

It wasn't that there was just one such thing, it's that it was as riddled with contrivances as your typical fox furry is riddled with semen on a Saturday night.

While the comic may have been doing well towards the beginning, one of the later pages managed an impressive score of -229 before being taken down, putting it as the fourth worst rated image on the site.

If you want, search for jasonafex status:deleted pool:8490 and read the comments to get some understanding of the gripes which people had, as well as the controversy. If you just want the most controversial part, here you go.

If you want a detailed explanation of why I think that the comic is bad, feel free to send me a PM. This has been discussed at length and will only start controversy up again by being on the forums.

Here's hoping this comic doesn't devolve into a mess.

Wow, That answers my question an then some.
Kinda cool to find out that I was right about such a leap of faith idea of the artist taking down their work due to backlash but, Really does suck to hear that the story really fell apart later on and sucks even more that I probably won't even get to see it. But really? A negative -229 on a single page? T ╹)

Geez, Just what was on that page that casued such a massive backlash?
I'll go ahead and make my way through these deleted post to see if I can piece together Just that ╹ ╹)

Thanks for the informative reply and if you don't mind me bugging you later,
Would love to talk to you more about what just the heck happen with the comic.

In the future, if a post has been deleted, often you can still find it by checking the sources field. This is the case with the SotS comic.

lots of funny shit happened

i don't give a two shits about drama so all i know is there was a short period of people disliking shit jason made, starting with underfags throwing a hissy fit he made an undertale porn comic

a bunch more shit happens and now it's commonplace to hate on him and most people really don't know why. his shit gets tons of downvotes. now he makes servants of the serpent, with tons of losers riled. not knowing what asexual means, his girlfriend who also made the comic portrayed them wrong. now all the tumblrinas are raging at him too.

there's a fuck ton of dislikes on all his content and his girl throws a temper tantrum and orders all their comics taken down cause of the shitstorm. he goes along with it

There was an undertale comic made by them? Wow were kind I find that! ╹‿╹)
don't worry, I'm not gonna find it to hate on it, Honestly, I'm really not that kind of person
(Hell, I have a hard enough time cursing and not coming off as trying to be 'cutesy' with how passively I act T ‿T)

Curiosity's really got me on its hook again and an undertale comic made by them sounds soooooooooo interesting and I wanna decide for myself if it really wanted that h8 you said it got. ╹‿╹)
Was it ever uploaded to e621? because if so I could find the source file which would make looking for the first page a lot easier ◠‿◠)

As for the rest, put like that, I can clearly see why the peeps would want their stuff removed. I mean with that many doods practically setting fire to any attempt you make while never dropping the mindset of "This artist is terrible and there's nothing they can do to fix it, and I must let them know this" I could see why she wanted to take down the comic. I mean, Why bother at that point if there just gonna slap it outta your hand, right?

It honestly pisses me off that you insufferable twats would just rail on constantly on every single upload how much you hate whatever it is they post. If you don't like it then just fuck the living hell off, but no, your uncontrollable autism wouldn't allow you to coexist in the same universe as kaiber comics, and you physically couldn't help blathering on again and again how much you hate their work. It's infuriating. And now because of your uncontrollable autistic fits, they just refuse to have any of their comics posted here, which made it easier for people like myself who don't like FA or any other sites and resort to aggregate sites like e621. Every single one of you who absolutely REFUSES to just drop your irrational, retarded hate for the work they produce can rightfully go fuck yourselves.

As some of you very people will parrot on for eternity when someone mentions they don't like something; Just blacklist it. You're all literal tumors.
