>>77431372>I kind of feel bad for Josh because I used to be a huge fan of his back when he was doing Girly, but then I remember he's a gargantuan asshole. Karma's doing her job.Josh Lesnick is many things, but I wouldn't go as far as to call him an asshole.
Lesnick is the result of what happens when you immerse yourself in a toxic social circle for years where the participants give it's members more acknowledgement and recognition for ripping into other artist's work for whichever arbitrary reason of the week they find most amusing rather than encourage themselves to produce more and better quality original content.
Instead of placing value in their best works, they instead elevate those that come up with the snarkiest, bitterest slam on that which they don't like.
Perhaps he's a lesson on why doing something more constructive with your time and energy in the long run is more rewarding than bitching about shit you don't like...
I don't think he's an asshole. I do think he should have spent more time studying his craft and learning how to draw rather than crutch on "MUH CARTOONY STYLE". He might have gotten away with it however, had he shut his fucking mouth and had enough sense to be humble and glad for the fans that appreciated his work for what it is. Instead he allowed his hugbox circle to convince him he was invincible-- and worse still, that his opinions had value.
Now instead of the the author of Cutewendy, Girlyyy and founder of Slipshine, Lesnick is that misandrist jerk than defended Moon Over June, hates capitalism, and bungled his Crowdfunded video game.
I sincerely hope he turns his life around. I really don't think he is as bad a guy as he makes himself out to be. He just really needs to learn how to shut the fuck up and stop sharing his opinions on everything in public and let his work speak for him instead.
Also You Suck is Lesnick's most coherent work to date. I think It's worth checking out at the very least.
