Klownboy is systematically ruining all of the emoticons we hold so dearly.

Rongi · #7

I like JTHM, but klownboy is giving it a bad name.

klownboy · #10

im not giving jthm a bad name!! if any ones giving it a bad name you are.

pjalne · #11

I've been wondering if I should give JtHM a shot for a long time, but since so many fucking morons seem to like it, I've been putting it off. You provided the last nail.

klownboy · #12

why do you hate me.

Emu · #13

We don't hate you, we just like fucking with your head.

klownboy · #14

okee dokee... thats cool.

Spectre X · #15

He's lying, we do hate you. We hate you because of your stupid and annoying posts you litter the forums with, and we couldn't care less if you broke down crying and shot up your parents and school. It would only provide us a few good laughs, seeing as we'd finally be rid of you, you fucking moron. That's why we hate you, we hate you because you won't stop living and being stupid. You fuckstick!

klownboy · #16

oooookkkkkkk........

maby you should settle down with the cafine.

Spectre X · #17

maybe you should cut down on the living.

I liked Jthm a lot, dont let those people who shop at hot topic because they think its an "underground" store scare you out of it as they almost did to me. Its more entertaining than having a point so its not like their philosophy or anything. But Squee is better.

It really is a funny book. But as SenorSalsa and Drev said "Hot Topicers" like good ol' klown boy give it a bad name thinking that it was made just for them and that its the newest, undergroundest thing in the entire world, even though its been out for AGES.

This is true. Jhonen Vasquez himself has said that the series wasn't made for the stereotypical "goth" persona of "depressed teenager wearing black and writing horrible poetry about how much life sucks", it was made to MAKE FUN of that type of person. Yet his audience, thanks in no small part to Hot Topic and its ilk, IS mostly made of of those types. Ah, irony.

I knew JTHM has been out for ages, but I never read it until I got interested in Jhonen's work when Zim started.

BTW, I've never been in a Hot Topic. :/

Also, I said knlownboy gave it a bad name because he kept screaming like an idiot about it. I'm not goth either.

oedipus_wrecked · #22

I once had someone ask me, "Hey, if you aren't suicidal/depressive/stereotypically goth/the "no one understands me" type, HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY HOPE TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING IN JTHM????!!!" I think that's the huge problem with JtHM fandom right now summed up in one sentence.

Interestingly, I used to know a girl who worked at Hot Topic, and she said that most of the employees there (including herself) were hardcore Christians and HATED JtHM. They wished that the store didn't sell it. I find it odd that they didn't seem to object to anything ELSE sold in the store.

JTHM is good. It's a bit sick. Definitely morbid. But it's certainly more than just a comic about some serial killer.

Kind of like how Beavis and Butthead caught on with the crowd it was making fun of.

Bumping old threads is fun.
