While I can appreciate articles that are critical of this hobby (it helps re-enforce that I'm not the only one seeing some of these things) this article reads as though you found one decent talking point and then stretched it into an entire article.

The main point of contention I have with the article is the way it comes off as you don't quite "get" fandom. The main site you use is Joedios, however the vast majority of people on this website don't make Dio Stories, which you constantly refer to solely as "dios" this and the paragraph dealing with Joe fans and the Marvel comic. There's been a comic vs. cartoon debate for 13 years. The things I listed plus other people acknowledging that all sorts of other hobbies have there own version of the thing sort of makes the article hard to take credibly.


Please don't mistake me as some butthurt G.I. Joe fan, I haven't read a Dio Story since 2006 and I haven't enjoyed one since Zartan's Domain's GI J was still online. I'm more of a butthurt fan of critical G.I. Joe articles



Also would you mind explaining this“This is the most punk-rock thing I’ve ever done.”? In my experience that's something said by people without a lot of punk rock exposure
