I was thinking about writing something on the line of what I announced in the past entry, but what has happened recently surrounding the artist who does the work for _The S.T.E.A.L. Saga_, that is Too, made me change my mind.
<!-- more -->People sometimes wonder why I dislike "social networking" and "community sites" on the Internet. The reason is that many people who go there are often in their teens and they can easily turn into a lynch mob. It has happened before with the [Blue Gartr versus FFXIclopedia fiasco](http://www.dennogumi.org/2007/09/17/idiocy-at-its-maximum/), and it has happened a few days ago with Too.

Basically, someone started posting an image which allegedly reported many similarities between his work and other ones. While the resemblance was in some case done purposely (as written by Too himself in the notes), in most it was sketchy if totally absent. That was enough to start some voices (a minority genuinely concerned, a majority because they had nothing better to do) to yell "_Reference! Reference! Kill!"_. Worse, people started asking refunds for his _Genesis_ artbook because it contained "reference" material. Not to mention insults and general hatred. Recently posts have been claiming that he also lied about his career.
