* [[Ctrl+Alt+Del]], [[Crosses the Line Twice|on three separate occasions]], set the internet ablaze.
** The first was during the [[ROM]]-icide incident, when the series creator, Tim Buckley, deleted most of the forum posters after he
** The second was after the infamous [http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20080602 Loss strip.] Sending the series into [[Cerebus Syndrome]] at full force, made worse by Buckley's blog post in response to the strip.
** The third was the infamous Abby-gate incident, when it was discovered that Buckley GISed one of his characters, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120609195303/http://forums.g4tv.com/showthread.php?t=150312 shamelessly copying another persons artwork.]
* ''[[A Modest Destiny]]'' by Squidi versus ''[[Penny Arcade]]'''s forums due to copyright concerns -- more detail [http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49593 here].
* The webcomic ''[[Bitmap World]]'' has <s>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090105235347/http://www.bitmapworld.com/smcomic2.cgi?a=52 parodied]</s>([[Dead Link]]) the ending with a very literal interpretation of the event. (Spoiler, of course)
* Want to start a fight on ''this'' wiki? Refer to ''"
** Come to think of it, criticize ''EGS'' on this wiki and you can measure how long before [[Edit War|it gets removed]] in the minutes.
* David Morgan-Mar wanted to use the correct terminology: is the Lego implement in [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1902.html this] ''[[Irregular Webcomic]]'' strip a spade or a shovel? So he looked it up online and found that no one can agree on the difference between spades and shovels, if there even is one. His below-the-comic commentary on the confusion simply inspired more people to weigh in and further confuse the issue.
** Curiously, a lot of the confusion (especially the author's initial confusion) seems to come down to excessive literalism and people taking the same words to mean different things. At least in the UK, the definitions are as follows: ''(missing)''
Line 31:
** One needn't go outside the [[Megatokyo]] forums to get into a flamewar about MT. It's apparently popular, for those outside the "Story Discussions" and "SD Fanworks" subforums, to take a dump on the comic, even if without the comic the other forums ''wouldn't exist'' (it's not internet fairies paying the forum bandwidth, after all).
* ''[[Grim Tales from Down Below]]''. Three words: {{spoiler|MANDY DID WTC.}} This one comic has managed to cause many a flame war.
* [[8-Bit Theater
**
* ''[[Penny and Aggie]]''
** Helen: misunderstood [[The Woobie|woobie]] underdog, or spiteful, self-pitying traitor? If you like forum discussions well exceeding twenty pages ''per thread'', you'll love this.
Line 39:
** [[Penny and Aggie]] ''anything''. That fandom can pick ''anything'' to the bones, suck out the marrow, and write a treatise on the meaning of each joint.
* ''[[Ménage à 3]]'': Zii: [[Loveable Sex Maniac]], or [[Manipulative Bastard]] [[Karma Houdini]]?
* [[Overly Long Gag|Have we mentioned
* For as widely respected as [[Penny Arcade]] is, its subject matter choices and...let's say "irreverent" approach have produced a few.
**
** A more insular version came back in 2006, when the guys mocked a webcomic documentary they found silly and pretentious, especially the performance of webcomic artist Cat Garza.
* The ''[[Homestuck]]'' fandom has its own special word for this: [[Base Breaker|Vriska]]chat.
** Please [[Don't Ask]] about the replaced music in a few animations. It [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|brings up]] [[Broken Base|unpleasant memories]]. <ref>The explanation can be found in the [[Homestuck/Headscratchers|JBM Homestuck page]].</ref>
** One sorta-started after Hussie made a tumblr post saying that all the characters lack any race, and then [[Orwellian Retcon|edited a line of text to make reflect that.]]
* Discuss [[Sailor Nothing]]. Is it a brilliant deconstruction that totally predates more subversive stuff released recently, like ''[[Madoka Magica]]'' or ''[[Pretty Cure]]''? Or a [[Bloodier and Gorier]] piece of i-net crap with a creepy obsession with [[Rape as Drama]] and has massive [[Did Not Do the Research]] in regards to Japanese culture? Is it true that more than one local edit about it was actually made by the author himself or people in his inner circle, or are these just coincidences? Either way, think twice before asking.
