Who was me? Chris Hall or BluntTime? Because I\'m neither. But I\'ll admit, that if that were true, it would be the greatest plot twist ever in the universe, especially if I were both because this little mystery behind this webcomic has become a intricate web of misconceptions, lies, misdirections, ruses, and misleadings. Me being Chris Hall and BluntTime, and the whole thing being in my weird little head would be the perfect ending. Almost Fight Club esque. However, that ending isn\'t possible, because I am not Chris Hall, nor am I BlunTime, or Liz Davis or infamous lolcow Robert Wayne Stiles.

I\'m just some random dope who stumbled upon something at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Apparently after I made that thread on 4chan\'s /co/ about Shredded Moose, BlunTime kind of blew up and went over to /co/ and made a skirmish. There I found that his/her name was Liz Davis and apparently he/she made or is at least making a webcomic called \

Apparently after I made a thread on 4chan\\\'s /co/ about Shredded Moose, BlunTime kind of blew up and went over to /co/ and made a skirmish. There I found that his/her name was Liz Davis and apparently he/she made or is at least making a webcomic called \\\"Watch Your Mouth\\\", with the prototype name of the project being \\\"InspiredByShreddedMoose\\\". Basically it seems to be a personal project about the author\\\'s life but done in the weird style of Shredded Moose in both terms in regards to Penny Arcade style retro graphic artwork and the (attempted metaphysical?) writing style. But except for transgenders. I know, it\\\'s a little bizarre, but the art looks great, probably because he/she hired a talented artist to do the artwork.

Apparently Liz Davis is infamous on the chan boards, and caused some drama over his/her pushing of his/her project at some board at some chan I did not know about called \\\"How\\\'s Your Webcomic\\\" or \\\"/HYW/\\\". They referred to her as \\\"that crazy tranny who loves Shredded Moose\\\".


Welp I got some research when I found an archive of the lolcow board was still up so as I was browsing through different threads about different decrepit losers, I decided to go to a thread about Robert Wayne Stiles, in famous bath salts taking, the pyromaniac tranny that I heard about but never cared to read about(I\\\'m more familiar with CWC, Nick Bates, and ADF).

http://888chan.org/cow/res/39352.html

The thread was done by Homor, who is a bit of a celebrity on the chan boards, simultaneously revered for his wisdom and insights and mocked for well... being a \\\"Tripfag\\\" as people who use tripcodes are called.

Homor also did this video that I personally found hilarious and I thought his interpretation of Chris Hall was spot on because it matched with mine at the time.

Then I found out that Chris Hall was an environmentalist. I wish I had a link to the video. It was in our deleted conversations. But going on...

It was in this thread that I read up an exactly who Robert Wayne Stiles was, and apparently he is a really crazy person who takes bath salts and sets things on fire. He was also, strangely enough Shredded Moose\\\'s single fan and he made a crazy blog devoted to it called Shredded Moose Memorial or something.

In it he claimed there was a conspiracy against Shredded Moose by (Social Justice Warriors)SJWs and John Soloman of Badwebcomics.blogspot.com and Dave Willis of Shortpacked! fame. He claimed they ganged up on the creators and lambasted them for being misogynistic when their work was actually a satire of misogyny through politically incorrect humor ala South Park.

Now this claim is definately bogus bollocks, because first, John Soloman is not who you would call a politically correct SJW, he was in fact, a troll. The best kind of troll. A professional troll. The kind who was insightful as he was inciteful. He would tell a creator to die in a fire in one breath, but give advice on how to make a good webcomic in another. He\\\'d claim that the comics he reviewed were \\\"worse than Hitler\\\", but then recommend some good webcomics every now and then, and accurately explain why he thought work was bad by pointing out the objective flaws in such work. Most tellingly, his first review was actually of Shortpacked! Now while that review was his tamest work, and while John Solomon was initially a fan, John lambasted Shortpacked! for focusing on drama, noting that Dave Willis sucks hard at drama, and that he should stick to comedy. He called Dave Willis a hack for listening to fans who demanded more drama in Shortpacked!

http://badwebcomicsarchive.blogspot.com/2007/06/shortpacked.html

Plus Dave Willis, himself isn\\\'t the kind of person to conspire or lead an army against anyone. Most likely Dave Willis is the kind of person who would have an army against him because as John Solomon would put it, \\\"Dave Willis lacks the balls to make firm decisions\\\".


Now while RWS\\\'s conspiracy theories are inane and bogus, and paranoid over something extremely petty, there was a kernal of truth in his arguments.

While there is no grand \\\"SJW conspiracy\\\", and Chris Hall and Brian Krumm aren\\\'t as persecuted as we thought(They do children\\\'s books now, and they seem to be doing fine), Shredded Moose did turn against the misogyny it displayed going so far to have the Marty Stu frat boy protagonist face repercussions for his actions, have his friends turn away from him and point out his insanity, and ultimately getting raped with a green dildo by the Strawman Feminist in revenge for the girl he raped, and show him what it feels like to go through the trauma of rape, with the Strawman Feminist being completely in the right and with the Marty Stu protagonist being completely in the wrong. Suffice to say, there\\\'s no way to deny it the tables were completely turned midway through the comic. Is the comic still terrible? Yes, at least to me because this reversal of philosophy and intent makes the comic even more confusing, and when you try to portray dramatic scenes with comical PA style characters, it makes the tone confusing and makes wonder whether or not you should be laughing or not. Same with Shortpacked!. It was practically the kernal of truth expressed with BlunTime\\\'s edits and discussion.


Now here\\\'s where it gets crazy, in the deleted discussions between BlunTime and me, I linked him/her the video of Homor dressed up as Chris Hall, mocking Shredded Moose, and mentioned some aspects about 789chan and 888chan and about the culture on those boards and the lolcows that we laughed at, and he/she brought up Robert Wayne Stiles, and feverishly denied that he/she was him/her, and he even sent me photos of himself cosplaying as Brew. Or at least what I thought were photos of him/her cosplaying as Brew. suffice to say I believed him/her. I mean the time stamped photos didn\\\'t even look like the pictures of RWS so I thought \\\"okay legit\\\".

Then guess what, as I scrolled through screencaps of RWS\\\'s insane defenses of Shredded Moose and his \\\"Chimpouts\\\", I came across something shocking.

According to /cow/, these screencap were from a blog from RWS, and if what /cow/ says is true, then Liz Davis, who was BlunTime, was Robert Wayne Stiles all along!

From what I\\\'ve heard Robert Wayne Stiles has got people to pose in pictures for him so that he can create sock puppet accounts and fool people like me. Ironic isn\\\'t? That this conspiracy theorist is actually a grand conspirator him/herself misleading and deceiving, and weaving a complex web over something that was already a complex web to begin with.

And just to note for completion\\\'s sake, there was already a trolling front lead by shittywebcomics.tumblr.com called \\\"Blended Goose 2.br0\\\" that I fell for hook line and sinker where I thought Chris Hall was trying to reboot Shredded Moose. There was even an Penny Arcade member named \\\"Coach Brew\\\" who did a comic about irl versions of the Penny Arcade duo getting their car blown up by Brew, and he got banned for that! I was felt so flabbergasted when I found out that was all fake and done by anonymous parodists, I thought it was for real!

If RWS was behind that too, I think my head is going to explode, and if RWS is Chris Hall, the world is gonna explode... And if RWS is me, and Chris Hall is she, and she is he and he is a she and she is a he and Liz is me, and Blunt Time is he/she, and if John Solomon is Charlie Brooker and Charlie Brooker is Maddox and Maddox is Josh Lesnick and we are all together in the mind of Charlie Brooker and we are the eggman and Charlie Brooker is the Walrus... Then I think the whole universe is going to explode!
