Man, why hasn't anyone added Kickboxer Einstein to the 1984 Wiki Article?
I feel like this is just a sort of inevitable thing given the sort of fans that hussie has and their age group. When you get a bunch of kids together in any sort of feedback of similar thoughts, you get a lot of idiots thinking that Prank Calling Betty Crocker will be super hilarious and have no repercussions.
It certainly doesn't help that Hussie has all of these real world references in his webcomic, which lends to this sort of thing! (i assume that the same sort of thing would happen if anime's referenced real products and companies and put them into that sort of position of VILLAINY)
On that note, is it legal to publish a book with like, all of the things that homestuck has taken wholesale? Like I know that What Pumpkin paid the royalties and such for Mr. Bowman's covers, but I am curious if all of this stuff is something he can actually do.
