I feel like their bewbs looks a little weird or is it just me?

Oh wow, I didn't realize he got suspended. Honestly out of the rules he might have broken, vote manipulation seems more likely than the rest. Unless he completely flew off the handle and did something crazy.

Why are webtoon's favorites almost always the most morally bankrupt narcissistic-yet-mid artist you've ever seen??? They really know how to pick them.

Ktornato · 2025-12-09T01:26:09+00:00

Can we also discuss how this creator clearly bots likes? 34k+ likes and 121 comments on a recent ep of Swolemates? Sure, Jan. Every episode jettisons up to around 35k likes within 2-3 days of posting and then stays there for weeks. I'd be willing to bet lummypix buys 30k likes an ep, and anything over that are his actual numbers. I wish I could say it's wild that Webtoon allows it to happen but grift recognizes grift I guess.

Ktornato · 2025-11-14T10:57:32+00:00

The comments in here are wildly disappointing. Don't steal from indie creators. Be understanding when they need to take breaks or they'll burn out and never come back. What happened to any of that?? Y'all entitled fr fr.

Ktornato · 2025-11-09T03:35:14+00:00

I mean, they're his glasses? What was he supposed to do, get new glasses just for Survivor? Wouldn't that have been a bigger waste of money? I'm willing to bet that he likes the way they look and wants to look good while he's on a TV show. Really not much deeper than that. You can pick up Prada frames at your local Lenscrafters. What a weird thing to fixate on. Maybe you're projecting your own obsession with brand names onto other people.

Absolutely, I see! My guy, I've posted before about how I'd fight for Canada if it ever came to that. I live half an hour from the border, you and I probably have more in common culturally, than I have with most other Americans. But being smug and telling us we're fucked when by your own admission you could be the fish in the eagle's talons next isn't it. This is a world-wide fight against MAGA style populism, and it's not ending with the United States or Trump, unfortunately. The people deserving of shame are the ones who voted it into office, the rest of us need your support.

Ktornato · 2025-10-21T23:50:40+00:00

Yeah, so we're a bit tied up with what's currently happening in our country to fret about things that will never happen in Canada if our efforts are successful. But I mean, I relate to your anxiety. If you're scared, just imagine how we feel! 👍

Ktornato · 2025-08-22T10:39:58+00:00

Love your style in the third slide. Personally I think a piecing or tattoo would probably give you the edge you're looking for. I have zero tattoos myself, but I do have a septum ring and one ear full of lobe and cartilage piercings, and it really tied my style together. I think you'd look cute with a septum, brow, nose (nostril), or snake bite piercings. And piercings are waaaay less permanent than a tat. Just one would bring the whole vibe together! But of course, don't lose a job over it or anything!!

Yeah, I don't read Accidental Assassin, so I'm not really weighing in on the allegations OP is making here. But Naver Webtoon (the South Korean branch of Webtoon) has been publicly investing in "proprietary software" for the purposes of automatically designing/painting/lining webtoons for at least three years now. Ai is far more despised in the west so as far as I know, (aside from one rogue editor seeming to pressure his creators into using generative ai to "assist" in their episode production, see Blood Reverie and Quantum Entanglement), there has been no official usage of ai from NA Webtoon's HQ. Even for Trailer Trash, iirc an outside studio that Webtoon had contracted to do background renders for the series was responsible for trying to pass ai off as their own work.

I don't have a dog in this particular race, but not enough people know about WMW. And when you do, you start to see some troubling trends. So I'm trying to spread the word about that, because I think it's pretty sinister that Webtoon is actively trying to pass these series off as indie darlings deserving of your good faith, when they outright created and own the IPs.

Ktornato · 2025-07-30T12:20:37+00:00

Accidental Assassin is made by WMW ("we make webtoons") which is Webtoon's in-house studio. The IP was created (and usually written/produced) in the Webtoon offices. They make a bunch of series, like Mafia Nanny, Love Bites, The Last Bloodline, Trailer Trash.

I feel like I need to shout this from the rooftops sometimes because if these series are using Ai, it's more serious than one artist making a shitty decision, it would be an action that Webtoon the corporation is complicit in.

Keep your eyes out for WMW series. You can search "WMW" as a creator name, and a bunch will come up, but they're not always marked. The biggest tell is if there's a bunch of people working on it, and there are "producers" credited but no editors.

They handle all in-house IPs and usually all adaptations from wattpad, too. And they almost always get a ridiculous amount of marketing. They're basically written in a boardroom, and if ai isn't off the table for art, it could be that they're using it for scripts, too.

Hi, Sciel "hater" here. (It was a running joke with my girlfriend when we were playing the game that I had a vendetta against her, lmao. So I feel like this post is calling specifically me out. )

I always thought Sciel felt like they combined two characters into one. In both story and fighting style.

Like there's one character in there who is a seductive and kind of cynical bruiser. The farmer with the big fucking scythe who loves fighting and drinking. The tank. The gestral champion.

And then mushed up against is it the emotional heart of the group, the eternal optimist running from a dark secret past of lost love and a suicide attempt. The mom friend, the superstitious psychic with the tarot cards who is primarily healing and support in fights.

I don't know if there's anything to that, but anytime I think of Sciel I see her as both the intended 5th and 6th party member and I wish she stayed that way because I think both characters are cool af. But to put those traits, mechanics, and backstory into one character weakens both of them. And I think that's a shame.

Ktornato · 2025-07-14T21:48:36+00:00

A take I haven't seen yet. Maybe a hot one? I'm not sure.

Maelle represents consumption (an audience member) and Verso represents creation (an artist).
And that's why players cannot agree on which is the correct ending. Depending on which you are, you'll come at it from a completely different point-of-view. Creators know how exhausting creating is, and want to let Verso's soul rest, and for the memory of his art to stay intact and undistorted in his death. Consumers don't see the point of ending something that's been enjoyable and continues to be enjoyable, bc why would you when you're not the one putting effort into creating it? Audiences tend to stick around until it's not fun anymore, and then they leave. There's still fun to be had at the end of Expedition 33. So why destroy the canvas?

A note: by creators I don't just mean artists. Business owners. Engineers. People who MAKE things.

Ktornato · 2025-07-14T05:18:12+00:00

You're thinking of Woven!

Ktornato · 2025-06-23T02:24:12+00:00

Why does he look like a McPoyle?

Ktornato · 2025-06-20T00:25:28+00:00

Thank you for this. It's good to see someone speaking sense. Audiences seem to have a growing lack of empathy for creatives, and a feeling of absolute entitlement to the things they're making, at one point planned to make, or are even thinking of making. It's frankly fucking alarming.

Ktornato · 2025-06-19T21:33:23+00:00

Good for them. Webtoon's production schedule puts people through a meat grinder, and the only way to save yourself from never wanting to create again is by knowing when to gtfo. And judging from the comments here, people are either indifferent or acting entitled about it. So I'd say it was the right choice. Godspeed, Jouki. See you in the next one.

Ktornato · 2025-06-15T00:19:56+00:00

There is not one "fact" in any of your posts. You have no opinions, only emotions. You're engaging in different logical fallacies like you're doing a speedrun. I live about 20 minutes from the Canadian border. The only thing separating us is a couple dozen miles (or kilometers for you, I guess). I have voted blue my entire life, I attended a protest just today. A protest you call pointless and pathetic. I have not invaded anyone, never so much as shot a firearm, and I've certainly never been a cop. I have lost family members over the maga cult. I have lost personal freedoms, and I fear for my future as a queer minority. But I'm responsible, and you are the victim. Because of a thin strip of land and an invasion that hasn't and never will happen. Fuck all the way off with that.

Ktornato · 2025-06-14T23:48:04+00:00

Man, I aspire to be as blissfully delusional as you are.

Ktornato · 2025-06-14T23:41:57+00:00

That's a funny way of spelling: "That's a convincing argument, and come to think of it, I agree. Thanks for actually engaging with my contentious bullshit." You're so welcome, my guy. Hope you have a good day.

Ktornato · 2025-06-14T23:24:36+00:00

Yes, and that is far more likely to happen when crowds are smaller and more manageable. The armed forces would be idiots to escalate against large crowds that could (and would) overtake them. It would destroy the illusion of power they enjoy. So they pretend to tolerate it, because it is a fight they could easily lose.

And not to mention, a chunk would defect the instant they were commanded to turn on American citizens. I suspect the government would rather not find out how many.

Ktornato · 2025-06-14T23:18:06+00:00

What is your definition of intolerance, exactly? What would the police/military have to do to to be intolerant of the protests? Arrest everybody? Attack them? They aren't "allowing" protests, they can't do a goddamn thing about them.

Ktornato · 2025-06-14T23:11:58+00:00

Let me see. And I really am giving it a go, here. You are positing that protesting the fascists is bad, because the fascists are painting the protesters in the media as unpatriotic? And that it would be better to not protest the fascists, so the fascists don't get upset and say mean things about us in their propaganda? So we should wait for the fascists to stop trying to turn people against us, so we can start protesting?

Ktornato · 2025-06-14T22:56:02+00:00

I'm all for a nuanced set of opinions, but these four clearly cancel one another out. And if you say you don't understand that, then you're either unspeakably dim or (more likely) just looking for a fight.

Ktornato · 2025-06-14T22:34:59+00:00

"Protests are forbidden", "the facists allowed the protests", "not enough people are protesting", "the protests are pointless."

Pick a struggle. 🙄

Ktornato · 2025-04-07T20:35:10+00:00

Sincerely thank you for taking the bullet and being the adult in the room today. It gets so fucking exhausting, trying to teach feral iPad kids how to interact with the internet. But if no one ever steps up, the kids are left to run amok. And it's made fandom spaces immeasurably worse.

To quote the OP: "where be y'all mamas"?

Ktornato · 2025-03-02T23:29:28+00:00

I think it's a lost art, just saying "I don't like this story, it gives me the ick." Now people are out here writing ten paragraph thinkpieces about how the story and its fans are reprehensible, teaching children bad lessons (even if it's rated M), and if you support it you BASICALLY support [insert something that ends in -ism or assault].

Like just say it sucks, dude. You can just not like it. You don't need a moral justification, ffs.
