A quote from "Alex's" Facebook.

"Internet strangers don't bother me, they just need to be reminded occasionally that these are real people with real lives who have no idea who they are.

Thank you so much for the compliments though, it means a lot that so many people like our project!"

Dude has more patience than I would, being swarmed by /b/s.

Yeah, the 'white knight' comment was somebody snarking about how we're being blind henchmen going nuts in defense of people we don't know. That can be a problem sometimes. I don't think it was made fairly, though. It's not that we want positive attention, so much as we didn't want the creators packing up shop because they're being bugged in relatively private spaces. Seeing as how Alex's actor doesn't seem too bothered by it, and Jay's actor seems to be still mix-mashing things up, I suppose we were being a little frothy at the mouth... but having ridiculous fanboys swarming artists/creators/whatever has had them shut down and back off in the past, so it's not like we were bawling for no reason.

Anyways: bad trolls! Get back under the bridge where you belong!

This is what happens when your audience (by accident or design) consists at least in part of 4chan. You have to contend with the socially retarded dwellers thereon, who have convinced themselves that their weakness in the real world translates to toughness in the digital one. Settle down, kids. "Internet success" is an oxymoron.

There's no white-knighting going on here. My interest in the creators being left alone is purely selfish. On the one hand, I don't want to run the risk of having my favorite webseries swarmed by the falsely entitled and socially maladjusted, a scenario with the possible consequence of its creators saying, "Fuck it, let's do something else." On the other, as a person who struggles every day to make a living in a creative way, I sympathize with like-minded individuals whose audience feels like knowledge of the product is equatable to knowledge of the producer. It's pathetic high school nut-jobbery at best, and the attempt to truss it up as stoic internet tough-guy-ism only makes it worse.

I don't support the harassment of them by any means, but honestly, what did they expect? If they didn't want to be bothered, they shouldn't have openly come out on Facebook and put it in their profiles.

From a personal point of view, I hate knowing who the people are behind this and knowing it's a complete work of fiction. There is a big difference from me and it hinders the experience going from that 0.001% chance that it could all be real and knowing without a doubt that it's all acting and there's a 0% chance of it being real. I really wish I never stumbled upon their facebooks. I also hate to think that the series will somehow be affected by them being public. The idea that they might be trying to push endgame because they're sick of being harassed or something similar.

I know they probably wanted to put it in their profiles for possible job opportunities, but I wish they had just a bit more tact than that and maybe put it in something less frequented by fans, such as LinkedIn, where people in the industry probably are already signed up at.

Ok... so let's rationalize this using your views then...

I draw a picture and post it online. My picture becomes real popular, people talk about it a lot.
I mention it on a tiny little section of my Facebook profile, because I'm proud of my work. This obviously means I'm not concerned about being hassled by dozens of fans day and night, some of who want to know every single detail of my and my friends lives to help them better understand the symbolism in my drawing.
But obviously, I want the attention, otherwise I wouldn't admit in taking part in the creation of it, right?
