I don't think we had a thread about
Neomorphasis yet, and I don't think he really warrants one either. I rambled about him tangentially in the Chris Hart thread long ago, but here goes...
I guess Neomorphasis is not getting any attention because he's not really super-active these days and seems to mostly just confine himself to roleplaying in World of Warcraft. Just got inspired to see what he's been up to lately, and nope,
not much. He's been using tons of other aliases too, though I've forgotten all of those pseudo-Biblical alphabet soups.
He did attract the attention of trolls when he was much more active in deviantArt. He was drawing hentai drawings of elves, and was apparently designing some kind of a super-Christian-friendly fantasy world and planning to turn it into a franchise of some sort. Of course, three immediate problems: he's not particularly good at drawing hentai, the characters are a bit wonky, lifeless and emotionless. (In retrospect, reading the discussions I had with him, I'd say that because he had such deep-running fundamentalist Christian homophobic streaks going on, he's somehow just too scared to draw male characters. Which most say would be pretty important if you'd want to do some proper character design and maybe draw erotic art that isn't hopelessly *ahem* one-sided.)
Secondly: he was not actually very productive at designing characters and actually writing down the stories. I had to tell him that it's such a shame to quit on the work because he was not entirely terrible at this, but I guess he just was too scared of the
evil trolls.
Thirdly: fundamentalist Christianity + nubile elves = not exactly winning over his friends, and rather than trying to win over his friends by negotiating, he just ranted about how closed-minded the other Christian communities were. (He said he cut connections with other religious groups and formed his own theological interpretation from ground up. Basically, "Insert your basic evangelical rapture-ready Teapartier nonsense here. Except elf porn is totally okay. Because.") In general, he tended to have tons of ideas on how to totally alienate everyone in the communities that
could have supported him.
Funny thing was, after he ragequit deviantArt the millionth time, he mostly focused on doing his stuff in his own website, where he was actually relatively safe from the trolls. Not that it stopped him from being paranoid, he just kept staring at his access logs like a hawk. (And probably still does. I don't advice linking to him unless we
seriously want another 200-page lolcow thread. By far, I think he should be left alone and ignored. Like I said, he's not been doing much lately.) Last I heard he was furious that some people were searching for homosexuality in the search keywords according to Google Analytics, and his fictional characters are STRAIGHT
.
But still, while he was still actively updating his website, he had some hilarious short-lived "projects" going on there. There was a political blog that was "right wing" in the sense of "open the aircraft door, walk up the right wing, plummet to delirium". There was a wiki that he never figured out how to properly secure, even when I tried helping him. A website wouldn't be complete without a picture of his dick in porridge, specifically targeted for the ladies out there (NOT guys obviously). ...which he deleted, because in retrospect he didn't really want it there. ...too bad MediaWiki has its deletion log. ...which only super hackers can access, did I mention that? ...I may have screenshots of some funny things he deleted from the web page, but I don't know if they're worth posting.
It was actually pretty funny to watch those meltdowns happen, because I just know there weren't that many people paying any attention to his website. Sheer paranoid floundering.
All in all, this was a funny episode in the Internet history. It's sad he's mostly decided to stick to WoW and doesn't actually seem to have grown as a person. There would probably be more tales to tell, but I just don't think it's worth a new thread. Though to write this up and be done with it, really.
