Ever feel like some of the reviews found on the Bad Webcomic Wiki feel like they're reaching for something negative to say about a given webcomic sometimes? The recent one over "My Alien Girlfriend Doesn't Know I'm an Alien" really feels like the most trying when it came to addressing its supposed downfalls and problems, but most of the time spends a large portion of the review waffling around them.
Most BWW reviews have not actually read the comic they're "reviewing". I have seen BWW reviews that
Complain about plot holes that were clearly explained in the comic
Fail to notice a character is the villain and berate the author for writing him doing bad things
Seemingly not understand the concept of a "scene transition",
Think online comics are called "webtoons" despite writing for The Bad Webcomics Wiki
Claim that a female author was a man with a "gay fetish"
Interpret a shot of a character's room full of trash as a sign the character collected trash as a hobby (?)
Post a scene of the protagonist casually using a transphobic slur as evidence of "SJW buzzwords"
Berate the comic for spending whole chapters about two "gay boyfriends" when the comic itself never hints at any romance between them and one of them is dating someone else and the fact that one of them is dating someone else (who is abusive) is literally the entire plot of the comic
Reads a chapter in which a protagonist is framed for destroying a kitchen and misses the "framed" part and berates the protagonist for doing crimes
And that was just one review! They are inept scrawls written by people who may have given the comic a quick skim and half the time haven't even done that!
