==Premise==
==Premise==
The story of Tails Gets Trolled begins with [[Tails]] being trolled in the first chapter. Tails and friends soon enter conflict with [[The Trolls]] and things begin to spiral out of control as they realize that there is much more going on in the world than a conflict between the two groups. Tails and his friends are separated in the ensuing chaos and are split into their own journeys (mostly) centered around dealing with the Trolls.

===Background===
DeviantArt (historically stylized as deviantART) is a community website launched on August 7, 2000. It allows users to upload their own artwork, photos, videos, and stories to their profile, where other users can comment and critique them. This is the website [[Lazerbot]] would find himself on to upload his own works of art. The exact date when he created his account has been lost to time, but his first submission was uploaded on September 14, 2009. (insert shit about stuff he uploaded before tgt here). Eventually, in late 2011, he would create what later became the epoch of his magnum opus.

===The Beginning===
===The Beginning===
The first page of Tails Gets Trolled was posted on DeviantArt on October 10, 2011, at 3:17 AM Central Daylight Time, entitled "tails getting trolled". This first page that was uploaded depicts [[Sonic]] comforting a traumatized [[Tails]], as [[Sonic]] explains to [[Shadow]] that Tails had gotten [[Trolling|trolled]], and they discuss their own particular methods on how to deal with [[The Trolls|trolls]]. The second page, and the first chronologically, was uploaded later that morning at 6:34 AM CDT, titled "tails gets trolled flashback", depicting the actual event of Tails getting trolled by [[Retard Double Threat|Butter Tits and the Dick Taker]]. At some unknown point later, the page titles were renamed to be the second and first pages of the comic respectively, which is how they are known today. The third page was uploaded on the same day at 10:49 PM CDT, and several more pages would be posted throughout the next week, interspersed with Lazerbot's usual art submissions unrelated to Tails Gets Trolled.

===''Something Awful''===
The comic would stay in the sea of DeviantArt and would not reach the coasts of the Internet as a whole until it was discovered by the website ''[[Wikipedia:Something Awful|Something Awful]]''. On February 18, 2012, ''Something Awful'' user Nunez would post a thread<ref name="tgt-sa-forum">''Something Awful'' (February 18, 2012). [https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3467407 Sonic & friends get trolled]</ref> on the websites' GBS (General Bullshit) subforum about the comic. Many users reacted with bewilderment to the comic, reacting to the typos and crude artstyle of the comics with some people likening Lazerbot to the likes of Chris Chan due to both material involving characters from the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' franchise as well as both authors appearing to be "abnormal" in the eyes of onlookers.

[[File:Ch. 9 neutrals.png|Keven drops a reference to ''Something Awful'''s word filter for unregistered users.|thumb|right|300px]]
As with any community-focused website, the ability for users to leave comments on DeviantArt, similar to an internet forum, leaves the door open for all kinds of dramatic situations to occur, and one such situation happened to one of Lazerbot's friends; specifically, she had been "trolled". This was the first time Lazerbot had encountered the idea of "trolling", which is basically to say something inflammatory to provoke a reaction out of someone, usually online. This discovery of trolling allowed Lazerbot to devise a concept which lead to the genesis of Tails Gets Trolled. (insert more know your meme interivew shit here)
Despite this, the thread in general had a positive reception to the comic and went on to produce fanart of various panels and moments within the first few chapters. Said works became notable enough that the website as a whole put up a front page article<ref name="SA-comedy-goldmine"/> showcasing the thread, giving the comic more exposure. Lazerbot himself would take notice of the comic's newly found attention<ref>lazerbot (February 20, 2012). [https://www.deviantart.com/lazerbot/art/my-thanks-286094492 my thanks (Lazerbot discovers SA for the firs time)]. ''DeviantArt''</ref> and would occasionally slip in references to the thread itself within ''Tails Gets Trolled'', such as using phrases from the websites word filter (most notably "gently caress," which replaces "fuck" for non-registered users, sometimes spelled as "gently cares" in the comic).


original text of this section:
As time went on, however, ''Something Awful'' would then be viewed in a more negative light as two incidents occurred. People, not limited to ''Something Awful'' however, would become more critical of the comic around Chapter 12, criticizing the comic for its focus on OCs and long battle sequences. Additionally, after an incident stemming from a comment left underneath a drawing of [[Hello Kitty]] with [[Tails]] on DeviantArt, a heated discussion about whether or not said wording is appropriate or morally allowed transpired. These two incidents angered Lazerbot leading to him leaving several angry messages on his Facebook and ultimatelazerbot deviantart account, lashing out at the detractors, which in turn would spill into the thread itself. Much of the negative criticism would then be attributed to "SA users". From then on the thread would be seen in a more critical view from Lazerbot himself which would lead to negative references being made about ''Something Awful'' in the comic itself, such as [[Doug]] namedropping ''Something Awful'' during Chapter 18<ref>''Tails Gets Trolled'', {{Link|18|1}}</ref>.
The comic began in 2011, when the first three pages were released on DeviantArt on October 10th, with further pages being released in a similar manner on Lazerbot's original DeviantArt account. On August 4th, 2012, Lazerbot's original account would be hacked by an Encyclopedia Dramatica troll named Ponygiotis Vavetsikas. The troll originally had wished for Lazerbot to include a reference to the [[Wikipedia:2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting|U.S. mass shooting known as the Colorado Theater shooting]] in the comic but was rejected.<ref>[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/628257789348675585/1024334849936466070/unknown.png?width=2880&height=346 SA Post explaining the hacker situation]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150426172027/https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Tails_gets_trolled#lol_Hacked Encyclopedia Dramatica archive explaining the hacker situation]</ref> Eventually, the troll would move to hack the account and upload his own version of the comic featuring a reference to said shooting. However, the hacking would prove to be meaningless as Lazerbot simply made a new account to continue uploading the comic on.
This would culminate in a post made on the ultimatelazerbot deviantArt account<ref>UltimateLazerbot (January 16, 2014). [https://www.deviantart.com/ultimatelazerbot/journal/The-truth-about-SA-Somethingawful-FOS-427249015 The truth about SA (Something Awful) (FOS)]. ''DeviantArt''</ref> in which Lazerbot took different posts from the thread and replied to them giving his response back to specific "criticisms". Afterwards Lazerbot would not pay much attention to ''Something Awful'' itself (barring the occasional call out<ref>UltimateLazerbot (October 18, 2014). [https://www.deviantart.com/ultimatelazerbot/journal/News-flash-489108021 News flash]. ''DeviantArt''</ref><ref>UltimateLazerbot (June 25, 2015). [https://www.deviantart.com/ultimatelazerbot/journal/MY-last-statement-towards-troll-forums-like-SA-ED-541955297 MY last statement towards troll forums like SA ED]. ''DeviantArt''</ref>).


The comic would continue on steadily up until 2015, taking a 2 year break until the most recent chapter, [[Chapter 22: The conclusion Part 2]], was released in 2017. Around this period in time, the brothers would begin to move ''Tails Gets Trolled'' related content from the ultimatelazerbot account to a new one, titled then as llupsidedownll. This new account would also host [[Lazerbot/Other works|other comics]] made by Lazerbot and Embergram. The purpose of moving accounts was explained in a journal post where it was stated by the brothers that they wanted to have a central area to find all ''Tails Gets Trolled'' chapters, in addition to other projects that they would hold.<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/ultimatelazerbot/journal/The-Switch-667524759 The Switch (UltimateLazerbot)]</ref> Additionally, because of Embergram and Shimshomo joining in on helping Lazerbot in various works, they felt it was not suitable to host their content on an account titled "ultimatelazerbot" and wanted to use a new account as their central "hub" for their collective content.
From that point onwards, the thread would see less positivity and more criticism, which ranged from constructive to outright insulting at varying points. To this day the thread remains up and somewhat active.


After releasing Chapter 22, Lazerbot had attempted to reboot the series with ''[[Tails Gets Trolled Polished]]'', which received a lukewarm reception from fans, and did not continue past the first chapter. On December 2017, the series was placed on hold until November 2019, where the cover for [[Chapter 23: The conclusion - Part 3]] was released, with a team of volunteers drawing out the script released in 2017. Upon completion, Lazerbot returned and continued the story beginning with [http://www.tailsgetstrolled.org/ch23/pg19.html Page 19] of Chapter 23.

On April 26th, 2021, it was announced that Lazerbot would no longer work on ''Tails Gets Trolled''. The next day, however, his brother, Embergram announced that he will be continuing the series in his absence for the time being.<ref>[https://twitter.com/tailsgottrolled/status/1387172167284977667 Bad news (update)]</ref>

Revision as of 19:30, 19 November 2024

For the first chapter of the comic, go here. For other uses, see Tails Gets Trolled (disambiguation).
The cover of Chapter 1.

Tails Gets Trolled (commonly abbreviated to TGT) is a webcomic created by Lazerbot. Originally released on 2011, it focuses on the titular character, Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog, being trolled which slowly leads to a series of events centered around revenge, multiple opposing factions, betrayal, necromancy, gonorrhoea, marijuana, romance, and more.

Premise

The story of Tails Gets Trolled begins with Tails being trolled in the first chapter. Tails and friends soon enter conflict with The Trolls and things begin to spiral out of control as they realize that there is much more going on in the world than a conflict between the two groups. Tails and his friends are separated in the ensuing chaos and are split into their own journeys (mostly) centered around dealing with the Trolls.

History

work in progress

Background

DeviantArt (historically stylized as deviantART) is a community website launched on August 7, 2000. It allows users to upload their own artwork, photos, videos, and stories to their profile, where other users can comment and critique them. This is the website Lazerbot would find himself on to upload his own works of art. The exact date when he created his account has been lost to time, but his first submission was uploaded on September 14, 2009. (insert shit about stuff he uploaded before tgt here). Eventually, in late 2011, he would create what later became the epoch of his magnum opus.

The Beginning

The first page of Tails Gets Trolled was posted on DeviantArt on October 10, 2011, at 3:17 AM Central Daylight Time, entitled "tails getting trolled".[1] This first page that was uploaded depicts Sonic comforting a traumatized Tails, as Sonic explains to Shadow that Tails had gotten trolled, and they discuss their own particular methods on how to deal with trolls. The second page, and the first chronologically, was uploaded later that morning at 6:34 AM CDT, titled "tails gets trolled flashback", depicting the actual event of Tails getting trolled by Butter Tits and the Dick Taker.[2] At some unknown point later, the page titles were renamed to be the second and first pages of the comic respectively, which is how they are known today. The third page was uploaded on the same day at 10:49 PM CDT, and several more pages would be posted throughout the next week, interspersed with Lazerbot's usual art submissions unrelated to Tails Gets Trolled.

Something Awful

The comic would stay in the sea of DeviantArt and would not reach the coasts of the Internet as a whole until it was discovered by the website Something Awful. On February 18, 2012, Something Awful user Nunez would post a thread[3] on the websites' GBS (General Bullshit) subforum about the comic. Many users reacted with bewilderment to the comic, reacting to the typos and crude artstyle of the comics with some people likening Lazerbot to the likes of Chris Chan due to both material involving characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise as well as both authors appearing to be "abnormal" in the eyes of onlookers.

Keven drops a reference to Something Awful's word filter for unregistered users.

Despite this, the thread in general had a positive reception to the comic and went on to produce fanart of various panels and moments within the first few chapters. Said works became notable enough that the website as a whole put up a front page article[4] showcasing the thread, giving the comic more exposure. Lazerbot himself would take notice of the comic's newly found attention[5] and would occasionally slip in references to the thread itself within Tails Gets Trolled, such as using phrases from the websites word filter (most notably "gently caress," which replaces "fuck" for non-registered users, sometimes spelled as "gently cares" in the comic).

As time went on, however, Something Awful would then be viewed in a more negative light as two incidents occurred. People, not limited to Something Awful however, would become more critical of the comic around Chapter 12, criticizing the comic for its focus on OCs and long battle sequences. Additionally, after an incident stemming from a comment left underneath a drawing of Hello Kitty with Tails on DeviantArt, a heated discussion about whether or not said wording is appropriate or morally allowed transpired. These two incidents angered Lazerbot leading to him leaving several angry messages on his Facebook and ultimatelazerbot deviantart account, lashing out at the detractors, which in turn would spill into the thread itself. Much of the negative criticism would then be attributed to "SA users". From then on the thread would be seen in a more critical view from Lazerbot himself which would lead to negative references being made about Something Awful in the comic itself, such as Doug namedropping Something Awful during Chapter 18[6]. This would culminate in a post made on the ultimatelazerbot deviantArt account[7] in which Lazerbot took different posts from the thread and replied to them giving his response back to specific "criticisms". Afterwards Lazerbot would not pay much attention to Something Awful itself (barring the occasional call out[8][9]).

From that point onwards, the thread would see less positivity and more criticism, which ranged from constructive to outright insulting at varying points. To this day the thread remains up and somewhat active.

The comic would continue on steadily up until 2015, taking a 2 year break until the most recent chapter, Chapter 22: The conclusion Part 2, was released in 2017. Around this period in time, the brothers would begin to move Tails Gets Trolled related content from the ultimatelazerbot account to a new one, titled then as iiupsidedownii. This new account would also host other comics made by Lazerbot and Embergram. The purpose of moving accounts was explained in a journal post where it was stated by the brothers that they wanted to have a central area to find all Tails Gets Trolled chapters, in addition to other projects that they would hold.[10] Additionally, because of Embergram and Shimshomo joining in on helping Lazerbot in various works, they felt it was not suitable to host their content on an account titled "ultimatelazerbot" and wanted to use a new account as their central "hub" for their collective content.

Revival

After releasing Chapter 22, Lazerbot had attempted to reboot the series with Tails Gets Trolled Polished, which received a lukewarm reception from fans, and did not continue past the first chapter. On December 2017, the series was placed on hold until November 2019, where the cover for Chapter 23: The conclusion - Part 3 was released, with a team of volunteers drawing out the script released in 2017. Upon completion, Lazerbot returned and continued the story beginning with Page 19 of Chapter 23.

On April 26th, 2021, it was announced that Lazerbot would no longer work on Tails Gets Trolled. The next day, however, his brother, Embergram announced that he will be continuing the series in his absence for the time being.[11] This would turn out to be short lived, however, as on November 20th, 2021, Lazerbot would then announce that he would return to the comic, albeit in a less involved role than before. He would then put out an official statement on November 29th clarifying his role.[12] Embergram would handle much of the story's direction through Chapter 25 until April 2022 when he would depart from the project. Lazerbot and his brother Shimshomo would then take the lead from then on.

Contents

Tails Gets Trolled consists of several Chapters going through the main plot of the series, alongside Side Stories, which consist of canon prequels, alternate timelines, or one-off joke comics.

todo: maybe make this its own page as it's quite long
