Eleven days ago he added a comment
>Yeah, there's definitely something fishy. The film The Martian (2015) was sued for infringement. A screenwriter from Russia named Mikhail Raskhodnikov wrote a screenplay called The Martian in 2008 about a cosmonaut stranded on Mars who is rescued. He shopped it around different studios who all passed.
>Fox won the lawsuit because the movie was based on the 2011 book.
>I suspect Weir somehow got his hands on the script and turned it into a novel. I wouldn't even be surprised if someone at the studio put him up to it.

Before he did the Martian, Andy also had two webcomics. The first, Casey and Andy, was legitimately smart funny albeit with really poor art. Plus this was before the internet went insane, so he could get away with hornyposting sometimes, notably with
. The second was a step to far, consisting of some weird sexually deviant version of Alice in Wonderland and Wendy. About the time he became successful that whole thing was mostly scrubbed from the internet.

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.
The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.
Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to •show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.
Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
