trying to get research for my comic so I asked Portland reddit for ideas and of course one person responded “sounds like gravity falls” when all I said was it’s a “paranormal fantasy adventure in NW Oregon”
no matter how different it is that’s probably gonna be constantly brought up
and it bugs me because I GREW UP HERE
I have EVERY right to make my own story here
and Gravity Falls didn’t invent weirdness or the ghost/monster hunting genre
that is something I’ve been passionate about since childhood
it’s not fair that just because someone beat me to it I’m suddenly not allowed to do it without being called a ripoff
if its any consolation, there are people who claim that shadow of the colossus is ripoff of attack on titan so no matter what and when somehting is made people will be stupid
