Whetstone is a user that is famous for his Christian YTMNDs. His views on Christianity have been said to split the community. Some side with him because of their own views, the quality of the work, or other reasons. Others downvote his works (whether Christian or not) and produce anti-Christian YTMNDs in response. In most of his Christian-based YTMNDs, he uses a slideshow to illustrate a point. However, many users are quick to point out "Flaws" and "Circular logic" in his works.
His Christian works are by no means his first, however. He is also credited for quality, neutral creations such as YTMND Nexus 2.0 and Tenacious D: MIND BULLETS!, and is in additon a balanced voter (That is, having a balanced amount of upvotes, downvotes, and neutral votes). However, as people tend emphasize the bad over the good, so Whetstone will seemingly always remain in the views of most YTMNDers as "self-righteous" and "crazy". The YTMND "Christian Martyrdom" caused such a disruption in fact that Max himself commented on a page, featuring a picture of George Zimmer with a large penis.
Recent attacks on Whetstone have included
- Vandalism of his comments (presumably by Max). A picture of a Catholic church signboard that says "Too much Jesus, not enough cock" was added to the comment code. Peterguy and GendoIkari were also vandalized in the same manner. These images have been taken down since the September YTMND update.
- A petition to have him banned. [1] The community seemed split on the issue with many citing freedom of speech as a reason Whetstone should continue as a YTMND user.
- Frequent groundless accusations of self-sponsorship.
- Attempts to change the way YTMND sponsorship works to get his work off of the front page. [2]
- Fad remakes. [3]
- Uniform downvoting of all of his YTMNDs regardless of content or quality.
